Popotan: Difference between revisions

'''''Popotan''''' is a 2003 [[Twelve-Episode Anime|12 episode anime]] by [[Studio Shaft]] based on the [[H-game]] of the same name. The story is about three sisters and their not-quite human maid Mea who live in [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday|a mysterious mansion/Christmas shop that hopscotches through space and time]] on a mystical quest guided by magical flowers. Notable for being both [[Ecchi|explicitly sexy]] and [[Kawaisa|extremely cutesy]] at the same time. The H-game version is an adult visual novel that covers much more material and characters.

 

 

Although the show is mostly a comedy, the overall tone varies from [[Tear Jerker|tearjerking]] to [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]]. Of course, that doesn't stop the show from including [[Panty Shot|panty]] and boob shots wherever it can. Add in the [[Lolicon|loli-appeal]] provided by Mii and the sometimes heart-wrenching effects the relentless transpositions have on Mai and it can make for a bit of a [[Mood Dissonance]] at times.

* [[It's All Junk]] -- Mai tries to burn the Konami's painting of her after learning of {{spoiler|her death}}, since she can't stand the memories.

* [[It's the Journey That Counts]]/[[The Un-Reveal]] -- The purpose and object of the journey are never revealed to the audience or the characters, even after {{spoiler|the sisters meet Shizuku}}.

** Ai refers to both of her younger sisters with the suffix "-chan".

** Mai calls Ai "Ai-nee", but Mii is simply called by her name.

** In the former case, starting from episode 6, Ai, Mai and Mea are shown doing the "butt wiggle dance" as well instead of just Mii.

** In the latter case, they are there from the start, along with Konami, Nono and {{spoiler|Shizuku}}. Daichi got screwed over, apparently.

* [[Punched Across the Room|Punched Out of the Room and Landing Several Meters Away From the House]] -- {{spoiler|How Keith deals with Daichi}}.

* [[Puni Plush]]
