A lethargic, empathetic road drama about finding one’s parents — for everyone who just wants to laze about! Having resigned itself to the fact that it will just end up on someone’s plate, Gudetama just wants to be lazy all the time. But, swept up by the go-getting, overbearing chick Shakipiyo, it leaves the refrigerator and heads out into the world. Together, these polar opposites go on an adventure to find their mother!

Full of heart
This show was hilariously chaotic and funny — but also surprisingly heartfelt when I least expected it. The plot kind of loses itself in the middle — a bunch of random things happen and I'm not entirely sure I can suspend my disbelief during them, but I just kind of had to remind myself that no one is watching this for the masterful plot. The ending is fantastic — and hits surprisingly hard.But overall I just loved how relatable Gudetama's laziness is. It's hilarious. This series is just good vibes.

What a drag!
After Something Crunchy Crunchy (BL cookies in love musical! go watch it it is so weird!), this must be the weirdest, the quirkiest and the strangest thing I have ever watched. I am still trying to figure out what I just finished watching! Was it a cartoon for kids so it is not serious? Was it an adult cartoon so there is some hidden, higher, more complicated meaning behind it? Was it just what it was, a silly little story to pass time while thinking of nothing? I don't know.Gudetama is a raw egg, who is pulled into adventure by a chick wanting to find his mother. Gudetama is only interested in soy sauce and lazing about and the quest is not his thing. On the chick's egg there was a QR traceability code while they try to find the farm and the mother (Julia) they meet different people who may or may not see them: kid in a restaurant, journalists, politician, other kinds of egg...
Even though the story was funny to begin with, eventually it became repetitive and boring and even 10min episodes got to be too long. The animation is excellent and the interactions with real actors convincing. The raw egg, Gudetama is a fascinating character with his laziness and lack of care about the future: he only perks up in the last episode!
While watching this I kept thinking of children's films like Chicken Little and Chicken Run: the story skeleton is the same just it is much more weird here! The raw egg and the chick here go through numerous adventure and eventually they find their mothers and the raw egg gets eaten (in spite of starting to rot a few episodes earlier but was cured by soy sauce and silica gel packets! That scene was rather disgusting!).
So if you are in the mood for something extremely weird japanese way, go for it! It is only about 100min long!
