Chi's Sweet Adventure Streamed by Amazon UK
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The opening episode of the CG series Chi's Sweet Adventure (Koneko no Chi Ponponra Daibōken) is being simulcast on Amazon Video here, with the first episode available as of writing.
The original manga Chi's Sweet Home centers around a kitten who gets lost after walking out into the real world for the first time. A boy named Yōhei Yamada discovers her, but the Yamada family's apartment building prohibits pets. After failing to find a new home, the Yamadas decide to defy the rules and raise Chi themselves. Most of Chi's coming-of-age stories revolve around the Yamadas or the cats, dogs, and the occasional rabbit that live in the neighborhood.
Konami launched the series in Morning in 2004, and she ended the manga in the magazine in June 2015. The manga inspired two television anime series in 2008 and 2009.
Kaori Kitamoto (who was credited for planning support in the original anime series) is serving as chief supervisor of the series at Marza Animation Planet, and Kiminori Kusano (Character VFX lead artist for Captain Harlock, name romanization not confirmed) is making his directorial debut with the series. Misuzu Chiba (Doraemon) is handling the series composition, and Kusano and Satoshi Kōnosu are designing the characters. Kenji Kondō (Polar Bear's Café) is composing the music.
