FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Aniplex of America Launches Teaser Site for
Cafe Comedy BLEND-S and
Announces Special Cafe Collaboration Event in Los Angeles

Crack Open a Cold Brew with the Girls
in this Super Kawaii Working Comedy Premiering this Fall!

SANTA MONICA, CA (September 11, 2017) - Aniplex of America has launched the teaser site for the highly anticipated working comedy, BLEND-S. Based on Miyuki Nakayama's popular manga series by the same name, BLEND-S revolves around a cafe where each of the employees must play a specific persona while working at the cafe. Produced by the acclaimed studio A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, anohana~The Flower We Saw That Day~), BLEND-S has signed on Yosuke Okuda (High School Fleet, Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion) for Character Designer and Ryoji Masuyama (Gurren Lagann franchise, Occultic;Nine) as Director. BLEND-S is scheduled to premiere on October 7th at 10 AM PDT.

BLEND-S' opening theme song titled "Bon Appeti~t ♥S" will be sung by the 3 main cast members (Azumi Waki, Akari Kito, and Anzu Haruno), who make up the girl group "Blend•A" (pronounced Blend Ace). The show introduces a range of female anime archetypes including theclassic tsundere personality, the little sister (or imouto) type, and the super bossy sadist or Do-S, as it is known in Japan.

"As I've completely become a fan of BLEND-S myself, I'm so happy to be voicing Maika," says Azumi Waki, who plays the main character Maika Sakuranomiya assigned to play the Do-S role in the cafe. "I will do my best to portray all of Maika's different personalities, including the everyday, adorable Maika to her super sadistic side! It's such a wonderful and fun cafe, I wish I actually worked there! Please stay tuned for a peek into the Do-S life!"

To commemorate the premiere of BLEND-S, Aniplex of America is also partnering with Cafe Dulce in Little Tokyo (Los Angeles, CA) for a limited time collaboration event with branded exclusive giveaways in October. More details will follow on the official BLEND-S Facebook page at Facebook.com/BlendS.USA.

CHARACTERS:
Maika Sakuranomiya (Do-S/Super Sadist Type)

BLEND-S Introduction:
Everything's a treat - even being stomped on - in this outrageous working comedy!

At Cafe Stile, tsundere and imouto (or little sister type) are only a few of the characters the cafe waitresses must act out. Much to her surprise, new hire, Maika, is asked by the cafe manager to take on the role of the super sadist?! As she works hard at her new job, she unexpectedly flourishes as a super sadist and...

Good to hear that it's coming out as a complete set rather than those half-cour sets that Aniplex has been putting out. As expected, this is a sub-only release as this show's profile is similar to Wagnaria's. It definitely is a welcomed change seeing that I would rather have something all at once, or at the very least one cour per installment.

Good to hear that it's coming out as a complete set ...

This. Now I have no qualms pre-ordering it.

[GingaDaiuchuu]

Definitely not a show I need to spend $100 on, especially without a dub or any great packaging or extras, but for people who value it at that much, a nice little Blu-ray with the full series isn't the worst you could ask for.
