About Oruchuban Ebichu

Oruchuban Ebichu (おるちゅばんエビちゅ) arrives as a comedy anime by GAINAX and Group TAC (1999), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Ebichu the hamster seems like the perfect house pet: she cleans, shops, cooks, does laundry, and anything to please her master, known only as "Office Lady" (OL). Unfortunately, OL and her unfaithful boyfriend, combined with Ebichu's uncontrollable exuberance and love for ice cream, often earn her severe and bloody punishment.

Another thread: However, Ebichu doesn't seem to mind the abuse if she achieves her goal of making her beloved master a little bit happier.

Oruchuban Ebichu aired twice a day contrary to the other two series.
