Doggy poo is a very heartwarming story, and from the low rating I feel like I have to defend this anime. I would compare this to Clannad After Story because of the way the child was abandoned and the touching story. First of all this anime is very different and although silly this is a very original story. It follows the life of an abandoned pile of poop. You basically experience its life and prejudice. I feel like there is a lot of metaphor in this about today's society and racism. Everyone treats poo differently which is very depressing. There is a lot of imagery inthis and I recommend this for intelligent and sophisticated people. The art is claymation, it is not very high quality I admit but it gets the job done. For the most part, everything is detailed. There is little sound but I highly recommend the dubbed version which can be found on youtube. Characters are the strongest point in this series. There are many characters introduced with very distinct personality. There is not much background developed but you will experience many different types of personalities. I really enjoyed this movie, don't let the title and content mislead you, I was shedding manly tears by the end of this.

I must say, I think the bad ratings really don't show the true anime. Story: 7 I would give it an 8 or 9 if there was more action to it, but what action could you give to a pile of dog poop. Art: 7 It's not bad, It's just not regular anime art. It's clay models. Still though, the scenery isn't half baked or incomplete. It looks as if they actually put time and effort into it.Sound: 8 You can hear the wind rustling the leaves and the laughter and footsteps of the children. They could put more, but it was enough to understand. Character: 9 The the poop wanted was to be worth something. He didn't change much, but he got to learn that he was worth something. Overall: 9 A few minor flaws and things, but this anime is truly an interesting one. I honestly couldn't compare it to any other because of the original plot and idea. I feel like this is a metaphor for raceisim. It is slightly religious, because it mentions god, but that's not very important to the story itself. It is an amazing story and really deserves some good ratings. One of my favorites!
