Voice actor: Ikue Otani comment

I sang a song in a commercial as “Okaimono Panda” and was involved for many years.
Is that now going to be made into an anime? ! You talk a lot, right?
surely. We have known each other for a long time, and although we may talk a little, most of the time we have expressed ourselves through songs, so I am very happy to be able to meet the new “Shopping Panda” in a new way.
What will it be like?
I'm also excited to see what kind of daily life and what kind of story will unfold!
I hope everyone is looking forward to the “Shopping Panda'' anime.

Comment from director Shinji Takamatsu

I was surprised to be making an animation about the “Shopping Pandas”, people I've been familiar with for a long time and who also love using LINE stamps.
Now, I was thinking about what kind of anime I should make, and since it was definitely “Shopping Panda,'' it would be about “Shopping Panda,'' who loves shopping, and his best friend, “Little Panda,'' who buy all kinds of things every time and cause incidents. I wanted to make it a fun anime.
Please join us in experiencing the new adventures of the “Shopping Pandas” who have jumped into the world of anime.
