The clip I found on Youtube had embedding disabled so click on the festive Ojarumaru above to link there.
And another highly popular, ignored by the English speaking world, directed by Akitaro Daichi, kids show. In fact it took the recent tragic suicide of it's creator Rin Inumaru for it appear on western fandom's radar. And then promptly drop off again.
So what's it all about?
Ojarumaru is a selfish boy from the Heian era who finds himself transported into the future to the modern day via the use of the king of the demon's stick. He moves in with that old adage – the typical Japanese family – and hilarity ensues.
Here's a sweet English summary of the shows appeal from a Japanese fan.
Daichi won a Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence in Animation award in 1999 for the show.
It, of course, remains untranslated into English.
