The anime was originally scheduled to air in July 2024, but was delayed by a month due to production circumstances.
Original TRUMP series writer and author Kenichi Suemitsu is writing the script and scenario for Delico's Nursery, with Hiroshi Nishikiori (Gekijouban Idolish Seven: Live 4bit – Beyond the Period) directing, Araya as original character designer, Yoko Ito (Little Busters!, Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma) as character designer and chief animation director, and Shunsuke Wada (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba stage play) as composer. JCSTAFF is in charge of animation production.
Meanwhile, the anime's main voice cast includes:
• Masakazu Morita as Dali Delico • Katsuyuki Konishi as Gerhard Fra • Hiro Shimono as Henrique Lorca • Takuya Sato as Dino Classico • Rina Hidaka as Uru Delico • Konomi Kohara as Lafaelo Delico • Ayasa Ito as Angelico Fra • Yu Wakui as Lucia Lorca • Sanae Fuku as Elena Lorca • Chika Anzai as Theodore Classico
Suemitsu's original TRUMP stage play premiered in Japan in 2009. The play has inspired several other plays, short stories, and live concerts, as well as a manga adaptation by Hamaguri that ran in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine from November 4, 2020 to December 4, 2023. Another prequel manga titled Cocoon will be serialized in the same magazine in 2024.
