It has been over twelve years, and I still remember my family's barely functional Yugo Skala 55, which we bought for around 150 Euros. The thing had this disgusting paint job- it almost seemed like it had a thin, but still an incoesistent layer of colored mud behind another thin layer of paint- almost as if someone saw F40's paint job after applying that mud to it. The mud looked like Pupa's watercolor-like art style which is here for the sole purpose of obscuring the obscene amount of violence that it presents. Speaking of violence- Yugo Skala was also pretty violent towards the driver. Firstly, it was pulling towards the right, and not slightly- it felt like you were actually steering it in that direction. Keeping the car going in the straight line was a nightmare, and turning left seems like the fact that Pupa's episodes are 4 minutes (3 when you chop off its op and ed) long, which provides you with no room to create any sort of atmosphere.
Another type of violence was the fact that the car would usually refuse to start, even after more than ten attempts- it is more of a mental thing than a physical one, but the physical component was still present- the car needed to be pushed, or pulled by another car. I still remember an ugly Fiat 126 pulling us down the road, hoping that Yugo 55's (GV in the US) disabled cousin would start pushing the wheels of the wheelchair it was riding on.
This is the metaphor I would like to use here- the sense of disbelief, the shock that something like this was conceived, actually made and consumed by people is the only thing pulling your brain forwards while you are watching Pupa. There is really not much to say here.
Oh yeah, our Skala came in this ugly yellowish color which looked the plastic of my family's computer which used to be white once. You would not be surprised to hear that Pupa's colors and disgusting also.
Steering was also vague, so vague that it required interpretation - this show requires interpretation! It is told in an anachronic manner, and just the mere thought of using any sufficient brainpower to consume this disgust is beyond me.
"It's finally over, Onii-chan!"
Score breakdown:
Story: F
I have the lack of words- the brakes that can barely stop the vehicle and engine that can barely move it.
Characters: F
Oh? We will just move on.
Animation: D
The drive is terrible and you feel every single bump, but it is still "driving." Maybe. Just maybe.
Art: F-
Unchanged since the early 80s and produced up until late 2008, what else could I give it?
Music: F-
Boys in Kragujevac surely do like playing multiple death metal tracks over each other, because I cannot figure out anything else that might qualify as a reason to why this engine sounds so awful.
Overall: F
Nice driving experience for the whole family, except for minors who will be infected with ADHD from it, for young adults because it causes depression, for adults because they will not arrive on the job in time and lose it, and except for elders, because it will kick their pancreas around and cause diabetes.
