Panda Kopanda

Panda Kopanda is the story of Mimiko, a little girl who gained the companionship of two pandas after her grandmother left on a trip. The story about this funny family is very cute and happy-go-lucky.

The art is the same style as My Neighbor Totoro, and the backgrounds are quite detailed. The characters have flat coloring for the most part, but I think it fits with how they are drawn.

The opening/ending song makes an apperance in the actual anime, unlike most anime I've seen. The music picked for the scenes fits very well, and some scenes don't have background music. Sound effects like chewing and rain make up for the lack of background music. Both the sound effects and music add to the anime.

There are many characters, but Mimiko and the pandas are the main ones. The background characters all look a bit different, instead of just being a sea of similar faces.

I throughly enjoyed both movies. As a lover of all that is cute, an anime about pandas was perfect for me. The movies are only a little over 30 minutes long each, so they don't drag out, but have enough action for the short time used.

Overall, I think anyone who likes My Neighbor Totoro or cute things would like this, and it is appropriate for all ages. read more
