Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
The fun of summer is something that the show has focused on a bit lately, but it’s also one where it can be problematic as we see here with the weather. While it starts off pleasant with some cloud gazing that shows off some amusing Poyo-ness, it changes fairly quickly as the heat rolls in, the thunder starts and the heavy rains come down, which sends the animals into a small panic. Including Tsuku, who shows up with his owner all drenched, which leads to some very cute moments between her and Hide. Of course, it doesn’t take long for Hide to become the butt of some Poyo jokes which makes Hide into little more than a minion….
In Summary:
While it’s focused around the weather and the panic of the storm in a way, it’s a pretty relaxed episode outside of the animals excitement at first. Moe has some cute moments and definitely puts Tsuku’s owner in a pinch in a way, or rather not since the clothing is so baggy. I also liked that we get a small bit involving Papa Sato talking about the kinds of fruits he’ll want to grow once things get too hot in the area in the future and he has to shift to something more tropical. Poyo has a lot of great expressiveness here and that just makes you grin throughout the episode.
