'First season' to have 20 7-minute long episodes

Media news website Nerdist reported on Tuesday that the new kids anime Dino Girl Gauko ( Kyōryū Shōjo Gauko ) will premiere on Netflix on November 22. The "first season" will have 20 episodes that are seven-minute long each. The website also posted several visuals from the anime.

Akira Shigino ( Osomatsu-kun , Nanako SOS , Crayon Shin-chan movies 17 and 18) is directing the anime at Ascension . Kimiko Ueno ( Crayon Shin-chan ) is writing the anime.

Variety describes the anime:

The comedy series is set in Japan and follows Naoko Watanabe, a typical tween girl aside from the fact that she possesses strange and sometimes troubling powers. When her anger exceeds a maximum level, she turns into Gauko, the fire-breathing dinosaur girl.

The first episode, "Dad's Little Secret" ("Otōsan no Himitsu"), competed in the TV Films category of this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June.
