Shounen Ashibe 2

Aired: 1992

The second season of the heartwarming TBS comedy anime adapted from Hiromi Morishita's popular manga. Returning audiences once again to the gentle elementary schooler Ashibe, the adorable spotted seal pup Goma-chan, his easygoing parents, and the colorful neighbors who fill their lives, the series faithfully animates additional fan-favorite episodes from the original comics. With Goma-chan's lovable antics and the laid-back charm of the Ashibe household, the show offers a soothing slice-of-life atmosphere meant to delight viewers of every generation. The opening theme Ai ni SUN Kyuu by Hikaru Kusaka and the playful ending Makasete! Chin-Ton-Shan '93 by the ACB Family Band lend airy musical accents, helping cement the franchise as a perennial family-friendly favorite of early-90s Japanese animation.
