Anime takes a very interesting approach with its art style, the old clay animation style reminds you of the great works of Tim Burton. Because of this, its art style makes it stand out and unique from other types of anime. The characters are wonderful, they speak very few words but, the noises and sounds they make convey so much emotion with them. Overall, this reboot or continuation of the original pingu series is very much appreciated, i grew up with it as a child and i'm happy to see it so much more successful now. One small nitpick i have is that unfortunately, it's not that popular i found it hard to find a streaming platform of which to watch it completely or atleast none with questionable legality. One more change that i found odd to adapt to first is the longer episodes compared to…

This is the best anime to ever exist. Everything inside of this show just reminds me what living in Pingu in the City. Whenever MC says, "Noot Noot," it makes me cry- it's sad yet so happy at the same time.
Story: 10/10
It has one of the most obvious plots from its name; it is just Pingu, the MC, in a city. Watching the MC live inside of that city is just amazing, and that is why I rated it a 10/10 in every category. It is also extremely different from the first few seasons of Pingu, mainly because he used to live in a town in Antarctica, but it strays from the original because he lives in a city. I didn't make this section longer because I want you guys to see the story yourself.
Art: 10/10
The art inside of 'Pingu in the city' is a masterpiece in every scene; It's plain, and yet it i…

I mean...
Its Pingu mate.
Whats you expect?
This thing makes Monster look like fucking kindergarten, you feel me? Every episode grizzled with images of a war that haunt Pingu to the end of his miserable days. And to top it off, Pingu's dad is the greatest villain of all time. When he gets angry, Pingu knows he fucked up.
My favourite quote from the show is "BLLUFHGHFHHGFHF!!!!" from pingu's dad. It really shows off his rage and just how far he can push his humanity (as a penguin). When he bangs the table, the screen actually shakes and you can feel your heart beating as well All memes aside, its actually pretty good

Pingu in the city, where do I begin? Pingu in the city is the greatest anime in the history of anime. NOOT NOOT. Its story, art, sound, character, enjoyment make all other shows look awful. FMA Brotherhood doesn’t even compare to this show that was given to us by god himself. NOOT NOOT. I rewatched this show 13 times and it never got old. Hearing the constant NOOT NOOT makes my eyes water every time. The anime is very deceiving however as you may think it’s just a meme. In reality, it’s a heartwarming adventure that will make you cry by episode 2.

This anime is the number one anime that has ever been made. It is somehow a mix of a shonen, comedy, and psychological thriller. If any anime deserves an award of any kind, it is this masterpiece. Nothing can ever compare to it; not Deathnote, not Jojo's Bizarre Adventure- NOTHING.
The plot starts out with the main character, a rather naive and otherwise unknowing penguin by the name of Pingu. He is ridiculously powerful, and would be a boring "Mary Sue"-esque character if it weren't for his overwhelming timidness. His power comes from his mystical spell that only he can cast: the NOOT. Using it causes those around him to cower in fear of even the most basic of small penguins.
CHARACTER/STORY:
It is rather unusual for a main character be so NOOT-ingly strong; aside from shows like One-Pu…

Simply perfect, the story is captivating and makes you laugh and cry, the art is too good to be true, you can compare the art of the Beatles' com come togheter clip, the sounds are realistic and give you the feeling of being close to the pingu , the characters are very charismatic and intelligent, the pingu has his famous language that I am trying to decipher to this day, but I know that when he says amanamanam, I cry with emotion, all episodes have their characteristics, but the best is the last for sure , but I don't want to say the reason not to spoil the experience, I think they should make a pingu game, because this anime is PERFECT! I recommended to my mother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, dog, cat, parrot, blue macaw and rhino, my friends also recommend

A reboot no one expected from the last place anyone expected it from.
Pingu in the City is a reboot of the classic stop-motion clay animated children's comedy, Pingu, which was produced in Switzerland and later in Britain. A good deal of "90's kids" from the British Isles or other nations in the Commonwealth will remember growing up with Pingu on the television.
Pingu features the titular character getting into a number of wacky hijinks, mostly due to his youthful ignorance as he tries to be helpful to others. For the most part this unexpected Japanese reboot has kept the same spirit of the original show, something that can often be an issue for even the same studio rebooting/revisiting an older series that has not been worked on in a while, let alone an entirely different studio from an…

You may sit there, reading this review and others, thinking we're taking the mick. Well, it's no joke, or mistake. Pingu in the City is a remake of the children's show Pingu. This in and of itself allows a nostalgic experience, but the updated anmation is charming, modernised but not enough to be unrecognisable.
The short stories vary from episode to episode but each is equally charming. It's an anime that benefits and rides upon the coat-tails of nostalgia, gripping you in a blissful blanket of content feeling. Blissfully watching the cute antics of young Pingu as he plays with his friends.
The satisfaction is unending, and you end up blissed out, riding the action. The low effort subtitles that once and for all confirm Noot means Noot are extremely funny, adding another layer to the co…

As a child I grew up watching Pingu. Although, it was never my favorite, I did definitely enjoy it. After many years, I was surprised to find a reboot. I was crying. My childhood Anime!
Pingu in the city is an emotional masterpiece. From character design to the art and to the plot, everything is perfect. When I was watching the first few episodes, i didn't expect much. However, after episode 4, I realized it wasn't that this Anime was bad, it was different. Pingu is an original. Unlike other Anime out there that lure in hormonal teens with shirtless guys and short skirt girls, Pingu is different. It shows the daily life of people reflected in a penguin. Struggles that most people forget. Though this anime, we are reminded.
Overall, pingu is heavily underrated, it NEEDS to be in the top 1…

The stopmotion clay animation is a dying art. Pingu in the City immerses itself in the dying embers and emerges as the magnificent phoenix which it is. The incredible sound design is orgasmic and Pingu's voice actor is honestly top tier. The character arcs are incredible and the development of not only the main character but also the side characters is immeasureable. The enjoyment level I got from watching this is too high. I had to change my underwear multiple times while watching as the sweat got too concentrated around my crotch and butt areas. Overall it is honestly a masterpiece that will honestly probably never be topped.

Pingu in the city is based on an older pingu which aired on 1990 to 2006. It was, at the time, the most enjoyable show I've ever watched when I was a child. Though granted, some of the details may have been lost in childish nostalgia but one thing is what I remembered from that old classic, I was anticipating each and every new episode in the morning whenever I get up. It's amazing to see that most of what I loved from the past still has been implemented in this show. All the characters I've come to know and love to the classic "noot-noot" sound, It's still all here. Now, I did say it still has most of what I loved from the old cartoon and that's because it manages to bring new elements to the plot that allows it to become much more endearing than in the
first iteration of this series. It…

Review in brief:
Pingu’s surprise anime reboot, while a resounding hit with pre-established fans of the European claymation series, is difficult to recommend to newcomers despite being fairly entertaining in its own right. Though this short series provides simple fun, it’s a definitive step down from the older claymation seasons. That said, if you’re already a fan you’ll probably like Pingu in the City just fine.
Review in full:
Though this review is solely about Pingu in the City, it would be difficult to truly understand what’s right or wrong about it without looking back to its source. Originating from Switzerland in 1990, Pingu gained international acclaim as a children’s claymation series that made fantastic use of its medium to present zany yet touching short stories about the epo…

Pingu in the City is an amazing show with plenty of laughs. The characters are charming and the humor is top notch. The mimicking of the claymation stayed true to the original concept and the lack of dialogue makes this a universally appealing anime with no language barrier. Pingu in the City is very episodic and realistically you could watch any episode in any order back to back as there isn't any real overarching story. This is a simple kids show and a great one at that. Very little shows can capture the charming, carefree nature of children as well as this did. I personally felt this was masterfully done, the simplicity only adds to the overall genius of this show. This show has a variety of simple, easy to understand themes sprinkled throughout each episode and you could come out learn…

Just imagine over several thousand of years had passed, the human race would have gone extinct ages ago, and the wildlife had taken control over once again, some form of life descended to earth, and discovered the Disney park, now wouldn't they think we human, the previous residents of earth were worshiping Micky mouse, regarding him as a mighty god? well, what would happen if they were to get a copy of the Pingu in the city series? now that would be something to be looking for, wouldn't it? but seriously guys, the series that emerged from our dark nature of memes, and gained most of its popularity from that is our focus for this review, I won't lie when I say, I picked up interest in this show just to take part of the meme community, and was greeted with a whole different experience when…
