Evaluation

"Waimo-kun's Journey" is an animated work filled with Tortoise Matsumoto's unique humor and black humor. Released as an OVA, the work was produced in 3 series from 2010 to 2012 with a total of 38 episodes. Each episode is about 21 minutes long, and viewers can enjoy the hilarious journey of Waimo-kun and his friends.

The biggest attraction of this anime is the presence of a character called Waimo-kun. "Waimo" means "me too" in Kansai dialect, and Waimo-kun is a character who loves to imitate everything. His actions are often unpredictable, leading to slapstick comedy involving the people around him. Viewers will be sure to laugh out loud at Waimo-kun's actions.

The story is simple, with Waimo-kun traveling with his friends on the train house "Ikoiko," but the episodes that unfold during the journey are very unique. The titles of each episode are also unique, with names that will make you burst out laughing just by hearing them, such as "Ichaicha Station" and "Chinchirorin Station." These episodes make the most of Waimo-kun's love of imitating others, so viewers will never get bored.

The cast is also attractive, with Nakamura Mamechiyo's voice acting as Waimo-kun and Uchimo-chan bringing out Waimo-kun's character even more. In addition, Hiroishi Miho's voice acting as Metahan Boy and Tomochi's voice acting as Honky Man also express the individuality of each character.

The main staff is also impressive, with professionals from various fields gathering together, including the original author Tortoise Matsumoto, the scriptwriter and composer Yuichi Fukuda, the director and scriptwriter Tomohisa Ishikawa, and the composer Kojiro. In particular, the fact that Tortoise Matsumoto's unique humor is reflected in the animation is a major attraction of this work.

Anima, the animation production company, has created a cute and humorous character for Waimo-kun. The members of the Kiiroi Kaoshite Babanban Production Committee, which was in charge of production, are also diverse, including Warner Music Japan, Pony Canyon, MUSIC ON! TV, Taisuke, and Anima, and each of them has made use of their own expertise in the creation of the work.

This work is especially recommended for those who like black humor and those who find laughter in the actions of characters who imitate everything. Also, since each episode is short, even busy people can enjoy it easily. Furthermore, it is a perfect work for those who like humor in the Kansai dialect.
