Pita Ten

I didn't very much care for this show but from an analytical standpoint this show has a lot going for it. Also, please read this before passing judgment on my score thank you.

First off, the story is obviously geared toward a younger viewing audience. It's a simple premise of an angel in training coming down from heaven. Her main goal is to train to become a full grown angel, but of course, things don't go the straight and narrow. They'll get caught in all sorts of crazy high jinks and silly antics only a magical angel can make up. Obviously this isn't going to have a deep story line like Gunslinger Girl. But for an afternoon kids show this does serve up a decent amount of laughs.

The art doesn't look anywhere near as beautiful as the manga art. But none the less it has a hint of Di Gi Carat inspired work. Complete with black beady eyes on chibi looking characters. And like in Di Gi Carat, the art is pretty forgettable it look slike everyone in the Pita Ten universe are either ten years old or thirty years old.

Sound is very generic and below average. You'll manage to get all the typical comedy sound effects and songs, but thats all that you get. By episode 5 you've pretty much heard everything you are going to hear from this show.

Also reminiscant of di gi carat, how insanely high the cute factor is in this show. Sure giving a description of short beady eyed characters might remind people of Golum from LotR. But this happens to be the direct opposite. Each character has their own unique cuteness on one way or another. But what takes the cake though is the characters seiyu cast. If you take the time to look at the japanese seiyu's anime history you'd be surprised. Who know that C.C., Shinku, Emma, and Mai Kawasumi would appear together in a show like this. If anything good came out of this show, it would have to be how the seiyu's managed to star in a lot of todays hits.

As for myself, I didn't really care much about this show. All though I did watch this in it's entirety, I really wish i could get my 9 hours of my life back. Then why did I watch this show? For the most part I wanted to experience one of the early works of my favorite seiyus (the ones I mentioned before). Although I did like the voice acting, the characters themselves were really a disappointment. Overall, this was a show strictly for kids, if you want to watch a fun anime with a childish sense of humor watch this. Anyone else, avoid it with the only exception of observing your favorite seiyus early work. read more

Pita Ten is a slice of life comedy kind of show. I found the characters to be the most enjoyable part of the show. It comes off as being silly a lot of the time. However it also has some more serious elements as well. If you have read the manga (I highly hope that you will read it.) you will notice the show is much more light hearted and quite a bit different.

I also enjoyed the Designs very much. if you like Digi Charat the artist who created those characters also made Pita Ten.
