ETOTAMA

2015 · 1 season

A bright, silly, hyperactive comedy that bounces between slapstick gags, parody and cute animal-girl antics without asking much of you.

Overview: Since ancient times, Japan has upheld the tradition of the 12 Zodiac signs. Eto-musumes (Zodiac girls), who have the appearance and behavior of the animals of the Zodiac, are pure hearted messengers who act as a bridge between humans and the gods. Every 60 years, the “ETM 12” tournament takes place in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, where aspiring girls from all over Japan gather for the chance to become the next zodiac sign.
How it feels: Whimsical, light, absurd and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, ambition, found family, memory
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
