This is the first animated adaptation of the popular manga series (a web-series was later produced). It follows the adventures of a cute puppy whose tail looks like a cinnamon roll (hence the name), who lives at a a cafe and is friends with a bunch of other cute puppies. Clearly this is intended for quite young kids, and on that front it's certainly no better or worse than American animated series like Care Bears, and perhaps less insipid than Paw Patrol. Anime fans might recognise director, Gisaburô Sugii, who has worked on many highly regarded anime movies and series, going right back to the original B&W Astro Boy. Those credentials don't really shine though here, but the animation is engaging and the story is harmless enough.
