The official website for the anime of Atto's Non Non Biyori manga announced that the previously revealed new anime project is Non Non Biyori Vacation, an anime film opening in theaters next summer. The website also updated with new teaser visual:
The website reports that the main cast and staff are returning from the previous two television anime seasons:
- Kotori Koiwai as Renge Miyauchi
- Rie Murakawa as Hotaru Ichijō
- Ayane Sakura as Natsumi Koshigaya
- Kana Asumi as Komari Koshigaya
- Kaori Nazuka as Kazuho Miyauchi
- Rina Satō as Kaede Kagayama
- Misato Fukuen as Hikage Miyauchi
- Ryoko Shintani as Konomi Fujimiya
- Director: Shinya Kawatsura
- Series Composition: Reiko Yoshida
- Character Design: Mai Otsuka
- Background Art: Kusanagi
- Sound Director: Toshiki Kameyama (grooove)
- Music: Hiromi Mizutani (Team-MAX)
- Music Production: Lantis
- Animation Production: SILVER LINK
As in the earlier television anime, the anime's website lists Suguru Koshigaya's voice cast member as "????"
The Rinkai! train line's Kokusai Tenjijō station will feature giant posters for the film from December 25 to December 31. (The nearby Tokyo Big Sight venue will host the Comic Market event during the last three days of the year.)
The manga takes place in the countryside, where the nearest bookstore is 20 minutes away by bicycle, a certain "Ju_p" magazine comes out on Wednesdays instead of Mondays, and the video rental store is 10 stations away. Hotaru Ichijō transfers from Tokyo to this school and readjusts to the slow life in the country. Her fellow schoolmates are Natsumi, Komari, Renge, and Komari's big brother Suguru in the third year of middle school.
The manga already inspired two television seasons (in 2013 and 2015) and two original anime DVDs. The first television series from director Shinya Kawatsura and anime Studio Silver LINK (WATAMOTE, Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts) premiered in 2013, while the second premiered in 2015. Crunchyroll streamed both television seasons as they aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks licensed and released both series for North American digital and home video release.
