Chibi Dolls Theater (fan-translation for 人形小剧场 in Chinese), titled どるふろ (“DoruFuro”, short for “Dolls' Frontline”) in Japanese, are 12-episodes short-format parodic mini-animes produced with Chinese and Japanese dubs by animation studio Big Firebird (大火鸟). They are divided into subseries tentatively translated “Healing Chapter” (治愈篇 in Chinese and 癒し編 in Japanese) and “Madness Chapter” (狂乱篇 in Chinese and 狂乱編 in Japanese). In these series, the characters are alternatively drawn in chibi form, exaggeratedly bishoujo style, and in rare scenes in more serious art styles. Most of the gags are slapstick and situational, or parody anime clichés. The soundtrack is sampled from the game.
The first series were broadcast in 2019 and sold in Blu-Rays in 2020. “Healing Chapter” received a second season, starting broadcast on October 7, 2020 on BiliBili.[1] No English release has been announced.
Season 1 - Healing Chapter
The 12 Season 1 Healing episodes don't have individual titles and episodes are about 3 minutes long (2 minutes of content after cutting intro and end credits).
- Healing Chapter - Episode 1: M4A1 and UMP45, with the help of (most) of AR Team and Squad 404, fight for a piece of cake. Eventually, the cake falls in the sleeping G11's mouth.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 2: In the first part, G11 uses a long straw to steal the juice of the other Squad 404 members when they are reading (UMP45 is reading a gun manual and UMP9 a GL] book). She has trouble getting into 416's bottle but 416 helps her, until G11 bites the hand and tries to set off with the whole bottle. In the second part, Squad 404 leaves G11 in charge of collecting the dorm's batteries while they are away, but the battery container talks to her in a dream and she forgets to wake up and collect it.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 3: SOPMOD II has "powered up" AR-15's necktie accessory so it can play an annoying upbeat song.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 4: In the first part, M16 is impressed by UMP45 and UMP9's "teamwork" as 45 uses 9 as a mount, then as a meat shield. In the second part, 9 gives 45 a red pet collar as a Christmas gift, and 45 gifts her back a cangue and takes her out for a walk, a distressing sight for M4A1 who was walking her pet Dinergate.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 5: After a successful mission, M16, AR-15 and SOPMOD II go out for drinks, but M4A1 declines as she's not good with social gatherings. To keep her company, SOPMOD II gives her a miniature plush version of herself called M4 SOPMOD II Jr., which she crafted with parts of fallen enemy dolls. M4 is scared by Jr.'s evil laugh at first, but when Jr. starts crying, M4 consoles her and they play together.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 6: During her sleep, M4A1 has an Alice in Wonderland-like experience. Clothed in a dress, she is greeted by the Technical Fairies, meets Kalina flying on a big gem, rides a giant mustached Dinergate who fights a giant M4 SOPMOD II Jr. with lasers, falls into water and meet a corgi dog doing rolls (as they often do in the game's dorms), meets G11 in a sleigh pulled by the rest of Squad 404, realizes she is a game character and experiences AR Team being wiped during a fight with a Jaeger deathstack, and (seemingly) wakes up in a strange room with G11.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 7: 416 is channel surfing while watching TV. She switches between UMP45 and UMP9 doing a manzai routine, M16 advertising a ballistic plate, a Sangvis Ferri recruitment spot, a meditating G11, a scene from an anime based on M4's dream in episode 6, and an infomercial hosted by Kalina where she sells 416-branded goods. 416 rushes to destroy the warehouses where the goods are stored and invades the infomercial set. She then emerges from the drawing pad of the animator working on the episode and floats menacingly like a ghost. The episode ends with a parody of the premise of the Ring horror film series.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 8: AR-15 and SOPMOD II are faced with a Jupiter Cannon. To destroy it, SOPMOD II uses scrap parts to build what resembles a giant metal sphere. AR-15 fails to see how it can be used at first, but is dragged inside. Not only can the sphere withstand the cannon's shots, but SOPMOD II uses AR-15's necktie song from episode 3 to transform the sphere into a giant robot version of herself named SOPMOD II GIANT. But the robot doesn't have enough energy to move, so SOPMOD II has to make it self-destruct to take the cannon out. AR-15 complains the ending is a letdown. The aesthetics of this episode is a parody of the anime Gurren Lagann.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 9: Squad 404 is moved by the Commander to a bigger, but completely empty dorm. To furnish it, Kalina tells them they need to gather tokens, at a rate of 1 token per day of work. After a Spongebob-style timecard, they bring back 10 tokens for Kalina to call a furnishing drop, but it only contains a chair. She then advertises the use of gems to buy more tokens, and the extra drop for using 100 tokens at once.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 10: Having earned a colossal amount of tokens to furnish their dorm, Squad 404 have also bought dresses, with UMP45 using her Diamond Flower skin and UMP9 her Song of the World skin. When 416 appears wearing her Starry Cocoon dress (complaining that she feels being watched due to Kalina secretly running a peeping show in her changing room), the UMP sisters are struck by the size of her chest, concealed by her usual outfit. 9 tries reassuring 45, who is angered by the indirect comment on her own chest and tries to slap 9, but inadvertently slaps 416's chest instead, making her moan. As they are about to tease 416, G11 exits her changing room with her Most Beautiful Gift of Mine skin. The episode ends with M4A1 becoming interested in a green dress and summer hat she sees in a store window.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 11: M4 SOPMOD II Jr. gets bored as M4A1 is working at her desk and decides to ride her pet Dinergate to go outside on an adventure. They meet the UMP sisters drinking tea at a café and go explore a forest, but have to take shelter in a cave to keep from a sudden rain. The cave is inhabited by a creature and they call for M4's help.
- Healing Chapter - Episode 12: UMP45 comes into M4A1's room to accuse her of stealing the strawberry on her cake, but she finds her sulking because of the disappearance of M4 SOPMOD II Jr. and her pet Dinergate. Squad 404 and AR Team assemble to brainstorm on what happened to them before SOPMOD II reveals she built a tracking chip into Jr., and they go out to find them. M4 despairs as they find the cave and one of Jr.'s antennas, but her in-game counterpart appears and asks her not to give up because, unlike her, the chibi M4 has companions she can rely on. Eventually they find Jr. and the Dinergate sleeping peacefully in a flower field with a little bear, and M4 promises to play with Jr.

Season 2
Season 2 consists of 12 episodes of about 5 minutes. This season did not receive a physical release.
- Pulsation: A giant Sunborn logo congratulates the scared animation studio mascots for the performance of the first Chibi Dolls Theater series, and asks for a second season with more characters and a doubled episode runtime to show Sunborn are now big shots. The episode begins in a bishoujo style cliché high-school anime setting with M4 as a perfect star-student secretly troubled over her future, then as an office lady living a boring life until she discovers a life-changing experience: a mobile game called Girls' Frontline. The entire segment is revealed to be an ad 416 and G11 are watching on TV.
- Parallel World: Realistically proportioned AK-12, AN-94 and RO635 (in Dinergate form) appear like the Terminator in the middle of a forest after encountering a glowing Sunborn logo on the battlefield. They hear a growling sound coming from the starving 416 and G11, which they think are Korpokkur because they are in chibi form. They also discover chibi UMP45 and UMP9 playing badminton, then chibi M16, but are spotted and a Naruto-run pursuit ensues. They dodge a giant Dinergate piloted by chibi SOP-II but trip over a sleeping chibi G11 and meet chibi M4 and AR-15, who were setting up a picnic with the other chibis and invite them. AK-12 and RO explain that they know similar Dolls in their own world, but where M16 has become a Sangvis Ferri ringleader and M4 has lost her innocence. Chibi M4's shining smile turn AK-12 and AN-94 into chibis and they all enjoy the picnic.
- Ghost: Strange events occur at the Griffin base at night: kitchen appliances are floating and UMP45 finds the cake she stored in the fridge has been used to write "flat chest" on the wall. The teams discuss the matter and M4A1 relates how she saw Sop-II Jr. floating (thinking she had been fitted with a flight module) and UMP45 levitating without noticing it. UMP9 says her cardboard box bed disappeared from under her and a proper bed appeared in their run-down dorm, 416's oatmeal disappeared (but she's the only one not realizing it was G11 who ate it), and most importantly nobody has seen the Commander or received missions for a long time. Moreover, resources never run out and their dorm styles are changed regularly. M16 starts teasing a terrified M4A1 about the ghost of the dead Commander haunting the base, but this makes SOP-II excited to use her “Ghost Sonar: Ultimate Edition tool”, a strange SOP-II shaped tool made to sense Dolls energy. G11, AK-12 and AN-94 then appear to tame the ghost with G11's newly awakened esper powers. They try to catch the ghost watching a movie late at night, but they find out it was just Doll-form RO, whom they had never noticed before because she was shy and reserved. Everyone settles that the strange occurrences were just RO being stealthy, but she denies any involvement in the kitchen and bed events. In the Commander's room, a Dinergate sits ominously at the desk.
- Sangvis Ferri: Scarecrow, Executioner and Hunter are sent to kidnap M4A1 as a last chance to prove themselves after several screw-ups. At the Griffin base's entrance, they must battle M16. Scarecrow's drones can't pierce her armor and they are all destroyed, M16 uses her weapon case to block Executioner's blade and beats her up, then she blasts Hunter with her portable cannon. The ringleaders reveal they will be scrapped if they return empty-handed again, so M16 goes with them to talk things through with the SF command, dramatically "leaving for SF's side", but actually coming back quickly to share her time between the two factions.
- Hero: The Dolls are watching the 36th and final entry of a super-hero movie called AR Ainers, where "Captain M16" sacrifices himself to save the world and his love interest M4A1 against the villain Death16th (a pun on 416's name due to the number 4 being associated with death in Eastern Asia). RO gushes about the movie with G11 and UMP9 and they decide to play super-heroes: Captain RO635, Psychic Master G11 and Fancy Sisters [sic] UMP9 battle Mad Doctor SOP-II and her giant robot. But RO635's Dinergate form turns out to be a traitor who wants to take over RO's body and a giant robot battle ensues.
- Dream: M4 can't sleep properly due to nightmares and is recommended to join G11's Sleeping Club, a religious cult started by Kalina and UMP45 to profit off G11's power to make those around her sleepy. In her dreams, M4 is able to confront the bug that was causing her insomnia, but she refuses to destroy it and instead uses her special neural cloud to accept and absorb the bug.
- Soccer: AR Team and DEFY receive a challenge to a soccer match by Sangvis Ferri. On the field, they confront Hunter, Scarecrow, Executioner and their Dinergates, who are cheating by using their guns and anime moves (G11 being asleep in the goals is never questioned). M4A1 insists they beat them without cheating because they are a team of ten (including RO's Dinergate body) against three (since the Dinergates are useless), but 404 start using their weapons anyway. When the giant Dinergate blocking their goals is taken out by UMP45, using UMP9 as a projectile, the ringleaders are starting to despair but M16A1 arrives and motivate them with a speech about teamwork. They end up being so good and powerful that they cause an atomic explosion that destroys the playing field.
- Gambling: Kalina has captured UMP45, UMP9 and 416 to make them pay the 10 million gems debt they accumulated during their dorm shopping spree in season 1, paying M16 to work as collector with 10 years worth of beer. 404 can pay by making IDW dolls for thirty years, or by beating M16 in mahjong, at the risk of doubling their debt if one of them loose all of their points. They take up the challenge but M16 seems to be unbeatable, even when UMP45 starts cheating. A hope appears when 9, and even the usually rules-abiding 416, reveal they have also been cheating to prepare for a big win. But just as M16's luck foils their plan, G11 smashes through the wall of the room and knocks M16 to save the day. Kalina's boss, AR 6P626P626P62, deems 404 worthy of her attention after this stunt.
- Racing: Kalina and M16 are hosting the first Griffin Unlimited Grand Prix around the Griffin base, with a grand prize of three tickets to an onsen. 404 is participating with a monster truck, DEFY with a motorbike, AR-15 represents AR Team with a Formula One car made by SOP-II, and SOP-II and RO race separately as SR Team with an APC. DEFY start in first place due to their mobility, but explode when they collide with a box on the road, thinking it was an item box like in Mario Kart. AR Team is next due to its speed, but quickly slows down when the race continues on dirt roads, enabling 404's truck to take the lead until it goes off-road trying to avoid an obstacle of rocks and trees that SR Team's APC easily punches through. 416 breaks one of the base's walls with a grenade to create a shortcut, and SOP-II assists AR-15 by changing her road tires for cross-country tires, saying that she doesn't care who wins as long as the car she made can run at full potential. AR-15 uses her new tires and boosters to match 404, then engages a second, bigger booster to take the lead and win the race at the cost of her personal safety, and ends up in the hospital.
- Mommy, I Love You: Since nobody bothers guarding Griffin's base when M16 is not there, the Sangvis Ringleaders infiltrate it at night to steal the content of their secret vault, but they are found by SOP-II Jr. who warns M4. The ringleaders apologize and beg for something to feed their Dinergates, so M4 cooks them a curry so good it makes Executioner cry and gives Hunter fake childhood memories.
- Girls' Daily Life: AN-94 stalks AK-12 as she herself is watching the daily life of the base, taking cutesy notes in her notepad to try and make sense of the chibi world. RO reminisces her battles before she got stuck in a Dinergate body, then plays hide-and-seek with SOP-II Jr., while SOP-II creates an IDW Jr. 416 gets embarrassed when 404 enter her room while she's trying on her Neural Upgrade clothes, and the UMP sisters are especially appreciative of the short shorts. Executioner tries to get Scarecrow to train outside instead of tinkering and polishing her drone guns all day and get shot in the head by a misfire.
- M16A1: M16 trains Hunter in the proper use of a harisen paper fan to participate in a manzai competition, but she ends up hitting her so hard M16's eyepatch falls off and she falls into a coma where she dreams of conquering the entire world with Sangvis Ferri's army to establish Doll supremacy over humans. Though M16 joined Sangvis Ferri for fun, 416 start accusing the ringleaders of infecting M16 with the Parapluie virus to destroy her previous personality and infect the rest of the Griffin Dolls. M4 insists everyone should get along, so G11 suggests she should enter M16's neural cloud to fix it. In the dream, M4 controls a small stuffed Doll of herself and talks with M16's gun, who announces an incoming fight between the mad M16, representing Sangvis Ferri, and M4A1 MOD3, representing humanity. The real M4 thinks it's wrong for one of them to die to justify their ideals, and that Dolls shouldn't fight among themselves because of humans. M16 wakes up after accepting M4's peaceful ideals.
