Di Gi Charat

This is peak fiction, I haven't come across any other anime that can compare to this. The way Di gi Charat is written is genius in that it ascends the general rubric for anime and I had to evaluate it in a way different from any other series. The character designs for Dejiko, Puchiko, and Usada are peak moe and the citizens of akihabara being represented as anthropomorphic thumbs is a great metaphor for how the city is a hub for gamers. The comedy is a great mix of surreal humor and satire. All in all a great show if you're pretty acquainted with anime andlove silly humor.

It is impossible to take Di Gi Charat 100% seriously. Firstly, there is no linear narrative -- each episode is a vignette with the established characters in a new situation (but not necessarily a different setting). And secondly, the script is so insane, the writers were definitely having a riot making this stuff up. There is no mistaking this for a serious entry into the anime records. This was one of the first anime series I watched start to finish as a teenager, and it blew my mind. With only a handful of animes under my belt, I'd seen enough to be very familiar with severalanime cliches (namely melodramatic dialogue and anticlimactic storytelling), and as such, I watched Di Gi Charat with the understanding that it was a satire on the whole genre. I'm surprised to find that it wasn't designed as a satire, but was simply a whacky comedy that employed common anime elements in bizarre situations. But I still watch it and think "yeah, anime IS ridiculous". Each episode would have a different tone from the last, either emulating an action-packed thriller, a supernatural drama, or a melodramatic slice of life, and sometimes even nothing in particular (which was just as hilarious). What also convinced me it was a parody was that the design of characters and animation would suddenly shift into an over-the-top 80's shounen or shoujo style that further punctuated the absurdity. The cast of side characters were all caricatures, that we can all agree on, but I was also under the impression that the three main characters, Dejiko, Petite Charat, and Usada (yeah she hates that name) were also parodies of the "moe" style. The fact that they're sincerely designed characters makes me laugh. Oh, anime! I understand not everyone is as cynical as I am when it comes to anime, so not everyone will see Di Gi Charact as a parody, but I imagine overlooking the moments that could be interpreted as satire would make the show seem kinda bland. Either way, I highly recommend watching this series with friends late at night, as sharing in the confusion will add to the fun.

Di gi charat, I barely know the order to watch the anime so I thought starting from here was good -Story 7/10- Look the story was really nice, and they even added some other fun yet casual elements. Sadly I put a 7 (seven) because we don't see the characters at said shop in every episode, the fact that they're working in a shop feels like a not important detail -Art 8/10- Main characters had pleasant designs. The background characters is what bothered me. Look if I were an alien wo came at planet earth and saw that everyone there was like a bean and I were the onlyhuman looking I would feel uncomfortable -Sound 9/10- The op and VAs are really good, there is no ending, the op is the first 40 seconds of each episode -Character 8/10- The characters don't have a lot of depth, well they have some personality but still they lack some depth. I didn't watch the show in order to see character development so I don't bother -Enjoyment 9/10- The anime is really good if you look for something to binge watch at 3 am. There were quite a few jokes at which personally didn't really laugh. Yes, it was the type of jokes that are ment to fill in the silence -Overall 9/10- Would recomend to someone as a first anime. The style brings nostalgia not gonna lie, The official art is realy good I would recomend taking a look at it. If you're looking for a meaningful show, it ain't here
