Pui Pui Molcar

Introduction

Due to an adorable evolutionary miracle, guinea pigs have become furry automobiles known as "Molcars." Now, drivers can enjoy the fluffy interior of their vehicles while fulfilling their every transportation need. However, Molcars are not simply lettuce-fueled machines; they are also sentient creatures with their own worries and desires. Whether in their drivers' presence or among each other, these motorized rodents are swept up into many wild and eventful situations—the likes of which only a Molcar could wind up in.

Pui Pui Molcar asks an important philosophical question: what if cars were guinea pigs? Even though it's only about 25 minutes in total and there's no dialogue at all, Pui Pui Molcar might just be the best anime of the decade so far. I have nothing bad to say about it. The stop-motion animation is excellent and the molcars are extremely cute. Each episode is different and there are things like time travel (that episode features a real guinea pig), bank robberies, and all sorts of other stuff. I hope that one day we can live in a world where cars are guinea pigs. Absolute cinema. 10/10, I would recommend this to any person of any age.

The amount of unbridled joy this anime brings me, is unmeasurable. My chest physically hurts from the joy and emotion this show gives me. I have cried tears for these adorable piggie cars, I have sprained facial muscles from smiling so hard. My own piggies past away a few years ago, so the comfort and memories I get from this show fills a little void in me. You don't need to think too hard on the messages in the episodes (even tho they're great and cute) just enjoy the adorableness and escape reality for a moment with the tiny piggie cars.

If you're looking for a wholesome and quick show, you've come to the right place. This has a little bit of everything in season 1 with each episode being a small skit or parody. In season 2, we get an overarching storyline. This show is absolutely delightful with characters that convey so much emotion without saying a word. This show covers so many genres while still managing to retain its wholesomeness and family-friendly demographic. I would recommend this show to anyone tbh. It's fun and doesn't drag in its pacing. Who knew that felt guinea pigs could display so much character and emotions?

This anime is a must watch for all ages. It is absolutely life changing. I went into this anime as a joke, it was cute, clearly for kids, I thought I was just going to be watching this in the background. I was dead wrong. The cuteness is absolutely a factor, but the show made me feel for the molcars. I was stressed, I almost cried, which is an amazing feat for a show who’s episodes are less than 3 minutes. No words are spoken, and yet the emotion reads on the molcars like black text on a white page. The stylistic choices are funny and cute, sure, but they convey impressive emotion for Guinea pig cars, and make each individual one have a distinct personality that is recognizable from the others. It is a short form anime, so if you NEED a plot maybe skip this one, but they often do callbacks…

The daily lives of guinea pigs turned cars are charming, not necessarily because children's shows offer nuanced insights that can be addictive, although that's certainly part of it, but because the creative lengths achieved here in under three minutes is nothing short of amusing. It's less about the plot lines themselves, and more so the imaginative stop-motion animation coming to fruition through the use of diverse visual language. Pui Pui Molcar stitches storytelling by weaving music, varied movement, and completely transparent facial expressions that are not only easy to read but the sheer spectrum of subtle micro-movements boasting ridiculous amounts of twitches and jumps plus many more details evoke genuine investment in the resolution of the Molcars's conflicts. Two particular charac…

A surreal anime that seems to rely on its "cuteness" factor to begin, before quickly becoming something of a masterpiece (in its own way). I was underwhelmed by the first little episode, then after it got weirder and progressively funnier/more referential/even cuter/more wholesome as each episode went on, I was hooked and binged them all. It really does have amazing sound design (it shook me to learn afterwards that all the guinea pig noises are real, that makes it EVEN cuter), the stop motion is incredibly fluid and effective, and the little stories are absolutely adorable. I even teared up a couple of times, which to say the least is unexpected for a kids show about guinea pigs that are also cars. Definitely a recommend if you like cute anime or kids media (heck, even if you don't be…

Anime out of context supremacy! It says I need more info so I’m just gonna try filling this out about what I think this show is… I wonder how it smells inside of the cars…. If you get shit out and you smell bad or you have a medical issue or (std) will the car then get the drivers medical issue? When the driver gets pooped out and the car had diarrhea will the human then get turned into diarrhea? I don’t know these things… kinda want answers. This is the only review I’ve ever written I hope you are happy.

Pui Pui Molcar changed my life. Suffering from a rough work-week, a wise Jesus-like figure suggested I watch this masterpiece. Upon completion, I can say without a doubt Pui Pui Molcar is the best children's anime I've seen in years. The little molcars are charming and manage to convey so much emotion and humor using only their adorable sound effects and "pui pui"s. Using only a few minutes at a time, the creators of this show manage to show (not tell) how the world of Molcars works. The real life actors are even amusing. If you need light in your life, please, take a moment out of your day for an episode of Pui Pui Molcar.

My life has forever been changed. With the first utterance of "pui pui" I knew it would be a good show. I was wrong, it isn't a good show. It is a transcendent experience filled with joy, laughs, shenanigans, and true beauty. When Plato talks about the ultimate form of beauty, goodness, and molcars, he is talking about this show. Whether you like superheroes, Indiana Jones, or the zombie apocalypse, Pui Pui Molcar is the anime to watch. My only critique, and I believe it to be a fair one, is that there is not enough Pui Pui Molcar. Hopefully twenty years from now, I can look back and think, "that's where it all began." The beginning of a legacy.

I have to say that Pui Pui Molcar is an absolute masterpiece--not just in the anime world, but in all of media. Shakespeare, Breaking Bad, Fullmetal Alchemist have NOTHING on this. Not even Beserk can top this. Pui Pui Molcar surpasses all media conventions. The cinematography, the acting, the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? All had me on the edge of my seat. I would show this to my children if I had the time to HAVE ANY while watching this nonstop. Pui Pui Molcar has changed my life. I used to want to kill myself, I had no hope at all in my life, not until I saw this on Netflix. I was desperately scrolling through looking for hope after I found out Megamind was removed from Netflix and it came like a gift from god. After seeing (Spoilers alert) the poor white molcar get traumatized after being ki…

I know what you're thinking: a Pui Pui Molecar review, surely this is just a joke. There isn't someone who actually genuinely likes this show, right? But that's where you'd be mistaken! But I understand you, because even I was mistaken at first! When I decided to watch Pui Pui molecar as a joke, I never expected something this great. Yes, this is just a silly little anime about guinea pig cars, and yes, it doesn't have much substance plotwise; but it wouldn't be fair to dismiss it all just because of that !! Artwise, I was actually very impressed at the quality: The entire show is done almost entirely in stop motion, and it doesn't look like the cheap kind either!! There were people who worked hard, meticulously moving each piece and slowly filming a single scene for hours on end. Crea…

Truly a masterpiece, Pixar Cars have nothing against this gargantuan paragon of media. I have experienced every emotion known to humankind watching this, the amount of serotonin injected into me should be illegal. There are no faults in this anime, and if there are it's because of the humans because the Molcars will never be at fault. If they went on a murder spree, I will still forgive them no matter what. 🐹/10 makes me cry every time. There is no doubt, no matter which angle you look at it, nothing can compare to this monumental moment of Molcar. Molcar is Justice. (Staff, pls don't delete my review again :( It's my 100% honest feelings)

Pui Pui Molcar is not just simply a meme or a generic kid show. When you look into a kid show with a short duration, you would probably think "how is this show being called 'the best anime in 2021', when it's just made for kids and is that short?" But if you look deeper, you would figure out why it is so and start to appreciate the effort made by the director Misato and his team to create this engaging world of Molcars which both adults and kids could find enjoyable. First of all is the design of the Molcars. Each of them is well designed and made with different personalities, being recognizable by the audience. Just like real life pets, they have various personalities, sounds (by real guinea pigs!), fur colors and the need to eat and sleep, meanwhile there are different kinds of Molcars…

Surprisingly this is a pretty good show, even though its for kids it manages to make even me laugh. I don't know how comedy shows in anime with a higher budget than this fail to entertain me. Its also all under a half hour, not wasting my time and staying for just as long as I need it to be. Although i love this completely I don't think its trying to make a statement toward anything and that's ok. That's why I give Pui Pui Molcar an 8/10. It's literally just short and fun no reason to not watch it really.

Absolutely beautiful. I love the character development, I love the episode-by-episode plotline, I loved the entire premise of the show. It may have been initially intended for children but as a full-grown, tax paying adult I can confirm you WILL enjoy this. You'll get through it quickly with each episode only being ~2 minutes long, but it's not a bad thing. Just like how Spotify offers you a tastebreakers playlist, this is the anime version of that. You'll be done in 20 minutes, it will damn well be the cutest 20 minutes of your life. (Sidenote: this would also be great to watch after a little bit of a puff puff pass situation if you catch my drift) 10/10 WILL watch again

Never once has an anime about guinea pigs made me feel so invigorated. So ALIVE! Until now. This high can only be compared to an overdose on sweet Columbian black tar heroin. This is truly a 10/10 masterpiece. Nothing else will ever compare. I might as well kill myself because I will never find greater joy in life ever again. If Tomoki Misato does not make another season of this, I will personally fly to Japan and force him to animate more of this.

One of the best anime to come out of 2021, and possibly one of the best anime to come out in history. Story: The story is basically cute hamster cars doing cute things. This ranges from them hanging out with each other, racing, eating together, partying, dancing, etc. Pui Pui Molcar is a simple anime with no complexity to its story. Each episode is self-contained as well as being 2 minutes long. Making it the perfect anime to turn your brain off. Art style: One of the highlights of this show are its visuals. Instead of traditional 2D animation, this anime uses fluff as a way of forming its identity (Something I don't see in many forms of media). It compliments the furry nature of real hamsters which is why it works so well. As for the character designs of the hamsters, they are charmin…

I watched this with a couple of friends at midnight. Truly a transcendental experience for all of us. In case you were wondering, the best episodes are the robbery one and the magical girl one. I hope all of these molcars have a fun life. I will soon be a college student, and I will try my best to convince the top schools in the country to create a molcar history program. I shall be known and renowned as the molcar recordkeeper. I will reign supreme. Good show. I enjoyed. The stop motion animation is quite good for the molcars and the world surrounding it, however it is a bit jarring to see the stop motion on the real people. Also, why is the ambulance molcar so much more popular than anything else related to the show? Who are the 43 of you who favorited her? Why?

Pui Pui Molcar is simply put, an very easy anime to watch that makes me, among many else, happy. Haven taken internet by surprise at the beginning of 2021 with its light-hearted and fun visual outlook, Pui Pui Molcar very much succeeds at what it clearly is aiming to be. Every now and then people tend to find something catered towards a different audience, and this years most wide spread example of this has been Pui Pui Molcar. An fun short ride of 24 minutes as a whole, Pui Pui tells many adventures featuring, and of "Facebook animals, but make them cars". With that sentence I think it is clear why internet has taken such a liking to this soothing and joyful animation. Expressional animals are something that everybody likes. As the anime is able to relay everything it is trying to tell…
