TV Asahi has announced a new children's anime, "Kaidan Restaurant (Thriller Restaurant)," adapted from a picture book. Each episode is structured around three stories, or "dishes": an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. The first two "dishes" focus on Ako Ozara, an ordinary sixth-grade schoolgirl, and the strange events that happen to her classmates. The third "dish" features a standalone short ghost story narrated by Ako and her friends.
