The Adventures of GIR & Friends

Overview
The Adventures of GIR & Friends is a Japanese-American-French crossover series that is a spinoff of Invader Zim, and also counts as a spinoff of The Claire Show as well due to it taking place in the same universe as that show and GIR being a character in the latter show. The show premiered with a Japanese dub on TV Fuji in Japan on July 2 2022 and will be released in English and some other languages in America and some other countries on July 6. A new episode comes out on Fuji TV every Saturday at 5:30 AM. The concept of the show is about GIR and his group of friends as they go on adventures and also face random situations.

Age Rating
Unlike Invader Zim and the Claire Show, it is targeted at a slightly younger audience, around Elementary school age, despite it having a character from an adult show (Chuck).

Summary
GIR is a SIR who lives with Zim and he goes outside and plays with his two best friends, Louise and Iago, and sometimes other friends. From making chocolate soup to telling stories to seeing copycats of themselves, who knows what they'll do next?

Layout
The episodes are 12 minutes long and are not cut into shorts and don't have commercial breaks in the middle.

The Main Trio
The main characters in the series and are the only ones that appear in every episode.

GIR
A malfunctioning SIR robot who goes on adventures with his friends, mainly Louise and Iago. He is happy-go-lucky, dim-witted, and very cute. He is a crybaby and tends to cry in most of the episodes along with the other two main characters. He is mostly silver in color with his luminous parts being teal, most notably his eyes. He is frequently seen in a green dog costume with a zipper, even in the opening sequence.

Louise
A living doll rabbit who is GIR's girlfriend. She will do anything to protect GIR. She is into fashion and loves to draw. She likes romantic stories and often fantasizes about herself with GIR. She is also a crybaby. Her fur is reddish-brown and has a black nose. Her inner ears are pink. She is frequently seen in a pink cat costume with with a red bow-tie, even in the opening sequence.

Iago
A parrot who is GIR's best friend. He is mostly grumpy but turns happy-go-lucky like GIR when with his friends sometimes. Despite his tough personality in his grumpy persona, he is actually kind of a crybaby like the other two. He resembles a scarlet macaw despite being a parrot and his eyes are yellow.

Chuck
A green dog-like creature who can be called a clone of GIR. He resembles GIR's green dog costume a lot in appearance, with the only notable differences is he has zippers for his ears and tail rather than only one on his belly, he doesn't have a nose, and he has uneven sized eyes. He is in love with Kit. He can only say his name.

Kit
A pink cat-like creature who can be called a clone of Louise. She resembles Louise's pink cat costume a lot in appearance, with the only notable differences is that she has a bows for her ears and tail rather than one on her chest and she has uneven sized eyes. She is in love with Chuck. She can only say her name, like Chuck.

Lina
A stray tortoisheshell cat who is very adventurous and likes to take strolls around the city. She wears a reddish-pink bow on her right ear. In the Japanese dub, she ends most of her sentences with "nyan".

Trivia

 * Gilbert Gottfried, the voice actor of Iago, died on April 12, 2022. His voice lines for Seasons 3 and 4 of the Claire Show and the first season of The Adventures of GIR & Friends have been recorded beforehand. Due to that, it is unknown who will voice him after Season 4 and this show (if it gets another season).
 * It is unknown if this show will have another season.
 * The Japanese 1st ending theme, "DREAMY☀️SUMMER", sounds similar to Marshmallow by Kera Kera, the 2nd ending theme of Line Town. Kera Kera themselves have done "Love Love everywhere", the 1st ending theme of Season 3 of the Claire Show.
 * The Japanese 2nd ending theme, “GIR no Dance”, sounds similar to “Dance de Nyan” by Kiyomi Kumano, the 2nd Ending theme of Mighty Cat Masked Niyandar. The ending credits with the mascot costumes of the Adventures of GIR & Friends characters and their animated versions frolicking around resembles that of the ending credits of the latter show.
 * The English dub ending theme is a shortened and instrumental version of Drama by TXT, a KPop boy group. The ending credits for the English dub also uses footage from both the 1st and 2nd Japanese ending credits, with the Japanese credits text edited out and replaced with the English credits text. This ending song was also used in the French and German dubs.
