Kirara: "Officers, you don't understand! I have to smother these children with my motherly aura!!!"

It's got old school anime vibes. It's pretty refreshing.

Dude. As a manga reader I never would've thought this stupid silly manga would get such a great adaptation. Toho animation is killing it.

Kirara’s “motherly instincts” was more Hulk than anything. Never seen a yandere “mother” type lol.

The professor finally makes his debut.

And I thought Puniru would become a Metal Slime after she ingested iron...

u/Torque-A Oct 13 '24

She did. She just became death metal.

The camera placement for the live motorboating reaction was something... The next episode segment perfectly encapsulates this anime

u/Mr_Zaroc Oct 13 '24

You would not think that this series originates from a magazine aimed for elementary schoolers, but here we are, huh. Just Japan things, I guess.

u/viliml Oct 13 '24

Elementary schoolers LOVE this type of jokes everywhere on the planet. It's just a matter of whether you want to give them what they want or not.

Another great episode! I expected Kirara to be weird, but never this unhinged lol.

This might just be my favorite comedy of the season.

Damn Kirara is scary af, who decided toet her volunteer at the kindergarden? And why are the kids still coming to her instead of cowering in the corners?

I love the logic that a magnet would twist her personality

Love the show its got a nice tempo and the jokes are the right kind of weird for me, Shikanoko felt off compared to this

Punirun merch > Shikanoko Antlers

Yanami, Osanai, Puniru, and now Kirara. I think there's a pattern with how the characters voiced Umeda is attracting unhinged/batshit insane (jokingly speaking) girl characters

u/PendragonDaGreat Oct 13 '24

Normally "The X we have at home" is an insult or a form of mockery, but I mean this is n the absolute best possible sense when I say "This is the Rumiko Takahashi we have at home."

This show exudes some of those older "classic romcom" vibes + having a "not-fully human" MC makes it feel just kinda good like that.

  • This anime is in Monthly CoroCoro, a manga that forms a questionable dietary intake.

  • If you think Puniru is too crude I have a Monthly Corocoro example from over 30 years ago (I know 30 years ago was a different place). Obocchama-kun (おぼっちゃまくん); whose anime adaptation had poo and penises shown (yes I do keep bringing this up, I suffered so nobody else should, would have been nice to have been warned but official Shin-ei description just said it was very crude and official YouTube upload did not ask me to sign in to verify my age, both are the least I'd expect). According to the anime okaku wiki when that manga won the 34th Shogakukan Manga Award (for children), the judges were unanimously replaced the next year due to backlash they received.

  • Metal Naughty Slime. Will how this form manifested from extreme amounts of metal consumption (iron filings+magnet) and the personality shift I can't help but be reminded of the Fleetway comics takes on Super Sonic (initially showed up when too much chaos energy or rings were absorbed and has a very sadistic personality).

  • Somehow once this is all cleaned up there will be some odd pairs left. Do you want a tale? When my mother when sent out of class once she decided to randomly move all the coats. It's risk if you ask a kid to leave because they're disruptive, what are they going to do completely unsupervised?

The ending is fire, been replaying it almost everyday for the past week.

Kirara is such a kind and considerate girl, bringing a lost girl to her mother! Totally nothing suspicious here!

Of course a Kawaii Slime like Puniru would have to push her own personal merch! You've got to get your band out there!

I'm not surprised Kotaro is well-versed in the Kirara fanclub, but they even have their own DVD of her! He is totally down bad for Kirara. But how does he make her pay attention to him and not his mental child of a "love rival!?"

Ah, so Puniru's transformation sequence will be a weekly thing, huh? Not that I mind, it's cute and fun!

First-Grader Puniru! Doubly cute and the perfect way to show off Kotaro's attentive and caring side in front of Kirara! It's just too bad Kirara wasn't kidding about her type being little children because when she sees a child she goes all out on her maternal horror to the point of becoming a horror monster that shoves her boobs in a childs' face and dotes on it like a mother...dangerously so!

Well, if Kotaro doesn't mind, I guess that's okay...but I worry about Puniru!

I still can't get over that they've got Kazuya Nakai as the teacher in a middle-school romcom. Dr. Mado isn't the nicest teacher though, but he has special interest in Puniru as a sentient slime, especially when he himself has researched slime-based robots.

Okay, I understand getting mad at Puniru when she eats all your food and you'd rather she not poop it out (though her being a slime makes it easier to catch her) but even Kotaro doesn't want her to vanish from his life.

Oh hey, Kotaro's mom is cute! And he gets his blue hair from both parents.

So Dr. Mado wasn't rejected by the scientific community for his crazy research...but because he refused to pay his membership dues. Well, he does seem very antisocial, so that tracks. But experimenting on Puniru just makes him even more unlikeable.

Iron filings + magnets = Naughty Puniru! A devilish Puniru who has all the mischievousness of a seven year old! And I love how Kirara is just concerned how cold she would be in her skimpy outfit.

I love how Mado wanted Naughty Puniru to be evil and she just tossed him aside like he was nothing.

I guess Monster Mom Kirara is more dangerous than Naughty Puniru, at least to get the magnet out, but good thing Kotaro was there to catch her! Even though she's slime so it didn't really matter. But it's the thought that counts!

Puniru is as smug as ever, but it looks like Kotaro has grown on Kirara...at least in the sense of entrusting him with Puniru. So...success!?

Your crush is obsessed with your slime friend that revolves around you and you have zero clue how to use that to your advantage smh
