The anime "Gunmachan" is based on the mascot character of Gunma Prefecture. It began airing in October 2021, and the first season, consisting of 39 episodes, concluded in December. The series has gained attention overseas, and Crunchyroll recently started streaming the English dub version.
The first season was broadcast on television stations such as Tokyo MX, TV Kanagawa, TV Saitama, Chiba TV, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, Sun TV, and KBS Kyoto. Additionally, it has been announced that the series will be made available worldwide with English, French, and Chinese subtitles after the broadcast.

The second season continues to be produced at Ascension, with Mitsuru Hongo serving as director and scriptwriter. Hongo is known for works such as "Ascendance of a Bookworm," "Outlaw Star," "World Trigger," and "Deltora Quest." High-quality production is expected as a result.
The second season started broadcasting in April 2023, with the main cast and staff from the first season returning. Each 7-minute episode is broadcast in a format of three episodes per set, similar to the broadcast style of Japan's popular anime "Sazae-san."
