Asahi Broadcasting's Mascot Gets Anime
By Epic Dope Staff | November 11, 2020
A TV channel mascot getting an anime is simply astounding. It's surprising how a mere mascot has enough fan-following to inspire an anime.
Asahi Broadcasting Corporation announced that an anime, based on its mascot ABCiee, called Abciee Study Diary will debut in Jan 2021.
Aoi Yuki, who plays Tamaki in Fire Force, will voice the new mascot based anime. Ryosuke Aoike is in charge of the anime’s direction.
The director commented that he was a little confused at first about animating a pink, naked character with just six hairs.
The ABC TV & ABC animation group teamed up to produce the anime & create a new family for the mascot.
ABCiee is an unidentified monster who was attracted to the ABC Osaka headquarters due to the radio waves.
