Synopsis
This is the Animation Store Manager!! Anime Tenchou is a CM character for Animate, one of Japan's largest retailers of anime, games, and manga. The character series was originally created by Shimamoto Kazuhiko for promotional purposes. It later expanded into a manga, a weekly radio drama, and this OVA, which was animated by GAINAX and helmed by director Anno Hideaki. Anizawa Meito is the blazing store manager. A fireball at heart who loves animation merchandise, they take over the dying wish of the former store manager—who, though still alive, was attacked by a rival store—and become the "store manager" of a newly opened specialty store for animation goods called Animate. Their trademark is the scarlet "store manager visor."
