michael dworkis goes anime again …
ADV Films brings us the story of a child ready and willing to save the world. On her own terms you dumbass! Super Milk Chan is a short series featuring a foul-mouthed child who, for whatever reason is called upon to save the world, the sushi bar next door, or some top-secret nuclear factory by “The President of Everything.” This fellow is an incompetent politician who suffers from paranoia that his country is out to get him, and assumes the worst will always happen. This results in impulsive behavior, leading to a nuke being dropped at random.
Milk, as she is called throughout the series, encounters many strange individuals, such as a counterfeit moneymaker who has an obsession with pancakes, Colonel Flanders, who is the Colonel Sanders of pork products, and mass-murdering robot mauling bear named Leonardo. If that craziness is not enough for you, the regular characters will certainly entertain.
Her robot maid, Tetsuko, constantly warns Milk about getting into trouble, calling Mr. President an idiot, being lovesick over another robot, and using her Gas Attack (giant fart) to get out of trouble. She is the voice of reason in an unreasonable world.

Hanage is the little caterpillar who accompanies Milk and Tetsuko on their missions. He does not speak out loud, however during episodes we hear from the “Voice of Hanage’s Heart.” This voice is an optimistic day-dream type, wondering one day he will meet the woman of his dreams.
Dr. Eyepatch, the creepy scientist, provides Milk with various gadgets throughout the series, most notably Robodog Number One. Robodog is programmed to hate and curse out Tetsuko, as well as barking loudly and boast about its high tech gadgetry. There is a creepy landlord who is frightened by the sound of a fake ghost, and a group of ants whose family life deteriorates with each episode, culminating with the suicide of father ant.
If you are the sort to seek mind-expanding thoughtful programming, you came to the wrong place. If you do like trippy, mind-boggling, and perplexing laughter inducing fun, then this is your show.
