Otona Joshi no Anime Time~Animation for Grown up GIRLS

Otona Joshi no Anime Time is an animation program targeted to women above 30  called Otona Joshi. The word Otona Joshi literally means grown up girls, and the word represents women who are eager to grow, learn, stay pretty and fashionable, enjoy life, seeking real love etc…regardless of their ages and their social status(single, married, with kids, no kids etc…). Therefore, Otona Joshi no Anime Time literally means Animation Time For Grown up Girls.

Each show presents 25 min. complete short story based on works  by award winning & best selling female novelists in Japan.  The show visualizes deep and ambivalent feelings of women in beautiful animation, a marriage of Japanese literature and animation! In each story, you may find part of yourself.

The idea was proposed by Curiouscope,  and is co-produced with NHK Enterprises and NHK.

3 new stories will be aired  in March 2013 on NHK BS Premium channel.    (c) NHK/NEP/CURIOUSCOPE
