The webtoon Kindergarten for Divine Beasts is being adapted into an AI-based animated TV series airing on South Korea's Anione channel. Daewon Broadcasting leads production with Glitch Goblin Studio.

The webtoon Kindergarten for Divine Beasts is getting an AI-based animated series that will air on South Korea's Anione channel later this month. Daewon Broadcasting, which operates the channel, handled planning, production, and post-production in collaboration with Glitch Goblin Studio, an AI-focused video studio under Korea Edu Group. Each episode runs 10 minutes and adapts two original webtoon episodes. A Daewon representative said the project treats AI as a practical creative tool rather than just an automation system, and that the team worked to keep the original webtoon's tone and character appeal while meeting broadcast standards. The webtoon, written by Geul Mat and drawn by Mimba, has over 4 million global views since its January 2025 launch on WEBTOON.
