Super Shiro

Super Shiro (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese original net animation series produced by Science Saru who also handles planning and general production duties alongside Shin-Ei Animation. A spin-off of the popular Crayon Shin-chan franchise, based on the manga of the same name by Yoshito Usui, the series focuses on the adventures of Shiro, a seemingly-normal family dog who, when the Earth is threatened, secretly transforms into a canine superhero to protect the planet from nefarious villains. The series, consisting of 48 five-minute episodes, was released in Japan exclusively on the TV Asahi-affiliated streaming platforms AbemaTV and Telasa from October 2019 to September 2020, and was subsequently aired on Cartoon Network in Australia, India, and throughout Southeast Asia as well as Taiwan.

A manga adaptation written and illustrated by Kenta Aiba was serialized in Futabasha's magazine from August 2020 to December 2021 with its chapters being collected into two tankobon volumes.
