Potemayo English Sub & Dub

About Potemayo

Here is what Potemayo is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, school and seinen anime by J.C.Staff (2007). What the story covers: Sunao Moriyama finds a strange but cute creature that he names Potemayo. Potemayo sets off following him everywhere, usually riding on top of his head.

Further in, his discovery turns into the center of attention in his class at school. Soon after, a similar creature appears, and is named Guchuko by one of Sunao's classmates. However, Guchuko doesn't seem to be as good-natured as Potemayo.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
