Anpanman is known as a popular anime series that has been on the air since 1988 and is still airing today, and a pilot was produced one year before its first airing. However, no images or other document of the pilot are online and only scant detail can be found.
If you do a search about the Anpanman pilot, you will find this video, but this is not the pilot. It was produced as part of a series of short anime films based on picture books called the Tanoshī Ohanashi Series (たのしいおはなしシリーズ), and has been properly released. Animation production is by Märchen-sha.
- Anpanman was sculpted differently from today, being taller and having a bigger face and being able to fly with Uncle Jam on his head.
- The pilot was not released because creator Takashi Yanase complained about Anpanman's modeling.
- The animation produced by Ajia-do Animation Works.
- Anpanman was voiced by Fushigi Yamada.
- It was once shown on the July 29, 2008 episode of the news program Sukkiri, when it featured Anpanman.
