Plott built its audience on YouTube and TikTok and is now taking that short-form IP to broadcast television, handling the licensing and merchandising itself while also pushing overseas distribution.

Plott Inc., the studio behind short anime such as "Konketsu no Karekore" and "Teikou Penguin," announced on Tuesday, October 6 that it is entering the terrestrial television anime business. Three short anime titles will roll out on terrestrial TV starting in 2027, with titles, broadcasters, and dates to be announced as they are decided. Plott will handle planning, production, licensing, and merchandising in-house.
The company will keep everything in-house, from planning and production to licensing and merchandising, rather than handing those duties to outside partners. Plott says it will also work with partner companies on tie-ins tied to the TV expansion and pursue overseas broadcasting and streaming. The studio produces short anime mainly for YouTube and TikTok; its own IP includes "Konketsu no Karekore," "Teikou Penguin," and "Shiritsu Para no Maru High School." It has also produced short anime based on other companies' IP, among them Shogakukan's "Black Channel" and Kodansha's "Hundred Note."
