The short CG anime Pan no Akachan, released on YouTube and SNS in December 2024, is getting a TV series that premieres July 4 on Kantele and Fuji TV's Doyō wa Nani Suru!? block. The series switches from CG to stop-motion animation, with Dwarf Studio (AOI Pro.) joining as production cooperation. Director Haruka Ichikawa returns for planning, script, and direction. The first PV is out now.
Dwarf Studio's Shuhei Harada said the team explored what stop-motion with real objects can express that CG cannot, focusing on the squishy texture of bread dough rather than the fluffy cloth puppets the studio usually makes. New characters and cast will be announced later.
