It’s a fantasy comedy about an elf who is hundreds of years old and hungry for the latest tech. I want to think that if I was lucky enough to live for hundreds of years, I would still be passionately interested in games and technology.
The series is out on April 7th, with Takefumi Anzai directing the studio C2C project and the Japanese station MBS/TBS running it. Crunchyroll covered the news last month but didn’t say they’d pick up the show but they still might.
Seven Seas has been publishing the manga with its English license, and they provide a synopsis for the story:
Koganei Koito is a teenager who works as an attendant to the Takamimi Shrine. Rumors have it that a deity dwells within the shrine, but the actual resident is an immortal elf who found herself stuck on Earth some four hundred years ago. What’s more, the elf is a total shut-in who won’t go outside…and has developed a taste for video games! Now the attendants at the shrine have to cater to the elf’s love of the most modern gizmos–from handheld games to virtual reality headsets–in this charming fantasy comedy!
Otaku Elf has Yuka Ozaki as Koito Koganei and Ami Koshimizu as Elda.
