Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure

Adorable mascots with human interactions. Full with funny lines and ridiculously goofy scenes. Great original song and somewhat educational and relatable storyline.

I am very familiar with gudetama from few years back based on its advertisement and shorts appearance. Although till this time, still not a big fan of the voice cast for the gudetama. I really love the idea of making gudetama to be something that is always lazy and unmotivated since its an unborn chick (basically raw egg).

Meanwhile, im not familiar with other characters especially piyo but the voice casting for the character was excellent. The storyline was straight forward and simple. Can be categorised as adventure and comedy. In fact, it is full of sarcasms and jokes.

Sleak and clean animation style by cooperating real life with 2.5d animated figures. Excellent sound scores especially on the intro and cute outro. Very family/ kids friendly. Very memorable mascot. Highly recommended.

The filter on the main protagonist's voice makes it difficult to understand what he says half of the time.

Furthermore, the same character's cynicism comes across as mean-spirited and rude, not charming at all.

The dichotomy of him and the chick does not work as he just seems like a bully.

None of the jokes landed. I have laughed at children's shows before but these jokes were more stale than the ones on popicle sticks.

There was no charm, no humor and no reason to watch another episode.

Rated 4/10 because the animation of the egg is well done but thr chick's eyes have lighting issues and look creepy in some shots.

"Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure" is a Japanese show broken into segments of 10-16 minutes on Netflix. It really is an odd film and will certainly NOT appeal to everyone. After all, Gudetama is a Sanrio character who is a cracked egg...and a lazy one at that!

The show consists of an adorable hatchling running about while wearing a pair of pants made of the egg in which it was recently hatched. This super-adorable chick is in search of its mother and takes lazy and indifferent Gudetama along for the adventure.

I really liked this show. But I also was familiar with the uber-weird character already....others might just be too shocked at its weirdness to know what to think! Overall, a cute show for kids and one that will appeal to SOME adults...provided they appreciate this sort of strangeness. Very well animated and adorable.

The famous egg from Japan is back, this time with a short 10 part adventure for Netflix. Following a CGI animated cracked lazy egg who has come to life and his friend Shakipiyo, a fertilized hatched chick, the two set off on an adventure to find their mom. Filmed in mostly live action environments with all the anthropomorphized food being CGI (including some full grown chickens), any of the human characters were acted really poorly (even for a children's' show) and the plot left a bit to be desired, mostly in that I wasn't looking for one but they tried to create one anyway. I would have preferred less justification on the purpose of their eggsistence and just got on with the cute adventures but to remind I'm a grown man criticizing a show made for children. All in all, it was very cute, and I think kids would really enjoy it.

I have almost no words to describe this movie. It was an absolute waste of time and internet space, yet I was transfixed to the screen and watched every minute of each episode all in one go. I wish I could have that hour and a half of my life back and at the same time wish that every hour and a half of my life could be spent like this. I swear they let a three year old come up with the characters and plot. And what the Prime Minister?? Just the absolute most random things going on at any given moment, and not of it makes sense. Gudetama's lines are spot-on, never taking the story too seriously. The fact that every egg yolk has very well-defined glutes and nothing else just adds to the absurdity.

THIS is the show to watch when you're depressed, stressed, angry, happy, sad, anything. It makes no sense and perfect sense.
