Robomaru (Anime)

Robomaru will become a action-adventure children's anime, based on Robomaru live action show (from Ishinomori Shotaro's show in the Fushigi Comedy Series) and will be produced by Studio Ghibli and TMS Entertainment/Tokyo Movie Shinsha Co, alongside Toei. It might first air in October 2023.

Plot
A lonely boy robot from Planet Manmaru was riding his UFO, when he crashes into a strange utopia on Earth, called Karinto New Town. His UFO is broken, so he cannot return to Planet Manmaru. But instead, he becomes a new member of the Unno family in their household. As Planet Manmaru's region (where Robomaru came from) was filled with major wars and endless violence, this made him sensitive to violence. So instead of combat, he uses funny superpowers and can form his face into various funny shapes, in order to fight monsters and resolve strange incidents in Karinto New Town.

Trivia
