Popotan: Complete Collection



Nice series but needs a little something...
The Popotan anime seems to be one of those series where the makers assumes that the viewer has played the game as well as read the novels or manga. That's not to say that the basic storyline of the anime isn't clear, but I couldn't help but feel like there was something I was missing out on. (The original games were sexually oriented & while you can sort of tell that from the oodles of fanservice, that's really not what the "something missing" seems to be in this anime.)

Popotan follows the adventures of three sisters & their maid as they travel through time in their mansion to various places in Japan in the hopes of finding a mysterious person. In each location they meet new friends as well as new problems to help solve. However, they never seem to be any closer to finding that special person...

The series is very cute & the animation is fairly decent. The animation does seem to occasionally lack in certain areas, most notably when it surrounds a character that...

I love it
The overall story is a good and the sub-stories can really pull you in. I really felt for the middle sister, Mi, she seems to have a hard time letting go of her friends.

Stuck in my head
My husband and I loved this set. It's a short collection, we wished there had been more seasons. It's odd, but isn't that something you can say about most anime? We both got the theme song stuck in our heads, and we even bought a Unagi toy from Japan.
