About Kingyo Chuuihou!

Kingyo Chuuihou! (きんぎょ注意報!) blends comedy by Toei Animation (1991). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: The show begins with the tale of Chitose Fujinomiya, a girl who goes from riches to rags and back and remains a snob despite it all. When her wealthy father dies, remaining debts leave Chitose almost broke, and she is kicked out of the affluent Tokai no Gakuen, or City Academy.

Further in, she is left with nothing in the realm but the clothes on her back and one pink goldfish named Gyopi-chan, the only memento she has of her father. Wandering lost, she collapses on the grounds of the poor-but-happy Inaka no Chugakko (Country Jr. High School), where the learners are rough if friendly, and farm animals regularly roam the school grounds and even attend class.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Wapiko (Mika Kanai) and Chitose Fujinomiya (Yumi Takada) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 54 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
