After 15 years, a new animation is coming! The TV anime adaptation of “Gag Manga Biyori GO” will meet the audience again in April 2025!

Looking back, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although today’s theme is not about nostalgia, the years spent watching “Gag Manga Biyori” will always remain in memory; at that time, “Journey to the West”, “Detective Rabbit Mei”, and “Tutor” have all become classics. Let’s first review some fragments. However, today’s focus is far beyond this, as the TV anime adaptation of “Gag Manga Biyori GO” will once again meet the audience in April 2025.

This production team, including the director, staff, and voice actors, will reunite to bring the audience a grand return. (Celebration)

“Gag Manga Biyori” is a comedic work that many people used to follow online. Originally, it debuted in manga format, with its name already revealing the theme (humor). It started serialization in the early 2000s in “Monthly Shōnen Jump”, and later moved to “Jump SQ”, continuing to update under the title “Gag Manga Biyori GB” to this day.

Previously, four animated adaptations have been released, so 2025 will mark the fifth adaptation of this work. Such a development history is truly unexpected (sweat).

Nowadays, we might use the term “meme” to describe the influence that “Gag Manga Biyori” had on us, as many scenes have become classic moments later on. For example, the scene where Tang Seng tells everyone “Think about what Bajie said before he died” in “Journey to the West”, as well as the moment when Tang Seng’s head device transforms into an antenna and he frankly says “envy, jealousy, hatred,” have become classic quotes. Furthermore, in “Detective Rabbit Mei”, Xiong Ji refers to himself as “a gentleman named pervert,” which might also be one of the sources for the phrase “gentleman = pervert” later on.

Regarding the fifth season of “Gag Manga Biyori” new animation, since its announcement, the official Twitter has become more active. Before the animation premieres, exhibitions will be held in both Tokyo and Osaka. Specifically, from January 10 to January 26, it will take place at Tokyo’s Yurakucho Marui, and then the exhibition will move to Osaka’s Abeno Harukas, running from February 27 to March 9.

After the visit, tourists can also climb the high building to overlook the scenery. Don’t forget, “Abeno Harukas” is the tallest building in Japan, and on the sixtieth floor in the “Tenku no Kairo”, you can enjoy a 360-degree glass viewing environment, taking in the beautiful sights of Osaka city.

In addition, there is an upcoming event — Xiongji will make an appearance at “JUMP Carnival 2025”. Besides promoting the animation, “Bear Beware” stickers will be distributed on site. Considering Japan’s recent sensitivity towards bears, the appearance of this character seems quite controversial and might even attract the attention of the police (sweat).

The animation will premiere in April next year, so don’t miss it. For fans of this work, it will surely bring plenty of joy.
