Reviews Anime / PuniPuniPoemi

Anime all you need to know about animé in one handy package

Even by the standards of Japanese cartoons, this is totally up-to-eleven loopy. Although as the usual starting point for Japanese animation is "already-at-eleven", in this case a special "up-to-a-hundred-and-eleven" category might need to be devised. Just for this one.

It ticks all the boxes.

• although Japanese-made and set in Japan, nobody in it ever looks ethnically Japanese.
• The lead character is irritatingly perky and never stops talking, and she has one of those dog-whistle voices that sound as if she's been ingesting neat helium.
• There are no homely or unattractive characters. Every female character is attractive and often implausibly shaped.
• Science-fiction elements are used as a "get out jail free" card to excuse plot holes.
• Huge breasts on one character appear to be mandatory, as if there is a special clause in Japanese law that enforces this on the animé industry.
• The animators are obliged to push any regulations on nudity and sexual content to see what they can get away with. And they push like a determined Sumo wrestler.
• Japan has different social expectations, ethics and legislation re age of consent and what counts as "underage". This can be jarring to Western aensibilities and probably explains why this got famously barred in New Zealand and why it takes ages to locate an uncensored version on the Web. You can still feel vaguely unclean on watching it and wary as to whether aspects of this are legal in Britain. What is the law on this?
• Lots of cartoon violence - what did happen to the dog that got sliced into three?
• nods, winks and homages to other animé and SF - the aliens in the rectangular yellow spaceship which hangs in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't.

A fun watch, but do not look for logic in the plotting. This does not appear to be an animé thing.

Anime Pretty good for a genre parody

I usually stay away from genre parody type things, but since this is banned in New Zealand I felt the need to watch it just to stick it to the man, and was pleasantly surprised that it's actually pretty good. It's funny, it's weird, and it's pointless, but not in a bad way. If you're into anime, weirdness, and the sort of gag series where the plot takes a back seat to the comedy, then you'll probably like it.

Anime puni puni poemi

puni puni poemi is the exact opposite of earth in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, mostly harmful that is.

there is nothing justified in this anime, and from what i have heard about it it manages to make exactly zero sense at the beginning and then steadily decline in sense making less and less sense as it goes on.

OH and by the way. i say 'what i have heard about it' because i do not have the required mental fortitude to watch past the fifth minute of the anime without risking the following: sanity, intelligence, memory, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, friends, family, three kidneys, two livers, an intestine, my manhood and my corporeal form.

As a compromise however it WILL teach you the meaning of life, before it proceeds to erase any memory you have ever had

all jokes aside as an anime it is built to be a massive parody of the sailor moon genre and is one of the best anime parodies that i have watched, or you know, tried watching.
