"Duo the Duolingo owl has already done a lot in what's been a relatively long life for an owl. Depending on the species, owls live on average around a decade, but then most aren't bright green multilingual celebrities with a morning routine like Ashton Hall's. Duo died briefly earlier in this, his 13th year since the launch of the language learning app in 2011, but was soon fit enough to appear patched into Resident Evil."
"Entitled 最後の決戦 (The Final Test), the 'first Duolingo anime series' (you mean we'll be getting more?) will premier on Duolingo's YouTube channel on 13 October. There will be five 60-second episodes in total, all in Japanese. The series is an unexpected and extravagant way to promote Duolingo's updated Japanese courses, which are now available to learners in all languages. The company says it will build on a growing connection between anime fandom and language learning"
"The animation will introduce a new backstory for Duo and friends, showing that before becoming 'guardians of the streak', they were ordinary people. Duo is described as "a persistent, social and emotional boy who communicates via text, and is a day owl." Duo will speak in the series, but in his own language, which sounds similar to in-app sound effects like 'wah-bing!'"
