Produced by Toei Animation and directed by Kazumi Fukushima after the manga series by Muroyama Mayumi, this anime follows Asari, a normal fourth-grade girl. One day, while bargain shopping, she wins the lucky ticket at a lottery for a one-person trip to Hawaii. Chaos reigns as her family, the Beach's, fight over who should go. The ticket is lost in a bonfire, ironically. Other circumstances follow when the family finds out that the travel agency offered to "give the equal amount of half the travel expenses in cash for the ticket" from an employee of the supermarket Asahi had shopped at. What will happen to the unlucky Beach family as more elements of despair pelt them?

Where it came from
Asari-chan debuted as a television series in 1982, produced by Toei Animation based on the long-running manga series by Mayumi Muroyama. The show centers on the daily lives and sibling rivalry between two sisters, Asari and Tatami, blending slapstick humor with the domestic trials of life in a suburban Japanese household. It arrived during a prolific era for Toei, capturing the popular appeal of gag-comedy manga in an animated format for younger television audiences.
The character designs were crafted to preserve the distinct, expressive aesthetic of Muroyama's original artwork, emphasizing dynamic facial expressions and exaggerated reactions to suit the series' comedic tone. As a staple of early 1980s weekday television, the series was received as a quintessential slice-of-life comedy, praised for its relatable depiction of sisterly discord and its enduring visual style that remains a nostalgic touchstone for viewers of that generation.
