It looks like Sentai’s exploring the magical world of a Sanrio character… not Aggretsuko.

Earlier today, Sentai Filmworks announced that they picked up the rights to Hello Kitty & Friends – Let’s Learn Together. The title will be the inaugural entry into the publisher’s new “Sentai Kids” brand, which was also revealed today.

No specific details are known as of press time, but Hello Kitty & Friends – Let’s Learn Together will be offered on home video and “select digital outlets.” The title will be offered in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Hello Kitty & Friends – Let’s Learn Together is a 2017 educational series from Sanrio, which ran for 21 episodes. Each installment of the short-form series had a seven-minute runtime.
