Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures is an ongoing, 2020 animation series by Sanrio, freely available in their offical YouTube channel "Hello Kitty and Friends". It features Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Badtz-Maru, Kuromi, Keroppi, Chococat, Cinnamoroll, and Pochacco in a series of fun adventures in a hometown where they live next to each other. Chococat and Cinnamoroll were introduced to the series in Season 2, while Pochacco debuted in Season 4. Additional characters are added in each new season. The show is currently in its ninth season.
Throughout each episode, Kitty and company get into various situations that could pertain to the real-world. For example, in one episode, Kitty loses a special bow that she got from her mother (who is unseen), and in two others, she hosts a competition.
The show itself is known for having an animation style nearly identical to official Sanrio artwork and, uniquely, was originally made in English rather than Japanese, making it the first animated series created for the American audience.
