The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
It may be sad but it’s true in that most pet owners (hell, most parents!) will find time to sit down with people, friends and strangers, and go on about the kinds of weird things their pets do. This is shown to good effect here as Moe goes on about the comical things that Poyo does which are kind of common to cats, such as scratching things and finding curious places to curl up and sleep. Poyo has a few physical quirks because of his size but he also goes the distance in other areas, such as taking a fish out of the freezer and crunching away at it. Kuro gets some time as well but we also get to see one of Hide’s friends who has a dog and even a hamster named Daifuku thta another has. The weirdest of them all has to be Moe though when you get down to it but that was practically a given from the start.
In Summary:
Having had a lot of friends over the years with pets, having pets myself my entire life and then doubling down with kids, these kinds of things are definitely fun to deal with and expose. Especially since someone always goes too far in revealing a quirk of their pets (or kids, or their own) and just leaving everyone else weirded out. We get that here with some good, cute stuff with all the pets and then Moe takes the cake. Poyo gets most of the focus which is good as Poyo needs more time, but it also runs the gamut a bit with some other pets and their oddities and how it panics or freaks out their owners. Cute, simple and very fun.
