The creditless opening sequence for the Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie anime has surpassed 1 million views on YouTube. The anime premiered on April 9, 2022, and the video was uploaded on YouTube right after the broadcast of the first episode.
The official Twitter of the anime also announced the milestone:
Nasuo☆ performed the anime’s opening song titled “Honey Jet Coaster”. The anime currently has 3 episodes, although it faced the risk of postponement after the broadcast of episode 1 because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the production studio. The premiere was already delayed by 1 week due to “organizational reasons”.
Ryota Ito (My Senpai is Annoying) is directing Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie at studio Doga Kobo (Plastic Memories). The series is steaming on Crunchyroll and Muse Asia.
