Shuffle! (anime)

For the Visual Novel, go to Shuffle!

The '''Shuffle! Anime''' is the based loosely off the 2004 Shuffle! visual novel game. The series consisted of 24 episodes and ran in Japan from July 2005 to January 2006.

A special prologue DVD was released on May 27, 2005.

Description
It was broadcast in Japan WOWOW and aired between July 7, 2005 and January 5, 2006 spanning twenty-four episodes. The anime combines elements from all of the characters' paths from the game into one plot, although it differs from the game by adding some elements, such as the idol clubs formed around Sia, Nerine, and Kaede, and removing others, such as the H-scenes. With the merged plot, the main character Rin ends up with Asa rather the others who sought out his love.

The anime's opening theme is "You" by Yuria and the ending theme is "Innocence" by Miyuki Hashimoto.

On January 1, 2007, Funimation Entertainment announced licensing the anime adaptation of Shuffle! for English-language dubbed release.

Shuffle! Memories
The game was again adapted by Asread into a 12-episode anime series titled '''Shuffle! Memories'''. It was broadcast between January 6 and March 25, 2007. It was a recap of the original Shuffle! anime, rearranging scenes from the original series into individual character specific episodes, and contains no new original content aside from the last episode, which served as comical relief.

It features 13 pieces of theme music performed by Yuria, Miyuki Hashimoto, and the respective voice actors for the five heroines of Shuffle!.
