Overview
Pan Dorobou, meaning Bread Thief, is a comedy anime adapted from Keiko Shibata's picture book series, produced by Shin-Ei Animation. Kadokawa announced the anime project on 9/6/2025. It began airing on 2/10/2026.
OtaHub's take
The picture books center on a piece of bread that also steals bread from the bakeries of the city. Takahiko Kyougoku directs with Chie Yamashiro as assistant director, Mariko Mochizuki handles series composition, Mako Miyako designs the characters, and Junichi Suwabe performs the opening theme.
Verdict
It suits viewers who like gentle, family-friendly comedy, and anyone who knows the original picture books. With no earlier season, newcomers can start from episode one. Its simple pacing makes it easy to watch with family on a weekend.
