Puni Puni Poemi

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.

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++.

The first time I saw this was at an anime club meeting at my local library. The hosts told us this would be funny... they also said it'd be kind of dirty... I wanted to see just how dirty.

I got my answer days later when I rented this DVD, and believe it or not, the commentary was even sicker than the show itself.

Still I like sick humor, and if you can, watch all three versions. (Commentary, English and Japanese) Be warned, though: those of you that can't handle insanely fast dialog, sexual themes, weird tentacles on human characters or just plain gross humor, don't even pick this one up.

If you can though, this one's for you.

8/10

This is a 2 part OAV spin-off from "Excel Saga" and I dare not compare it to that series as it will pale. But if you take PPP on it's own you will find much to enjoy. Don't fault me for not really going into plot with this review as the plot is really secondary to the parody of other anime, manga, and heinti. It's manic energy, zaniness, hyperness, and spot-on parody will most likely win any Anime fan over after a small while, I do take issue with the characters making asides to "fan service" every now and then as it's more "faux" fan service because there's no follow through in that respect. But maybe that's just another joke. And that may be as the jokes and gags come so fast and often that no one will be able to catch on too them all on the first watch.

My Grade: B

Where i saw it: Anime Network on Demand

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 .
