A hospital comedy featuring animated burial-mound characters will lead THE FROGMAN SHOW EVOLUTION when the project launches in November. TSK, DLE and a third production partner announced the joint production on October 23, with television broadcasts in Shimane and Tottori and online distribution beyond the two prefectures.
The terrestrial slot is listed as Saturday 25:15 to 25:20, beginning with the November 7 broadcast date. In ordinary clock notation, that first slot falls at 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, November 8. Keeping both forms avoids a familiar late-night television pitfall: the programme belongs to Saturday’s schedule but airs after midnight.
The opening short revisits characters from a 2006 cemetery-school comedy, now placed in a hospital’s emergency setting. The announcement describes a hybrid of Flash animation and AI, with FROGMAN directing and writing and DLE handling animation production. This is a revival tied to the earlier work’s twentieth anniversary.
TVer, FOD, U-NEXT and Niconico are listed as distribution outlets. The release says streaming will make the programme available nationally; it does not specify an identical start time for every service or promise viewing from outside Japan. Viewers should check the individual platforms for the applicable schedule and access conditions.
