New Visual and Cast Unveiled for Chimimo Anime

The Chimimo anime’s official website released the original TV anime’s main cast members and second key visual.

This “heart-warming comedy” anime centers on Chimimo, who is a messenger of hell and a shape-shifting evil demon. Chimimo is one of 12 evil demons whose mission is to turn the human world into hell. The 12 demons, along with “Jigoku-san”, go to the human world, but Jigoku-san and Chimimo become freeloaders to a family of three sisters named Mutsumi, Hazuki, and Mei.

Since its first visual (below) was released, one of the major talking points has been the adorable character designs for the anime.
