Review: |
How to describe it? It's just weird, there's no story as each episode is dealt in an episodic style, that had no correlation between each other aside the 'animal' like facts at the start of each episode, which brings me to my first point of the show, that is that each episode is broken into two segments, with the first containing the animal facts though the animal is made up I found it to be the better parts of the show with the facts being so strange that they were quite funny. Though on the other side the rest of the show, is not as fun, due to poor writing and boring episodes that lack any sense of humour and feel all the same, so by the end of the you'll just feel like you wasted your time.
This is also due to the characters which at first are interesting while having good designs though later degrade, as there personalities are advanced and just stick to being boring and never sticking out except during the weirder scenes.
Whereas for the character designs as said before aren't bad, the rest of the art is just ugly and looks horrible even if the style is very different from the norm, though the animation isn't bad and the soundtrack is pretty average which could also be said of ending song as well though the animation for this isn't bad as it shows how they did the characters and art during it.
The opening on another hand is one of better parts of show, as the song fits the show well and has a decent animation that meets the weird factor head on.
Overall I'd give this one a miss, and would recommend it if you want something abstract or have absolutely nothing to watch.
Final Verdict: Story/Setting: 4.1
Characters: 3.8
Art/Animation: 4.4
Sound: 5
Final Score: 4.2/10
