★About "The BERICH"
The BERICH are a creative team started in 2001 of three brothers who live in Uozu city in Toyama prefecture. Born out of their brotherly love, they handle the direction, writing, animation, settings, character design, voice acting, and music all with a unique, independent style combining a non-Japanese aesthetic and artistic sense and the uncouth, unrefined comedic style of aboriginal Japanese peoples.
