Everyone knows the iconic character, Hello Kitty, but the Sanrio universe is far bigger than just the little white cat with a cute red bow. In fact, the entertainment giant has created more than 450 characters since it was founded in 1960, including Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Aggretsuko — the latter of which already has her own Netflix animated series.
There may be a wealth of characters to choose from when it comes to choosing inspiration for a new series, but two Sanrio favorites are celebrating very special anniversaries this year, and Netflix has brought them together for the super-kawaii stop-motion animated adventure, My Melody and Kuromi, added today [Thursday, July 24].
