by To commemorate the 25th anniversary of “Hamtaro,” a representative anime of the Heisei era, ABEMA will offer free distribution of 296 episodes of the TV series and four movies.
“Hamtaro” is a popular series that depicts the daily life of Hamtaro, a hamster who understands human feelings, which began broadcasting on TV in July 2000 and caused an instant boom. Hamtaro, who loves his owner Loco-chan and is very curious, and his hamster friends ” Ham-chans,” who gather around Hamtaro, adventure to various places and get into a lot of chaos.
The heartwarming story, which is full of dreams, laughter, and tears, became popular, and in addition to the TV series, movies and OVAs were also produced. The catchy songs that stick in your mind, such as “Hamtaro Tottokota” and “200% no Jumong,” and the “ham language” used by the “Ham-chans,” such as “Heke,” were also very popular among children at the time.
