According to Anime News Network, there will be another Tamagotchi television anime series to premiere in Japan in October. This isn’t the first time that the Tamagotchi franchise has its own television series.
Bandai has been streaming Saikō! Tamagotchi in seven different languages via YouTube since December. Saikō! Tamagotchi originally aired in Japan in 2007 to 2008.
Here’s what else ANN wrote:
According to the sheet, the new television anime series will simply be called Tamagotchi. It will premiere at the beginning of October, but the timeslot has not been determined. Each episode will have two 15-minute, self-contained stories. The stories will follow the daily lives of the Tamagotchi and feature new characters and settings. Various new toys aimed at girls are slated to also appear in October, followed by a new software for the Nintendo DS game console in November. That same month, the Japanese McDonald’s fast-food restaurant chain will offer Tamagotchi Happy Sets, which are the equivalent of Happy Meals in North America.
Looks like the Tamagotchi franchise is trying to make a comeback. How far will the franchise go this time?
