Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki - Episode 1


Note: So these blogs will be quite short due to the episodes only being 3 minutes long.

When I first head of of this anime, I was instantly reminded of Natsume Soseki's book, I Am a Cat. The synopsis for Poyopoyo lead me to believe we'd see everything through the eyes of a cat and be lead about his every whim. Maybe I was adding some unneeded pieces to that synopsis in order to liken it more to Natsume's book... Either way, this is nothing like the book.

This anime focuses on a cat known as Sato Puffy, who was discovered lying in the middle of a street by a drunkard. He's round. Lightning fast. Can jump high, but always falls afterwards. Is good natured, and can endure teasing, though he's not too good about it behind closed doors. He doesn't mind taking baths (this is like an oxymoron for cats). Is incredibly charming. So round and cute people often can't tell what kind of animal he is. Has big claws, and is well-mannered with them, except when it comes to the older brother, whose arms he uses as a scratching post. Sato's sadistic behavior towards the brother is odd, though, as he prefers the company of the older brother over the sister at night. Maybe he's just tsundere. Oh gosh. This, in turn, embroils the sister, throwing her into a jealous frenzy of fire with a hair style reminiscent of Goku. Baawww, Sato. No... If you treat Poyopoyo like any other anime, you'll be sorely disappointed. I can tell this small series is meant as filler in-between commercials in Japan land. It's supposed to be fun.

  1. Your review was far more interesting to read than the episode itself. :3
