Papuwa · review
When I was 12 years old I went to fye and looked at anime and found a lot of really underrated anime which also came from exploring animes to watch next. One day at fye I found papuwa. I only found the first three volumes watched those and I thought it was the whole thing until I saw a preview for the next episode. After years of finding it I finally went online and got them when I was 14. Ever sense then I've been thinking what made this anime entertaining and why it stuck out to me and why is it so underrated? I haven'tseen the original papuwa kun anime but this one basically told you what happened before.
So today I will be reviewing papuwa.
Story 7/10
The story was unique in a lot of ways. Basically before this one kotaro explodes the papuwa island and comes back later and older with amnesia. So liquid changed his name on his underwear to rotaro which in simpler ways of explaining コko to ロro. So kotaro or the newly named rotaro can't argue with his underwear so that's his name and what happens is other people go to the island to find him and get him back but instead live their.
Art 8/10
The art style and character design were very good because its colorful and fun to look at. But the animation was OK it wasn't horrible it was just normal looking.
Sound 8/10
Originally I gave the sound a 6/10 but I forgot about the english dub. The english dub was AMAZING, the voices were fitting for each character the acting and emotion in the voices were solid and it was amazing in its quality. The good dub aside, I thought the opening and ending songs were good but not great. The the soundtrack was a little forgettable.
Character 8/10
This is one of the parts that makes me surprised the anime is so unknown because the character cast was one of the most entertaining to watch. I feel like the interactions with each character was great. I liked almost every character. Plus a lot of the characters were really memorable too. But one thing that bothers me is the anime totally ignored introducing the names of the characters sometimes .
Enjoyment 7/10
Despite all the good things I said i think i enjoyed this less than i thought i would I laughed a lot it was good too. But sometimes I felt like i want enjoying to the most of it because i feel like I grew out of being a big fan of comedy. But something took away my enjoyment that I just don't know. Sorry i can't because I just don't know I could think of a few theories but I cant always be sure.
Overall 7/10
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good crazy comedy with a story. I would also say that you should watch it to know you've watched something really underrated but I think overall it was a good series that shouldn't be taken to seriously
