Zoobles! (Hangul: 쥬블스, Katakana: ズーブルズ!) is a Japanese/Korean Anime series based on the toys of the same name by Spin Master and Sega Toys. Produced by Dong Woo Animation in Korea, the series is written by Tetsuo Yasumi, best known as the head writer of the anime adaptation of Happy Happy Clover with Japanese producer Mitsuko Ohya of Duel Masters in charge of production. Character designs in the series were done by Nam Jong-Sik of Animal Yokocho and Kazuya Hayashi of Happy Happy Clover. The series began airing on the Korean broadcasting station Seoul Broadcasting System on May 18, 2011, to November 23, 2011. An official Japanese dub version aired on Japan in TV Tokyo on February 5, 2012 to March 25, 2012, replacing Bakugan Battle Brawlers: Gundalian Invaders in its initial timeslot. The series is reaired on April 5, 2012 after moving to a newer timeslot and ended its broadcast on September 27, 2012
Development of the anime began after the toys were released in Japan and Korea. The series itself is based on the Sega Toys adaptation of the toyline in both Japan and Korea, which differs greatly from the American version by Spin Master. Sega Toys approached Korea's Dong Woo Animation to help them make an anime series based on the toys. In turn, Dong Woo Animation and Sega assembled a group of animation staff and crew for the said project. The people involved includes Tetsuo Yasumi, the head writer of the anime adaptation of Happy Happy Clover, Mitsuko Ohya, director of Duel Masters in charge of production while the Character designs were done by Nam Jong-Sik of Animal Yokocho and Kazuya Hayashi of Happy Happy Clover. Korean pop group Rainbow also contributed to the anime's production as they sing both the opening and ending themes.
