As well as Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemi is a wacky satirical parody. There
are also more or less the same names in both series, starting with the
director Shinichi Watanabe. Unsurprisingly, Puni Puni Poemi is an OVA
continuation of Excel Saga, even though there are new characters:
Poemi Watanabe: A hyperactive 10-year-old girl. She's even worse than
Excel, and now that's serious!! She calls herself Watanabe and wants to be a
voice actress. On the other hand, and here's the first parody, she looks
like Sakura in Card Captor Sakura.
Puni Puni Poemi: Now let's see if I get it. Poemi finds a fish, stabs it
with a kitchen knife and it becomes a magic item which transforms Poemi into
the typical magical girl. Weird.
Futaba Aasu: Poemi's classmate and best friend. She loves Poemi-chan and
well... there is some lesbian stuff in the anime even if it's not explicit
as in hentai movies. Of course, she looks like Tomoyo.
Kumi-kumi-san: Oh... she's the girl from the mountains in Excel Saga and
she's Poemi's mother.
Director (Nabeshin): He's happily married to Kumi-kumi-san and is Poemi's
father.
The Aasu (Earth) family: Oh curious. The girls' names are all related to
numbers: Nanase (from nana=7) is the oldest, after her come Mutsumi (muttsu=6),
Itsue (itsu=5), Shii (shi=4), Mitsuki (mittsu=3), Futaba (futa=2) and
finally Hitomi (hito=1). Shii looks like Hyatt, just that she has enormous
breasts and loves to let them rest on top of Poemi's head. Hitomi predicts
the future, and she's only 3 years old! Well, this somewhat strange family
has to protect the Earth from a race of weird half-dressed aliens.
Kei-kun: The boy Poemi likes. It's weird that Poemi is as genki as she is
and still she can't manage to talk with Kei-kun.
