1. I voted for love it...

But I'm not sure why in all honesty.... I really have no clue why I enjoy the show? "shrugs".....

12. It gets under your skin, doesn't it?

2. Hate it, but it's still better than that execrable

"Tom Goes to the Mayor." God, that show is fucking horrible.

6. Tom Goes To The Mayor

Godawful. Twisted, to be sure, but not good.

[Hobarticus]

13. Yah, that blows, even by Adult Swim standards....

7. Tom Goes to Mayor...

In my opinion is the worse cartoon currently on adult swim. Your assessment of "Fucking horrible" is one that I highly agree with.

[SmileyBoy]

15. I agree. That show sucks donkey balls.

Milk-Chan isn't nearly as bad as Tom Goes To The Mayor.

3. Sublime!

Super Milk-Chan is hilarious in a weird kind of way. You either love it or hate if you have seen it. Every episode is essentially the same story. Milk-chan is this little drooling baby-esque girl who sits around pigging out and crappy food, playing video games and reading comic books, and watching TV. She is lazy, and a deadbeat. She hasn't paid her rent in six months. She is accompanies by her obsolete robot with great feelings of insecurity, and this little slug thing.

Every episode starts with her laying around, and the landlord coming to her door to demand the rent. He's kind of a nelly thing, and pretty dim. She fools him easily, he runs off, and then she gets a call from the President. The president is another moron. She gets assigned some "mission" from the president. She then goes to this factory where a Dr. Eye Patch gives her some piece of hardware to help her in her mission. Dr. Eye Patch is mysterious, and creepy, and loves abusing the hell out of Milk-chan's insecure robot.

This is not a fast paced cartoon, it kind of meanders. It's more of a mood, and you gotta be in one to enjoy it.

5. Mostly I *love* the song at the end of the show!

.
It is the BEST.

[Ekirh]

8. Really?

I prefer the one at the beginning of the show... probably because it's always stuck in my head....

[SkipNewarkDE]

9. I've been looking an mp3 of that.

What's the song called?

[Lex]

10. Oh man, I have no idea.

It's just a loop of the same little ditty over and over.

14. I liked it alot when it first came out, but then I got tired of it.

Here's the reason: The episodes became VERY predictable. Almost like every ep followed a same format.

Here's how every episode goes: Milk-Chan does something with Tetsuko at her house, the ant family living underground gets bothered by something, or they're having a family argument about the mama ant having an affair, the ambiguously gay landlord knocks on the door demanding the rent, Milk-Chan does something to trick him, then they watch some lame TV show for a little bit, then the President calls her up, banters with Milk-Chan for a little while, the President gives her the mission, Milk and Tetsuko take their Channel 6 News Chopper to the King's Idea Labratory, meet Dr. Eyepatch, Dr. Eyepatch makes fun of Tetsuko, Tetsuko says "Please have this person not be my daddy!!", Dr. Eyepatch gives them some cool robot to work on the mission with, they get started, the camera focuses in on Hanage, his heart does a little monologue, they complete the mission, then Milk says, "Let's go eat sushi, or something!!", and during the episode, Milk-Chan says "YOU DUMBASS!!!" about seven times.

I don't like it anymore.

16. See, that's what I think is funny about it

Is that essentially it is the same formula over and over again. Just like ANY other stupid anime. Ever watch crap like Yugi-oh, or Duelmasters, or any of that crap? It's the same stupid show every afternoon.

I think Milk-Chan kind of skewers that formulaic aspect of schlock anime. There was one episode that was actually TWO episodes in one, the exact same story twice, but slightly different.
