A beautiful nation, prospering since ancient times, Japan is now known as the Anime Kingdom. There are more than just humans living there; animes truly do exist in Japan. Past the Fairy Ring, to the world of fairies, live anime-chans. There's a Fairy Ring in your town, too. Here. And there. Even in Harajuku. Maybe even in the Ashigara mountains. By some chance, we'll open that door. And we might get to meet the anime-chans. This is the land where you get to meet anime-chans.

The series of shorts featuring super-deformed characters premiered with the Anime-chan ni Kaeru Kuni television variety program on Japan's Tokyo MX1 channel. A 3D CG anime project adapting Oso-teki Kinoko Gijinka Zukan (oso's Kinoko Personification Pictorial Book), a picture book that imagines mushroom varieties as girls, was announced under the title Mori no Yousei Kinoko no Musume (Forest Fairies: Mushroom Girls) for a 2017 premiere. The cast introduced the project and its characters on Anime-chan ni Kaeru Kuni in October. (Source: ANN)
