I'll be honest, when i first heard about this Anime, I thought it was a joke, especially with the low budget CGI. But since this show was gaining popularity so quickly, I'd thought i would give it a try too. After watching the first episode I thought...it was okay, better than I expected. After watching episodes 2 and 3 I thought it was getting better. By episode 7....I finally understood.
This Anime is more than just a show aimed towards a younger audience, This is a show that takes you on a whimsical adventure with well designed settings and amazingly well thought out characters. Don't
...
let the clunky slightly awkward 3D animation fool you, this is an Anime in it's own league.
What I love about this anime is it's Story, Setting and Characters. Sure the animation is a bit strange, but it's definitely something you can get used to the more you watch, but for what they have to present, the characters and settings are very well designed. You've got wide open savannahs, vine filled jungles, gorgeous country-styled lakes and rivers, brimming deserts and even a snowy tundra area complete with a hot-tub spot
The Characters are what definitely sells me on this, I love cute animals, and with the cast they were able to fit in this 12 episode season were phenomenol choices and creations. Most of these "Friends" have unique personalities and traits that are based on their animal of origin, leading to a ton of fun possibilities with interractions between them and our main characters and setting up fun situations for our heroines to go through. For example, the wise owl duo enjoy being humanoids but wish to experience more with what they couldn't do as normal owls like enjoying a fully cooked meal, so they have Kaban cook for them in exchange for info about who she is.
My favorite characters are Serval, American Beaver, Prarie Dog, Alpaca, Northern White-faced Owl, Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Silver Fox, Sakhalin Fox and Margay.
And finally one of the best parts of this show is that it teaches you about Animals and Wildlife, mostly about things you probably wouldn't have known unless you were a Zoologist. I personally had no idea what a Serval was before watching this show, now i'm practically obsessed with these things.
If you do plan to watch this show, keep in mind that it will start out a bit slow, give it about until episodes 3-5 to hook you in, and enjoy
