Poster for Hal & Bons

Hal & Bons

2002 · 1 season

Aimless, deadpan hangout comedy where nothing much happens and that is the joke; lo-fi and pleasantly pointless.

Created by
Katsuhito Ishii
Genres
Animation, Comedy
Overview
Hal and Bons are a pair of beer-drinking slacker dogs. They are joined on their sofa by an anthropomorphic rice cake by the name of Mochi, who first interviews them and then decides to give up being an interviewer and move in with them instead.
How it feels
Absurd, whimsical, light and satirical. Slow-burning and fine in the background.
About
Friendship, isolation, identity
Content
Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
