Pop Pap Polters Stop-Motion Short Film on October 4: Cast and Trailer Released
Pop Pap Polters, with its stop-motion short films, comes to screens on October 4, 2026. The new trailer revealed the voice cast and new names added to the team. According to Anime News Network, Atsumi Tanezaki will voice the three tiny ghosts in the house, while Junya Enoki takes on the role of the homeowner.
As a voice artist who has brought to life iconic characters such as Frieren and Anya, Tanezaki has a large fan base in the anime world. In this project, voicing all three different ghosts by herself is notable for showcasing the actor's vocal talent. Junya Enoki is also known for his performances as Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen and Norman in The Promised Neverland. The duo promises a comedic and adorable atmosphere with the dynamic between the tiny ghosts and the bewildered homeowner.
Stop-motion is an animation technique that requires a great deal of effort, created by photographing every movement frame by frame. Pop Pap Polters, with its name taken from the word poltergeist and referencing the sounds ghosts make, combines this tradition with humor. The trailer highlights moments where the three ghosts play with objects in the room, create small chaos, and put the homeowner in difficult situations. With their handcrafted aesthetic and warm storytelling, such short stop-motion works appeal to viewers of all ages.
With the trailer's release, new information and names about the project's technical staff were also shared. The premiere of Pop Pap Polters on October 4, 2026, will be an eagerly awaited start for anime fans who love the stop-motion and comedy genres. The producers are expected to keep this excitement alive with new promotions in the coming weeks.
