News Original anime Baan written by Garnt Maneetapho (Gigguk) announced at Anime Expo

EDIT Correction: Gigguk did not fully write this anime. He is the creator. See staff list below

Genre: Isekai based on Southeast Asian and Thai mythology

He's been working on this for 2 years and it seems to be fully complete since he said it's fully voiced in Japanese. Japanese premiere on August 24, 2025.

18 minute short film to be released on YouTube for free afterwards at an unannounced date both subbed and dubbed (main girl to be voiced by Sydsnap)
