Puni Puni Poemi

WOW!!!!

This is the best way to describe this show. It has got to be one of the most random, funny, disturbing, uncomfortable to watch with parents, weird, and just plain pointless shows I have ever seen.

And funny enough, the main character, Poemi, reminds me of some of my friends. There is also plenty of fan service in this film also. Fans of slapstick comedies will love this show.

Definitely not for the kids, no way, no how. Although I'm only fourteen, I don't recommended this for anyone under 16, o.k., well a few people.

As for the rating, 10/10 or A++.

This is a 2 part OAV spin-off from "Excel Saga" and I dare not compare it to that series as it will pale. But if you take PPP on it's own you will find much to enjoy. Don't fault me for not really going into plot with this review as the plot is really secondary to the parody of other anime, manga, and heinti. It's manic energy, zaniness, hyperness, and spot-on parody will most likely win any Anime fan over after a small while, I do take issue with the characters making asides to "fan service" every now and then as it's more "faux" fan service because there's no follow through in that respect. But maybe that's just another joke. And that may be as the jokes and gags come so fast and often that no one will be able to catch on too them all on the first watch.

My Grade: B

Where i saw it: Anime Network on Demand

Trust me, even if you have seen Excel Saga, you still won't understand this, because there is nothing to understand. Its just a bunch of crazy stuff happening. This is a crazy take-off of Excel Saga, and since Excel Saga was absolutely crazy to begin with, Puni Puni Poemi truly takes no prisoners. Whilst something like FLCL is insane, this is insane for different reasons. Puni Puni Poemi is more of a 'duh!' kind of insane, with doors opening upwards instead of outwards and super-fast talking schoolgirls, in fact, it is almost impossible to describe just how utterly insane this anime is, just watch it, but be prepared to be turned totally brain-dead.

This is just about THE funniest series I've seen to date and that says a lot. I've seen the entire series of Excel Saga and that was crazy enough..... Puni Puni Poemi goes way beyond anything you've seen in Excel Saga. It's crazier, the characters are solid and mesh well, it's funnier and it's easily a "must buy" series in my honest opinion. If you think this is just another off the wall anime, you'd be dead wrong.

I do wish that it was longer though, and that's about the only gripe I have about this series. Please, for the love of Pete, if you like good, wacky slapstick and lots of physical humor, pick this one up. Heck, at least rent it, but get this work of art in your head! (^-^ )v

The first time I saw this was at an anime club meeting at my local library. The hosts told us this would be funny... they also said it'd be kind of dirty... I wanted to see just how dirty.

I got my answer days later when I rented this DVD, and believe it or not, the commentary was even sicker than the show itself.

Still I like sick humor, and if you can, watch all three versions. (Commentary, English and Japanese) Be warned, though: those of you that can't handle insanely fast dialog, sexual themes, weird tentacles on human characters or just plain gross humor, don't even pick this one up.

If you can though, this one's for you.

8/10
