The popular heart-full raccoon story by Tomo Nagawa, “Are you not going to be a raccoon dog? (COMIC POOL/published by Ichijinsha) has been made into a TV animation! Directed by Jun Kamiya of “Kingdom” and “Yaku Nara Mug Cup”, and the animation production will be the Japanese animation of “Rascal the Raccoon” and “Chibi Maruko-chan”. We will maximize the warm interactions between humans and raccoon dogs, which are the charms of this work, and the beautiful view of the world.
And this time, along with the decision to make a TV animation, a teaser visual and a special newsletter will be released! In the special video, the raccoon dogs run around vividly in nature, and the beautiful music created by Minako Seki adds color to the work.
In addition, a congratulatory illustration and comment from the original: Tomo Nagawa has arrived! We will send out information from the official anime website and X (former Twitter), which was opened today, so please pay attention to future developments.
