About

The first episode (S1E1) of the Taiko no Tatsujin Clay Anime. This episode has been reuploaded with updated subtitles. To watch it, click here.

This series is being uploaded here in response to the take down of the series on YouTube.

Taiko no Tatsujin Clay Anime was a stop-motion Claymation series that aired on Kids Station in 2005 and 2006, and it was the only official anime that the Taiko no Tatsujin had until Taiko no Tatsujin Aniba was released as a web series in 2021. Adapted from the first console game Taiko no Tatsujin Tatacon de Dodon ga Don and produced by Namco, the show follows the misadventures of Don, Katsu, and the rest of the Taiko no Tatsujin cast. The series was released on DVD across four volumes (Atsumare no Maki [Ep. 1-7], Wai Wai no Maki [Ep. 8-13], Tobikkiri no Maki [Ep.14-20], and Happy no Maki [Ep. 21-26]) and the first season was subbed by Triad and uploaded to YouTube in 2007 and 2009 by Wolf4Knowledge, while the second season was uploaded to YouTube 12 years later in 2021 by a channel dedicated to the series, TaikoClayAnime.

Recently, the entire series was taken off YouTube by CODA and the two channels were terminated. As an attempt to recover and archive the series, I have decided to upload the entire series here. I will also provide subtitles for the second when I have time.
