The swine !!!! Argh. Tonde Boorin

Who's afraid of the swine (flu)? Here's Tonde Boorin, an anime about a piglet, and a girl turning to a pig.

Now this is one cutesy anime. The basic storyline is about a junior high school girl called Kokubu Karin, who is the stereotypical anime girl- friendly, a tad too clumsy, but extremely cheerful nonetheless. Kinda like my ex-gf really, who just happens to seriously dig the show.

One day she (Karin) found a piglet stuck behind a bush, lying unconscious. Instead of thinking "Hey free pork chop!" she decides to save the piglet. In return, it gave her a magic compact that transforms her into a super pig called Boorin. Wow, incredible! I wish i had one to give to Bonnie (and turn her into a pig haha). Of course Karin hates being a pig, so the piglet, who was majestically called Tonrariaano the Third, makes a deal with her. Every good deed she does makes a pearl come out of a shell, and when she collects 108 pearls she could choose any form she wished.

There's a lot of mischief and low-level humour ala Keroro, and though it's aimed at a younger demographic, it can be rather fun to watch. Check out the transform scene above, it's hi-la-rious. - Clyde
