Excel Saga scraps? -or- Pure junk? -or- Harmless fun?
I really couldn't tell with this anime series. The begining of the anime series -or (the first few minutes) really didn't grab my attention because it was god awful boring and not even funny. Then later on in the first episode, it was sitting on three words to describe it..pure funny junk. Some parts in the first episode had a few laughs but then the laughs die down and you are just looking in shock and saying what the hell just happened but for me it was enough to keep watching on to the second episode. The second episode can only be describe as 'ecchi' and wasn't it almost to be considered 'hentai'. Well anyway...the second episode was annoying ecchi junk...maybe that's the only words I can describe it. Very few laughs just alot of ecchi junk that could give an animated teenage boy a nosebleed for hours but for this series I can't stop watching. Overrall I am kinda indifferent on it. I wouldn't say it's worth the money or it's not worth the money. So just stuck. Just go on Youtube and watch the first episode of Puni Puni and see what you think about it.

Hyper, Crazy, Junk
Shinichi Watanabe, the same director from the comedy anime named, Excel worked on this project and tried to re-create the crazy energy and humor into Puni Puni Poemi. Puni Poemi is a parody of other parody, so it is making fun of other animes that made fun of others. Though it sounds like a wishful paradox integrated into the storyline, the story itself is simplistic and really dumb. Poemi Wantanabi is a young girl like twelve years old who aspires to be a voice actor in the anime industry, but hasn't been offered the job. Poemi also transforms into a super hero and fights off an alien invasion which on taking over Earth. Poemi, is super hyper and super crazy; she talks super fast and does crazy things on screen like stabbing herself with pencils, screaming at the top of her lungs, laughing and crying sometimes at the same time, bouncing around the screen more than Daffy Duck. She's not the only crazy one though, other characters in the show are just as insane and the pacing will get you tired, there is barely a moment of peace in the two episode series. There are lots of weak jokes in attempt to create humor in which only come off as cheesy or perverted, there is some fan service but it is not very erotic, but instead is a parody of hentai anime. There is a constant [...] theme which seem out of place between all the female characters and even scenes that imply sexual activity between two underage girls. The storyline has no cohesive element so there is nothing to follow, the dialog is very stupid and nowhere near the humor of Excel Saga. Puni Puni Poemi is only two episodes long, there is some perversion in the episodes, so I cannot recommend it to anyone under 16 years of age. This was a waste of time and money. If you want comedy anime I recommend the "Excel Saga" and if you want fan service get "Agent Aika".


A magical girl anime done the Excel Saga way.
Leave all logic at the door, because watching Puni Puni Poemy is going to short circuit your mind and either confuse, entertain, or offend you for the next hour or so.

Poemi Watanabe is your typical cute and kind-hearted but extremely hyper 10-year old female lead character. She's like a cross between Excel and Sailormoon, since she discovers that she can transform into a magical girl after her parents Nabeshin and Ms. Kumikumi get killed by invading aliens. Poemi becomes an orphan, taken in by her best friend Futaba Aasu's family. Futaba in the meantime is a parody of Cardcaptor Sakura's Tomoyo, her intense adoration for Poemi quickly progressing to an openly lesbian love.

And so Poemi comes to live with the Aasu sisters. There are several Aasu sisters, aged 3 to 28. I can't remember the exact number of Aasu sisters there are, much less recall their names. One of them is an S&M queen in a local club, while another one is a dead ringer for Excel Saga's Hyatt -- except that her boobs are abnormally huge. Each of the Aasu sisters have some weird quirk, and it is later revealed that they all have special (albeit useless) powers for protecting the Earth. After Poemi and the Aasu sisters start facing off with the aliens, Puni Puni Poemi's sexual content jumps into overdrive. The Aasu sisters are captured, stripped, and hogtied into various kinky positions; tentacles appear and molest the girls while they moan in ecstasy; Poemi and Futaba are shown rolling on the bed naked and entwined around each other... and did I mention that the aliens have these spiky balls hanging down their groins? Puni Puni Poemy gets so raunchy that it's almost hentai, the only thing missing being full-blown sexual intercourse -- and 10-year old Poemi is right in the middle of it, furiously and continuously insisting that all she wants is to be a voice actress. They even crack sex jokes with Futaba's 3-year old sister. If this were a hentai title it would probably be the zaniest and most creative one of the lot, but a regular anime? Twisted, and potentially offensive.

One good thing about Puni Puni Poemy is the visual aspect. Character designs are rather impressive in their uniqueness, despite the aliens' gross spiky balls. All the girls are either cute or beautiful, yet the characters don't look like they all came out of the same mold. Poemi's transformation sequence is totally cheesy but then that is how it's meant to be, parodying magical girl tranformations in general. Poemi's seiyuu Yumiko Kobayashi carries the ultra-hyper motormouth role very well. She not only speaks hundreds of words per minute, she sprouts nonsense with a conviction that's usually reserved for real lines of dialogue. There's no shortage of talent on her part.

Puni Puni Poemy is a comedy -- one big spoof of the magical girl and hentai genres, done Excel Saga-style. Too bad the humor didn't really sit too well with me. I mean, what's so funny about Poemi referring to herself as "Kobayashi" (her seiyuu's surname)? Or a couple of nude 10-year old girls in bed? Or aliens with hanging balls? While it's definitely a one-of-a-kind and groundbreaking anime experience, I think I've had enough of Shinichi Watanabe to last me a lifetime.
