I am thinking of a series…Can you guess it? Here are some clues:
the cast is mostly male
main character is bright, energetic, and cheerful
there’s a ton of characters (some have only appeared once)
most of the characters seem human, but are not actually human
they live among humankind, but can never be human
hint hint: anthropomorphism
they’re also extremely old, but never age
they did experience WWII at some point…
not much of a story arc, mostly slice of life episodes (although there was a slight story arc at the beginning of the series, it kind of sidetracked)
stories are filled with little historical tidbits here and there
tons of Christmas and Halloween episodes/events for some reason
CHARACTER SONGS
has an English dub
has a theatrical movie that’s extremely wacky, even compared to the context of the original series, and leaves people (even fans) more confused than anything else
the fandom can agree that the animation has improved over the years
