Ginyoku no Fam suffered from putting its main character too much in the center of the story. Fam had to do everything and she was the key to bringing peace. Thankfully it made up for it with its gorgeous 3D graphics and its world building: the world it created was full of life and had many interesting locations and cultures, and I really liked black butler hand painted shoes how this show fleshed them out. The plot also wasn't an entire disaster. It just lacked creativity. It definitely does not live up to the original Last Exile, but it could have been much worse.
Moyashimon: after the juggernauts of Nodame Cantabile and Honey and Clover it was the first Noitamina series to get a sequel. Was it really necessary? Nope. The second season is not as good as the first and lacks the charms it has, and most importantly the germs don't really feel like the main character anymore: they're custom low top sneakers sometimes there to give a bit of explanation. Beyond that though, the sequel still had plenty of reasons to make it enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters still is great, it's still chockful of creativity about the germs and it still was a very enjoyable ride with talking germs.
Shirokuma Cafe is a show that took the amazing spider man custom design shoes concept of a panda and a penguin that walk into a bar, and turned that into an entire series. It's a deadpan comedy at heart, with lots and lots of dry humour and animals trolling each other. There were plenty of times through the series at which I just cracked up and laughed hysterically. The big problem with this series however is that it's too long: it's slated for 50 episodes, and it has nowhere near enough material to fill everything with fresh jokes. The result? Padding.
