The news of Tonari no 801-chan anime was retracted two weeks after the announcement last summer. It was supposed to be produced by Kyoto Animation, which Director Yamamoto previously belonged to. The singer of the theme song of the short animation will be chosen by a public audition to be held on Niconico Anime Channel.

... but I don't wanna cause an unnecessary trouble. So I'll be modest in this work.
Please pardon us for making only 90 seconds long anime.

Mainichi Online reported that Yamamoto Yutaka will produce a full series of 801-chan, but it contradicts the news stories from other sources.
