As I've said in my review of "Pokemon The First Movie", I hate anime (at least what I've seen). Nonetheless, since there is a strike going on at our school, and there's nothing better to do, I decided to sit down and watch this show. I knew ahead of time that it would be idiotic and baby-oriented, and though I tried to like it, I could find nothing to like.
The characters are obviously cutsey-pie (think Pikachu and Togepi combined to the thousandth power), and that gets annoying. The standard really annoying Japanimation sight gags (bubbles coming out of sleeping characters' noses [WTF?], sweat drops, and, of course, the ever popular "Falling over backwards in unison when confronted with something you don't like" syndrome) are all here. The animation is typically horrible and way too bright.
Nonetheless, if you are a) four years old or younger, b) a person as smart as a cauliflour, or c) a really messed-up girl obsessed with "cute" (i.e., small) things, then you'll find this enjoyable. Personally, my brothers and I had to MST3K-it and we had something of a good time . . . but there's half an hour of my life I'll never have back . ..
Bottom line: I'll take "Invader Zim", "Blackadder II", "The X Files", "Spongebob Squarepants", and even the dreaded "Pokemon" over this anyday.
No stars whatsoever.
PS: In the episode I watched, one of the hamsters said something like, "Looks like we did it!" and another one (probably the annoying yellow squeaky one) said something that sounded like "Oh, f*** you!" Really! I don't think this was intentional, but it's hilarious all the same.
