First episode, and we know the main character has no personality. That's assuring.

Nothing special. Pretty "meh" in all honesty, though didn't she transform in front of everyone, but only the guy with the camera knows about it? Or were the others too busy running around/away to notice? I dunno, the fight scene was weird. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be comedic or serious.

Eh, it's only five-seven minutes long. Might as well keep watching and see where it goes.

Hot damn it's a rare thing for me to think that MC VA for a female is just bad....Now if she's supposed to sound that way....nope it's still bad but I can adjust quick so we'll see.....She's also bland...

I will say hearing the original Wonder Momo theme from Momoko's ring tone and to hear it again when she transformed brought a smile to my face.

Though I didn't like that Wonder Momo used punches to attack. The Wonder Momo I know was strictly a kicker....

Overall it was meh and quite cheesy, but for a mere 7 minute anime it's a decent way to kill time I guess.

This anime is in the so bad it's good category, Mars of Destruction tier, over the top ridiculous action, rushed at the speed of light, and ugh that voice acting for Momo is what I can describe as a cross between a valley girl and frothing foam. Also, since when did Momo punch. I'll say this again, the game will be 100x better than the anime. The art is a bit too Western for something based off a Japan only title.

Well, that was weird. Liked the ED song though.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

This was horrid, bad animation frozen character models, horrible voice acting, the character models looked good but I would thank to original comic artist for that one. They stripped Momo of all of her personality.

It's not even so good it's bad it's just so bad it's horrible...This is the crap shifty look makes fun of...I wonder how much input they had in this project. The Bravo Man and Mappy cartoons are both great so what happened?

It has more plot than Rainbow Rio, but that's all you can say for it--other than it's short. Could this replace Mars of Destruction as the worst anime ever made?

they obviously testing the audience's reaction,

It is special in a way, but of course not easy to accept
because every 3 second you might want to say "omg so cliché, omg so old, omg batman style, omg she knows what to say to transform, omg a random guy gave her random thing, etc"

I do find good things and bad things in it, so
personally I wouldn't say it is trash

The franchise is 23 years old, isn't it? Even though it's in 1080p with modern animation techniques, the story flow and the cliché-ness make it feel like an 80s cartoon. Which I think is exactly the point. I'll watch a little more and see where it goes.

I really recommend reading the webcomic (http://www.shiftylook.com/comics/wondermomo). That's tongue in cheek and does a great job mixing humour and action. It got it's point across a lot better than the first episode did. I think the biggest problem is the running time and that certain aspects of the comic may be lost in translation? Since this is an Japanese animated adaption of an American comic adaption of a Japanese videogame I'm guessing a lot gets lost in that process...

Wow, this was different(and with different i mean bad), but i still like it. This felt like a typical early 90's anime with all the classic fuck-ups and the naive stupidity a lot of shows had in this time. It isn't good in any way, but it's that charming kind of bad, that gives a show a certain "personality" and makes you remember it.

At least it has some kind of soul.
In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom.

I'd like to deeply say sorry to Pupa for my "Worst anime I've ever seen comment". Wonder Momo episode 1 was probably one of the worst episodes of anime I actually ever watched. It was rushed to the extreme (7 minutes yeah, but that shit had no flow and was moving at such a fast pace). The Voice acting was really bad and the characters sucked.

How did Momo learn how to fight so quickly?

The character design was done by Omar Dogan, who also did the art for a lot of the Street Fighter comics and of course does the art for the online Wonder Momo comic. That said, I'm glad they used his design (and he's glad to be credited for it) but that's about the ONLY good thing I can say about this disaster.
If you're going to create a female heroine you have to CREATE one. Not draw one and say she has powers. Wonder Momo is the worst thing I have seen in regards to anime.

It was wierd and entertained, BUT, and it is a big but...
The main characters acting was bad
It was a bad adaption of a classic video game
and the bad guys looked like the should have been in the 1971 Kamen Rider show.

Momo's voice is so bad it's basically unbearable.
She's singing the OP too because it sounds just as bad.

The animation is actually better than I thought it was going to be.

I can't stop paying attention to their tear ducts, they look weird on big anime eyes...
I don't even know why payed so much attention to that.

the movements were very fluent. the rest is crazy stuff, aliens, magical heros, a little bit Batman the old series. ^^ sure, its not a FMA:b or Clannad, but 0,1 would be not fitting, because the show doesnt take itself so serious, too. i am sure, little girls enjoy this kind of show somehow. also its only 0,4 ks short, so its not annoying long. but main vocalist doesnt fit. i would give it a 0,3 but i wait until next episode.

Felt like I was watching an anime on fast forward, I didn't find the voice acting THAT bad, but it was lazy, and why the frick does everyone instantly know who Wonder Momo is? Trash, but I'll probably watch it all just because it's so short.
