Dr. Slump: Arale Running – Production Douga (Toei Animation)

Let’s pick up the pace! This original production douga captures our unstoppable android heroine Arale Norimaki mid-sprint — full of chaotic energy, joy, and cartoon power.

Few characters embody such relentless optimism and absurd strength as Arale. Whether she’s charging at mach speed or poking poop with a stick, her boundless spirit is a cornerstone of Dr. Slump’s surreal world. This douga freezes a dynamic moment — arms flailing, glasses flying — all drawn with the confident looseness of a key animation meant to bring life, not perfection.

These raw drawings from the animation process are rarely showcased, and yet they hold the heart of every scene. You can feel the impact and the speed even in pencil — a testament to the artistry behind Toriyama’s vision and the animators at Toei.

A must-have for fans of pure motion and analog-era energy.
