  • The five-part miniseries consists of roughly 60-second episodes presented entirely in Japanese with subtitles available in multiple languages.
  • A global premiere is scheduled for Oct. 13 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET on Duolingo’s official YouTube channel.
  • Duolingo confirmed Los Angeles-based Titmouse as the animation partner following a first-look trailer reveal at New York Comic Con.
