If any anime would probably have a stigma attached to it just through initial impressions (without knowing anything about it) it would be this title. The title being "A Child's Toy" was enough to turn me off. Besides which the main characters are 11 years old. How much could this anime possibly offer? Quite a bit actually. After finally being convinced that I should see it (which wasn't hard since I had nothing better to do at the time), I found Kodomo no Omocha to be a very cool anime. Initially everything seems puzzling, but you can eventually follow what is going on. Although the first few episodes are very humorous, the later episodes show quite a bit of emotion too. Probably the biggest strong point of this anime, is it's ability to make fun of itself, usually directed by the ever-present Babbit. Over-all I'd recommend this anime to any advanced anime viewer. What do I mean by advanced? Well this isn't the sort of series for novice anime fans who may have seen a few "mainstream" anime titles. This is not the sort of show that your a-typical American can probably watch and enjoy. Lets face it, this show is pretty much a total blitzkrieg of... well... everything. But if your an anime fan with an open mind, this is certainly a title that you should give a chance.
