Hamtaro
Episodes Reviewed: 90% of what they show on Toonami

Overall Grade: B-
It's fun to watch, but incredibly slim on storyline.  

Storyline: 2
A girl moves into a new town with her hamster, and as she makes friends and experiences new things, so does her hamster Hamtaro.  At least it's better than all Nicktoons.

Type: Cute/Comedy

Ch. Development: 3

Sexuality: Areyoukidding?

Romance: 2

Drama: 3

Action: 4

Comedy: 6

Dub

Exactly what you'd expect.

Dub Music: 4
Catchy rhythm, but the lyrics just don't make sense most of the time.

Dub Lines: 2
Most of the time okay, but sometimes it's just too darn embarassing to bear.

Censorship: I won't even bother

Hamtaro exists for few reasons.  Number one: people like cute.  Number two: there has so far never been an anime that revolves around the adventures of hamsters before.  Number three: Cartoon Network needs a good example of an anime that is 100% intended for children.  Not that any of these are bad things.  I like Hamtaro.  I respect it because it's.... so unbearably cyuuuute!!!  Gawd I love it!  Ah, but for storyline, well, it's pretty much nonexistent.  I do know this, though: there have been at least three Hamtaro games made in Japan, and I hope they come stateside, because otherwise it's existence here would be for nothing.  Having a couple of ham-hams in the next Smash Bros. game wouldn't hurt either (yep, made by Nintendo!).  

Still, I don't know if this anime is such a good idea.  I'm not sure if there can actually be a true ending to this anime that truly ends things.  Maybe the games will be better.


That's my Story and I'm Sticking to it!
