Amazing Japanese kids show

Posted : 17 years ago on 29 April 2007 05:20

I love this show. I only discovered it a few days ago, but it is amazingly great.

The main segment of the show comprises of some wonderfully, almost kitschy, puppetry. An encyclopedia and a television/dog explain a certain topic to two penguin children. The topics explored are often very interesting and different from the basic rubbish most kids shows teach them. These have included static electricity, how you can tell it's going to snow when a swallow is flying low, and looking at what man-made objects take inspiration from nature.

In between this and all the other segments of the show are filled with very creative Rube Goldberg machines and people are encouraged to make and send in videos of their own too.

Before the final machine there is usually an Algorithm Exercises or Algorithm March featuring different people. My favourites are the marches, especially the one that had ninjas! :D

This is a really great kids show, and I wish that it had been around (and in English) when I was growing up. The songs are catchy too! If you like fun kids shows and don't mind reading subtitles, I recommend watching this show! ^-^
