This epic new show celebrates My Melody's 50th and Kuromi's 20th anniversaries. To kick things off, official channels have unveiled a super-early sneak peek visual and a promo video, giving fans a taste of the anniversary festivities.

This stop-motion masterpiece is helmed by none other than Tomoki Misato, the visionary director behind the viral sensation "PUI PUI Molcar."
