Tamagotchi: Adventures of the Rainbow Princesses

Tamagotchi: Adventures of the Rainbow Princesses, also known in Japan as Tamagotchi Gaiden: Niji Hime-tachi no Bouken (たまごっち外伝: 虹姫たちの冒険), is a spin-off of the Tamagotchi! anime produced by Sunrise that premiered on September 26, 2020, on TV Asahi. An English dub, produced by Cartoon Network Studios, airs on Cartoon Network (with it's pilot episode also airing on The CW, as with most Tamagotchi dub premieres). It is the third spin-off of the Tamagotchi! anime, after Spacies! and Tamagotchi!: Lovelin☆Revolution.

New episodes air on Cartoon Network every Saturday at 7 AM EST with specials airing on Sundays at 5 PM. As with other Tamagotchi animated content, it was available to stream on Netflix until April 21, 2022, when the series made the move to Tubi, following a dispute between Bandai and Netflix.

==Trivia==
*Currently, this is the only Tamagotchi series unavailable on Netflix. However, while it isn't on there, it can still be streamed on Tubi TV, a streaming service owned by Fox Corporation. Warner Bros. Discovery (known at that time as WarnerMedia) planned to add the series on to HBO Max, but it never came into fruition.
*It is the first ever Tamagotchi series where all of its episodes are TV-PG in The United States.
*In Japan, there exists a Happy Meal set based on the series along with Spacies!. Unlike traditional sets of two Happy Meal sets, children can select which series they can have.
* During early development, there was originally eight princesses, with a pink-haired princess intended to be younger than Kurotchi (around the age of 12) being the youngest member. However, this was scrapped very early on, due to the princesses being based on the seven colors of the rainbow with their names being based on shades.
**Since then, there are theories that Nijikasatchi is secretly the eighth princess in a new artificial form. However, this theory has been proven false by Bandai and Cartoon Network, due to Nijikasatchi's gender being male.
* This is the second piece of Tamagotchi media to use the “Tamagotchi Gaiden” moniker in its Japanese title, following Tamagotchi: Azure Story, and the first spinoff to use it.
==Home Media ==
The series first saw its DVD releases in North America on August 24, 2021 by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (through 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment) and Viz Media, with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releasing it internationally. Regardless of region, all releases contain a "As Seen on Cartoon Network" identifier with DVDs containing select episodes coming out afterwards.
