Odekake Kozame 2nd Season

Picture a tiny, cartoonish shark waddling around on errands through a quiet Japanese town. That's the whole premise of Odekake Kozame, and honestly, that's all it needs to be. This second season picks up right where the first left off — Kozame-chan waddles through the nostalgic seaside town of Yauo, bumping into familiar faces like Big Brother Salaryman and Mr. Bartender, doing things like eating chilled pineapple and checking out local summer festivals. Each episode is about a minute long, so you can watch the entire thing in one sitting without even trying. The animation is deliberately simple and soft, almost like a picture book come to life, and it leans hard into that cozy, low-stakes energy where the biggest conflict is deciding what snack to try next. If you liked the gentle vibes of Shirokuma Cafe or the bite-sized charm of Bananya, this hits a very similar sweet spot — just swap the polar bear or the cat-banana for a little shark in a town full of friendly humans. It's the kind of thing you put on after a rough day when you don't want plot twists or emotional damage, just a small shark having a nice time. Studio ENGI handles the second season, adapting from the original manga. No release date confirmed yet beyond 2026, but if the first season clicked for you, this is more of exactly that warmth.
