The TV anime is part of the commemoration of what would have been the 100th birthday of the city’s faithful dog, Hachiko. In the anime, Hachi has been watching over the city as the symbol of Shibuya station’s loyal dog, the Hachiko statue. Hachi begins to move in this present-day Shibuya, having a relaxed and fun daily life with his cheerful friends.
