Neighborhood Anime Evaluation of PoPoTan
(ANB be aware: This collection was initially reviewed on 03-Aug-2003.)
Yikes! You possibly can inform straight away that this was based mostly off of a dating-sim sport and I wasn’t shocked to be taught it was a hentai sport besides. Very ecchi with tons of fanservice. The rationale for it? To offer the blokes who acquired off after they “put it in” to one of many numerous females within the forged, together with the little woman Mii, one thing to get “excited” about. It’s as a result of the ecchi issue is so excessive that the score I give that is solely “Watch”.
That apart, PoPoTan is a really candy, cute, charming, “slice of life” collection the place the three sisters Ai, Mai, and Mii together with their android maid-guard Mare journey in a home that actually dematerializes solely to indicate up someplace else. Throughout these journeys, the women meet numerous folks and have profound results on the lives of those folks in addition to their very own lives. These journeys are made as they seek for a mysterious girl who could have all the solutions. Sadly, there have been many solutions that have been uncared for.
Right here is the opposite large weak spot of the collection. There have been a bunch of questions I wished solutions to. How did the women get chosen to make this journey? Who precisely is the mysterious girl and what’s her function? How did the women get their powers? Did the mysterious girl create the home and the android maid Mare? Was Mare actually an android or did she simply seem like a persocom from Chobits? There are quite a lot of different questions, however why go on?
Music
Let me say a phrase concerning the music — superb for those who like J-pop. The opening and ending theme songs are very catchy, particularly the top track “S-U-Ok-I“. It was so good that I truly ordered the CD from Japan as quickly because it got here out.
Backside line:
PoPoTan had a lot potential. Had they taken all the ecchi out and centered that power onto a extra centered story, this might have been an actual winner. It’s unhappy, actually…
