PJ Berri no Mogu Mogu Munya Munya starring PJ Berri previewed on August 18

Fuji TV announced on Friday that it will air a new series of anime shorts based on the PaRappa the Rapper video game franchise. The new anime is titled PJ Berri no Mogu Mogu Munya Munya , and it will center on the PJ Berri character. A pilot episode will premiere on the late-night variety program #Hi Poul on August 18, before becoming a regular segment of the program in October. Each episode will be about 96 seconds long.

The characters include:

Jun Oosuka as PJ Berri, a laid-back teddy bear who likes eating, sleeping, music, and doughnuts especially.



Yuuto Suzuki as PaRappa, PJ Berri's close friend. He is optimistic, skilled at rapping, and equipped with a wild imagination. He works part-time at the Chop Chop Fruites Cafe.



Yōji Ueda as Chop Chop Master Onion, a karate master from the east who formerly ran the Fruites Dojo, and now runs the Chop Chop Fruites Dojo as its owner/chef.





The anime celebrates both the 20th anniversary of the franchise as a whole, and the 15th anniversary since the 2001 television anime. Doga Kobo is credited for animation production.

The original PlayStation rhythm game by NanaOn-Sha shipped in 1996, and the series spawned two more games. Rodney Alan Greenblat designed the franchise's iconic characters. The game received a 30-episode television anime adaptation in 2001, which also aired on Fuji TV.
