You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of fans of giant monsters and bigger battles and manga readers. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

This is the story that always appears in the dreams of Kokone, who eventually becomes a high school student. What is the secret hidden in the fairy tale that Kokoneheard as a young boy? And then, what is this secret entrusted to his father Momotaro's mind?
