Tags comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy., idolIdols are young media personalities who are considered particularly cute and cuddly and who will, for a period ranging from several months to a few years, regularly appear in the mass media, e.g. as singers for J-pop groups, bit-part actors, TV personalities, models in photo spreads published in magazines, advertisements, etc. Virtual idols are animated characters created as idols. They are often also vTubers and/or vloggers., musicMusic anime generally revolves around people concerned with music in their everyday lives. In addition they often adhere to certain genre conventions, the emphasis on training and practice in preparation for competitions, characters desire for self improvement, and pursuit of a specific goal. This is not unlike the Sports category., newNot based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team., short episodesShort episodes are regular episodes that are much shorter than the standard length. This means up to and including 10 minutes; shows with episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length are half-length episodes instead. Not to be confused with multi-segment episodes, which are regular episodes that are split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines., super deformedA caricature style often seen in anime when the character shows extreme emotions, like fear, anger, happiness, surprise, or shame. Seen as cute, as part of humorous comedy. The character`s face suddenly turns into a simplified version, the body will usually also deform into that of a small child (oversized head, short limbs, extra-large tears)., the artsThe arts represent an outlet of human expression, usually influenced by culture, and driven by human creative impulse. Major constituents of the arts include literature, music, dance, and theatre; culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking; media arts like photography and film, and visual arts – including drawing, painting, and sculpting. Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. film) and the written word (e.g. comics). - [similar]

A small zoo, at the outskirts of Sendai in north-eastern Japan is facing the imminent demise, about to be absorbed by the I-1 Park. The curator Tange orders zookeeper Matsuda to scout for new animals, after even their last animal, an elephant, died.

Matsuda advertises: "Become an idol! Comes with three meals and a nap."

And so seven girls in animal costumes decide to help out and join the zoo: the tiger Minami is interested in the free food, the bear Yoshino just wants to help out, then there is the attention-hungry eagle Miyu, the shark Airi looking to become an idol, the career-focused wolf Nanami, the crocodile Kaya wanting to change herself, and finally the lion Mayu set on getting fed while napping the rest of the time.

But can the actions of these assembled seven creatures bring back the Wake Up Girl Zoo from the brink?

I think that the tongue-in-cheek recreation of the WUG story as we know it in the boundaries of a zoo setting is actually kind of clever and it's just oh so cute. I, for one, want more of this. It's the epitome of lightheartedness, short and fun. Not a "must see" per se, but for those who enjoyed the main WUG story highly recommended.

· · colour codedEvery single character on the main cast has a unique hair colour to help less perceptive viewers distiguish between them. weightless
· · predominantly female castA show with a predominantly female cast has mostly females as main and secondary cast members while few if any male characters have major roles. This also applies when a male lead is surrounded by females of lesser individual plot relevance, such as in a harem setting. weightless
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. ***
· · medium awarenessMedium awareness is the situational awareness characters in works of fiction have and display of the very fact that they are characters in works of fiction. For example, they may quip about the script or narration, complain about their roles, and so on. The most common form of medium awareness is known as breaking the fourth wall, in which characters speak directly to the audience. The "fourth wall" is the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage through which the audience sees the play. *
· · super deformedA caricature style often seen in anime when the character shows extreme emotions, like fear, anger, happiness, surprise, or shame. Seen as cute, as part of humorous comedy. The character`s face suddenly turns into a simplified version, the body will usually also deform into that of a small child (oversized head, short limbs, extra-large tears). **
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · daikaijuuLiterally translating to giant monster, daikaiju is an element found often in Japanese entertainment. Although usually for the science fiction genre it is also often used in horror, fantasy, mecha, and to a lesser extent comedy. Any monster that towers over a house technically qualifies as a daikaiju. Some anime, usually mecha, will go as far as calling their daikaiju with a specific title. weightless
· TO BE MOVED TO EPISODETags under this parent tag are going to be moved to episode tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what episodes they should be assigned to.

· CGIComputer-generated imagery (CGI) or computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs.
· · 3D CG animationAbbreviation for "three-dimensional computer generated animation" or "computer graphics" (CGI). The traditional 2D art is enhanced by 3D imagery developed through computer modeling software. Done in the right way, this union of 3D in a 2D animated world can be a very beautiful relationship. weightless
· ED varietySeveral ED sequences in this anime have either a different song or different animation, maybe even to the point of having a unique ED for each episode. weightless
· short episodesShort episodes are regular episodes that are much shorter than the standard length. This means up to and including 10 minutes; shows with episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length are half-length episodes instead. Not to be confused with multi-segment episodes, which are regular episodes that are split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines. weightless

· · combatCombat involves a violent conflict with the goal to establish dominance over an opponent.
· · · wrestlingWrestling is a fight between two people without weapons, in which each person tries to beat their opponent. Wrestlers use clinching, holding, locking, and leverage. It resembles ritual fighting as it avoids things that will likely lead to serious injury. It is similar to military hand-to-hand combat or self-defence systems. +

Major constituents of the arts include literature, music, dance, and theatre; culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking; media arts like photography and film, and visual arts – including drawing, painting, and sculpting.

They are often also vTubers and/or vloggers. ***
· · performanceThe song performance on stage or acting in a theatre is a central part of the character`s life in this anime type. *
post-credits sceneA little bit of the story is found after the credit titles. A little bonus for those patient enough! This applies regardless of if the credits play over an ED sequence, or over the "regular episode" that continues to air into the credits. A sequence at the end of an episode, showing what will happen in the next episode, is NOT a post-credits scene; that is a preview. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 10
public aquariumA public aquarium is the aquatic counterpart of a zoo, housing living aquatic species for viewing. Most public aquariums feature tanks larger than those kept by home aquarists, as well as smaller tanks. Since the first public aquariums were built in the mid-19th century, they have become popular and their numbers have increased. Most modern accredited aquariums stress conservation issues and educating the public. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 2
sleepoverA sleepover, also known as a pyjama party or a slumber party, is a party where a guest or guests are invited to stay overnight. Typical participant activities include staying up late, talking, eating and playing until falling asleep, which sometimes never happens for a few high energy guests. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 3
zoo visitA visit to the zoo can provide some `personal moments` in a school setting anime. Or the destination of a field trip. Or it might simply be to visit the animals at the zoo. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 1
