Kaiketsu Zorori, based off the children's book series by Yutaka Hara had a very fun anime, even for an older viewer like myself. Story: The story is fairly simple: A anthropomorphic fox named Zorori wants to become an evil king and own a castle and marry a beautiful bride to succeed the goals he said to his deceased mother. Although two boars, Zorori, and Noshishi, tag along as his servants. It's a silly little story, but I rather liked it for the execution of it made it fun to watch in 52 episodes despite it's simplicity. Art: The art is actuallygood, nothing much to be said about it but it has a kiddy feel to it and is well-drawn for the most part. It's use of vivid colors and simple background art just fits all in very well. Sound: The sound effects were funny and good to say the most. Although the music, such as "Zorori March", was rather fun to sing-along to. So it was pretty fun overall. Character: The characters Noshishi and Ishishi may lack character development, but they do serve a purpose to get into Zorori's character depth. It wasn't the deepest, but it was fairly interesting to figure out Zorori and see some of him grow and somewhat develop 3-dimension-ally throughout the series. The large cast of characters appear at certain times too, such as his rival Gaon, but not much to say there besides a good set-up. Enjoyment: I really did enjoy watching each episodes. For all the reasons listed, it just fell in place to my personal interests and had made it worth the watch . All the silliness and some good comedy made me laugh, the somewhat suspenseful parts really got me into it as well. Overall: Kaiketsu Zorori is a hit-or-miss thing, but most likely great for children as that's what it was aimed for. For me, it was an anime for just enjoyment and relaxation for it's silly-fun story and characters. I felt it was worth my watch!
