 The great thing about 5-minute episodes, is
that it makes the show really easy to review. :) Damekko
Doubutsu takes a look a jungle like through a lens that's suspiciously
similar to Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, except this time we're
looking at the jungle's animal inhabitants instead of the humans.
Sort of.
Jungle life is tough - wolf Uruno hasn't eaten for days, can't even
catch himself a rabbit for lunch, and there's a bird trying to eat him... He's about to pass on the
opportunity of living in such a strange forest, when he runs into the
incredibly cute cheetah, Chiiko...
2 - The Moon, Dried Squid, and Unicorn
While following Chiiko in something of a daze, Uruno meets a creature
he never expected to - a unicorn. But just like every other
creature in the forest, he really doesn't conform to steretype.
Usahara the rabbit has a burning desire to get hold of his horn,
though, and tries to rope Uruno into becoming his partner in crime...
With the same off-the-wall style of humour as Jungle Guu, and the
episodes being short 5-minute bites that won't give you much chance to
suffer from slapstick overload, there's really nothing here that
detracts from the show - the only pre-requisite is a liking for this
sort of humour. If you enjoyed Jungle Guu, you'll enjoy
this. Even if you didn't, the five minutes it would take to try
it our will hardly ruin your life. Fun, although probably
forgettable over the long-term.
