My Melody & Kuromi is an upcoming Japanese Netflix Original stop-motion animated series directed by Tomoki Misato and written by Shuko Nemoto. The screenwriter shared her thoughts on working on the series:

“Having My Melody and Kuromi speak lines I wrote felt like a reward for me as a writer. Because of the pandemic, I couldn’t meet with Director Misato or the producers in person. But we connected remotely each week, carefully building this together. The project is filled with love for the world of My Melody, beloved by people of all ages. I believe everyone, from adults to children, will have favorite scenes and lines.”
