The Adventures of GIR & Friends

## Overview

The Adventures of GIR & Friends is a Japanese-American-French crossover series that is a spinoff of Invader Zim, and also counts as a spinoff of The Claire Show as well due to it taking place in the same universe as that show and GIR being a character in the latter show. The show premiered with a Japanese dub on TV Fuji in Japan on July 2 2022 and will be released in English and some other languages in America and some other countries on July 6. A new episode comes out on Fuji TV every Saturday at 5:30 AM. The concept of the show is about GIR and his group of friends as they go on adventures and also face random situations.

## Age Rating

Unlike Invader Zim and the Claire Show, it is targeted at a slightly younger audience, around Elementary school age, despite it having a character from an adult show (Chuck).

## Summary

GIR is a SIR who lives with Zim and he goes outside and plays with his two best friends, Louise and Iago, and sometimes other friends. From making chocolate soup to telling stories to seeing copycats of themselves, who knows what they'll do next?

## Layout

The episodes are 12 minutes long and are not cut into shorts and don't have commercial breaks in the middle.

## Trivia

* Gilbert Gottfried, the voice actor of Iago, died on April 12, 2022. His voice lines for Seasons 3 and 4 of the Claire Show and the first season of The Adventures of GIR & Friends have been recorded beforehand. Due to that, it is unknown who will voice him after Season 4 and this show (if it gets another season).
* It is unknown if this show will have another season.
* The Japanese 1st ending theme, "DREAMY☀️SUMMER", sounds similar to Marshmallow by Kera Kera, the 2nd ending theme of Line Town. Kera Kera themselves have done "Love Love everywhere", the 1st ending theme of Season 3 of the Claire Show.
* The Japanese 2nd ending theme, “GIR no Dance”, sounds similar to “Dance de Nyan” by Kiyomi Kumano, the 2nd Ending theme of Mighty Cat Masked Niyandar. The ending credits with the mascot costumes of the Adventures of GIR & Friends characters and their animated versions frolicking around resembles that of the ending credits of the latter show.
* The English dub ending theme is a shortened and instrumental version of Drama by TXT, a KPop boy group. The ending credits for the English dub also uses footage from both the 1st and 2nd Japanese ending credits, with the Japanese credits text edited out and replaced with the English credits text. This ending song was also used in the French and German dubs.
