Warner Bros. animation and Tubi have announced a new project, in which Scooby-Doo goes anime. The series will be called Yokoso Scooby-Doo!, which means Welcome, Scooby-Doo. The premise is that Shaggy and Scooby go to Japan for some kind of food event, and accidentally unleash a pantheon of Japanese ghosts and folklore monsters. Fred, Daphne, and Velma will not be a part of the story, but Shaggy and Scooby find new friends like gadget whiz Takumi, magical pixie dream girl Yume, and Scooby's uncle Daisuke-Doo. And they have the Mystery Machine, too!
Lending credence to the legitimacy of the project, actors Frank Welker (the longtime voice of Scooby-Doo) and Matthew Lillard (who played Shaggy in the films) are signed to voice the main characters. The one available image gives hope that the anime will reproduce the joyful nonsense of the original series. The series is slated to become available in 2027.
