About Stitch!

Meet Stitch! (スティッチ！), an adventure, comedy and sci-fi anime by MADHOUSE (2008). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: A spin-off series of Disney's Lilo & Stitch. In the new story, the alien creature Stitch is running off on the mad scientist Jumba's space scooter when he gets caught in a space storm and has to make an emergency landing at Izayoi Island, the southermost tip of Japan.

Along the way, there, he crosses paths with Yuuna, a spirited fourth-grade girl who happens to know karate. Yuuna tells Stitch about the Stone of Chitama, an unexplained object that can make any wish come true. However, he has to perform 43 good deeds to receive his wish.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Yuuna (Motoko Kumai) and Stitch (Kouichi Yamadera) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by MADHOUSE, so the studio's house style defines how Stitch! looks and moves on screen. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 5.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Motoko Kumai voicing Yuuna gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2008, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
