Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken

What can I say about this dumb OAV? What the heck am I watching? This is really pissing me off. It's worse than Full Moon o Sagashite, which is actually pretty good in my opinion but I'm more of a fan of action and adventure. I feel like this OAV is trying to brainwash me and sometimes to think it's good. This OAV is good for babies and toddlers, I do not think that anyone over the age of about 4 can stand this. The title card is childish! So this OAV is about Mitsuki who oversleeps through her television interview and now she must get tothe interview as Full Moon as fast as she can! I don't think this is a bad idea but this is just completely pointless with some random parts to it. It reminds me of the adventures Mitsuki, Takuto, and Meroko had in the series which isn't anything like them, therefore just cutesy. This isn't even completely like Full Moon o Sagashite. The art and animation are almost completely different even when I read the title, it said Cute Cute Adventure and I thought it was supposed to be interesting because it represents the cuteness of the anime? Plus, it was supposed to be even cuter? Looking at the poster, it makes me even more confident that this was supposed to be even cuter. And when I watched it, this is exactly what I thought, even cuter! Why make it even cuter? The characters were already too cutesy without having to make them even more cutesy! I can hardly remember the music but I remember it being repetitive! I think Mitsuki has a different voice actor because now she sounds like a cutesy anime ten-year-old! What happened to myco? The voice acting was perfect in the series. I think Mitsuki is stupider than she used to be. Why didn't she just go find Takuto and Meroko and ask them to transform her into a teenager instead of trying to sneak in? Even Takuto and Meroko are stupid. Everybody is now different. I must stop writing this review, thinking about this OAV is starting to bore me aside from the series though, while annoying wasn't too bad or much too annoying, it even managed to be quite memorable. This is like even more annoying, how I'm rating it. The series was a beautiful childhood memory now crushed because of this pointless OAV even if the ending was alright. I'm glad it was short. This OAV is so unbelievably unmemorable, everything about it except for the story is, it can even be quickly forgotten. I even forgot the dialogue quickly, part of the reason is because the characters were talking so fast. Just watch the show, it's more fun instead of wasting your time on this OAV.

Eh, it’s cute enough. This is pretty much just a filler OVA, so I’d only recommend it if you REALLY love Full Moon wo sagashite and want a little snippet of extra content (based on the story, I’d assume this is set within the first 10 episodes or so). I don’t exactly get why they couldn’t transform into their normal Shinigami forms and fly there (subsequently avoiding the dog and bird mishaps), but this little adventure is otherwise alright. Plus, I have to give it props for not being particularly fan-servicey like most OVAs of the same nature. Overall, I’d give this a 6.5 (rounded to 7)/10.Definitely not necessary, but a decent watch if you like the main series.

I really don't understand the hostility towards this special. For some reason, Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken seems to have brought together every hater the base Full Moon anime seems to have as the quality of this special emision isn't actually that different to that of the aforementioned series. From looking a the reviews, one would assume it to be vastly inferior, however. Which is the thing I already mentioned don't understand at the opening of my parragraphs. And sure, the plot of this episode might not make much sense, all things considered. Should Takuto and Meroko utilized their powers to turn themselves from theirstuffed animal to proper Shinigami form the whole travesty that was special could have been avoided. But otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten our "Cute Cute Adventure", wouldn't be? People somethimes forget this anime as a whole was made with a rather juvenile audience in mind, and these type of audience will generally prioritize having fun with what they are watching rather than those IPs making perfect sense as determined by the mind of their adults counterparts (who I suppose are the ones writting the reviews, to begin with). What I am trying to get at is that people should chill out somethimes, lay back and just have fun! Seriously, just how better the world would become if everyone wasn't affraid to do that at least every once in a while? Now, speaking of the special itself: if you look through my profile you'll realize I generally rate other specials or any IP who derivers from the main series really lower that is base property; this wasn't the with Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken, however. For its short duration Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken proved to be exceptionally entertaining on what it tries to achieve. Its story is quite straigh-forward: Mitsuki awokens late for a photoshoot she had scheduled with the VillagePro people and on her hurry she forgets both Takuto and Meroko back at home, beign unable to transform into Full Moon without them that way. Afterwards we see the Shinigami due desperately try to reach their human companion while in their stuffed animal form. On their journey, they have to deal with angry dogs who try to attack them, hungry birds who take them away to who-knows-where and even at some point end-up washed away in some drain wich ends with the real footage of a waterfall beign shown! (Which I believe was included because it would be too costly to animate otherwise, but is a nice addition, none the less, lol). Strangely enough, the part I most enjoyed about this special might have been its ending credits, believe it or not. And not because I was "anxious for it to end", but rather because it featured a very nice vocal-performance song that reminds me of older pieces from the '60s and '70s. Reminds us really that "old" music such as that one that coexist with "newer" compositions such as the ones featured on this show. My only regret when watching this episode, however, was assuming it took place after the ending of its base anime and as such saved it for the end; spoiler: it doesn't. This special takes place around 10-ish episodes into the series or so, so take that into consideration when beginning to watch it and don't commit the same mistake I commited when watching it. Overall: a very nice addition to the Full Moon series and, altough a non-obligatory watch for those interested in the IP, it sure as hell makes for a nice experience and it only takes 12 minutes of your time to complete it. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and watch Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken, you won't regret it afterwards!
