Carole & Tuesday

Carole & Tuesday (Japanese: キャロル&チューズデイ, Hepburn: Kyaroru & Chūzudei) is an original anime television series directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. It was produced by Bones in commemoration of the studio's 20th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of record label FlyingDog. It aired from April 11 to October 3, 2019, on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block. A manga adaptation by Morito Yamataka began serialization in Young Ace in May 2019 and ended in July 2020. The manga is licensed in English by Yen Press. An English dub premiered worldwide on Netflix on August 30, 2019.

In the future on a partially terraformed Mars, Tuesday Simmons runs away from her affluent lifestyle as the wealthy daughter of a politician and makes her way to Alba City to pursue her dream of being a musician with just a suitcase and her Gibson acoustic guitar. On her first day in the city, she crosses paths with Carole Stanley, an orphaned refugee from Earth and another aspiring musician who plays the piano. The two decide to team up as a singer-songwriter duo under the name Carole & Tuesday.

The 24-episode anime television series is produced by Bones and directed by Motonobu Hori with Shinichirō Watanabe as supervising director. Eisaku Kubonouchi provided the original character designs, while Tsunenori Saito adapted them for animation. The series aired in Fuji TV's +Ultra timeslot from April 11 to October 3, 2019, and is streamed exclusively on Netflix.
