Moetan · review
Moetan can best be described from the popular tags on the database. It's a comedy about a group of loli magical girls who behave moe.As in any other loli anime before this, it starts off with a walk to school. Nijihara Ink just happens to act all clumsy and cute as she tries to get to school. Hilarity ensues... Story (Mediocre) It's an already been used story line thats been beaten down so many times that you can tell if you'll love it or hate it based on the first episode. Judging from the first episode you'll get an eyeful of purposely cute situations mixedin with some gratuitous fanservice. And when i say gratuitous, i mean theres so much fan service that you will either enjoy it because theres so much or hate it because it's too much. It's not for the faint of hart, trust me. Other than that, Ink and her friends get to deal with some monsters and fight bad guys thats pretty much the gist of the story.
Art (Great)
Fortunately, the art is something to be believed. The artists did such an amazing work on this show. It's kind of like an anime version of Candyland, with all the bright vibrant colors, large shapes, and cute things. Everything is crisp and clear in high definition. But you will notice (like the theme) that the style might feel a little borrowed from an anime here and an anime there. When I watched it, for some reason it reminded me of Popotan. For others N-Drop. And maybe even a little Kamichama Karin. Point is, that it'll remind you of another show.
Sound (Very Good)
The sound, like the art quality is very clear and 'magical' as one would expect from a magical girl anime. Complete with their own transformation song/sounds to all the comedy antics one is used to when watching this show. I didn't feel any annoyance toward any sound and I (again) love the OP and ED song of this show. Very happy, catchy little melody with some engrish for some extra kick. The seiyus were all spot on. I can even say that they did a damn good (aka hilarious) job on Moetan Corner. I can watch that segment over and over and its still pretty funny.
Character (Good)
The magical girl characters are all typical moe branded type girls. But they do add a little 'extra' to them to separate themselves from the rest. For instance, Ink's left (sometimes right) sock always falls down. Sumi's ahoge makes little emoticons to show her emotion which was really cute. And Alice's sidekick is just too much its fantastic. There are other characters around but they're a pretty forgettable bunch, except for the animals. You'll see what i mean if you get a chance to watch it.
Enjoyment (Good)
Overall if you're all into the "cute moe loli" thing than this show is a barrel of fun. But if you don't like the slightly ecchi loli thing, then try something else. As an acquaintance in a chartroom told me "Its disgusting." Personally i think what he said was a little overboard.
