![]() ![]() Maybe it was something lost in translation as I am an American viewer. I was rooting for Gudetama and Shakipiyo but was also fairly bored through most of the series. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately that was the most interesting part of the series for me. Honestly the technical aspects of how it was shot would make a great behind the scenes look. The locations made as a backdrop for the series and the CGI melds well with the real life locations. The music is fun and adds a touch of whimsy to scenes. So Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure does not look like a traditional anime. There were real life actors as well as CGI characters, such as our protagonist. The series had interesting design choices. The road, hijinks and many other eggs await. Soon the two are out of the fridge and facing the many dangers that await them. Gudetama is lukewarm on the idea but their sibling insists. Shakipiyo, a driven can-do chick has also been born! Despite being such a sharp contrast to each other Shakipiyo decides they are siblings and should go on an adventure to find their mother. However, before Gudetama can truly give up, a second egg hatches. It is not surprising that a series was developed around them recently.Īfter Gudetama hatches in a refrigerator they are ready to go with the flow of whatever comes next. Quickly Gudetama took off with fans and is now one of Sanrio’s most popular characters. Teenagers who were feeling the pressure of society were the first audience to really latch onto everyone’s favorite egg. If you are looking for someone who is just over it all then Gudetama is probably for you. That is something Sanrio has done for years, taken traits to start conversations through their characters. Maybe it was their lethargic, sad nature that first garnered all the attention. This little egg quickly gained a big fanbase. Gudetama got their start as a character for a company called Sanrio, yes, like Hello Kitty. Unfortunately, this time, that was the case for me. Sometimes even this tried and true method isn’t enough to save a story though. Watching the protagonist struggle to reach their goal and the lessons they learn along the way is almost always a hit for a story. There is nothing quite like a story about a wild adventure. ![]()
