The popular webtoon Kindergarten for Divine Beasts is set to receive a broadcast animation adaptation, notable for its integration of artificial intelligence throughout the production pipeline. The series will premiere on the Anione channel in South Korea later this month.
Daewon Broadcasting spearheaded the planning, production, and post-production for the animated series, teaming up with Glitch Goblin Studio, an AI-focused entity under Korea Edu Group. The adaptation will feature 10-minute episodes, each combining the content of two original webtoon chapters. The production team emphasized using AI not just for automation but as an active part of the creative process, aiming to preserve the webtoon's original tone and character appeal while meeting broadcast quality standards.
A representative from Daewon Broadcasting highlighted the project's significance in showcasing AI's potential as a practical creative tool in content production, capable of maintaining broadcast-level quality. The original webtoon, written by Geul Mat and illustrated by Mimba, has garnered over 4 million views worldwide since its serialization began in January 2025. The story centers on Seo Minwoo, who unexpectedly becomes the director of a kindergarten filled with divine beast children.
