Anime Review: Bincho-tan
Bincho-tan is a strange one really, the main selling point of this anime is the cute factor, with characters such as Bincho-tan making the airwaves in Japan throughout history, its not really a strong selling point now.
However, Bincho-tan is NOT a bad anime really, its really light-hearted and though the cute factor gets tiresome after a while, the show is really about everyday life things of sorts.. which may make this anime seem as though its nothing more than a boring show about nothing.
This is not the case though, despite the atrocious first episode, from 2nd episode onwards, it starts to introduce the far superior side-characters like Ren, Chiku and Aloe who are the real stars of the show . In some respects, this show should be called Chiku-tan because she is funny, cute and everything Bincho-tan should be but isn't!.
You know theres a problem when the first episodes show how inconsistent the size of Bincho-tan really is, one point she is as small as a bottle, the next, she is as big as a door. Eventually, Bincho-tan had more consistency as the show went on but this is still a bad point.
Overall, Bincho-tan is nothing more than a light-hearted look at the daily life of Bincho-tan (which is a bit repetitive) and really aside from the first episode, everything else is watchable to a degree when Chikutan comes along.
