Media Factory decided back in May what to do with the fall 2015 anime series Cocotama as they announced the first box set release for it in Japan. The distributor released that set on July 27th, 2016 that contained the first twenty episodes. It was priced at a low 4,800 yen which means a lot of content for the price, though more typical when aimed squarely at the kids market. Extras for the release include a reversible cover, clean opening,c lean closing, character introductions and the promos and commercials.
The second set was recently scheduled with episodes twenty through thirty-six of the series. Priced at 4,800 yen also, it’ll land on DVD as a box set collection on November 25th, 2016 and now Media Factory has brought out the first TV spot for it to remind folks to get their orders in. Extras for this set includes the dance lessons piece, the clean ending, character intros and other promotional pieces and commercials.
The series began airing in October 2015 with OLM Inc providing the animation for it. The show is directed by Norio Nitta based on the series composition by Michihiro Tsuchiya and character designs by Shinobu Ookawa.
Plot concept: Cocotama are tiny gods born from the thoughts and feelings of objects that people use with great care. The fact that Cocotama wear part of the egg they hatch out of as underwear is proof that they are still apprentices. The Cocotama use a mysterious magic, and they train hard to be of use to humans and to become full gods. They live inside human houses and stealthily move around to help humans find things they have lost, although they make many mistakes.
