Null Peta

Welcome to my spoiler-free review of Null Peta




This is a wonderful tale about two sisters and their strong bond! Null and Peta. They lost everything they have when tragedy suddenly struck and tore them apart!! The story has everything from strong love, and humor, to drama. And carrying out its segments extremely well. It's heartwarming and so wholesome




The style and animation are warm and almost a bit childish with strong colors! It may not have the biggest budget nor the best technique or fancy CGI effects. But it doesn't need to! It reminds me more of a home-cooked meal. ... Made with love and great care. It has a soul and a big heart. Which makes it so damn appealing and lovable. It's attractive and so fabulously delicious that I just want more




Love the sound everything from the charming beeping noise to the opening. It does a great job to enchant the scenes




The sisters are very strong characters. Null goes on with her life after the accident. Instead of breaking down, she tries to fix things. Building a new sister with the same characteristics as the old one. She is a persistent girl who don't give up easily and a ready to do anything to get her sister back. And grows to take a bigger responsibility and try to do things she doesn't like!! Such as going to school and eating nutritious food (even if it tastes bad) She Is very charismatic and charming! A great character is well written that one feels strongly for




Her sister the Peta bot. Can be a bit forceful But she really cares and wants the best for her beloved little sister The robot are more a humorous relief segment than anything else. Its role is important, but the big star is the younger sister Null




I got an enormous amount of enjoyment out of this! It has everything. Great story lovely animation good sound, But mostly it has the sisters. And with such strong characters It makes you feel everything. From sadness and amusement to confusion. It has everything and more! I got really invested in this little anime that I didn't have high hopes for in the beginning. Short anime with only five minutes of the running time is often very shallow. But this was so much more than I ever could have dreamed of. This media gave me a strong immersive experience. And I ended up loving every second of it




The only small negative aspect I can find in this phenomenal media! Would be the humor itself. I just wish they had toned it down a tiny notch. It's a very minuscule detail, and not going to be an obstacle to onces enjoyment! But if I have to nitpick that would be it




But in the end, it's one of the better if not the best short anime I have seen. It is truly the little anime that could. And shows it's not a matter of how many minutes you have. The most important factor is how you spend your time. And this did everything right




I Strongly recommend this anime. It may be short but it has a big heart



Thank you for reading

I love this show, and probably for the wrong reasons. I have not cried at a show as much as I have cried at this. I had an emotional breakdown watching this show.

Story: 10/10
This show starts out really really cute and hilarious, at times there is sadness over Null's situation and other times there is a slight unease or anxiety about a lurking something. As the show goes on it really builds on these feelings and the ending was handled so well and I cried like a baby.

Art: 8/10
For a show only a few minutes per episode, it has very solid art and it ... changes to accompany the comedic moments and does a really good job of doing so. There are budget limits for such shows so you cannot expect Demon Slayer animation or anything like that, but sometimes that isn't the point. I, for one, think that the art of a show is mostly irrelevant to the score.

Sound: 8/10
The VAs did a brilliant job at their characters and really expressed emotions well throughout the story.

Character: 8/10
A super-genius child and an overprotective big-breasted mofu-mofu onee-san/ robot. There aren't really any other characters and these two, although not so original, are still done so well. The way Null reacts when Peta passes away is quite heart-wrenching and the way she treats her sister when she is a robot really shows how much we take things for granted - she treats her similar to how she would if her sister were still alive, and it really shows when you take that away how much a person can change.
Null is pretty cute and is a super-funny super-genius who hates her sister's cooking but still loves her more than anything else, which she shows alot throughout the show. She shows great concern for even her robot sister.
Peta is such a comforting character. Although, we don't see much of her real self, we can tell in her robot self that she really cares for Null and it is making me tear up remembering it.

Enjoyment: 10/10
If I have not made it clear already then I shall say again that this show is probably the best hour I have spent in my life and I don't know if I will ever get to relive it again.
Most people will likely get bored and drop the show, or will not think anything other than "just another short show to pass the time". With how many tears I shed watching this show, I disagree with these but each to their own.

Overall: 10/10
Just watch the show, its incredible.

In an otherwise weak season, this short anime has somehow became one of my go-to shows every Friday and despite my initial disappointment at the show being revealed to be a short, I ended up liking the show a lot irregardless.

The pacing is undoubtedly masterclass in this. In spite of its short length, Null Peta feels just right. Even at about 4 minutes + 1 minute OP, each episode of the show isn't too long and isn't too short. It hits that mark just right and ends just at the point where you want it to end.

The plot and humour are done fairly ... well, with a very gentle colour palette complementing the scenes really well, giving the whole show a very fairy-tale like presentation that is pleasing on the eyes.

And like other weird Fall shows I like (Flip Flappers for instance), the show does end up tackling some fairly morbid themes with a few plot twists here and there, but the upbeat optimism of the show never falters irregardless.

Would still preferred if they had the OP at the end of each episode though, having the episode just end without even a fade to black is pretty jarring.

7/10
