About Anpanman
Soreike Anpanman adapts Takashi Yanase with bread hero sharing face to hungry friends against Baikinman. The TV run from October 1988 spans over 1600 episodes on NTV to 2025 with TMS animation and new heroes yearly. Currypan, Shokupan and Dokinchan join with songs.
Thirty plus films arrive almost yearly from 1989 with longer rescues and guest stars. No end was set as of September 2026, so the run stands open as Japan's longest kids show. Each tale names its guest hero up front with a sharing lesson for toddlers.
Good to know
Watch in broadcast order since hero introductions and Baikinman traps build directly year to year. Any 20 minute tale fits a morning slot alone with one sharing moral and song. Films fit after their TV years with the same voices and longer plots. Treat the run as open while NTV orders more bread rescues yearly with new friends.
