The Kusakabes

The Kusakabes is a Japanese-American-British traditionally animated children's slice-of-life series, produced by Satsuki Film Company and premiered on August 7, 2017.

Production
Rumor has it that during the production of Pokémon Strange Journeys: Mystery of the Missing Kid, a crossover with My Neighbor Totoro, 1happycats Productions and Satsuki Film Company gained interest in the characters from that film, which led them to create this show.

Home media
Prior to the show's premiere in August 2017, a promotional DVD containing the first three episodes was released in June of that year. This could be obtained by sending an envelope containing a token (which has been included in an advertisement featured in various magazines at the time) and a 50¢ coin to Satsuki Film Company.

In March 2018, the first season was released in four volumes by the then-new Satsuki Video Company. The second and third season followed later. Complete season box sets were also released.
