A television anime adaptation of the popular Kobito-Zukan picture book series has been green-lit.
The picture book series launched in 2006 and follows Kobitos, mysterious creatures that are neither insects nor plants.
Sumi Shimamoto (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’s title character, Maison Ikkoku’s Kyoko Otonashi) will play the main lead Kakuremomojiri, and Tempura Kidz will perform the theme song.
The retitled Chobitto-Zukan anime spinoff will run on the Kids Station, Tokyo MX, and TV Kanazawa channels.
