This means that Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus will be the first TV adaptation since the original series and will be counted as Season 2 of the show.
All of the movies and the first series have pretty good reviews, with Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out the lowest with an average score of 7.75 on My Anime List and all of the others above an 8.Â
Despite the interesting format for adaptation, the movies and the series are consistent. All the adaptations are directed by CloverWorks (Bocchi the Rock!) with Soichi Masui (Samurai Champloo) as the director, Satomi Tamura (Kiznaiver) as the character designer, and Masahiro Yokotani (Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!) as the scriptwriter.
