Kuromi's Pretty Journey: Hacha Mecha! Multiverse Daidasshutsu!

I haven't watched any Hello Kitty(Unless you count the Gundam collab, yes, that is a thing).
This ONA only has 19 episode and each one is pretty short. The whole thing is less then 30 minutes.
In thoese 30 minutes it delivers a better coherent story then some anime with more then double the time.
This is all about Kuriomi so if you hate her you'll hate this but if you like her you'll like this.
She changes a bit, but still remains herself down to the core.
A nice sweet story that has quite a few references to other Hello Kitty stuff that doesn't take away from the experience.
It ... has a prequal but this can be watched by it self. You can even watch this first and then the prequal.

No spoilers in this review :3

Honestly not recommended to anybody at all. The colours are actually pretty nice; animation is limited but clean and never unpleasant to look at, but it's just so lobotomizing and tedious despite the 80 second episode runtime. I don't know how they do that! At 1.5x speed it's a little better, just in the sense that it's bearable plus it goes so quick you can liberate yourself from hearing it's nasty, horrid dialogue by tuning out with greater efficiency, but that's no way to treat a show you enjoy, is it? Because you don't enjoy this show.

Has this gross human ... male character who's either the worst husbando bait imaginable or exists to provide an audience conduit, and I seriously hope it's not the latter because imagine wanting to date Kuromi..ew. She's like 1 foot tall there's basically no woman there!! But honestly I think he, like every other element of this show, is just part of the script to this nasty, nasty however many episode advertisement, a list of requirements given to its creators that cannibalise any chance at all to make "art" (whatever that is) in this godforsaken industry. The characters make goofy faces or whatever so you can screencap them and tweet them at your 12 followers, and this will sell merch I guess.

I haaaate Kuromi, she's so annoying especially since her whole personality exists to market to a certain demographic; she's so cringe and insufferable and...ugh!!! I hate her!!!!!!!!!! If she was real I would take a hammer to her skull immediately, and I'm normally against animal cruelty :/ Just goes to show what media can do to someone.

Okay reading this back I feel kind of sad, I just imagined a hypothetical fan of this show who actually likes Kuromi and all her empty "character traits", and smiles at all the merchandise on screen. I'm sorry to that viewer!! I don't mean to invalidate anyone's experiences >_<
