The character line is inspiring a television anime that premiered on Fuji TV‘s “Nonstop” programming block on April 3, and is currently ongoing. Aside from Kamishiraishi, the anime’s cast includes Atsumi Tanezaki as Ran and hiccorohee as Cathy.
The character line’s name is a play on the Japanese word “bosa bosa,” which means both dishevelled hair, and to while away the time. The characters are animals who live the way they are. The anime will focus on the everyday life of bunny Sakura, the cat Cathy, and the hamster Ran. Sanrio debuted the character line in 2021.
Isamu Ueno (PRECARIOUS WOMAN EXECUTIVE MISS BLACK GENERAL, I’m From Japan, Mrs. Warabi) is directing the anime at maroyaka and soket, in collaboration with ODDJOB Inc. Hiromu Kumamoto, Aya Satsuki, and Chihiro Amano are penning the scripts.
