gdgd Fairies puts the ‘sweet’ in “Sweet Jesus, what am I watching?!”
My current cartoon obsession, the one that has all but whisked me away from family, friends and my gal, Mishka, is gdgd Fairies. It’s a lo-fi anime series about three young fairies (naive pkpk, troublemaker shrshr and deadpan krkr) with limited magical abilities and lots and lots to say.
I love it. Will you?
I dunno. That really depends on your penchant for surreal silliness and Nth degree meta-humor, not to mention perversely plotted segments linked together using only the flimsiest of premises. Did you like David Cross and Bob Odenkirk’s Mr. Show? Cuz gdgd Fairies is a lot like that. Except where Bob and Dave were working in sketch and stand-up, gdgd creator/animator Sōta Sugaharathe uses anime and YouTube clips.
