Funny Pets!

Storyline

3. On New Year’s Eve, people go out to have fun with their beloved, their families and friends. Me, on the other hand, decided to watch the notorious Anime called Funny Pets!, together with fellow Anime-Planet member Brokensaint058. The only way we were able to finish the whole thing, was by turning it into a drinking game. And so we did. Apparently, a brain-dead girl called Funny takes in some homeless aliens who have the head of a sun and a moon. The sun has the characteristics of a baby. He gets all the attention from Funny. While the moon is being an ass all the time and tries extreme measures to get Funny’s love and caring, even up to the part of killing the sun if he has to. Not that it really matters, though. 95% of the episodes end in at least someone dying, but in the next episode, they seem to be alright. It’s like a vicious cycle.

Plot and pace

2. There are 12 episodes, each of them taking about 6 minutes. I can be brief about the plot: there is none. Each episode features a different story/adventure/issue these morons have, and each one of them is more ridiculous than the previous one they had. It’s like the show creators were running out of ideas! You’d say, because each chapter is so short, that this must be an ‘Anime’ meant for kids. But no kid would sleep well after watching these guys.

Cliffhangers

0. No cliffhangers, no points. You’d think that someone dying could be a great cliffhanger in ANY Anime series, but since these totally-unfunny-pets are practically like cockroaches - you can’t destroy them - not even that keeps being interesting.

Satisfying ending

1. Each ending is different, but this score rather means the ending of the series as a whole. There is no real conclusion, but that’s only natural for a show that’s lacking plot development. I don’t even remember what happened in the last chapter. Everything’s so random that you could just switch each episode with another one and no one would notice.

Rewatchability

4. Believe me, this show is SO BAD, you will one day have to see it again before you can accept it how much they fucked it up. Still only a 4 because healthy people won’t watch this again, other than to get trolled.

Characters

4. You have Funny, who dresses up like a hooker, but other than that nothing important can be said about her. Then there’s the sun-guy. He’s always behaving like a baby and asking for Funny’s attention. Then there’s the moon, an evil thing that’s always moaning and complaining about being left out and not getting any attention at all, so he decides to go on a killing spree each episode.

Conversations

0. The conversations are nothing more than some random simlish. If you guys ever played The Sims before, you know what I’m talking about. For the moon and sun, coming from an entirely different planet, I could still accept that. But even Funny seems to be suffering from Dyslexia, Dysarthria and Huntington disease at the same time.

Art Style

3. This doesn’t even look like Anime. This is just some CGI drawing. Nothing more, nothing less. The animations are boring and unappealing.

Setting

3. Everything happens either inside Funny’s house, or just outside of it. From killing ants, to flying a balloon and shooting cannonballs at the sun’s head. Yes, these are actually what some of the chapters are about.

Music and sounds

1. The only good thing about the intro song, is that it gets stuck into your head for the rest of the year if you hear it. Wait, that’s not even a good thing… Other notable sounds include Ooooooh and Uuuuuw, like when they get some kind of bright idea in their heads, and the moon laughing like a possessed maniac.

Overall score

21/100
