Our Days

Our Days is a Japanese animated television series produced by Studio Acesky for AnimeCore. It is a slice of life comedy-drama based around a group of six friends as they go through middle and high school together.

It is a spiritual successor to Senior Days and College Days, both of which were programs on the channel before.

Production
Development of the show began in 2021 when higher ups started to look back at what IPs they have and what they could capitalize on. One was Drift King, and another was Senior/College Days. Producers thought that merging the two shows and stretching out the initial plot for a few years would make the franchise grow more.

Hikari Aozora, one of the newly hired producers for original animation for AnimeCore was hired to produce and write the show.

Animation process
Animation took place at Studio Acesky's primary animation studio (Studio A) with ToonIn as the primary support studio. 1Shift animated a few scenes with touch up, key animation, and composition in the first three episodes to assist with the anime as they get through their legal papers before starting animating on Solstice.

Firebasket Asian Animation Studios and DR Movie are the main contractors for support animation including key animation, in-between animation, composition, photography, amongst others. Studio Bamboo worked on a few backgrounds alongside Vision Animation Japan.

Renewals
Showrunner and Head Producer for the anime, Hikari Aozora, announced that the anime will have at least four seasons running from 2022 to 2026, twenty-four episodes each.

After two months on air, it was announced officially that a second and third season will air in the Summer/Fall of 2023 and 2024.

Broadcast
In Japan and South Korea, AnimeCore airs the anime. AnimeCore South Korea airs it as a simulcast.

Streaming
Comet Distribution licenses the streaming rights to Crunchyroll/Funimation, Tubi, HIDIVE, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Flare+, Peacock TV, and Anime-Planet (latter being a Crunchyroll supported platform). The simulcast started on July 8th, 2022, and episodes airs globally on the streaming platforms noted 30 minutes after it airs in Japan.
