The announcement was accompanied by a celebratory illustration by the artist, and the post directed to what seemed to be an \u201cofficial\u201d X account made to promote the anime. As Ikegami explained in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/akaneikegami_re\/status\/2017513139361976805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related post<\/a>, the illustration was commissioned by an anime production committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a couple of hours after the announcement, HULOTTE made an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hulotte_jp\/status\/2017567061606875261?s=20\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hulotte_jp\/status\/2017567061606875261?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official statement<\/a> explaining that information about an \u201canime adaptation\u201d was all false, and that, at the time of writing, they had no plans to produce an Orefukachi anime. Therefore, in case an anime adaptation is actually in production, it is being done without permission from the IP owners, HULOTTE explained. The studio noted that they would be looking into the incident, and advised members of the Orefukachi development team, as well as other affiliated creators and voice actors to immediately refer to HULOTTE in case they had been contacted by the aforementioned \u201canime production committee.\u201d The statement led some fans to speculate that Ikegami may have been dragged into a phishing scheme, though no such thing has been officially confirmed at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010\u3054\u5831\u544a\u3011<br><br>\u3053\u306e\u5ea6\u306f\u591a\u304f\u306e\u7686\u69d8\u306b\u3054\u8ff7\u60d1\u3092\u304a\u304b\u3051\u3057\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3044\u3001\u307e\u305f\u304a\u9a12\u304c\u305b\u3057\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3001\u5927\u5909\u7533\u3057\u8a33\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BYXJE565Nu\">pic.twitter.com\/BYXJE565Nu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u6c60\u4e0a\u831c (@akaneikegami_re) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/akaneikegami_re\/status\/2018113931966021915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 2, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days later, Ikegami\u2019s official apology note revealed that the \u201canime adaptation announcement\u201d was fabricated and made of their own accord without previously consulting with HULOTTE or its parent company CUFFS. The artist states that the problematic announcement was only an expression of their \u201cwish to make an anime adaptation come true,\u201d and has no basis in reality. Regarding their statement about being contacted by a production committee, Ikegami clarified that it was also fabricated. The suspicious Orefukachi anime X account was also apparently created and operated by Ikegami themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related articles: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/creator-of-hit-indie-game-needy-streamer-overload-allegedly-got-one-sidedly-removed-from-anime-adaptation-project-with-royalties-left-unpaid\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/creator-of-hit-indie-game-needy-streamer-overload-allegedly-got-one-sidedly-removed-from-anime-adaptation-project-with-royalties-left-unpaid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creator of hit indie game Needy Streamer Overload allegedly got one-sidedly removed from anime adaptation project, with royalties left unpaid\u00a0<br><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese eroge developer HULOTTE announced  that claims about Ore no Hitomi de Maruhadaka!
