It has been announced that the TV anime “Shopping Panda!”, featuring the official mascot of the Rakuten Group (Rakuten), “Shopping Panda”, will be broadcast on TOKYO MX from November 6th. On the same day, it will also be available on Rakuten TV, Hulu, U-NEXT, and others. Along with the announcement, a new 15-second commercial was released, featuring a fun-filled key visual amidst the big event, as well as the theme song sung by Shopping Panda (voiced by Otani Ikue).
“Shopping Panda” is Rakuten’s official character, which first appeared as an original LINE stamp for “Rakuten Ichiba” in May 2013 and celebrated its 11th anniversary on May 7 this year. Since then, with its adorable appearance and relatable emotional expressions, it has become popular with many people of all ages and genders, with the number of friends on the “Rakuten Ichiba” official LINE account reaching over 56 million as of September this year.
“Shopping Panda!” is the first TV anime adaptation of “Shopping Panda,” a slapstick shopping comedy directed by Shinji Takamatsu, who also directed “Gintama,” and animated by Shin-Ei Animation, the studio behind “Doraemon” and “Crayon Shin-chan.” Following on from the memorable TV commercials with their catchy phrases and comical dance moves, the voice of “Shopping Panda” will be provided by Ikue Otani, who is known for her roles as Pikachu in “Pokémon” and Tony Tony Chopper in “One Piece.”
The broadcast and streaming information has now been revealed, along with a key visual featuring Shopping Panda and his unique friends, along with the shopping items that appear in the anime.
In each episode, a shopping item that arrives at the house triggers a hilarious incident or a major incident. Whatever happens, Shopping Panda (CV: Otani Ikue), Little Panda (CV: Neeko), Puchomaru (CV: Murase Ayumu), Mugi (CV: Kanzuki Yuria) and others can be seen enjoying themselves. Surrounded by a plethora of shopping items, expectations are high to see how Shopping Pandas will play out in the anime.
In addition, the latest 15-second commercial has arrived, where you can listen to the theme song “Are wa Oshomono Panda!” sung by Oshomono Panda (CV. Otani Ikue), which features a catchy melody and lyrics that make you want to sing along. Let’s listen to the cute theme song sung by Otani’s Oshomono Panda.
Furthermore, it has been decided that two carefully selected episodes of the series will be shown ahead of the TV broadcast at the Kineko International Film Festival, which will be held in Futako Tamagawa, Tokyo for six days from October 31st to November 5th. In addition, various events related to the series will be held, such as the food festival “Kushimbo Festival Presented by Rakuten” and “Rakuten GirlsAward 2024 AUTUMN/WINTER”.
