■Detailed explanation and evaluation

"Korokoro Animal" is an animation that is loved by a wide range of age groups, from toddlers to children, with its unique visuals and simple story. Each episode is only one minute long, and by depicting animals having fun while rolling around, it naturally brings a smile to children's faces.

The biggest feature of this animation is the round and colorful design of the animals. Various animals, such as elephants, lions, cows, and pandas, are drawn in circles, and the simple contrast of colors makes the animals' movements as they roll around in nature soothing. Another appealing feature is that the animals' movements are smooth, making them look as if they are really rolling around.

Naomi Iwata's designs are simple yet very sophisticated. Her sense of color has the power to capture the hearts of children and give viewers a sense of security and joy. In particular, the scenes of animals rolling around in nature provide a visual treat, with a perfect match of beautiful colors and smooth movements.

"Korokoro Animal" is also excellent as an educational animation. Through the rolling of the animals, it not only teaches children the names and characteristics of animals, but also teaches them how to enjoy nature and the importance of coexisting with animals. The fact that each episode is only one minute long is a major strength of this animation.

The cast is also impressive, with talented voice actors such as Kitazawa Chikara, Kigawa Eriko, Yamazaki Yota, Hosoya Shunsuke, and Asano Kazuki taking part. Their voices bring out the cuteness of the animals and make them seem familiar to children. In particular, the way the animals' voices change in sync with their rolling movements is an element that draws children's interest.

"Korokoro Animal" has continued to be loved by many fans even after it was first broadcast in 2007. In particular, the production of a sequel, "Korokoro Animal 2," shows the high praise and support from viewers. The sequel introduces new animals and develops an even more entertaining storyline, making it a work that fans cannot miss.
