Pic of the day: The main character of Pugyuru introduces herself. (Oh, and that's Cheko, not Cneko. Very important difference. ^^)

Pugyuru

Well, my hand hurts and my throat is not too good either, so this seems like a good opportunity to skip a day. Especially since the most interesting thing that happened was watching the anime Pugyuru, a collection of short sketchy scenes about a foot-high, naked, elastic, starfish-shaped, battery-operated maid. Yeah, it is as weird as it sounds, if not more so. I've elsewhere described it as "like acid for your kids". Violent, absurd, indecent at random times (for reasons unknown, in Japanese entertainment maids and nurses are supposed to be stereotypes of indecency), the series is entertaining simply because it is so absurd and unpredictable. If you like Roald Dahl (the writer), you may want to take a look at Pugyuru. Otherwise not, I guess.
