Puni Puni Poemi

Ahhh Shinichi Watanabe strikes again! Ole Nabeshin, along with his wife, brings to us Puni Puni Poemi! This is another of Watanabe's spoof shows, this time focusing in on Sailor Moon, Lesbians, and tentacles! This show has it all: Action, spastic comedy, drama (As a dear character from Excel Saga perishes) and tentacles! If you liked Excel, or just need some laughs, then Puni Puni Poemi is the choice for you. Look for it to be distributed by ADV Films shortly.

It's pointless, it's random, it's rude and crude, and it's a spinoff of Excel Saga. You've got to love it. The jokes are as random as they can possibly be and that's half the fun. The other half is the great fan service and plenty of it. Most of the fan service is even funny to boot.

Being only two episodes though, it doesn't really have time to become anything more than a quick laugh. Don't expect Excel Saga's great story and you'll have a great time and a lot of laughs. Puni Puni is even more random and has far more fan service than Excel Saga. The jokes are pretty much spot on for Excel Saga fans, but non fans will dislike this one even more.

Now hold on! I'm a HUGE fan of both Excel Saga (I own the imperfect collection) and Puni Puni Poemy (they're both made by Shinichi Watanabe AKA: NABESHIN!). But if I was to make a choice, I think I would have to pick Puni Puni Poemy over Excel Saga. Although I still think that Excel Saga is the funniest anime SERIES (Puni Puni Poemy is an OVA or OAV) there were some episodes that just weren't funny enough (the animal episode especially), and I more preferred the crude humor moments in the show (unsurprisingly Episode 26 was my favorite!). Puni Puni Poemy though (since its an OVA) ups the ante on crudeness, rudeness and (for me) humor! I laughed so loud and so many times while watching the two episodes of Puni Puni Poemy! If you thought Excel Saga was rude, this is at least 10 times worse! There is A LOT of sexual references and sexual humor (the show mostly parodies hentai!) This is quite possibly one of my favorite anime's ever!

10/10

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 show was always intended to be Excel Saga on red cordial and sugar bombs. It makes use of a lead actress who talks so high and fast she can induce tinnitus and scare animals. There's no real plot as such, just the join the dots default of 'moei' cute girl series cut up and thrown at the screen. The send ups are of all the conventions and dodgy sexual allusions found in the genre (such as one of the characters continually complaining about the size of her breasts) but no joke stays past it's welcome. In fact they fly by so fast you need to watch it a few times before you're going to get even half of them. Though a warning, there is a lot of 'adult' content, but it's main impact is absurd not lewd .
