With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anime fans and people who need a good giggle. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark. Liked In a Heartbeat? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Ataru learns to think before he eats when he gobbles down some of Lum's Cherry Rice Cakes -- and promptly starts turning into a wolf!
