![]() ![]() There are a lot of gags throughout the show and these work well against our central duo, especially as they’re so different in their outlooks on life. It’s an absolutely bizarre scene and I’m not quite sure glorifying death in this way is what Gudetama was trying to achieve.īeyond that though, Gudetama has a playful sense of humour and some of the jokes are genuinely funny. Eventually he’s gobbled down and eaten by grandmother farmer. He also manages to get out of trouble a lot thanks to plot contrivances (evidenced in episode 4 when he survives splatting on the pavement at the last second).īy the end, Gudetama is encouraged to basically kill himself and choose what way to do that. Gudetama wants to die (be eaten) all the way through the show and throughout the 10 episodes, he does very little other than tag along for the ride and try to eat soy sauce. Usually we wouldn’t spoil the ending in a review like this but it’s worth pointing out because the themes and messaging in Gudetama are… subjective, to say the least, and it’s something parents should definitely be aware of. These polar opposite creatures end up getting into all sorts of mishaps – even meeting the Prime Minister! The real stand-out moments though are when Shakipiyo and Gudetama meet likeminded food but the show does run out of steam before it hits the final episode. Counteracting that though is Shakipiyo who wants to meet their mother and discover what life is all about.Īs a result, the pair end up leaving the refrigerator and head out into the wider world. A lethargic lazy egg is hatched called Gudetama, who’s determined just to wait for his death and lounge about all day. The story begins in a sushi restaurant before progressively becoming more expansive as the 10 episodes evolve. The animation though is great and the voice acting decent, even if the narrative is a bit shaky at times. I do appreciate this is tailored for kids and you definitely need to leverage your expectations with this one accordingly. ![]() Gudetama is an absolutely bizarre show that starts off as a quirky adventure and soon turns into a surreal fever dream. What a Drag… So Dizzy Is That the Best This Country Has to Offer? Ahhhh You’re Rotten to the Core What a Cool Mascot How Many Eggs are in that Omelet?
