Bananya

What could I say about this masterpiece that hasn't been said yet? Some shows are just too good for the human race to apreciate, with that said, bananya is something else than an anime, to the point of being an experience, something you'll only live once in your life, something beatyfull and outstanding. Story- 10/10: Every episode tells a different story about bananya's crew, focusing in one of the few characters. Art- 10/10: Animation and art in general is incredibly high quality. Sound- 10/10: All things related to sound, that being, voice acting, sound track and everything else passes the feeling of awesomeness. Character- 10/10: Character development is outstanding inthe show, something other anime could learn from. Enjoyment- 10/10: It's impossible to watch bananya without a smile in your face, it's almost a magic feeling. Overall- 10/10: In the end, bananya is not an anime, bananya is the most incredible experience you'll ever have in your entire life.

Story: SPOILERS AHEAD MY GOD. This Anime's story is absolutely outstanding. From the very first episode it hooks you in on wonder. Wondering, what is this peculiar Banana-Cat's world like? Later on, as we learn more of these banana-cats exist, our veil of limitation is lifted, because Bananya eventually explores later on, and we learn the lore that this world adds to the story. In the final episode (aka the best final episode ever written of anything), bananya and his friends help the greedy humans and open their hearts by making a cake for them. In return, the humans help bananya achieve his dream of being achocolate-covered banana. Art: Some might say the art is garbage (Nobody is happy with anything), some, simplistic. I think is very aesthetic and adorable no matter how you want to rate it. Character design: absolutely gorgeous. Backgrounds: They deserve to be on display in a museum. Soundtrack: I feel like Chopin was revived from the dead to write this series score because, dang. Thats lit. Character: Bananya is an example of an anime with good character writing. Take a moment to think of an anime with good characters, then toss it out the window because it automatically fails in comparison to Bananya. Bananya is the name we address our mc with, and he dreams of being a chocolate covered banana. He explores this world and his heart is open to the moral that everyone deserves automatic respect, and that he is not alone. Bananya eventually learns that his so called 'best friend', Calico Bananya, is only acting like his friend to see Bananyako. Bananya's heart is broken like this, and has to rebuild himself and everything he's ever thought about others. This is why Bananya is such a good character. Enjoyment: I very much enjoyed this series. I absolutely enjoyed this series. Please, just watch it. Its adorable and the lore runs deep. Overall: Best anime ever. Please watch it when you get the chance.

Bananya is that dosis of cuteness where you might be able to beat your addiction for cat videos. Now wait the characters are cats? But I though they were just talking bananas... I am confused. Bananya is 95% cuteness and 5% comedy stuff 3 minutes series. So if you really need that blissfully cuteness of drugs, this would indeed be cocaine of cuteness XD All the rainbow faeces of the Unicorn - the good things - Very beautiful simple colorful artstyle. (a more detailed style wouldn´t be fitting, I think) - I love their Nya sounds, very cute and a good cute ending song - Many would takes this asa con, but I think it was perfect for this one that it had a episode based plotline. - That ending was interesting! All the hurtful.... cringe! - The cons - It is nothing more nor less, don´t expect much. So yeah should you watch Bananya? Hell yeah especially if you feel down, stressed or anything like it and want to watch some kawaii stuff ^^ It is perfect for those situations

I just watched all 13 episodes of the anime called "Bananya". A few points I would like to raise (spoilers ahead): Like pupating moths, the cats live inside these banana skins inside the house of the rarely seen human family. All the Bananyas supposedly have their own personalities: for example, Black Bananya has a bowtie. What intrigued me early on was Bananya’s ambition to become a chocolate covered Bananya – one that was, to say the least, entirely perplexing. Does Bananya want to be eaten? Does he just enjoy it aesthetically? If, like me, you go into the show wanting an answer to this, you willbe disappointed. In fact, for the rest of the series I found Bananya’s work ethic intolerable. Instead of pursuing his ambitions, he spends most of his time asleep and eating sweets. Why, at the supermarket, did he not find the isle with chocolate sauce? How much knowledge does Bananya have of the world and its workings anyway? I was left wanting for so much more. Another aspect of Bananya’s character I found unpalatable was his betrayal in “Bananya and the Mouse Nya”. After breaking bread with Bananya, and sharing starkly honest and genuine moments of friendship and connection, Bananya turns on the mouse and tries to kill him. This is when his character arc, for me, went too far. For the people that believe he is redeemable after this, I wonder how much you truly value mouses’ life. In "Bananya and the Balloon Nya" Bananya and co. are trying to grab the balloon for an unknown purpose. They try to jump for the balloon string, but cannot reach, until girl bananya manages to grab and tie it to a cup. Next thing we know, Bananya is atop the balloon, after jumping up there. The physics are ludicrous and inconsistent. One minute, Bananya jumps like he's in zero-gravity, shooting up as high as the story requires. The next he can't reach the string. Similar inconsistencies are shown in "Bananya and the Stray Cat Nya" where he can't reach the window lock, after jumping to much higher places in other scenes. Does Bananya perhaps have jumping powers that easily deplete? If so, the story should have made this more clear. I hate baby Bananya. A few more points: the racial insensitivity of “Bananya Goes Out Nya”, the mysterious and underdeveloped narcissism of Long Hair Bananya (for me, one of the most compelling and open ended characters in the series), loose ended depictions of famine and child neglect. While Bananya has some positive aspects, I couldn’t ignore these glaring problems that, once fixed, I think would make for a very compelling and fascinating programme.
