Synopsis:
Uenohara Zoo presents a peculiar world where the line between instinct and societal expectation blurs. The zoo's animal residents maintain a carefully constructed duality; performing as expected for public viewing, yet living surprisingly complex lives behind the scenes. At the center of this dynamic is Ginpei, a mischievous penguin whose playful antics consistently disrupt the established order within the zoo community. The series explores themes of identity and performance, examining how individuals navigate expectations while striving for personal freedom. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant, everyday zoo environment, the anime offers a gentle and observant look at the relationships between these anthropomorphic creatures, highlighting both the humor and subtle anxieties inherent in maintaining a carefully curated facade. It’s a thoughtful exploration of belonging and self-discovery within an unusual setting.
