One of the most enjoyable shows of the season. The character designs are not only cute but truly ambitious, considering what the original designs look like. The story is nothing special; it is a slice-of-life comedy after all. But watching the characters play off of each other and get into wacky hijinks is highly entertaining. The writers clearly know how to handle a joke, and they had me grabbing my sides at times, beside myself with laughter and enjoyment. Some storylines are straight-forward or even cliche, but many are absurd and surprising. These ones stand out in my mind. From one character breaking into song in thestyle of an 80s music video for being in love with another character that won't love him back, to a rap battle between warring factions of dogs, to the ditzy idol cat brutally punching the cop dog to win a tournament. Uchi Tama revels in absurdity, and I eat it up.

Don't let the anthropomorphic designs fool you; this show has heart and genuine passion put into its production.
