The 11th episode of the TV anime "ATRI -My Dear Moments-", based on a game by Aniplex's novel game brand "ANIPLEX.EXE", was broadcast late at night on TOKYO MX and other stations on September 21st, and a collaborative illustration with the anime "Idolish Seven (I7)" was unveiled as the end card. Ono Kensho, who plays Ikaruga Natsumi in "ATRI", also plays Nanase Riku in "Idolish Seven", and the two share the commonality of being produced by the same anime production company, TROYCA, so the collaborative illustration was drawn. The story is set in an "if" scenario: "What if a magazine with Riku on the cover was kept in the library at Natsumi's school..." The illustration shows a magazine with Nanase Riku on the cover placed on the desk where Ikaruga Natsumi is doing research in the school library. The illustration was drawn by Sato Michio, who is a staff member on both works.
Ono commented, "This is something only Troika, who has a connection with us, could do! I wonder if Natsuo, who fell asleep, was researching delicious crab dishes, and I can't sleep because I'm curious about what Riku was introducing in the magazine! Please look forward to next week!"
The end cards for "ATRI" feature illustrations of creators connected to the work, collaborations with other works, and corporate collaborations, and the release of collaboration illustrations with "Astro Boy" and "Mazinger Z" became a hot topic.
The game "ATRI -My Dear Moments-" is the first title of "ANIPLEX.EXE", which was launched in 2019. It depicts the summer youth of a lonely boy and a robot girl. The anime is directed by Makoto Kato, with series composition and scriptwriting by Jukki Hanada. It is produced by TROYCA.
