Tottoko Hamutaro

I myself think that "Hamtaro" is a cute anime myself. I think Hamtaro, and his Ham Ham friends are adorable too. I love it since they go on all of those adventures. That just rocks! Overall, a very cute anime, better than that "Pokemon", or "Dragonball Z" garbage although it is intended for a much younger audience. 10/10.

This cartoon relies on cuteness, intuitive humor, and pretty good animation; and it does quite well.

While it may not be the most exciting, action-packed thing out there, it gets a smile and a laugh more than three times from myself and anyone else who is around watching it with me. If you sit around and watch mindless cartoons all day, like most of the stuff on Nickelodeon and the major networks, then you probably will not like this show. Because it does not rely on gross-out humor, stupid jokes, or idiotic-looking characters, I find it quite clever.

It *does* happen to be geared towards a younger audience -- what cartoon with little animals isn't? It's refreshing in the fact that it's innocent, much better than practically anything on TV today that's smothered with innuendo or lack of intelligence.

There's a wide variety of characters, and the animation is excellent compared to most of the drab and repetitive stuff I usually come across ('Sabrina the Animated Series' or 'DBZ'). It doesn't seem to skip details and effects are well done. Plus, there are plenty of good voice actors to round out the crew -- Ted Cole especially, in my opinion. The dubbing is well-done, and that's coming from me -- I HATE dubbed anime. While Hamtaro's voice does grate occasionally, it suits his character.

If you just want to watch a nice, clean, decent show that doesn't depend on stupidity for humor... watch this.

*4/5*

PS: You may get more of a kick out of it if you own a hamster.

it is the cutest show on the planet. even though it is on the 3rd grade level of intelligence, the cute adventures that these hamsters go through will keep you watching. currently its on cartoonnetwork at 4:00 pm (eastern time). if you like pokemon, you will like this.

I'm eighteen and I actually like Hamtaro. I can't believe it's been nearly four years since Cartoon Network gave it the boot. It's one of the few Animes I can tolerate because there are no violent monsters killing each other.

Anyway, the show is about a talking hamster named Hamtaro who has an owner named Laura. When Laura's at school, Hamtaro runs from his cage and hangs out with his hamster friends called the "Ham-Hams." They meet at an underground clubhouse and go on numerous adventures. Sometimes, when Laura goes on a trip with her family or friends, the ham-hams may tag along, too.

I believe one of the stronger points on Hamtaro was the dubbing. Many of the voices were good matches for the characters, particularly Boss (Ted Cole), Bijou (Chantal Strand) and Dexter (Samuel Vincent). The only thing I didn't like about the show was the introduction of Stan, Sandy's twin brother. I felt he didn't fit in with everyone else and his flirting made me sick.

I would definitely recommend Hamtaro if you are a parent of someone between the ages of four and ten. If you don't like robots or monsters battling their brains out on other Anime shows, then I also recommend it.

The fact that I watched this show in the first place is enough to show how anime deprived I am. After months and months of only DBZ on Toonami, the Cartoon Network got this show. The concept is easy to understand hamsters who meet during the day while their owners are wherever. The concept also shows that this is not a show that will likely attract "Cowboy Be Bop" fans. However despite my original misgivings, I find the show to be absolutely charming. It's more like American cartoons than most anime and doesn't have the rough fighting that is the hallmark of most anime series at least those that make it dubdom in the US. The show will be well liked by little kids though I forsee that hamsters will be one popular Christmas present this year for Hamtaro viewers. I also like that several of the best voice actors found in anime are voicing this show such as Brad Swaile and Ted Cole. Anyone under the age of 8 should love this show and anime fans should enjoy seeing a different style of anime,
