Anime Puni Puni Poemi [Oops...Watanabe did it again.]

[KarmaOfChaos]

[color=deeppink][size=1]Well, for those of you who are fans of Excel Saga, Watanabe has come out with another quack parody anime, called Puni Puni Poemi. Although it's only two episodes long, it packs a lot of hysterical punch. It's mainly a very obscene parody of magical girl anime (particualarily Sailor Moon) and anime pornography.

Now, in order to get some of the jokes, you have to have seen Excel Saga, in which the singers for the opening theme song frequently cos-play as their character counterparts. One of these singers is now playing, sort-of, herself, as Poemi (although she frequently calls herself Kobayashi...her actual name.) Poemi (much like Kobayashi) has a dream of being a voice actress. Which doesn't really relate to anything else in the "plot" but anyway. Poemi is also a magical girl, born to save the world.

Beloved Nabeshin also makes plenty of apperances, this time as the father of Poemi. Suffice to say, Puni Puni Poemi is possibly more on crack than even Excel Saga.

All the more reason to watch it!

The complaints are basically the same for PPP as for ES. Plotless, obscure humour. I think that it just comes down to a matter of pure taste. It's like opera. You either love it or you hate it. PPP is also rather short, but this means that you don't have to dedicate yourself to buying a whole big box set or series, and there are no cliffhangers. Regardless, PPP is absolutely hysterical, and it's at least worth renting, especially if you're either a) a fan of Excel Saga, or b) would like to get a taste of Excel Saga is all about without delving into all the madness of it and its 26 episodes and accompanying manga.

For anyone who's actually seen it - thoughts? Did you Watanabe's humor short and sweet like it is in PPP or long and drawn out like it is in ES? Pros, cons, etc.

funny funny funny, thats my thoughts on it! i rented it about 2 months ago, had to watch it while my parents werent paying attention(cuz they woulda killed me) and was laughing the whole way thru it. what got me interested in it was the trailer from azumanga daioh 1. (nudity removed) (groping removed) (more nudity removed) (groping, S&M, and wrongful use of a fish removed) oh, and anything that would get them sued was removed from the trailer.

now tell me, after seeing that, who wouldnt want to see it? ive only seen about 5 episodes of excel saga, but i loved it, and knew i would love this. dunno about the opera part tho, not a big fan of it myself...
