One of Sanrio’s most popular characters, the lazy egg Gudetama, is coming to Netflix in a new CG live-action hybrid series! Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure will air on the streaming service worldwide later in 2022. Gudetama was created following Sanrio’s Edible Character General Election, a project to brainstorm new food-themed characters held in 2013. The character came in second place, and from 2014 to 2020, Gudetama appeared in a number of animated shorts airing both on television and online. With over a million Twitter followers, you’d think he’d be a little more excited–but he’s the same unmotivated egg as ever. The new series will follow Gudetama as he finally leaves the safety of the refrigerator to explore the world with his newfound friend Shakipiyo to find their mother. Shakipiyo is a go-getting chick, and these polar opposites might not find the journey to be an easy one.
The teaser shows Gudetama in his typical stupor, and it’s unclear exactly what hilarity the series is going to bring. Tune in later this year to find out! ©️ 2022 SANRIO CO., LTD. S／D・G 著作：㈱サンリオ -

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. Today, I’ll be showing you how to make a Gudetama parfait made with a yogurt mousse and topped with orange and peach jelly. Ingredients Yogurt Mousse Ingredients: 100g sugar free yogurt 50ml fresh cream 20g sugar 3g gelatin *With the gelatin, mix well with 1 tbsp water Mikan & Yellow Peach Jelly Ingredients: 100ml mikan juice (or any orange juice) 150g tinned peaches (with syrup) 5g gelatin *With the gelatin, mix well with 1 tbsp water 1
①Mix the sugar into the yogurt well. Add in 7/10 of the fresh cream and mix well again. ②Microwave the gelatin for 10-20 seconds at 500w. Add into the mixture from ① and mix well. 2 Once the mixture has set in about ⅓ of a glass, add sliced chocolate on the inside for the eyes and mouth. I cut mine into shape using a toothpick. Make sure the chocolate is properly fixed to the glass at this point. 3 Put your yellow peach and mikan orange into a blender (but not the gelatin part). The syrup of the peaches is already sweet so there’s no need to add sugar. ②Microwave the gelatin for 10-20 seconds at 500w. Add into the blended mixture and mix well. Pour on top of the mix inside the glass. If there are any peach pieces left, cut them up and use them as toppings. Top with fresh cream and chopped fruit, and you’re done! I stuck Gudetama’s face on well and good so it looks like his chocolate face is on the outside. Be sure to try doing the same. Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes! Kaori Kubota （@kaopan27） I live in Hokkaido and I love to make character themed foods, desserts and pastries♡ I want to see my family smile, so I enjoy putting in a bit of effort to make character foods and changing food into something cute♡ You can see more of my character foods and character bento boxes on my Instagram page → @kaopan72 -
The official YouTube channel for the popular character Gudetama is now posting its videos with English, Traditional Chinese and Korean subtitles.
Gudetama is a lazy egg character that was created by Sanrio in 2013. His debut saw him reach No. 2 on Tabekyara Sousenkyo, a competition that had people voting for their favourite food-inspired character. His lethargic, no-energy demeanour has earned him international popularity. The decision to include subtitles in various languages serves to further expand his sluggish influence. Videos posted on this channel include an archive of short animations that have and are shown on Japanese television as well as new videos made specifically for the YouTube channel. Sanrio plan to add more languages in the future. The channel is also accepting translations from viewers using YouTube's subtitle function. These translations will be reviewed and judged before consideration to post them on the channel is made. Be sure to head on over to Gudetama's channel and subscribe for daily content!
