Kazushige Yusa (Midnight Crazy Trail) is directing the series at Monsters Egg. The company Kuon is credited with the original work.
The anime centers on a moAi statue named Mowai-kun who is gloomy every day because it lives a dull life where it just watches the beach and the sun from atop a hill on an island. But one day Mowai-kun grows arms, and starts to dance.
The anime replace the I'm From Japan anime, which began airing in that "Kyara Suta" programming corner on April 8.
