TV Asahi announced a new kids anime 'Kaidan Restaurant (Thriller Restaurant)' based on a picture book. Each episode will consist of three stories or 'dishes': the appetizer, the main dish, and dessert. The first two 'dishes' will deal with an ordinary sixth-grade schoolgirl named Ako Ozara and the bizarre occurrences that befall her classmates. The third 'dish' will be a standalone short ghost story told by Ako and her friends.
