Not a single male cast member. Bechdel test passed with flying colors. Incredible storytelling! I felt so absorbed that I would often miss obvious cinematic elements (intentionally vague). I think I also peed myself with laughter.

Are you learning Spanish for the Super Bowl? (Or for love?) Watch this show! IN SPANISH.

Admittedly, I have yet to watch the English dub movie version. And I will, but I can't imagine that cultural references and jokes will land as well. I'm sure I'll still love it.

Best lesbian sex scene here-the passion of the puppets! The coldness and soullessness of Ms Marionette! The poetic contradiction and drama! As someone who's not even remotely culturally related Im proud to say this is my new favorite show! Adult swim, please make more original shiny shows like this...we are honesty so thirsty to beautiful and raw materials like this!

Also this show offers some of the most memorable and unhinged scenes that adds so much in storytelling, like the imagined dancing with flirty duck scene, like the predator/prey discussion -> bed, and the breakup using the maid/dayughter.... Novel and unique and so funny lol.

I love how extremely strange the premise of the show is. The story is primarily about animal rights activism (as the whole conflict is about the killing of guinea pigs in Ecuador), but it is also a mystery, drama and sapphic romance at the same time. It parodies and subverts a lot of the tropes you may see in telenovelas. Sadly, a lot of that comedy might be lost on primarily English-speaking viewers who don't understand the cultural references or the messaging.

The stop motion animation is crude and low budget in a charming way. The recurring gag where they switch to close up shots of live action hands is also pretty funny. The pacing is all over the place, but it seemingly works better as a movie rather than a series (as seen in the movie cut on HBO Max). I definitely recommend giving this a shot if you are curious, as it's only an hour and twenty minute watch all the way through.
