Caramelldansen Origins

After the break, because it's NSFA.*

But yes, this is where both caramelldansen and Popotan came from.  Who knew?**

* Not safe for anywhere.
** Apparently, quite a lot of people.

1 Guh. I may, in fact, be ordering in a new case of brain bleach now. Was Mii-tan... yes, yes she was.

(I still prefer the Popotan TV OP's dance sequence to the Camarelldansen moves, though.)

Somewhere online I found a zip file which contained all the still images that someone managed to rip out of the game, more than a hundred. It isn't too hard from those to deduce the general nature of the story.

The folks who did the anime made a good decision when they jettisoned it all, including the player avatar. It really was scuzzy.

3 Yeah.  Watching that video, I was all like, hey, this isn't so bad, it's actually pretty cute - wait, what?!

4 Fortunately I'm so exhausted at the moment that brain bleach is unneeded.  I can't even remember what I had for lunch at this point.

We really enjoyed the series; the game looks awful.  My wife likened the series to the old TV show Quantum Leap, what with the angle. 

She did once wonder aloud about why they take baths all the time.  Being more of a Cynic than a Skeptic, I'd guess that's how the show was sold to mgt.

6 It's really very straightforward: they take baths so that we, the audience, can watch them bathe.

7 Cf. Hidamari Sketch - they take baths so that we can watch - ooh, a ducky!  As I was saying, they take baths so that - la la la!  Six naked women in a bath together and it comes out cute.  Not that I'm criticising.
