[Snack Bar Buse] Creator, Production Staff, and Cast Summary
Here's a summary of the creator, production staff, and cast of the anime "Snack Bar Buse," which will begin airing in January 2024! The original work is a wild and lawless zone, filled with vulgar jokes, parodies, and surreal material. Some of the material makes you wonder, "Are they really going to do this in an anime? Or is it even okay?" I'm really looking forward to seeing how these jokes are dubbed! Also, since the production company behind it specializes in short anime, I think the time slot will probably be around 15 or 5 minutes!
