On August 18th, 2016 at around 8 PM JST (Japan Standard Time) in Japan, the first episode of PJ Berri Mogu Mogu Monya Monya (Eng. PJ Berri Munching Mumbling) aired on the Japanese TV network Fuji TV. The anime was produced by Doga Togo in cooperation with Parappa´s and PJ´s designer Rodney A. Greenblat.

Its main focus was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Parappa the Rapper video game released in 1996 for the PlayStation and the 15th anniversary of the anime adaptation, which aired from 2001 to 2002, also on Fuji TV. It also was used as a marketing tool to promote the 2016 remaster of the first Parappa the Rapper for the Playstation 4 in Japan.

Overall the series consists of 2 seasons, the first season has 20 episodes and the second season has 6. The episodes normally average around 90 seconds each. In October 2016, it became a regular segment on Fiji TV´s “Hi Poul” late-night programming block.

Plot

As the name of the show suggests, it mostly revolved around Parappa´s friend PJ Berri. But other characters from the games and anime also made appearances, such as Chop Chop Master Onion, Lammy, Katy Kat, Mar-san, Sweety Bancha, Sunny Funny, Matt Major, Paula Fox, etc.

The plot of most episodes (Season 1 mostly) was PJ being an advice-giver of some sort, helping others with their problems while being asleep. PJ would dream of himself being the king of “PJ-Land”, while his advisors ask him for solutions when problems arise.

Meanwhile, Parappa works as a part-time employee at the “Chop Chop Fruites Cafe”, run by Chop Chop Master Onion.

Websites

The show also had its own official website where people could buy merchandise and keep up with events such as the “Game 20th Anniversary & Anime 15th Anniversary Parappa-Anniversary Fest”, which started December 4th, 2016 to January 15th, 2017, in Tokyo, Japan.[1] A link on the website would send someone to Fuji TV´s website, where a page named “Go to Fuji TV” would have been displayed, detailing where the event would have taken place.

The show also had an official Twitter account, but the last post dates back to January 30th, 2017.

The anime itself has been mentioned on several other websites, for example, Crunchyroll, where a member by the name of “Eddie1255” has posted about the anticipation of the series.[2] Other sites like Myanimelist, further confirm the existence of all unavailable episodes from season 1.[3] One review exists on the Myanimelist page, posted on October 7th, 2017, by a member named “Keitaro004”.[4]

Tumblr, on the other hand, has a whole blog dedicated to the anime, where multiple screenshots of the later episodes (probably episodes 11 to 20) were uploaded. In 2017 a user by the name of “Anpandough” uploaded 10 episodes of the series to Facebook, which have been removed. The same year, a YouTuber named “Parappathehat” uploaded 9 of the ten given episodes with sound and the 10th without any sound but provided a link to a website called “Kissanime”, where the pilot episode, as well as the 10th and 11th episodes, were found.

Update as of August 7th: The remaining episodes have been found and uploaded to Mega.nz by Reddit user "SpeedBeatz". Download Link in "External Links" below.
