    This is your typical chibi style tie-in mini series to a parent anime, featuring in this case the 3 main characters from Link Click and their daily lives. Each episode is quite short and is comprised of the opening, the trouble at hand, the ending and an animal short with the characters as if they were pets. So if you find animals cute there's something to look forward to there. If that's not the case, I must say either way that the opening song can not only be quite catchy but as the episodes go on it improves in its animation and budget. Seriously I washonestly surprised at how by a certain point it started changing. Not to mention that there's a chibi version of the iconic ending of the parent series.nnNonetheless, the animation itself is not that of the anime, not by a long shot. It is 3D with few frames per second and the most movement coming out of facial expression changes since the bodies move very slightly. Also, there's also an ambient track from the main series throughout the main part of the episode, so apart from the opening and ending songs, there's not much to jam to.nnAll in all, the most outstanding aspect of this miniseries is the opening, so if you're not gonna watch it, go look it up.
