I’ve got a challenge…

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
  • shipping arguments can cause a fandom war
  • tons of fan videos on YouTube
  • it is SUPER popular in Japan
  • very elusive creator

What am I thinking of?
