Synopsis

Oscar is a lizard living in a non-specific desert that has features from several different real deserts, like the Sahara, Kalahari Desert, and North American deserts. An asphalt concrete highway runs through the area, used from time to time by various cargo trucks. Oscar is generally searching for food or water; he sometimes discovers liquid, in bottles or elsewhere, but is usually frustrated from recovering it for drink. An oasis supplies the only fresh water in the area, but its thick population of irascible and hungry crocodiles renders it inaccessible. At considerable personal risk (lizard is a delicacy for chickens), Oscar occasionally manages to steal an egg from a nearby hen coop, and he sometimes explores one of the piles of trash that litter the parched landscape. Popy, a fennec fox; Buck, a vulture; and Harchi, a hyena, inhabit a derelict school bus situated on a neighboring hill, but they mostly race about on a cast-off warehouse or grocery cart powered by Harchi and directed by Popy. Like Oscar, the trio constantly search for food and water - often competing with him, sometimes abusing him as a means, but occasionally cooperating with him when it suits their purpose. The main characters often find themselves falling off cliffs a la Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner, wherein the law of gravity is briefly suspended while the character comes to realize their imminent doom. (Source: Wikipedia)

What. The. Hell. When I found out Oscar's Oasis was indeed an anime on myanimelist.net, I HAD to make a review for this childhood kino. It genuinely is quite surprising to hear that this is part Korean. I thought it was fully French, what a diverse world we live in. So I watched most of the series back in the day, but I have vivid memories of some events that took place, with it usually being the same thing over and over, I don't think I am missing out on a lot of stuff to talk about because ultimately, Oscar's Oasis is really just fun and games. It's an episodicseries, filled with funny characters, funny moments, funny situations, and generally everything needed to make for a good kids anime. 3D animation is the entire thing, but it has a good nostalgia call to it, even without, it's fine regardless, fits the theme well and there is seriously nothing jarring about it. The same goes for the sound here, pretty memorable soundtracks, some OST stick to me even today. Lack of actual dialogue but that just means this can be universally enjoyed. I remember talking rubbish about some of the logic here back when I was like 9 or 10 or something like that. Despite its lack of consistency (Oscar's tongue CAN go 50 meters and sprint 70 mph if he wanted to smh), I thought it was fun on the whole, even if sometimes very dumb. I'd watch this with the mindset as a child would, look for the dumb funny nonsense, and don't be a pseudointellectual like I was looking for the chef-d'œuvre in the form of artistic representation of Newton's Gravitation Law of Motion. 10/10 for being a great kids anime. It's no Oggy and the Cockroaches tho 🤷🤷.

This “Anime” is truly a masterpiece and worthy of your time. Through the 70 episodes you get to really appreciate the characters and how they develop. Especially Oscar, the way he grows and becomes a better person though the series is truly eye watering. The finale is so subtle that is hardy feels like a finale. I feel like most modern shows create this sense of urgency in making a good finale that wraps up every tiny detail. In this show we are left to assume that all the characters live on the same as we see through out the show, we don’t need tosee the end because this is life, the end is when we leave this world and even then maybe we have a sequel when we go to the afterlife. Or maybe its a kids show that should not be on MAL, but I watched it as a kid and I thought it was funny.

Peak show for its time till today still it is. the only Flaw was the story stucks between them only and not making any more progression to the why how and what the lore behind oscar oasis. The animation is superb, simple yet entertaining . the music and scoring also makes you want more. these kind of show is to why larva is a success as an animated series. the characters design very effectively simple yet unique, its not like another pixar or disney characters. however as i mentioned before, these kind of show doesnt need a lore or story as to why or how,it just need a layer of comedical act from the visuals and music, as to there is no dialogue this show is part of my childhood and growing up now then i realised we got none of these kinds of anymore.
