Synopsis

A diminutive pink creature orbiting in space named â€œKirbyâ€ crash lands into Dream Land.

The original creator of the franchise, Masahiro Sakurai, was in charge of supervising the anime, with planning and production beginning around 2000, coinciding with the development of Super Smash Bros.

I think that spirit has been carried over to the anime as well." He became friends with the cast and staff, and they held a birthday party for him when the day of voice recording for the final episodes happened to coincide with it.

Director SÅji Yoshikawa spoke about the challenges faced by the anime's creators, expressing concern that most anime adaptations of video games did not work well, but felt that it could be successful.

He added that it was difficult to have a main character who did not speak, as well as creating unique settings and characters.

Kirby was unusual because it had no humans in the cast, and he likened it to the Finnish anime Moomins, which was popular in Japan.

Initially, the anime' background music was original music composed by Akira Miyagawa.
