My Melody to Kuromi

You can experience the texture and warmth of handcrafted animation in My Melody & Kuromi, a stop‑motion Sanrio series on Netflix that honors My Melody’s 50th anniversary and Kuromi’s 20th anniversary. Under director Tomoki Misato’s creativity and writer Shuko Nemoto’s heartfelt script, TORUKU Studio molds Mariland using wool, magnets, and miniatures. This 2025 Sanrio animation thrives on tactile details and emotional nuance. The Netflix kawaii series gains extra charm with LE SSERAFIM’s “Kawaii” theme, produced by Gen Hoshino. It stands out among recent Sanrio offerings with its artisanal design and genuine sweetness.
