Due to an adorable evolutionary miracle, guinea pigs have become furry automobiles known as "Molcars." Now, drivers can enjoy the fluffy interior of their vehicles while fulfilling their every transportation need. However, Molcars are not simply lettuce-fueled machines; they are also sentient creatures with their own worries and desires. Whether in their drivers' presence or among each other, these motorized rodents are swept up into many wild and eventful situations—the likes of which only a Molcar could wind up in.

Pui Pui Molcar is one of the best anime of recent years, and you are missing out on it. Some of the ratings and reviews might be at least partially steeped in irony due to the weird memetic following works like this, Bananya, and the 2017 CGI Pingu reboot received. However, Molcar is sincerely one of the most charming, creative, and downright surreal anime of recent years. The best part is that you can literally watch all of it in under half an hour. So, what makes Molcar so fun? Simple: it’s a surreal, adorable comedy. Each episode is only 2 & ½ minutes, so theshow relies on rapid fire joke after rapid fire joke to paint a strange and fun bite-sized story. While the first ⅓ of the anime consists of cute skits involving the molcars in order to flesh out this strange world of guinea pig cars driven by tiny toy people, the rest go in different directions. Zombie parodies, spy movie parodies, a racing episode with veggie boost power-ups, a fucking Back to the Future type episode. Each episode provides a radically different story from the last so that nothing gets stale. The sheer variety on display is staggering.
Molcar is able to tell all of its stories without a single line of dialogue. The sound effects, movements, and expressions show it all, and do so with such high-octane energy. How else can the show go from an episode about a guy trying to make a romantic gesture in the midst of an ice storm, to one where a superhero fantasizing molcar gets an entire character arc stemming from receiving unwarranted magical girl customizations, back to back? How else can each of these stories still sell the emotions they wish to convey while being gut-bustingly hilarious and almost sickeningly adorable? Each of the cars have their own distinct, simple personalities that are as expressive as they need to be for these gags and stories to work, as do the one-off human characters.
This show would be infinitely harder to sell if not for the stop-motion felt-doll animation for the molcars themselves, and the adorable noises they make. The way they integrate the felt with the props and other stop-motion elements, as well as the occasional 2D or live-action element, adds to each of the gags. Instances like the molcars boosting during the racing episode, or the magical girl decals reacting to whatever the hell is happening in that particular episode exemplify this. It gets even funnier once you start seeing actual people and cats reduced to tiny figurines, or when an actual hamster interacts with the felt molcars. It’s the kind of cutesy multimedia production that you just don’t see very often, and that proves to be a testament to just how much fun quirky stop-motion projects can be.
There’s really not much else that can be said about Molcar beyond just rambling into review-padding digressions about stuff the Akira drift in episode 9 being followed up by an Akira parody poster in episode 10. Its setting and worldbuilding is as strange as its references and parodies are eclectic. It has an insane amount of energy, as well as a joke per minute ratio that gives early Spongebob a run for its money. Pui Pui Molcar is quirky, adorable, hilarious, and unlike any other anime you’ll probably see for a good while. The styles present here may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but with only 2 & ½ minutes per episode and a variety of cute jokes and stories presented in each, it makes for a wonderful comfort show. It’s really as simple as that, so go out there and have some fun, why don’tcha?

In a brightly colored, sunlit hall of soft cotton, filled with uplifting music, gentle breezes and ambient nature sounds, comfort figures of the world have gathered around a plush throne, ready to be claimed by the supreme monarch of cuteness! The time for re-election has come, and amidst successful veterans including cat videos, laughing babies and “moe” anime, a new challenger has appeared by the name Pui Pui Molcar, humbly campaigning for the title with its adorable handcrafted stop-motion animation, wholesome mini-tales, and loads of squeaking, veggie-fueled guinea pig cars! Every facet of these “molcar” designs adds to their cuteness, from their fuzzy arts-and-crafts appearance, roundedbody shapes, button eyes, malleable sewn-on mouths and stubby wheel-feet, to their squeaky vocalizations sampled from real guinea pigs. Many situational touches also enhance the effect, whether the molcars' exaggerated bulged cheeks while munching on lettuce and carrots, visual effects animated with home materials, or the emphatic use of sound effects such as tiny bell dings for surprise or shock. Time and care was also taken to give distinct colour palettes and accessories not only to every molcar, but also each of the various locales, buildings, and most of the humans, lending personality and credibility to its strange setting. Thanks to these effective designs and the inherent cuteness of small fluffy pets, merely watching molcars going about their adventures can easily stir smiles in troubled souls!
But Molcar is not only excellent as an animation equivalent of comfort food, but a genuinely well-made and inspired series of shorts. Having a world filled with giant, fluffy guinea pigs doubling as sentient cars with actual human passengers is an outrageous yet ingenious premise that gets concisely explored in under 40 minutes. Each short episode features a new unique scenario and tells a simple self-contained story purely through its expressive stylized animation, with hardly a moment wasted.
Some episodes explore wacky scenarios arising from the logistics of having self-aware cars with their own free will and desires, imagining how familiar problems like traffic jams, bank robberies and cars parked in the hot sun might play out in the Molcar universe. Others borrow concepts from pop culture and put insane new spins on them. There’s even a guinea pig dance sequence or two. Whether cute, funny, heartwarming or just plain ridiculous, each episode is its own unique delight. I could give more examples, but I’d just be spoiling the fun, and if there’s any series where the phrase “knows how to have fun with itself” applies, Molcar is it!
Beyond its expressive visuals and high density of memorable concepts and gags, Molcar’s greatest strength is its consistent mix of cute absurdity with simplicity and earnestness. With it, the series has created something that can appeal to almost anyone. As a teeny-tiny time investment, I highly recommend it!

Don’t be fooled by the memes, Pui Pui Molcar is more than just a show that rose because of meme value. Rather Pui Pui Molcar is a perfect example of innovation and charm that utilizes its short runtime to the fullest. Molcar introduces us to a world where guinea pig cars are the norm and it is quite cute. It’s an interesting premise and it’s executed quite well. There are fun skits with them which utilize the premise quite well. We get to both see the molcars on their own having fun and doing their own adventuress, as well as how they tie in withthe humans in society. We get to see the workings of the molcars and there’s some interesting world-building into how they function. And it’s not as if Molcar only relies on its cuteness to work, it also has a lot of great ideas that go along with it. There are very movie references and humorous ideas that they bring to life with the show. They also have a good amount of twists and interesting ideas in their comedy. The molcars are so fun to watch. Their humorous mannerisms and actions are very much fun and it really makes the show work so well.
That said what really sells Molcar is the fantastic production. The sound design is incredible. Molcar wouldn’t work nearly as well if it weren’t for the cute noises they make when waddling, or when they see something scary, or when they’re happy or really just anything the molcars do. Each action they have as a corresponding adorable reaction from them and it gives me life. The visuals also look amazing. Rather than go for a typical animated approach they went for There are so many unique molcar designs littering up the full screen. The backgrounds and world feels fully realized with lots of care taken to make everything look great and fit exactly what they’re trying to go for. I also really like how they used the toy people to really sell the world and bring out the sort of toy feel that it has. Overall I’m really impressed with how great Pui Pui Molcar looks and feels. The production does a great job of selling the show and really elevates a great silly idea to a short that stands out and provides so much fun and joy.
If you haven’t watched Molcar I really suggest you do so. It takes less than an hour to watch it all and it’s very cute and fluffy fun. I’m sure most of you will be charmed by the molcars and their cute mannerisms and sounds.

Anime out of context supremacy! It says I need more info so I’m just gonna try filling this out about what I think this show is… I wonder how it smells inside of the cars…. If you get shit out and you smell bad or you have a medical issue or (std) will the car then get the drivers medical issue? When the driver gets pooped out and the car had diarrhea will the human then get turned into diarrhea? I don’t know these things… kinda want answers. This is the only review I’ve ever written I hope you are happy.

My life has forever been changed. With the first utterance of "pui pui" I knew it would be a good show. I was wrong, it isn't a good show. It is a transcendent experience filled with joy, laughs, shenanigans, and true beauty. When Plato talks about the ultimate form of beauty, goodness, and molcars, he is talking about this show. Whether you like superheroes, Indiana Jones, or the zombie apocalypse, Pui Pui Molcar is the anime to watch. My only critique, and I believe it to be a fair one, is that there is not enough Pui Pui Molcar. Hopefully twenty years from now, I canlook back and think, "that's where it all began." The beginning of a legacy.

I have to say that Pui Pui Molcar is an absolute masterpiece--not just in the anime world, but in all of media. Shakespeare, Breaking Bad, Fullmetal Alchemist have NOTHING on this. Not even Beserk can top this. Pui Pui Molcar surpasses all media conventions. The cinematography, the acting, the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? All had me on the edge of my seat. I would show this to my children if I had the time to HAVE ANY while watching this nonstop. Pui Pui Molcar has changed my life. I used to want to kill myself, I had no hope at all in my life, not until I sawthis on Netflix. I was desperately scrolling through looking for hope after I found out Megamind was removed from Netflix and it came like a gift from god. After seeing (Spoilers alert) the poor white molcar get traumatized after being kidnapped and held hostage, I really felt myself in him. I couldn't help but sob as I watched him overcome his trauma and live his best life... Pui Pui Molcar is more than a show to me, it is a lifestyle.
I recommend this to everyone. I think this should be shown in all schools, every morning, no every CLASS. This is the remedy our children need in this broken world. Our future generations finally have their savior.
I am not a religious man, but I believe Pui Pui Molcar is the second coming.
Thank you Pui Pui Molcar, for saving my life.

Pui Pui Molcar changed my life. Suffering from a rough work-week, a wise Jesus-like figure suggested I watch this masterpiece. Upon completion, I can say without a doubt Pui Pui Molcar is the best children's anime I've seen in years. The little molcars are charming and manage to convey so much emotion and humor using only their adorable sound effects and "pui pui"s. Using only a few minutes at a time, the creators of this show manage to show (not tell) how the world of Molcars works. The real life actors are even amusing. If you need light in your life, please, take a momentout of your day for an episode of Pui Pui Molcar.

(Read the last two paragraphs for TLDR) Short series so short review. Pui Pui Molcar is not a masterpiece. But it is still pretty damn very good. I went into this confused as hell, it had a score of ~8.3, has literally nothing but 10/10 prelim reviews (check for yourself), and no score nerf went down. So I was thinking what in the hell did Pui Pui Molcar manage to do in order to bring (almost) all of MAL together to agree that this right here is more than just good. The answer is cute things.That's not me doing a bruh moment.
That's not me being wrong.
That's not me saying this for a laugh.
Literally just, and only just, cute things.
How simple we are.
We have an entire theme of that, cgdct, but I guess people got bored of it.
The narrative is episodic. I can't remember anything bad about the storytelling here, in fact, in episode 11, there is legit lore which just makes this better. The narrative is not too shabby I suppose.
Audiovisuals really need praise, for a kids anime, this is amazing. But I use "kids anime" strictly because universally it does alright, slightly better than what we usually get but nothing way up there. But within this demographic, this is just amazing. The camera work looked like it came out of a high-quality Hollywood movie and the stop motion is pretty good to watch, it is easily interchangeable with fast and more static motion without making it seem awkward. The colours are vibrant too and work quite nicely in complimenting the world of the Molcars with realism mixed with cute stuff I suppose. The sound is decent, I can't say this has an OST that sticks to me, only the OP did, and that sounded quite good. Squeaky sounds are also a thing here too. Pretty good all around.
I enjoyed Pui Pui Molcar, and for a kids anime, I have to say that this can hit to mark, even for slightly older audiences too. It has childish, but charming humour rather than standard silly incoherent situations that comes out in this medium. Sometimes the little people literally moving like some Toy Story soldier is funny in itself. I have to call out on how well the anime handles each episode too. It isn't patronising for the sake of children and does a good job at executing all types of setting from bombastic recuses to police chase to everyone be dancing moments. This stuff is really good.
This isn't for everyone obviously. There is no real flaw in Pui Pui Molcar, but it is very superficial in using the right asset to get everyone to love this. This is literally just animal cars doing a thing, so of course, people will like it. If we took away even half of the cuteness, this probably wouldn't be as high as it is right now. Welcome to the internet.
At the end of the day. We get it. Everyone likey likey when a cute thing literally breathes. The internet literally runs on cute things lmao. But for anyone who is actually looking for the next level "damn, remember when Pui Pui Molcar was airing"-childhood-nostalgia-kinda-show that will probably be given to all them 2019/2020 babies. You might find it with this one. But assuming you can read this review, your childhood is most likely up. You might be a little too late for this one. I would give this a shot regardless though. You never know.
Overall - let's call it an 8.0/10 (8)

If you're looking for a wholesome and quick show, you've come to the right place. This has a little bit of everything in season 1 with each episode being a small skit or parody. In season 2, we get an overarching storyline. This show is absolutely delightful with characters that convey so much emotion without saying a word. This show covers so many genres while still managing to retain its wholesomeness and family-friendly demographic. I would recommend this show to anyone tbh. It's fun and doesn't drag in its pacing. Who knew that felt guinea pigs could display so much character and emotions?

This anime is a must watch for all ages. It is absolutely life changing. I went into this anime as a joke, it was cute, clearly for kids, I thought I was just going to be watching this in the background. I was dead wrong. The cuteness is absolutely a factor, but the show made me feel for the molcars. I was stressed, I almost cried, which is an amazing feat for a show who’s episodes are less than 3 minutes. No words are spoken, and yet the emotion reads on the molcars like black text on a white page. The stylistic choices are funnyand cute, sure, but they convey impressive emotion for Guinea pig cars, and make each individual one have a distinct personality that is recognizable from the others. It is a short form anime, so if you NEED a plot maybe skip this one, but they often do callbacks to previous episodes. Absolutely perfect blend between cute, funny and mind blowingly amazing. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Review in brief: Do you like fun? Do you want to fill a few minutes of idle time with something charming? Then instead of this review, perhaps you should check out Pui Pui Molcar, a stop-motion surreal comedy with quite a lot of heart. You might just like it, and there’s hardly any risk in trying. Review in full: Whether you watch anime for quick entertainment or you’re on a quest for intricate detail through motion, Pui Pui Molcar is likely to surprise you with its fluid fluffiness, comedic wit, and genuine love & care for animation. Throughout its 2 minute, 40 second episodes, each filled with freshideas and nods to other works, it treats viewers of all ages with a look into a magically colorful world of vehicular guinea pigs. All things considered, its current obscurity outside of Japan is far stranger than its runaway success within it.
Now, the medium we called “anime” typically brings to mind 2D animation, often with the idea of much of it being done by hand and occasionally with 3D elements making up part (or less commonly, most) of the production. While stop-motion might seem like a meme category under that mindset, it is a legitimate form of animation and Pui Pui Molcar is an excellent example of it. Cotton is used to great effect not just to make everything look fluffy & cute, but also as a malleable material that forms the base of many special effects that almost look like CG. The animation on the whole is fluid & detailed, with lots of attention put into minor touches like having the molcars sniff & scuttle around like guinea pigs. While it all makes the static plastic models used for humans look a tad cheap, the anime is generally not just pleasant but amazing to watch, both frame by frame and in action. The soundwork is also well-made, with a lot of SFX sampled from actual guinea pigs and much more attention put into music clips than the long-templated work put into standard kids shows.
Pui Pui Molcar also features a solid amount of worldbuilding, especially for a comedy that’s shorter than two episodes of typical anime. Another facet of stop-motion that comes into play here and not in most anime is that the setting isn’t just drawn like everything else, but has to be constructed in real life with a 3D perspective in mind. Mostly taking place in an urban setting, this world clearly has its molcars in mind, with what constitutes a normal business storefront, house, or even public restroom reimagined for use by the furry little vehicles. The detail put into smaller elements is nothing to scoff at either, with a slew of fictional posters, franchises, and other such products scattered throughout as they are in actual cities, ubiquitous yet not quite overbearing. The narrative integrity of the setting gets put into question by a number of the goofier scenarios and it becomes hard for characters to stand out much from one another, but for a short gag comedy it more than does its job on those points.
While some people might be put off by the fact that this is first and foremost a children’s show, the humor is quite good for all ages. Pui Pui Molcar’s main approach to comedy is to juxtapose its cuteness with weird and bizarre circumstances. A clear knowledge of comedic timing went into this, so while not every joke is as intricate as the next and some jokes are tamer than others, it’s fun enough to at least chuckle at overall, with the occasional joke hitting home. Meanwhile, kids can easily laugh at the goofiness of the movie parodies and creative resolutions to mundane problems while adults can catch the references and appreciate how those mundane problems are clearly the creators venting out on issues most working adults can relate to, such as traffic and littering. Much of it gives off an experimental vibe, likely not just because of the wide variety of episodic topics ranging from simple driving to insane parody, but also due to this being made by a handful of young talents in an already niche medium. For some this may be a distracting takeaway, for others it may just add to the charm; it’s the sort of thing that heavily depends on the individual viewer.
Verdict:
Pui Pui Molcar is a refreshing surprise for stop-motion enthusiasts and casual comedy enjoyers alike. While I can’t guarantee its take on surreal comedy will be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s easily the most accessible show in the medium to come out in years. With its popularity in Japan and director Tomoki Misato recently heading a new stop-motion division at Wit Studio, there may be plenty more Pui Pui Molcar to come, so now’s the easiest time to take that worthwhile quick look.
Yhuii
Never once has an anime about guinea pigs made me feel so invigorated. So ALIVE! Until now. This high can only be compared to an overdose on sweet Columbian black tar heroin. This is truly a 10/10 masterpiece. Nothing else will ever compare. I might as well kill myself because I will never find greater joy in life ever again. If Tomoki Misato does not make another season of this, I will personally fly to Japan and force him to animate more of this.As the prophet, John once said, "if pui pui is all you have, you have all you need"

I know what you're thinking: a Pui Pui Molecar review, surely this is just a joke. There isn't someone who actually genuinely likes this show, right? But that's where you'd be mistaken! But I understand you, because even I was mistaken at first! When I decided to watch Pui Pui molecar as a joke, I never expected something this great. Yes, this is just a silly little anime about guinea pig cars, and yes, it doesn't have much substance plotwise; but it wouldn't be fair to dismiss it all just because of that !! Artwise, I was actually very impressed at the quality: The entire showis done almost entirely in stop motion, and it doesn't look like the cheap kind either!! There were people who worked hard, meticulously moving each piece and slowly filming a single scene for hours on end. Creating stop motion takes dedication, and you can tell that the creators of this show had plenty of both that and love. Seriously, the quality is amazing! There's is the occasional live action person in this series, and even they are stop motion animated, which is both incredibly hilarious and such a fun little touch. The style is very cute and charming. The rare 2D animation isn't something to be sneezed at, either: it genuinely looks better than a lot of the shows coming out this season. In one scene (Spoiler) there's an magical girl character, who's design has more heart and charm put into her than a lot of the waifus of today.
The magical girl episode really is amazing. The zombie one too.
Did I tell you that there's actual lore to this series? I was actually very surprised at how creative these little short are, they aren't boring, a lot happens in them, and it's just obvious how much love went into this little show. I laughed a lot at it, especially at how absurd it gets, but I smiled too :)
If you're thinking about watching this show, even as a joke, I highly encourage you, because it might make you laugh, it might make you smile, and if not, it won't take much of your time!

While this was airing, I hyped it to people by saying it was a strong contender for anime of the decade. If the finished product had even slightly more meat on its bones, I'd stand by that. I only have to qualify it slightly because the show is for the littlest kids and I'm sure something more era-defining will come along some time in the next 10 years. But by how much? Who's to say? The thing we have in "Pui Pui Molcar" is absolute mastery of stop motion. What they achieved is just unbelievable. The RANGE of this show's themes. The dynamic ANIMATION. The WORLDBUILDING.The exploration of GENRE.
"Pui Pui Molcar" has absolutely everything Good in it, and if it isn't in "Pui Pui Molcar", I don't want it.
If you haven't watched "Pui Pui Molcar", I'm not interested in your basic bitch opinions on anime.
This is what we're looking for, people. Are you listening? Are you paying attention?

Surprisingly this is a pretty good show, even though its for kids it manages to make even me laugh. I don't know how comedy shows in anime with a higher budget than this fail to entertain me. Its also all under a half hour, not wasting my time and staying for just as long as I need it to be. Although i love this completely I don't think its trying to make a statement toward anything and that's ok. That's why I give Pui Pui Molcar an 8/10. It's literally just short and fun no reason to not watch it really.

Pui Pui Molcar is not just simply a meme or a generic kid show. When you look into a kid show with a short duration, you would probably think "how is this show being called 'the best anime in 2021', when it's just made for kids and is that short?" But if you look deeper, you would figure out why it is so and start to appreciate the effort made by the director Misato and his team to create this engaging world of Molcars which both adults and kids could find enjoyable. First of all is the design of the Molcars. Each of them is welldesigned and made with different personalities, being recognizable by the audience. Just like real life pets, they have various personalities, sounds (by real guinea pigs!), fur colors and the need to eat and sleep, meanwhile there are different kinds of Molcars depending on their purposes just like real life cars, e.g. the ambulance, garbage truck and police car. And for one of the main protagonists Abbey, there is a Japanese Beginner sticker on their (his/her? Idk actually) body! The team did not simply design cute characters, but put effort in blending guinea pig and car, while made them have characteristics from both sides without making them look too forced.
Next is the details in various aspects. While stop motion animation takes a long time to move and film an object, the team did not get lazy when it comes to details. In many scenes you could see that even for background Molcars or human audience, they would give proper reactions towards our protagonists instead of standing still, making the whole anime much more vibrant. Moreover, the background contains many engaging details that may get your attention after watching an episode multiple times, such as the anime posters on building, the carpark with multiple stories and toilet particularly for Molcars. The team was not just making an anime. They were making an unique world with many fun aspects that make you wonder, "how does all the things work in this world?"
Finally is the benefits gained by children and adults by watching the show. Let's talk about kids first as they are the obvious audience. Just like other shows for kids, Pui Pui Molcar also has its educational part, but it is always done in a natural way. There are episodes telling kids to act proper, being considerate and not throwing rubbish, while there are also episodes telling kids that actions speak louder than appearances, and all of them are told by the actions of Molcars. As for adults, the team did not ignore them. Instead, there are some references to classics that could make them smile while watching the show, like Akira, Indiana Jones and Back to the Future. Moreover, the shows have made many adults relaxed and happy via discussion. For instance, when the first episode was aired, I could see many discuss that they often faced the traffic jam problem, but watching all the cars turn into cute Molcars is relaxing for them.
Pui Pui Molcar has all the good essentials that make it stand out from other kid's anime (or even anime in general!). It does not take a long time for you to try watching it, but the uniqueness and cuteness would surly stay in your heart for a very long time!

Truly a masterpiece, Pixar Cars have nothing against this gargantuan paragon of media. I have experienced every emotion known to humankind watching this, the amount of serotonin injected into me should be illegal. There are no faults in this anime, and if there are it's because of the humans because the Molcars will never be at fault. If they went on a murder spree, I will still forgive them no matter what. 🐹/10 makes me cry every time. There is no doubt, no matter which angle you look at it, nothing can compare to this monumental moment of Molcar. Molcar is Justice. (Staff, pls don't delete my reviewagain :( It's my 100% honest feelings)

One of the best anime to come out of 2021, and possibly one of the best anime to come out in history. Story: The story is basically cute hamster cars doing cute things. This ranges from them hanging out with each other, racing, eating together, partying, dancing, etc. Pui Pui Molcar is a simple anime with no complexity to its story. Each episode is self-contained as well as being 2 minutes long. Making it the perfect anime to turn your brain off. Art style: One of the highlights of this show are its visuals. Instead of traditional 2D animation, this anime uses fluff as away of forming its identity (Something I don't see in many forms of media). It compliments the furry nature of real hamsters which is why it works so well. As for the character designs of the hamsters, they are charming in a nostalgic way. They look like something a child would come up with as it combines fluffy animals with materialistic objects. I find the concept absurd and cute at the same time.
Sound: The most iconic sounds effects from this anime are the jingles that are played at the start and end of each episode, and the squeaky noises the hamster cars make as they move. Both the jingles are upbeat and light-hearted which reflects the anime's cute energy. The squeaky noises blend perfectly with the nature of cute tiny animals, as well as cars. Overall, these sounds are simple yet effective.
Characters: None of the cars have names, or any unique personality traits. Some people may find that to be an issue, but I think it is perfectly fine since this anime is meant to be easy to consume. I find it reassuring that I don't have to remember the names of every hamster car, as well as what they do. Instead, every hamster car is distinguishable by appearance alone.
Verdict: It was a very enjoyable anime from start to finish. It's a cute cozy anime that I didn't need to put any effort into watching. For me, it is a solid 10/10 for me.
