I really don't understand the hostility towards this special. For some reason, Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken seems to have brought together every hater the base Full Moon anime seems to have as the quality of this special emision isn't actually that different to that of the aforementioned series. From looking a the reviews, one would assume it to be vastly inferior, however. Which is the thing I already mentioned don't understand at the opening of my parragraphs. And sure, the plot of this episode might not make much sense, all things considered. Should Takuto and Meroko utilized their powers to turn themselves from theirstuffed animal to proper Shinigami form the whole travesty that was special could have been avoided. But otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten our "Cute Cute Adventure", wouldn't be?
People somethimes forget this anime as a whole was made with a rather juvenile audience in mind, and these type of audience will generally prioritize having fun with what they are watching rather than those IPs making perfect sense as determined by the mind of their adults counterparts (who I suppose are the ones writting the reviews, to begin with).
What I am trying to get at is that people should chill out somethimes, lay back and just have fun! Seriously, just how better the world would become if everyone wasn't affraid to do that at least every once in a while?
Now, speaking of the special itself: if you look through my profile you'll realize I generally rate other specials or any IP who derivers from the main series really lower that is base property; this wasn't the with Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken, however. For its short duration Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken proved to be exceptionally entertaining on what it tries to achieve. Its story is quite straigh-forward: Mitsuki awokens late for a photoshoot she had scheduled with the VillagePro people and on her hurry she forgets both Takuto and Meroko back at home, beign unable to transform into Full Moon without them that way. Afterwards we see the Shinigami due desperately try to reach their human companion while in their stuffed animal form. On their journey, they have to deal with angry dogs who try to attack them, hungry birds who take them away to who-knows-where and even at some point end-up washed away in some drain wich ends with the real footage of a waterfall beign shown! (Which I believe was included because it would be too costly to animate otherwise, but is a nice addition, none the less, lol).
Strangely enough, the part I most enjoyed about this special might have been its ending credits, believe it or not. And not because I was "anxious for it to end", but rather because it featured a very nice vocal-performance song that reminds me of older pieces from the '60s and '70s. Reminds us really that "old" music such as that one that coexist with "newer" compositions such as the ones featured on this show.
My only regret when watching this episode, however, was assuming it took place after the ending of its base anime and as such saved it for the end; spoiler: it doesn't. This special takes place around 10-ish episodes into the series or so, so take that into consideration when beginning to watch it and don't commit the same mistake I commited when watching it.
Overall: a very nice addition to the Full Moon series and, altough a non-obligatory watch for those interested in the IP, it sure as hell makes for a nice experience and it only takes 12 minutes of your time to complete it. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and watch Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken, you won't regret it afterwards!
