Why bother? Sanrio already peaked in shows with Aggretsuko

I have never known Hello Kitty to be anything other than a merchandise mascot. Was it originally a show or comic or something?
Hello Kitty is indeed a marketing ploy. It has since gotten its own animated series, comics, and so on, but the reason it exists was to try and sell stuff to pre-teens.
No it was always a merchandise mascot.
There was a 1981 animated short “Kitty and Mimmy’s new umbrella”. Stop motion, well made.
There were also a couple of anime shows later on, starting in the late 1980s.
Will it be American or Japanese? And how closely will it hew to the character’s official backstory (of being a girl (not a cat) named Kitty White born in mid-1970s London)?
Kool-Aid Man movie when?? Oh yeaah!!
I hope it’s a slice of life comedy. I doubt it’s a slice of life comedy.
