Goma-chan Gets an Anime Makeover! Hey! Say! JUMP Takes the Mic

Honestly, another slice-of-life series about… a seal? *Sigh*. 'Shō 3 Ashibe QQ Goma-chan' is apparently getting its anime treatment, because apparently, we all need more fluffy creatures on our screens. Don't get me wrong, the idea of a cute seal causing mild chaos is… fine. Just don't expect me to be clutching my pearls over it.

However, I will begrudgingly admit that the addition of Hey! Say! JUMP for the theme song might be the only thing that elevates this beyond a simple children's program. Their music tends to have a certain… energy, I guess? It’s enough to make me curious, even if the premise itself is about as groundbreaking as a rainy Tuesday. The April 12th debut date is noted, though I'm already mentally preparing for the inevitable waves of saccharine sweetness.

And yes, a new promo video has been released, because that's what you do these days. It's probably full of Goma-chan waddling around and being generally 'cute'. While I won't be losing sleep over it, I suppose it's a small comfort knowing that some things in the anime world are… predictable. Just try not to inundate me with fan art.
