Another one of Kid’s Station’s zero-budget flash shorts series, this time based on the 4 panel strip Pugyuru. It’s one of those shows that will either tickle your sense of humour or will create intense hatred at the poorly animated nonsense you have just watched.
Me? I thought it was hilarious. Non sequiturs and surrealist flights of fancy will do it every time (I do wonder if manzai comedy is more accessible to the British than Americans…), so this tale of an anonymous girl who is tormented by the arrival of a foot high rubber maid, an octopus wearing a mask, a woman made of ice and a juvenile delinquent was right up my street. The episode where they discover the button in the maid Cheko’s head is probably the highlight.
Given its origins as a cheap flash animation, I’m not sure why this hasn’t been put somewhere online in an official capacity.
