Hal & Bons

Well I didnt really know what to expect when i watched this. based on the first episode alone i thought it was rather unique. kinda weird characters (especially the talking mochi). But my initial response to this CG show was rather decent. but..... it got old fast.

Story: Well there really isnt a story. the 3 characters sit/stand on a couch and talk about random things. some comments were funny but overall it got really old really fast.

Art: Hmm well the CG was kinda half-heartedly put together. there really isnt a whole lot of motion to speak of. essentially you dont need to even look at the video, if you can remember the three character voices, you can simply listen to the audio.

Sound: Hmm.... It honestly sounds like 2 of the main characters are drunk throughout the entire series, which i guess makes sense because all the characters do is drink beer and make critical comments on mochi-kun. I actually rather enjoyed the opening. it is a tad childish but it has a certain charm to it.

Characters: Initially i thought they all seemed pretty amusing, but oddly enough by the end of it i genuinely hated the two dogs. They just seem like a**holes. Mochi-kun was decent but got kind of annoying as well.

Enjoyment: As a series it was pretty bad, but if you were to watch one episode and one only you might sort of like it. the series is kinda odd like that.

Overall: I honestly wouldnt really recommend this to anyone. there really isnt any redeeming factors for it.

Hal & Bons is a CGI animated anime, about a riceball(?) interviewing two lazy-ass dogs that do nothing else but drinking beer and watching tv.

With that said, I said everything I could actually say about it, there's nothing more to it.

The characters are good enough, the dogs are just normal, while the riceball (Mochi) is hyper, can't do his job right and doesn't have any patience. This doesn't mix with the dogs right, so it takes awhile before the interview is completed.

The animation is poor, no, dreadful, so is the art, the mouths of the dogs and Mochi are just plain ugly, and animation even makes it worse. The sounds good, a nice sing-a-long as an opening and good voice actors.

Overall it gets a 5, but in my personal opinion, it's a bit too high.
(Only watch this when you got time to waste)
