The TV anime series "Kirio Fan Club" (original: "Kirio Fanclub") is getting notable reinforcements for its fourth episode. As announced by the production, Fumihiko Tachiki (known from "Neon Genesis Evangelion") will be heard as Aimi's grandfather, while Mamiko Noto will voice Nozomi's mother. The new episode titled "Important Time" will air on Japanese television on April 23.

The story is based on the manga series of the same name by Chikyu no Osakana Ponchan and is described as a "one-way street romantic comedy." It centers on the two high school students Aimi Miyoshi and Nami Someya, who share their uncontrollable infatuations and fantasies about their classmate Kirio—even though he hardly seems to take notice of them.

In the fourth episode airing on Thursday, Aimi takes a big step forward and exchanges her contact information with Kirio. In search of a love spell to make her feelings reciprocated, she turns to her classmate Mitsuda. However, his cheerful facade begins to show its first cracks.

The series is directed by Sō Toyama at Studio Satelight, with Aya Satsuki responsible for both series composition and scripts. The series airs in the "Super Animeism TURBO" block on MBS/TBS channels and is available on various streaming platforms shortly after broadcast.
