'Otoppe' TV Anime Gets Movie For Fall 2021

The Otoppe (オトッペ) TV anime series will get a musical movie entitled Gekijо̄ban Otoppe: Papa Don’t Cry (劇場版オトッペ　パパ・ドント・クライ), which is scheduled to be released in Japanese theaters this fall. 

Papa Don’t Cry’s plot centers around the Otoppe Windy becoming a “dad” by raising an Otoppe named Lilu who looks just like him.


An official trailer is currently streaming on YouTube:




The movie’s plot reminds me of the Doraemon movies that have Nobita raising an animal/creature, such as the tree creature Kibou in Eiga Doraemon: Nobita to Midori no Kyojinden (映画 ドラえもん のび太と緑の巨人伝). I'm not really a fan of musical movies, but hopefully the Otoppe movie will win me over. I’m guessing NHK E will eventually air it in either 2022 or 2023.

Ojarumaru 24th Series Episode 11 Review

Image
  Aenai Ojarumaru (会えないおじゃる丸 "Ojarumaru Can't Meet") is about the Little Oni Trio confronting Ojarumaru once again, only to find him just staring blankly. Denbo explains to them that the Full Moon Road, which connects Moonlight Town and the Heian era, is being inspected, meaning that Ojarumaru can't go back home to see his parents. Thinking that Ojarumaru is sad, the oni try to cheer him up. In the end, it turns out that Ojarumaru wasn't sad at all. He was just staring blankly for no particular reason. He uses the scepter to scratch his back, and then the oni seem both shocked and annoyed because of all the time that they wasted.  During the episode, the Little Oni Trio goes to an onsen called "Oni Mountain Onsen" and comes back with some souvenirs. I wonder what the Onsen Manjuu and Oni Mountain Tea taste like.  In one scene, Kisuke draws a really good portrait of Ojarumaru. Supposedly, he has many hidden talents throughout the show and drawing seems t...

Ojarumaru 24th Series Episode 10 Review

Image
I'm starting off with this particular Ojarumaru episode because, as of this writing, it's the most recently aired episode. I might go back and review the previous 24th series episodes some other time.  Anyway, Kisuke no Hatsukoi  (キスケの初恋 “Kisuke’s First Love”) is about Kisuke having a crush on a little girl after accidentally bumping into her on his way home from grocery shopping. His siblings Akane and Aobei, Ojarumaru, and Denbo find out about this and spy on them.  I find the little girl cute because of her design and voice (though she is only heard laughing and gasping). I like how during the scene when Kisuke and the girl bumped into each other, she seemingly doesn't mind the fact that Kisuke accidentally broke her hair accessory and is more interested in the fact that a carrot landed on his horn.  My favorite scene is when Aobei and Akane imagine Kisuke and the girl marrying each other. I find it pretty cool seeing cameos of various characters, such as Asako, ...
