Mofy is one of the characters born from the imagination of Aki Kondo, author best known as the creator of the venerable Rilakkuma. The sweet bunny this spring has become the protagonist of a tv series, which is having a great success in Japan (so that new episodes are already in the works). Made in stop-motion, the anime sees the collaboration non only of the Japanese Sony Creative, but also of the Italian Rai Fiction (which will broadcast the series in the next months) and animation studio Misseri, in Florence.

The Year of the Rabbit
According to Chinese astrology, each year is associated with one of the 12 animals of the zodiac, which combine with one of the 5 natural elements (fire, earth, water, metal and wood) to create a cycle that is completed every 60 years. Certainly, many of you may be familiar with the animals of the Chinese zodiac, made famous by the Fruit Basket manga series. The Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year, since the beginning of each month coincides with the new moon. For this reason, the start of the year is staggered by almost a month compared to our calendar!
