It looks like Sentai’s exploring the magical world of a Sanrio character… not Aggretsuko.

Earlier today, Sentai Filmworks announced that they picked up the rights to Hello Kitty & Friends – Let’s Learn Together. The title will be the inaugural entry into the publisher’s new “Sentai Kids” brand, which was also revealed today.
