Saudi-Japanese Anime Future Folktales Returns After 4 Years

Get ready to put your watching goggles on because the sequel to "Future Folktales" is dropping this year! Manga Productions and Toei Animation just spilled the tea in Tokyo, revealing the scoop on season two, hitting screens four years after the OG premiere.

This anime serves up the saga of Grandma Asmaa, voiced by the iconic Masako Nozawa, spitting Arab folktales to her grandkids. With season one racking up over 100 million global views, which we here at KSA Moments find absolutely lit!

It's no surprise that Grandma Asmaa is such a win because Manga Productions and Toei Animation ain't new to this game; with both of them having cooked up hits like "The Woodcutter’s Treasure" in 2017 and "The Journey" in 2021. 

Oh, and that's not all! Toei Animation has joined forces with Qiddiya Investment Co. to bring the world's first Dragon Ball theme park to Saudi Arabia. Talk about leveling up!
