Content 1: Unexpected anthropomorphization? Characters Transform into Handsome Men
No one expected the "Tama Friends" to be anthropomorphized, right? It's refreshing to see all the cute dogs and cats transformed into handsome, handsome men and beautiful girls. They're all very cute and cool, but they also have ears and tails. When they're with their owners, they retain their original dog and cat forms, but when they go outside to play with others, they transform into human forms. As a result, their owners seem unaware that the Tamas have taken on human forms.
Content 2: Currently serialized on Pixiv Comics
In fact, the "Tama & Friends" anthropomorphization project itself was announced about a year ago. Even before that, there had been developments such as an anime adaptation of "Tama & Friends" and a collaboration cafe, but many fans were surprised by the unexpected anthropomorphization. "Uchitama?!" is currently being serialized on Pixiv Comics. I highly recommend it, as you can see the heartwarming atmosphere of the characters! The illustrations are also very cute, so if you can't wait for the anime adaptation, be sure to check it out.

Which voice actors will be appearing?
First of all, the voice actors appearing in the film are Saito Soma, who will play the lead role of Tama. He's also featured in the popular "Hypnosis Mic," and many fans are sure to enjoy him. Other popular voice actors appearing in the film include Ono Kensho as Pochi and Kaji Yuki as Nora. It's exciting to see such handsome voice actors playing these cute personified characters!
Content 4: The Character Relationships Are Fun!
"Tama & Friends" is a heartwarming story that depicts the daily lives of the adorable dogs and cats living on Third Street. This remains the same even in the human form of "Uchitama?!", where they all get along well. They're all very close, and it's so much fun to watch their relationships.
Tama's best friend is Pochi
The main character, Okamoto Tama, is a mischievous boy with a strong sense of curiosity. However, his curiosity is so intense that he tends to wander off and get lost easily. For this reason, his owner, Takashi-kun, puts up a sign asking, "Do you know my Tama?" He's known for his cute curled tail. On the other hand, Yamada Pochi, a white dog, suffers from severe anxiety. While these two may seem like polar opposites at first glance, they're actually very close friends!
Tora and Pochi have a funny, blunt-spoken relationship
Kiso Tora is a tabby cat. He's a silly, cheerful character who loves to climb high places, but sometimes gets stuck. He's mischievous and adorable, isn't he? Apparently, he and the dog Pochi have a funny, blunt-spoken relationship, but what kind of dialogue will we see? It's exciting.
Koma Admire Nora
Koma is like everyone's little sister. She's cheerful and innocent, and everyone loves her. But she secretly admires the stray cat Nora. Nora is always intelligent and cool, but also a kind boy who cares for his friends. One day, in a story serialized on Pixiv Comics, Koma admires Nora. "I want to be like Nora!" Koma is determined, believing that Nora is cool even when she's not around everyone. In the end, we learn that Nora is always cool and kind.
