About Bonobono

Bonobono (ぼのぼの) arrives as a comedy anime by Group TAC (1995), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: A sea otter and his friends, a raccoon and squirrel, live and play together in the forest.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kumiko Watanabe as Bonobono and Keiji Fujiwara as Araiguma.

It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 48 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
