Where it came from
Poco's Udon World, known in Japan as Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari, debuted as a television anime series in 2016. Adapted from the manga by Nodoka Shinomaru, the story follows a web designer who returns to his family's rural udon shop in Kagawa Prefecture after his father's passing, only to discover a human-like tanuki disguised as a young boy named Poco. The series was produced by studio LIDENFILMS and directed by Seiki Takuno, aiming to capture the serene, emotional atmosphere of the original manga while highlighting the cultural and scenic beauty of the Kagawa region.
The character design and visual direction emphasize a gentle, slice-of-life aesthetic meant to evoke nostalgia and quiet contemplation. By focusing on the bond between the protagonist and Poco, the series was received as a heartwarming exploration of grief, adulthood, and the importance of heritage. Critics often praised the show for its soothing pacing and its role in promoting local tourism in Kagawa, which is famously known as the 'Udon Prefecture' of Japan.
