About Anpanman: Purun, the Soap Bubble

Looking for background on Anpanman: Purun, the Soap Bubble (Sore Ike! Anpanman: Shabondama no Purun)? This fantasy, comedy and kids series by unknown (2007) starts out like this. The premise: Anpanman's allies go see a bubble show performed by Shabondama-hime and her Shabondama Girls, who make exquisite bubbles by playing their flutes. One of the girls, Purun, can't make big bubbles no matter how much she rehearses.

Further in, she feels inadequate as she goes to retrieve her lost flute, which Creampanda finds and goes to return. Meanwhile Baikinman takes over Shabondama-hime's castle and steals the flutes, using their power to create evil bubbles, and Purun must realize her own importance and save the day with Anpanman's help.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. If you count yourself among fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds, put it on your list.
