What happens

Tamagotchi! (たまごっち!) is a 2009 Japanese anime series produced by OLM's Team Kamei division, officially based on the Tamagotchi digital pet jointly created by Bandai and WiZ. It is directed by Jōji Shimura (Pokémon) and written by Aya Matsui (Boys Over Flowers), with character designs done by Sayuri Ichiishi, Shōji Yasukazu, and Miwa Sakai. The anime officially aired on TV Tokyo and other affiliate stations in Japan from 12 October 2009 to 3 September 2012, lasting for seven seasons. A follow-up to the film Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe!, this is the third Tamagotchi anime produced since Saa Ikō! Tamagotchi. After the series' airing, it has gained three anime sequels, two manga adaptations and ten light novel adaptations by Kadokawa Shoten. Although several episodes of the first Tamagotchi anime have been dubbed in select countries, the full anime has never aired outside of Japan. The series ended in March 2015 and was replaced by Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama on its initial timeslot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
