>>18337909No. Ongezellig is a Dutch independent web animation (a six-part YouTube pilot from 2018–2022), not anime.
It was created by Sam Tollenaar (under the one-person Studio Massa) in the Netherlands, originally in Dutch, and follows three adoptive teenage sisters (Maya, Coco, and Mymy) in a slice-of-life/black-comedy style focused on social anxiety, family dynamics, and everyday awkwardness. Sources consistently describe it as a Dutch web cartoon/indie animation, not Japanese production.8e1788
Anime, by standard definition, refers to animation originating from Japan (or produced primarily by Japanese studios). Ongezellig’s character designs and tone show clear anime influence—cute “moe” aesthetics, references to anime/hentai, and inspiration from series like Watamote—and some fans or non-English sources (e.g., certain wikis) casually label it a “slice-of-life anime.” However, its Dutch origin, language, creator, and production place it outside the category of anime. It is better described as anime-influenced Western/indie animation.336331
Production stopped after the pilot; it never became a full series.
