Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure TV Review (2024)

Violence & Scariness

some

There are moments of perilous music and darkness during their adventures. They often have to avoid being stepped on, cooked, or meeting their demise in another way. When they realized they're in a sushi restaurant, chick cries out, "if someone find us, we're going to get eaten!" The fish eggs tell the story of their mother getting captured and then filleted while crying "mommy". There's some dark humor, like Piyo imagining their "mommy" chicken wandering into a fried chicken place. It's not overly scary but could be a little unsettling for very young viewers. A child starts to cry when he puts Gudetama on his Udon and tells him to leave him alone The first episode ends with a man stalking Piyo and Gudetama because he produces a TV show about hunting unusual creatures.
