Pan-Talon, pilot of the Panda-Z mecha, lives a colorful life. He engages in skirmishes against Skull Panda and the evil Warunimal army, plays Old Maid with his buddies, and consumes meals made out of batteries (for what else would a robot eat?). Meanwhile, at the enemy HQ, the Warunimal captains are more interested in finding out what their leader looks like under his cape than they are about devising evil plots. Through a variety of situations the forces collide, with both sides suffering design faults and neither taking the fighting seriously!
One day, Dejiko, Puchiko and the strange ball-shaped Gema-Gema crash land their UFO in the middle of Akihabara. Without a single yen to their name they have nowhere to go, but following an unexpected and generous offer from the manager of a nearby store, the trio begin working at the shop in exchange for renting the room upstairs. Alongside Dejiko’s self-confessed rival Rabi-en-Rose, as well as a mysterious bear that has mastered the ability to appear happy, sad, depressed and angry all at once, the insanity is only just beginning! From shooting window shoppers with Dejiko’s Laser Eye Beam and the appearance of a bizarre farting impostor, to a sudden attack on the city by Godzilla, life at Gamers is certainly livening up.
Hale and his mother live peacefully in the jungle, until one day Hale is overtaken by a omnipotent shadow. Later, he awakens to find Guu, a strange girl with even stranger abilities. Notably, the ability to switch from a cute, lovable Guu, to a menacing delinquent who eats everything. Now Hale must live with Guu, and lead a normal life, despite her oddities.
Cat Soup is an extremely abstract, abnormal, and at times, disturbing adventure, from the director of Nadesico. This 30 minute OVA follows two kittens through what seems to be the underworld, as they search for one of their lost souls. Along the way, they encounter new (edible) friends, scary situations, and even the end of the world! Will these felines manage to return unscathed? Or more importantly, avoid becoming the main course for dinner? Confusion abounds in this quirky OVA.
Need a job done right? Call the Zenryoku Engineering Company! Staffed by hip-hop loving boss Oyakata, aggressive Ojou, babysitter-turned-worker Minarai and a variety of other motivated rabbits, Zenryoku Engineering Company lives by a simple motto: do our very best! From finding old fossils to building a bridge to help a young rabbit find his way home, there's nothing the team can't build or handle!
Panda Z and Zenryoku Usagi are REMARKABLY similar. Each involves cute creatures doing rather adult things, whether it's fighting in animal-shaped tanks or building structures. They have essentially the IDENTICAL feel and I strongly believe fans of one would like the other.
