Hoshi no Kirby: Pilot · review
This might be one of the weirdest things I've ever watched. Honestly, at times it feels less like a pilot for a 100 episode anime and more like a middle school students' 3D modeling project. Though, it does have some points of charm. Story, uh... It doesn't really have one. The art is a very mixed bag. The 3D animation looks terrible, just absolutely horrendous, it makes RatBoyGenius look like Da Vinci. However, the 2D animation is actually really nice, comparable to the actual show. Sound isn't good. The music is fine enough, but the stock sound effects are laughably bad. Obviously, with no story, any character is highlylacking. Though, they do have a few moments of mildly amusing antics.
Enjoyment will wildly vary. If you enjoy Kirby, like I do, you will probably get a decent amount of enjoyment from seeing this and comparing it to the actually somewhat good anime that it spawned. If not, maybe you can still get some sort of ironic enjoyment.
Overall, despite the low rating, I would actually really recommend this if you're a fan of Kirby. Mainly because it's just about 4 minutes long. And even if you're not that big into the series, you might get a laugh out of it.
