Bananya is without a doubt one of the oddest anime series to have ever existed. Its premise is simple: a new species of tiny cats is found living inside bananas, and the anime follows their everyday lives. That’s it. Really. Yeah, it’s basically a slice of life fantasy comedy anime. Heck, the main character cat’s lifelong dream is to bathe in chocolate with his banana cat friends. That’s how you can tell this is not a serious anime in the slightest.

And yet, this anime is popular enough that it has not one, not two, but three seasons of it. At least, it will have three seasons when Bananya Around The World finally makes its debut. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out the short little official teaser below, and see for yourself if the bizarre cuteness is for you?

Bananya Around The World: Details

You can tell just by the thumb that this is going to be one odd anime.

Crunchyroll is proud to announce that they have acquired Bananya Around The World with that official teaser trailer on YouTube. This will be the third season of that anime by studio Lesprit when it makes its debut, featuring Yuki Kaji as Bananya and Ayumu Murase as Baby Sweet. Crunchyroll will make this anime available to stream globally, save for Asia, but with the exception of India for some reason.

As for when that will be? Well, Bananya Around The World will make its debut sometime in October 2024. Alas, you will need a paid subscription to watch this third season, since it is a Crunchyroll exclusive, after all. Fortunately, you can also watch all currently available seasons on Crunchyroll as well if you do get that paid subscription.

Bonus: Key Art and Synopsis

That’s not all, folks! Crunchyroll also has the official synopsis for Bananya Around The World to tease the admittedly bizarre story. You can check out that synopsis below:

Bananya returns! The mysterious cat who lives inside a banana is back for a new adventure when a ball of light appears. After the ball flashes, a new cat named Baby Sweet emerges. The two quickly become friends and set off on a grand adventure to discover new and exciting places around the world. Join the new friends on their journey!
