Title (English) Super Milk-chan

Title (Japanese) Super Milk-chan

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Number of episodes: 14 (5 min.)

Classification -

Synopsis What is the show about? Well, that's probably not an applicable question, but lets just say that it is about a little girl in a Jetsons outfit who likes milk, a President who looks like an escapee from "Ren and Stimpy", and sundry other characters who seem to have escaped from various Salvador Dali paintings. There are tons of non-stop sight gags, bad puns and maddenly repetitive telephone routines which I am guessing are based upon classic Japanese stage comedy routines.
What was this episode about? Well, all of the above comments apply, with the additional bit that the President had a nightmare about being beheaded by a bunch of KKK-types and when he woke up he pushed the "red button" and launched a missile. He then called Milk-chan and tried to get her to help, but his conversation with her turned into an exercise in existential Dadaism until the missile came back to go through the President's building. But don't assume from this description that there is really any sort of coherent plot.

Review When I first saw some ads for it I dismissed it as just another "little kids" show with futuristic clothing for the characters. But right from the opening I saw that I was VERY wrong. I am still grappling with how to describe the show - my best effort at this point is to say it is a very twisted take on the "Jetsons" crossed with "South Park" and "Mad TV" but done by someone on very bad drugs!!! This is definitely not a show to watch while drinking too many Corona's ( or whatever your favorite brew happens to be ).
I'm still shaking my head at the whole thing, and I suspect that a lot of people won't like it at all, but I'm already "in love" with "Super Milk-chan". BTW - the animation in this show runs the entire gamete, from very good and intricate scenes with lots of motion to almost primitive 60's-style sets, with lots of totally irrelevant film clips added in.
Consider this sort of a "public service announcement"
I just finished watching the last episode of "Super Milk-chan", the extraordinarily bizarre sci-fi/Dadaist/farce that Pioneer somehow convinced Wowow to play during the supper hour the last couple of months. I've tried to describe the inane craziness of this show before without a lot of success - suffice to say that this parody of anime, TV and life in general will probably not be many people's "cup of cha", but if you like bad jokes, repetition to the point of insanity and a Tom Greene-type approach to comedy you may very well enjoy this show as much as I did.
To give you a couple of examples of how this 12 part series went - first of all, it is very important to realize that there is nothing at all resembling any sort of plot or continuity. Each episode is an experiment in itself, like a series of improvs at a comedy club. So, for instance, in the second to last episode, the show was introduced by the "producer", a live action actor with a third eye in the middle of his forehead who was blandly speaking in an Indian dialect while inane Japanese subtitles followed his comments. The last episode was a series of dreams that the characters had, all of which may have been induced by a robotic "magic shitake" which was sending out hallucinogenic forces over the town ( or was that just Hanage's dream? ).
Milk-chan's dream was a good example of the humor of the series - she was playing the Luke Skywalker role in an X-fighter with Tatsuko playing R2D2. Instead of being a sphere, the "death star" was shaped like a partial torso, essentially from the waist down to the knees. Milk-chan, of course, had to fire a missile into the "slot" in the center of the torso.
You can get a bit of the "flavor" of "Super Milk-chan" at the official web site: http://www.supermilk-chan.com/
There is even an English page there which gives some of the background of the show and mentions that the "target audience" is essentially college-aged. You will even get an introduction from Milk-chan herself. -(Dave Baranyi)
I seem I must comment on this strange new anime series, which is being broadcasted from WOWOW Anime timeslot (Thursday). What I can comment right now was it's strange opening. Full of parodies of the past classic anime TV series. I could notice it in the following: # Alps no Shojo Heiji
# Araiguma Rascal(?)
# Shinzou Ningen Cashaan
# Mazinger-Z
# Majokko Megu-chan
# Kyojin no Hoshi/Samurai Giants (?)
# Furandasu no Inu
# Candy Candy
# Cutey Honey
# Ace o Nerae!
# Dokonjo Gaeru
# Devilman
# Ashita no Joe
Additions/corrections are welcome (^_^)
I have watched up to the 2nd episode and that wan't too bad. (CALCI)
