The spring anime "Otonari ni Ginga" that will start in April 2023 is a work serialized in "good! Afternoon", and its content is a heartwarming SF intercultural love comedy woven by the protagonist, a girl manga artist, and a heroine from an isolated island where traditional customs remain. The heartwarming home comedy seen in the previous work "Sweetness and Lightning" that was also animated is alive and well, and it is a work that I am looking forward to broadcasting. In this article, I would like to summarize the production staff and cast of "Otonari ni Ginga"!
The production company of Otonari ni Ginga is "Asahi Production"! !
The production company of Otonari ni Ginga is "Asahi Production". Founded in 1973, the company is headquartered in Nerima, Tokyo. In 2009, the company opened the Miyagi Shiroishi Studio in Shiroishi, Miyagi Prefecture. In the 2000s, the company was mostly contracted by Sanrio to produce children's animations, such as Hello Kitty and Sugarbunnies, but it has also started to produce more works as a prime contractor, such as "Super Robot Wars OG -The Inspector-" which aired in 2010 and "Himegoto" which aired in 2014.
The director in charge of Ginga Next Door is Kimura Ryuichi!!
The director of Otonari ni Ginga is Ryuichi Kimura! Born in 1971 in Tokyo and raised in Niigata. He has worked on directing and storyboards, and in 2012 he directed his first work, Aikatsu!, which became a hit, along with the series that followed. Other works he has directed include Pikachin Kit, Kemono Friends 2, Aikatsu Planet!, and Mononokegari.

【Galaxy Next Door】Production Staff and Voice Actors Summary
We have compiled a list of the animation company and staff that are producing Galaxy Next Door, as well as the currently known voice actors! It's a heartwarming love comedy, and the tempo of the original work makes it a work that is well suited to animation! Another thing to note is that the child actor who played the real child role in the author's previous work, Amaama to Inazuma, will be appearing as an elementary school student this time! It's not uncommon for children to take on the role of voice actors, but one of the highlights will be seeing how they grow up!
