On the other hand, Gonzo is animating the upcoming anime adaptation under the direction of Yoshiko Okuda, with Tomoko Konparu taking charge of the series composition and Youko Satou working on the character designs. Takuro Iga is in charge of music composition, while Flying Dog takes care of the music production.
Additional staff members include Hikaru Suzuki, who will be serving as general animation director; Mika Narukawa, who will be in charge of the special effects and 2D design; and Norifumi Nakamura and Tsutomu Nagai who will be the series' art director and CG director respectively.
The series tells the story of a female college student named Aoi, who can see spirits owing to the ability she has inherited from her late grandfather. Aside from this, Aoi prides herself on her culinary skills and was feeding some agricultural spirits on the day the god and master of the Tenshinya (Heavenly Inn) appears before her and takes her away.
As it turns out, her late grandfather has left behind some debts that the god now wants Aoi to pay by becoming his bride. However, instead of agreeing to be tied down to a union she doesn't like, Aoi instead proposes to pay back her grandfather's debt by working as a cook at the Heavenly Inn.
"Afterlife Inn Cooking" premieres sometime in April on Tokyo MX and BS Fuji. Information on other broadcast schedules and online resources will be available on the series' official site at a later date.
