Gelpiyo Anime Sequel Sets October 21 Premiere on Tokyo MX1
A mascot anime built around Taica's Alpha Gel technology is getting a second television run with a returning cast and two bands voicing in-story counterparts of themselves, which keeps the corporate mascot tied to music promotion rather than a standalone character short.

Tokyo MX announced that the Gelpiyo television anime, based on industrial company Taica's mascot character, will get a sequel premiering on the Tokyo MX1 channel on October 21. The regular cast returns. New guest cast includes Park Yu Chun as a fortuneteller and RIP SLYME artist SU as himself. Silent Siren performs the opening theme, NEVER END ROLL the ending theme.
The sequel keeps the same cast, with Emi Nitta returning as Gelpiyo and BroPiyo and Shota Aoi as Aopiyo and Obapiyo. Joining them are Park Yu Chun as a fortuneteller and RIP SLYME's SU as himself.
