An entry in ZDFneo’s program schedule revealed that the free TV channel will be broadcasting the anime film “Tokyo Godfathers” again next month. We summarize all the details below.
On December 6, 2025
“Tokyo Godfathers” can therefore be seen on December 6, 2025 at 9:45 p.m. with the German language version on ZDFneo. After the broadcast, the evening filler will probably be available free of charge in the ZDF media library.
The MADHOUSE studio was responsible for the production of the film, which premiered in Japan in November 2003, and was directed by Satoshi Kon (“Paprika”). The film was first shown in cinemas in Germany in November 2005.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released “Tokyo Godfathers” on DVD in February 2005 – including German and Japanese dubbing. The last broadcast on television took place in December 2024 on ZDFneo.
