Go! Anpanman: Kokin-chan and the Blue Tears

About This Movie

So, 'Go! Anpanman: Kokin-chan and the Blue Tears' is quite a quirky piece in the Anpanman franchise. You’ve got this whimsical atmosphere that’s really typical for the series, but Kokin-chan? She’s a whole other ball game. Her ability to fake cry is both amusing and a bit unsettling, which adds a unique layer to the usual themes of friendship and kindness. The pacing is light, almost dreamlike, making it an easy watch. There’s this sort of playful chaos that she brings, and you can’t help but feel for the other characters who are swept up in her antics. The animation style is consistent with the series, but there’s a vividness to Kokin-chan’s tears that kind of stands out. It’s a solid exploration of how innocence can create mayhem.

This film is part of a long-running series that has a certain niche appeal, especially among collectors of Japanese animation. The different formats released over the years have created a bit of scarcity, particularly for earlier editions. While not the most mainstream title, it garners interest from those who appreciate the unique charm and eccentricities of the Anpanman universe.
