Panyo Panyo Digi Charat =]

Info

Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat (ぱにょぱにょ デ・ジ・キャラット Panyo Panyo De Ji Kyaratto?) is the prequel to the popular anime series Di Gi Charat. It features Princess Dejiko and Puchiko as young children home at planet Di Gi Charat. The two and their friends Meek and Rinna set off to bring happiness to the citizens of planet Di Gi Charat, while Piyoko and Deji Devil try to stop them.

Plot

A girl named Princess Dejiko wants to make everyone in the world happy. So she sets off in search of unhappy people and tries to make them happy again! Complete with big eyes, cat hats, and tails, Princess Dejiko finds friends to aid her quest for world happiness!
I especially love how they put it in short episodes, so that if you don't particularly like a story, you don't have to miss half the show. The theme song is sooooo cute also! "I shoot what I dislike with laser beams from my eyes" Though the song is in Japanese, if you memorize the song, you can make other people look at you oddly if you sing along! Overall cutesy anime that's sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad, and always cute ^^ There are too many things I love about this series to list all of them!
This is for all ages, and teaches good morals. Yes, good morals. Dejiko's favorite food is broccoli (you can find it in the extras section) so if you were to cosplay as her... you know what you're having for dinner ~_^ Overall awesome DVD, get it get it get it!

Rinna - りんな Rinna is the owner of her own cake shop. In episode 2, the townspeople claim that she makes the most delicious cakes on the planet; however, they have no idea when her shop will open, as Rinna has a tendency to fall asleep without warning. In a later episode, it is revealed that Rinna can run at an impossible speed; she does not usually do it because she "doesn't like to run." Rinna ends her sentences with 'myu.'

Piyoko - ぴよこ (also known as Pyocola Analogue III ) A young girl who works for Deji Devil. Apparently, she is the leader of the Black Gema Gema Gang, despite being only six years old. She addresses Deji Devil as 'Deji Devil-sama' ('Lord Deji Devil'; in the dub, she refers to him as 'boss'), but according to her character profile, she has little actual respect for him. Dejiko and company do not treat her or Deji Devil as a threat, going so far as to refer to Piyoko as 'Piyoko-chan' as if they were close friends. Piyoko ends her sentences with 'pyo.'

Deji Devil - デジデビル Deji Devil's mission is apparently 'to make everyone on Di Gi Charat unhappy.' Thus, his and Dejiko's quests are somewhat mutually exclusive. Aside from his wings and cape, his body has no substance, therefore he is able to pass through objects. Interestingly, he supposedly is afraid of ghosts. He ends his sentences with 'devi.' In one of the final episodes, it is revealed the Deji Devil can transform into a large pink, flying, panda-like being referred to as 'The King of Demons.' In this 'King of Demons' form, he is no more solid than he is ordinarily; however, he gains the ability to fire lasers from his mouth. According to him, he doesn't usually use this form because 'people might start to expect it.'

Gema - ゲマ Gema is a perfectly round, floating, yellow creature who accompanies Dejiko everywhere as a chaperon. According to his character profile page, most of Gema's data is unknown (including what species he is). He bears a slight resemblance to Pacman; the most notable feature about him is his apparently upside down face.
