Pop Pap Polters Stop-Motion Shorts’ Trailer Unveils Cast, More Staff, October 4 Debut – News

The official website for the Pop Pap Polters, a series of miniature stop-motion anime shorts by director Mozu and MOZU STUDIOS, presented the project’s full trailer and key visual on Thursday. The trailer announces the anime’s cast, additional staff members, and October 4 premiere.

The anime combines miniatures and stop-motion animation to depict the bustling daily life of three ghost siblings living in a room of a (human) homeowner.

Atsumi Tanezaki voices the three ghost siblings Pop (youngest), Pap, and Polter (oldest), while Junya Enoki voices the homeowner. (The live-action “actor” of the homeowner is director Mozu.)

In addition to directing, Mozu produced the miniatures, and is also writing the scripts with Yuuka. Yuuka is serving as art director and character designer as well. Mascot character designer Hiroshi Yoshii (Ghost Hunt ending sequence’s 3D CG ghost production, Yans! Gans! character designer) handled the ghosts’ character 3D modeling, and Yūta Negishi handled the photography. Noriyoshi Konuma is directing the sound, and Scat Gotō is composing the music.

As previously announced, MOZU STUDIOS is credited for the original work and animation production. Shin-Ei Animation is credited for planning and production.

The anime will premiere within TV Asahi‘s “PicoAniTime” programming block on October 4 at 10:00 a.m. (October 3 at 9:00 p.m. EDT).
