AligaPocket

AligaPocket is an anime series by Studio Aura and Dong Woo Animation, very loosely based upon the concept of the children's book Zack's Alligator. The anime premiered on TV Akihabara in October 2020 and was simulcast by Crunchyroll, HiDive, FunimationNow, and Flare+.

In 2021, it was announced at the NFUpfront that Nickelodeon Family had greenlit a second season for the daytime portion of the network. Crunchyroll, HiDive, and Flare+ would stream the second season concurrent with its US broadcast (in March 2022, Crunchyroll, LLC announced that Funimation opted not to stream the second season as a result of its content slowly being moved to Crunchyroll).

In October 2022, it was announced that the series would be getting a six-episode finale anime, titled AligaPocket: Quest for the Alligator King, that would premiere on Nickelodeon Family in October 2023. Crunchyroll, HiDive, and Flare+ would stream the new series concurrent with its US broadcast.

Characters

 * Azuma Soroko (voiced by Romi Park): The main protagonist of the anime. An initially clumsy yet angst-filled high school student, Azuma receives what appears to be an alligator keychain on the first day of school. However, when exposed to water, it becomes usable in "Alligator Battles" which he participates in during his free time.
 * Kaimi Soroko (voiced by Yumi Uchiyama): A middle-school student who proclaims the title of "Alligator King", and is eventually revealed to be the younger brother of Azuma. He debuted in the second season of the anime.

Plot
Azuma Soroko is a clumsy yet angst-filled high-school student who had a clumsy first year in high school (though he mellows out a bit and loses some of his clumsiness in the second season). On the first day of his second year, he is given what appears to be an alligator keychain. When he accidentally puts it in his swimming pool, he realizes that he can use his gift in "Alligator Battles", fights between opponents using similar alligator keychains. However, Alligator Battles can only last a fixed amount of time before the effect caused by water gradually wears off.

The second season introduces a new character who claims to be the "Alligator King", the best participant in Alligator Battles.
