Popular Japanese anime series Pururun! Shizuka-chan is about to make a splash on the DS, courtesy of developer Open Sesame.Shizuka is a raindrop sprite, and is joined by a selection of liquid chums. These include a milk sprite, various tea sprites and, our favourite, an aftershave sprite.
The story centres around the adventures of Shizuka, and his attempts to rescue animals lost around the forest. The action moves through five different themed areas: ranch, cave, forest, flower garden, and fruit field.
The stylus is used to drop water onto the animals. Wrapping the animals in water makes them rise up into the clouds, and judging from the screenshots they look perfectly happy. This is perhaps due to the calming effects of the magic fruits.
Pururun! Shizuka-chan hits Japanese shelves on July 12th; fingers crossed for a western release after that.
