A comedy manga, "Shōnen Ashibe," that follows the friendship between baby spotted seal Goma-chan and first-grade student Ashiya Ashibe. First serialized in 1988 and adapted to anime in 1991, the adorable Goma-chan created a massive following and a spotted seal boom. This spring, Goma-chan returns to "Tentere Anime." A cute, pleasant story of Ashibe and Goma-chan and their unusual school and their neighbors. Sometimes endearing, sometimes bizarre, it's a fun anime for the whole family!

Sonar Pocket will perform the opening theme song, and Yuka Ozaki will perform the ending theme song. The returning cast includes Rie Kawamura as Ashibe and Nao Tōyama as Goma-chan.
The anime adapts Hiromi Morishita's original Shōnen Ashibe manga. The first new anime season premiered in April 2016, and the second season premiered in April 2017. The third season premiered in April 2018. Crunchyroll streamed all three seasons as they aired in Japan.
