You automatically temper your expectations when a company hires a studio to produce an anime as an advertisement for their business. Madhouse took free reign and whole hog license with DiGiCharat to do whatever they wanted, pull out every stop that exists, and debut some unreal talent with Miyuki Sawashiro. On top of that, they pull in Megumi Hayashibara fresh off her starring role as Faye Valentine in Cowboy Bebop to play Piyoko. Who even does that?

The definitive Di Gi Charat Special experience is the 144p EP Vhs rip, you will be hard pressed to find anything else and that's just okay. It's the ... only way these obscure things were ever going to make it stateside anyway.

Good satire of the American otaku of the late 20th century in this special, have fun with that.

This is Toshiki Inoue's 4th best writing work behind Faiz, Mechanical Violator Hakaider, and most episodes of Galaxy Angel.

It's odd isn't it? What is the legendary Inoue doing writing the kiddy spinoff of Di Gi Charat? Meaningful content, that's what he's doing. This is a very different series from Di Gi Charat and Nyo~. There is a more earnest weight to the younger versions of the characters and their little quests to better their planet. This is a very important anime within the larger Dejiko sphere of influence.

Also MadHouse pulls off a slick move every once in a while during all of these series that ... leaves you wondering what you're watching at all.

Miyuki Sawashiro fans must watch all of DiGiCharat to see her roots in the industry. Puchiko's voice and character are interesting, aren't they? It's not what anyone would ever expect! And DiGiCharat is one of the only avenues to enjoy Asami Sanada's ear splitting screeching so don't miss it. Also Megumi Hayashibara as Piyocola Analogue III. These are important people.
