The anime will feature an original story where Bono Bono and the other characters journey through space.
Igarashi’s manga depicts the absurd gag humor of Bono Bono the otter, Shimarisu the chipmunk, Araiguma the raccoon, and other animals.
Shin Katagai (Neo Angelique Abyss) is directing the original anime at Eiken in collaboration with TYO Animations.
The official website for the new anime of Mikio Igarashi’s four-panel gag comedy manga Bono Bono revealed on Wednesday that the anime will get an original planetarium anime that will be shown in planetariums throughout Japan this fall.
