"Perfect Hair Forever" [Lazzo-Harrigan-Maiellaro, 2004] Season 1 [Nov. 2004-Dec. 2005] [TV-14]

An extraordinarily crude, sophomoric animated comedy that attempts to parody anime-- that's its modus vivendi, or whatever. Since this is Adult Swim, you shouldn't take the fact that it's "about" a naive, female-voiced boy named Gerald who is semi-bald and so needs to find [show's title] very seriously. What is genuinely important, however, is the extent to which the crude and sophomoric way whereby it attempts to parody anime is to the show's humorous detriment. So... just imagine Frisky Dingo, only about the above topic, completely unsuccessful (at least by comparison) in its comic ideology, and, in addition to being sophomoric and all, surprisingly eroticized-- Gerald's uncle/grandfather Uncle Grandfather has a very scantily clad "schoolgirl companion" named Brenda. Grade: C MINUS
