About Onipan!
Centuries of folktales have given the oni a bruised reputation, casting them as troublemakers. Onipan! flips that script by following three young oni who refuse to be defined by old legends. Tsutsuji is sunny and optimistic, Tsuyukusa moves with a cool, observant vibe, and Himawari is loud and full of energy. They arrive in a bustling world that blends ancient myths with a futuristic city, intent on showing humans and demons can share space and kindness. Rather than argue about belonging, they lean into friendship, humor, and a dash of improbable heroism to prove that differences can become strengths. Their secret gadget, powered underpants, sparks mischief and growth alike, guiding their adventures without spoiling small joys.
Created by Takashi Aoshima and Norihiro Naganuma, Onipan! is a 2022 animated series that blends comedy with sci fi fantasy. The voice cast features Yume Nozaki as Tsutsuji, Mika Negishi as Himawari, and Kokona Nonaka as Tsuyukusa.
Box office data does not apply to this television show. There was no theatrical release or worldwide gross to report, as Onipan! premiered on streaming or broadcast platforms in 2022.
Culturally the show is just starting to make noise beyond its core audience. Fans have praised the bright animation and playful humor and some early social media chatter riffs on the underpants powered heroes. It hints at a quirky new corner of folklore inspired comedy.
Reception so far includes a modest 5.7 out of 10 from 3 votes, reflecting a small but curious audience. The series explores themes of acceptance, interspecies friendship, and cooperation across differences. It leans on warmth, humor, and inventive world building to lampoon stereotypes while inviting viewers to rethink what counts as heroic.
