Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Well, not really a recap in the proper sense, but the show in its second episode gives us a quick look at the events of the first episode with how Poyo made her entrance into the Sato household after Moe’s drunken night on the town. Poyo definitely fits into the household as we saw previously and this episode works to cement her position there a bit more and to get us to see how the other family members are adapting since it’s all from Moe’s view. Hide in particular is comical because as Moe’s brother, we see that he’s essentially the same as the cat as the two just get on each other’s nerves easily and have many of the same patterns, from how the sleep to how they breathe and more. Hide’s definitely some good comedy material here and his constant grating with Poyo is a very fun spot. The same can be said of Papa Sato in a different way as we get to hear more of his legendary strength here, which is well paired with the way his facial design is done. Seeing him lifting all the seedbeds when his son can handle only a few makes you grin, but even more so when you see him doing it when he leans over and Poyo gets on his back and decides to nap there. His legend only grows and grows and grows…
In Summary:
Poyopoyo has a good second episode overall, even if it does start with the quickie recap of what happened the last time. Poyo is definitely a very cute cat and the cats relationship with Moe is one of the fun aspects of it since the two are so alike in their own way. But Poyo has ingratiated herself into the household very easily since coming there as we see that Papa has taken to her quite well and even Hide has started to come around a little bit, mostly because they’re a bird of the same feather in a lot of ways. The show definitely has plenty of cute moments and enough to make me wish it was twice as long to be able to really do something fun with it instead of just under three minutes.
