Introduction
Milk-chan is a drooling, potty-mouthed baby who lives in an apartment with an obsolete robot named Tetsuko, a slug named Hanage, and an uncontrollable pet named Robodog. Whenever the President calls, Milk-chan and the gang rush to the scene to solve any type of problem - whether it's stopping a money counterfeiter hungry for Belgian waffles or counselling a school of drunk fish. At the same time, they have to avoid a nagging landlord, as they're six months behind their rent.

Anime is a deep diverse pool; you got your high-octane Shonen action animes, your slice-of-life smooth vibe animes, then you got this kind of category; animes that come from bizarro world. Nonsensical stories that take place in a uniquely weird yet special world that exists like no other in any other anime, and feature characters with the oddest designs, backstories, powers etc.
You got stuff like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo , FLCL, and the one, in particular, I'm talking about...Super Milk Chan.
Airing on Adult Swim back in 2003 but I never caught it I was only 4 years old. Super Milk Chan follows the story of a foul-mouthed 5-year-old girl, her robot server companion, and her pet caterpillar thing, as they go on various missions assigned to them by the president of this…

I think it's worth noting that this show was probably never meant to click with western audiences, Super Milk-chan is a show that prides itself on referencing as much 60s-70s anime, manga and general Japanese pop culture from that time period in its twenty-four minute running time as possible, but I'm pretty sure that most of it's audience in Japan didn't get it either as it's a show that's nonsensical to a T (or an N, in this case...).
To explain this show would take forever, to explain why this show is one of my favourites? Even longer than that. While I myself have no idea what is going on as I have barely any knowledge on Japanese pop culture, I think that this show has a unique, quirky charm to it that is why it fits so well in Adult Swim's own absurdity. Everything about this show i…

I was very unsure about this version of Super Milk-Chan. I had enjoyed the original series more than I expected to but could this show really transition to a full 25 minute episode format and have it's charm remain in tact? The shorter running time had been a crucial piece of what made the original series appealing to me because it meant the show never outstayed it's welcome. Well the answer for whether this series feels like overtime everytime in a longer format is mostly a yes but also no. Definitive huh? No? Well lets get into it.
Oh! Super Milk-Chan is the same format as the previous series, we have 5 year old Superhero 'Milk-Chan' with no superpowers to speak of, her robotic flatulent maid 'Tetsuko', her slightly less pointless this time round pet slug 'Hanage' and the never will not…

Okay so this anime has three different versions for those of you who don't know and they rank as following: Japanese sub>Translated Dub (ADV)>Americanized (Also ADV). There really should be separate places for each one with how different they are, and because of it I can't give it a fair review (Hence me giving it a 5), but I'll try and break it down as well as I can.
Okay let me start with an overall review. If you're watching this show for a story just get out because there is none and you shouldn't expect one nor should you expect character development since this show is sort of in the style of individual comedy shorts (Or at least it started out as that). The art in every version is very good and charming and was quite alluring to me, having bright colors and thick lines outlining ch…

Overview:
Back in the early 2000s when anime actually still aired on American TV, the Adult Swim program block on Cartoon Network was by far the most succesful in terms of viewer ratings for anime. Other channels like Syfy tried, but weren't able to really find an audience. Adult Swim for the most part stuck with very generic and safe shonen series like Naruto, Inuyasha, Code Geass, and other shows that they knew had no chance of failing. If you wonder why Adult Swim never went further out on a limb and tried airing less conventional anime like Spice and Wolf or Mushishi. The answer is that they tried...once....with a bizarre title called Super Milk Chan. This show bombed so hard that Adult Swim got even more conservative and although they love to air random American cartoons like Aqua Te…

This show sucked. From the teasers it sounded like it would be funny. It certainly is different, I'll say that, but just being different doesn't necessarily mean good. It's not funny, it's just stupid. It's about a potty-mouthed baby who lives with a robot. There's no real plot, it's just joke after joke. But the jokes are stupid and the comic situations just repeat themselves after awhile. I actually couldn't finish it.
Just so I'm not a total bringdown, the art was well done and the production was OK. It just wasn't funny.
