Kadokawa recently announced that the duo will be part of the web anime adaptation of Pandania’s “Neko Mukashi Banashi,” a four-panel manga that reimagines classic folktales with a feline twist. This news comes as part of a series of exciting updates for the anime, which is set to debut on October 15.
In addition to the comedy duo, the anime will also feature guest voice actors from the idol group Snow Man and the boy band Junretsu. Daisuke Sakuma from Snow Man and Yūjirō Shirakawa from Junretsu will add their unique talents to the project, further enriching the cast.
The anime will premiere on October 15 at 8:00 p.m. JST on its official YouTube channel. New episodes will be released every Wednesday, ensuring that fans can enjoy fresh content regularly.
The main cast of the anime includes Kazumi Nonaka, who is directing the series at Studio Comet.

Ekoda-chan,” will be designing the characters.
The anime promises to be a delightful blend of humor and nostalgia, as it takes beloved children’s stories from around the world and asks, “What if a cat appeared in this story?” The series will explore this whimsical question through a mix of cute comedy and engaging storytelling.
Kadokawa has published three volumes of the manga so far: “Neko Mukashi Banashi,” “Nyanto! Neko Mukashi Banashi,” and “Mikke! Neko Mukashi Banashi.” The fourth volume, “Yo!
