Netflix began streaming a “special video” for Rilakkuma and Kaoru (Rilakkuma to Kaoru-san), the anime series of San-X’s “Rilakkuma” character, on Tuesday.
The character’s story begins when the titular Rilakkuma suddenly appears in the apartment of office worker Kaoru and begins living there, spending every day idling around.
The video shows the titular character Rilakkuma as actually being a kigurumi costume that can be taken off, even if what is actually inside remains mysterious and unseen.
Masahito Kobayashi is directing the anime at Dwarf Studio (Domo), while Naoko Ogigami (Kamome Shokudō, Megane, Close-Knit) is writing the scripts.
