    Warning about the age rating on Netflix

    I scrolled past this on Netflix thinking "aw seems cute!" annnnd the clip that plays of the show is a girl using her powers to enlarge her boobs and ass and asking guys if it looks ok, and then offers for them to touch her boobs while rubbing her hands on her chest. This isn't TV-PG at all, I'm sure if most parents popped this on after seeing the age rating and assuming it would be fine, but then saw the totally not age appropriate stuff, they'd shut it off

    Great job netflix. Also the whole vibe of the show after skimming it, gives off a bit....loli vibes, like uncomfortable and made for less...pure reasons. The designs, content, and the really babish voices is uncomfortable.

    THIS IS THE BEST ANIME I'VE EVER WATCHED!!!

    This anime was SO much fun to watch. The character development, the animation, the VA, the characters, their personalities, it was truly golden and I wish for there to be a season 2 on Netflix. I'd advise anyone even if it was my worst enemy to watch this and trust me, they'll have a good laugh. It had mixtures of emotions. From laughing one minute to balling your eyes out in the next, this show knows how to make their audience feel and how they should feel right. I don't like most shows or movies that come out recently, but this... THIS IS A FANTASTIC MASTERPIECE that deserves more attention and recognition. Please watch this show and I promise you you WON'T regret it 🙃

    CUTEST ANIME EVER!!!!

    Puniru is a kawaii slime is the craziest, cutest and most entertaining show I have seen in a long time. I have watched both seasons a couple of times now. I hope there is a season 3. My Sundays are very boring without this show to look forward too. I need more of this show!!! Please make a season 3!!!!
