Anime is known for being, how could you say, weird--a lie of course, anime has a talent to be thought provoking when it wants to be. Neon Genesis is an excellent example of what can be done in the form of a cartoon directed towards kids; death around corner, or episode, lots of mind fuck alley sequences and making you realise Shinji might've been better off under a drug enduced coma for all the good he could actually do in a fight. But where am I? I'm talking about the side of anime that kind of supports its great weird factor.

Oruchuban Edichu is about the daily struggle of Ebichu, a talking hamster who ends up being beaten senseless in every single episode of this beautifully violent series. Consider it South Park, Family Guy and anything on Adult Swim turned into anime staring a hamster from Hamtro (if you don't know that, then I'm hardly surprised), the demented hillarity doesn't end easily through 24 episode of anime that could easily match South Park for the 18 rating and more--tell me the last time South Park abused a hamster, never!

Abuse doesn't stop and the first episode easily sums up the entire series in the first minute--a hamster being pucnhed makes that easy and oddly calming to watch.....while laughing at another episode pushing it to a new level of LOL!
