What is there to really say about Potemayo? I honestly don't see how anyone could connect hateful words to this series. Based on the attitude or feel of the show, I can't point out any factors that I necessarily disliked. It's more like I can only point out what was left to be desired. Then again, I never watched the specials, so maybe those could fill in the holes left in my heart when I finished watching the 12th episode.
Potemayo is basically about a dude who wakes up to find an adorable yet odd creature in his refrigerator, and with this creature he decides to continue living his everyday life. Comedy and Cuteness ensue.
This show isn't moving in any general direction, mind you. As in, there isn't really much of a story to base a discussion on. It's simply a slice of life. It's the…

Potemayo was a comedic manga strip by Ogataya Haruka. In 2007, J.C. Staff. The studio behind Shakugan no Shana, Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile just to name the ones I've reviewed.) Now, they have done some really good comedies so it's entirely possible that this could be highly amusing. Of course, it's also possible that this is a major blemish on their production history. Let's take a look and see which is more accurate.
Story:
The titular Potemayo is a strange creature that emerged from the refrigerator of our protagonist, Moriyama Sunao, for no apparent reason. She starts following him to school and getting into shenanigans. Things are further complicated when a second creature, Guchuko, cuts her way out of his fridge with a scythe. This isn't one of those comedic series that…

Honi Honi Honi!
In all honesty I was tempted to leave this review as just those words, but for those of us who don't speak the language, here's a more normal version (that is, if the word normal can be ascribed to this series).
What is Potemayo? When you watch the show this will be the question that you'll find yourself asking over and over.
You could say it's an anime series based on the manga of the same name by Ogataya Haruka. You could also say that it's the result of drug induced euphoria like Hunter S Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (only funnier). It's very possible that Potemayo is the product of genius and madness joining together to create a story that encapsulates the surrealness of Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, the anarchy of Seto no Hanayome, the wrongness o…

If you're looking for something unique and original Go watch this show. When I say original and unique i dont mean artsy or psycologically significant. Its just a strangely funny and entertaing show. Most anybody can really appreciate the humor in this show.
Story:
It is a Slice of life, so most of the story is just the day to day events of a boy, his classmates, and his weird little chibi monster thing.
Art:
The art works well with the story and has a nice watercolor look to it. The design of Potemayo and Guchiko are mind numbingly cute.
Sound:
No complaints. I thought Potemayo's voice was especially well done and All the character voices match extremely well. Laser beam sounds were also very cool, you'll understand the reference within the first episode.
Characters:
All of the charac…
