 The Di Gi Charat Totsuzen no Dai News Tokuban livestream event announced a mini anime series for the franchise on Saturday.

Bushiroad also opened an official website, revealing the main staff and a key visual (pictured above).

| Finally! Di Gi Charat was my doorway to anime. I can't wait to see all the characters with fresh looks |
 |
| This may not be very good due to it's premise (Reiwa era otaku culture), being impacted by everything from the pandemic to stagnation of most of the mediums that make this culture, particularly games, anime, manga, and especially LNs. It just wouldn't be as interesting as if this was aired in 2019 or earlier. |
 |
| Now that's a blast from the past. It never appealed to me, but I hope fans are happy. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| well considering i've been meaning to watch the original w/in the past month, i guess i better get on it now |
  |
| FUCK YEAH!!!!!!! I'M EXCITED!!!! |
 |
| Oh my goooood!!! And they even bring back the original director. I don't even watch seasonal anime anymore but I'll follow this every week when it comes out. |

 |
| @RobertBobert, Yes, the first adaptation came out in 1999. With 2006's Winter Garden being the last entry before this annoucement. |
 |
| OH MY GOSH. I'M SO EXCITED! It's like the world is telling me, "Yes, you SHOULD vinyl your car with Rabi~en~Rose"! Di Gi Charat is super important to me in many ways, so I'm super happy that they'll be doing something for the anniversary. |
