A new wave of character design previews for the upcoming Bikkuri-men anime has arrived, providing a look at Alibaba, Ippontsuri, and Shokoshi.
Bikkuri-men is the latest anime inspired by Lotte’s Bikkuriman snack stickers and features Shaman King creator Hiroyuki Takei as its original character designer. The show is set to premiere this fall.
Bikkuri-men will have a “completely new original story” that sees Yamato and Phoenix being reincarnated in the modern era. Earlier Bikkuriman anime include Bikkuriman, Shin Bikkuriman, Super Bikkuriman, Bikkuriman 2000, and Happy Lucky Bikkuriman. The first Bikkuriman aired in the late 80s while Happy Lucky Bikkuriman aired from 2006 to 2007.
The new anime’s staff includes Tomohiro Tsukimisato (Ueno-san wa Bukiyou) as director, Yuniko Ayana (BanG Dream!, Given) as series composer, and Ayano Oowada (Ueno-san wa Bukiyou) as character designer. Shin-Ei Animation is the animation production company.
