Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure (2022)

Full of heart

This show was hilariously chaotic and funny — but also surprisingly heartfelt when I least expected it. The plot kind of loses itself in the middle — a bunch of random things happen and I'm not entirely sure I can suspend my disbelief during them, but I just kind of had to remind myself that no one is watching this for the masterful plot. The ending is fantastic — and hits surprisingly hard.

But overall I just loved how relatable Gudetama's laziness is. It's hilarious. This series is just good vibes.

Oddly Satisfying

I don't watch many animations or animes but really enjoyed this series. It's super cute and heartwarming. The sighing Gudetama with its gelatin-like mass that constantly jiggled and the energetic Shakipiyo with its lone angry eyebrow are both really adorable, and the voices for these characters are spot-on. I never imagined I'd end up crying over a chick and egg story but that's exactly what happened. My only big gripe is that I'd prefer animation-only rather than a mix of animation and human actors.
