Never judge an anime by its cover
18 January 2008
All I could say at the end was, "Wow! Just...wow." The statement on the DVD cover said it best: "If this anime doesn't offend you in some way, we haven't done our job." Although this two-episode "series" takes most of its pokes at Excel Saga (also brought to us by Watanabe-sempai), you don't have to really know anything about that series to be almost horrified at the bawdy and raucous humor of Puni Puni Poemy.

It usually takes more than a randomly-exploding, hyper-speed-talking, super-heroine-morphing, aspiring voice actress (she sucks at it, incidentally) to make my jaw hit the floor. It wasn't even the gratuitous sexual references or nudity which drove me over the cliff. Never mind the twin testicle-swinging aliens and tentacle family. No, there is more - MUCH more going on in this title than can possibly be explained within the course of a written article. Even if I could encapsulate it all, the description would still pale in comparison to the actual experience.

Seriously, prepare to be shocked at what you find yourself laughing at when watching Puni Puni Poemi. You'll never look at "conventional" humor the same way afterward.
