The official website for the Pochitto Hatsumei: Pikachin-Kit (Pochi and Invention: Pikachin-Kit) multimedia project began streaming an “episode 0” for the anime on Thursday.
The television anime will premiere in Japan on January 6 at 9:30 a.m. on TV Tokyo and its affiliates.
The anime centers on a fifth-year elementary student named Eiji Tōmatsu, and his “inspiration” buddy, a dog named Pochirō.
In the video, the protagonist Eiji assembles “cunninglasses” so he can read his classmate’s note about the boy she likes.
