The age of battles is upon us, and one Roboco is making their dreams come true! At the ME & ROBOCO special stage at Jump Festa 2025 today, the series announced that One Piece’s Luffy will inspire a new character for the upcoming ME & ROBOCO anime film. Mayumi Tanaka, Luffy’s voice actor, will also take the reigns to voice this Roboco version. Tanaka joined the stage event dressed as a farmer with a proper straw hat. Can’t think of a reason why!

Akitaro Daichi (Fruits Basket) continues to direct the ME & ROBOCO film at Studio Gallop. The film is set to release in Japan on April 18, 2025. Daichi also directed the 2022 TV anime series, alongside scripts by Sayuri Oba, character designs by Yuko Ebara and music by Jun Abe and Seiji Muto.
Crunchyroll currently streams the anime series and describes it as such:
Ten-year-old Bondo has always dreamt of owning a cute robot maid. They’re beautiful, sweet, and graceful servants. But when he finally gets his hands on one, she’s not what he expected. Roboco is twice the size of other maids, twice as strong, and twice as weird! Something’s off about this robot. Can Bondo and his friends figure out her secret?
