Friday, June 14, 2024, saw the staff for the television Delico’s Nursery anime series reveal a new main promotional video for the series, confirming its August 2024 premiere window. In addition, the staff also revealed the show’s opening and ending theme song titles and artists, with both being previewed in the latest promotional video.

The Delico’s Nursery anime was originally planned to air in July 2024 but suffered a delay for reasons that have yet to be made publicly available as of this article’s writing. Instead, the series will air four special programs once a week from July 10 onward. The first three will highlight the franchise’s stage play series, while the fourth will feature a discussion with the anime’s cast.

The Delico’s Nursery anime series is a television anime based on playwright Kenichi Suemitsu’s 2009 stage play titled TRUMP, which first opened in Japan in 2009. The play has since inspired other plays, short stories, and concerts, as well as a manga from illustrator Hamaguri which runs in Kadokawa’s Young Ace magazine. Hamaguri planned to launch the Cocoon prequel manga after the original concluded on February 2, 2024, but delayed it due to health issues.
