The first 4 episodes were extremely promising, but unfortunately they took a wrong turn.
Given that every episode is 3 minutes, it made episodes 5-13 more bearable than they otherwise would have been.
The show essentially follows this format:
Highschoolers (divided into nerds and bullies) have a mundane problem. This mundane problem then becomes the core idea of a life lesson. In this case, an elderly gentleman, and eventually others including the school principle, shows up and summons a fart from his rectum. This fart is a deep-thinking philosopher who addresses the situation and helps the highschoolers out of it by instructing them and giving them a valuable
...
lesson. The number of wise farts increases over time and advice is then given by multiple farts.
The first 3 episodes started out this way:
Elderly fart addresses a physiological problem and educates the viewers about human anatomy
Same thing as episode 1 but with another problem
A new female fart appears and corrects the elderly fart by suggesting that this time, the problem isn't physiological but psychological instead (the topic was love)
Based on those 3 episodes, you would think that the show would use male-fart to teach the viewers about human anatomy/physiological processes and use female-fart to teach the viewers about human emotions/psychology.
Unfortunately, it started diluting the stories, less lessons were offered to the viewer, more farts joined the show and started to become subjects in the show themselves, rather than being the ones who are wise. You started seeing the lives of these farts and live their little problems, which was honestly not very entertaining after having been shown once already.
Art-wise, it's fairly detailed and has a pencil-strokes like style with static, low fps, paper animations. It has a style similar to what you'd except from one of those Youtube parody animations. It's very caricatural as you can imagine. The expressions are exagerated by either being overly stoic or being overly expressive.
They also have an odd music video outro with real people and a CGI version of the wise fart that made the whole thing feel more official than it originally fely like.
The show is basically one whole parody/joke show taken to TV-level production.
Overall, I can only rate this as a "short film"/"video" type of anime. The first 4 episodes were enjoyable, the rest went downhill very fast. Started out top echellon, but it's counter-balanced by the rest, so I'll give it an average rating of 5/10.
