While the studio is still busy with Oshi no Ko, that hasn’t stopped Doga Kobo from revealing a new visual and teaser for its original anime titled Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night.

These new teasers for the anime were shared via the Doga Kobo official website, and they give us a bit more of an idea about what to expect.

While Doga Kobo is perhaps best known for its adapted works, the studio has made several original titles over the past few years.

When it comes to anime studios, most fans will probably be familiar with the big ones like MAPPA, Bones, Wit Studio, and Ufotable. After all, these studios have made names for themselves through hit shonen works.

Meanwhile, Doga Kobo is a studio that not many fans may talk about as often, but it’s still a well-regarded animation house that has gained renown for its moe and romance titles.

Some of the studio’s popular works are Himouto! Umaru-chan, Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun, How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, and Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie, among others.

This season though, Doga Kobo has made waves in the anime scene thanks to its latest show, Oshi no Ko.

While it may not have been as talked about ahead of Spring 23, Oshi no Ko is now one of the season’s biggest titles.

These titles are all adapted from manga, though the studio has worked on original shows before, including anime like Plastic Memories and Tada Never Falls in Love.

Original Anime Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Revealed

The studio’s newest original anime is Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night, an upcoming TV series that’s made to celebrate the studio’s 50th anniversary.

While it may not seem like it, Doga Kobo is a long-running animation studio that was founded back in July 1973.

This anime’s new teaser isn’t a typical trailer, as it features live-action footage and ends with a showcase of the new key visual.

Because of this, we’ll have to wait a while before we find out what its story will be about.

What we do know is that the anime will be set in Shibuya, Tokyo. It will also follow two girls, though that’s the extent of what Doga Kobo has mentioned for now.

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night will be released sometime in 2024, and there’s no word yet on a release date window.
