Popotan Second Opinion
Ok, at the urging of Kabitzin I watched some episodes of Popotan. I pretty much arrived at a similar conclusion – if the producers had spent more time on plot instead of fanservice, they could have had a winner. The time travel episodes were my favorite, but unfortunately they comprise a measly percentage of the [...]
Popotan Review
Popotan is the first fully reviewed series for Sea Slugs! so I thought I should write a review of the series as a whole. Apologies for the massive Popotan spamming. Anyways, if I had to rate Popotan, I’d probably give it a 4/5. It was a very strong series overall, but I had to [...]
Popotan 12 (Final)
The series finally comes to an end, with satisfying results. I can’t say too much about the episode without major spoilers, but suffice to say it is a happy ending. Not without a lot of sadness and melancholy first, however. Most of the important loose ends are wrapped up, and I enjoyed the final episode. [...]

Popotan 11
Popotan bounces back with a vengeance this time, abandoning all that action garbage, and going back to thought-provoking discussions about the sisters’ journey. And bathing. Basically, much of this episode is the sisters talking while bathing. Shameless really, but if you’ve made it this far into Popotan, you’re probably de-sensitized to the fanservice by [...]

Popotan 10
I’m making a push to finish this series before I leave town on a business trip tomorrow. On this episode, we learn a lot more about Mare’s past. Apparently she used to be a maid for two strangely feminine, badly drawn brothers and something terrible happened to them. It had something to do with [...]

Popotan 09
Arg, I almost made it to 5 in a row before Kungfucious was able to end my tyranny! Anyway, Popotan 9 was a return to the stuff that makes this series so enjoyable. Although it started out very lighthearted (as the sisters wonder if Mai has a child out of wedlock!), don’t be fooled; [...]

Popotan 08
Episode 8 was a filler episode, as the sisters show Nono and her grumpy grampa the meaning of Christmas. It had nothing to do with the series, but even the filler on this show is pretty entertaining. I noticed that the sisters have yet to sell a single item in their shop, although [...]

Popotan 07
More time warping madness, as the mansion teleports 30 years into the future this time. On the beach, the girls encounter Daichi, the camera kid from episode 1, who’s older and a dad. His wife looks like the girl he liked from episode 1 too, so looks like his camera stunt was successful. [...]

Popotan 06
Wow, talk about ask and you shall receive. Last time I had been hoping for more story and less bathing, and episode 6 came through in a big way. Only one short bathing scene and tons of plot advancement. This time, instead of warping to a different location, it seems that the [...]

Popotan 05
In the mostly shamelessly fanservice-filled episode to date, the sisters find a strangely bossy and talkative dandelion near some hot springs. This extroverted popotan demands that Mare, Mai, Ai, and Mii enter a bikini contest, play ping pong, and visit tons of onsens (including the bustu uppu onsen that Mai and Mare are [...]

Popotan 04
This time we get another return to seriousness, as Mare encounters the ghost of a lonely child in a deserted village. The ghostly girl tries to keep the sisters with her by putting them all to sleep, and in doing so reveals their deepest wishes! Mii obviously wants to be a magical girl, [...]

Popotan 03
Mii decides that she wants to be a mahou shoujo (magical girl) to be just like TV heroine Lilo. She gets an outfit and hammer, and she is totally cosplaying (not, however, cospraying). The magical girl spoofing is pretty entertaining, and comes complete with stock footage. In addition to saving a balloon, [...]
