Moriyama Sunao just takes everything in stride and accepts his new friend as she moves into his life and his circle of school friends. But the funny creature that he named Potemayo (a made-up name from a potato-mayonnaise bread) does not like one of his classmates, specifically Natsu Mikan and considers her a rival for Moriyama's attention. Then Guchuko a second silly magical demon-girl appears in Moriyama's refrigerator, carrying a scythe and possessing strange magical powers.

Pretty good! This show took a few episodes for me to get used to it. At first I thought it was just strange, but then I started to find it very funny. None of the main characters are too likable, because they're all parodies of cliches. Except Potemayo, who is kind of like the loud type who gets all the jokes going, but so unlike your typical loud type in every superficial way. I didn't find this show cute because I found Potemayo only sickingly cute. The side characters are pretty strange and original. The strangeness is what makes this show good. In the end Potemayo is one of the better comedies, very solid, very unique. I recommend giving it a try.

Awesome. Cute, funny and crazy. Will make your sadness go away for sure. I would like to see more of this, but I guess a 2nd season won't happen, so I'm gonna rewatch it after a year or so.

One of recent anime that has perfect balance of slice-of-life elements, with buncha twists. If fan of story-driven comedy, a must watch.

abso-frikken-lutly hilarious, but not for the kiddies--think South Park with less swearing and even less of a sense of reality.

episode appearance

14-15, male, , black eyesThis character has black eyes.
(This does not refer to the injury called a black eye), blind without glassesA character with a defect of vision severe enough for her/him to be nearly blind without glasses., blue hairThe character has blue hair., childA child is any person 3 to 12 years old. In everyday usage, babies (younger than 3 years old) are also children, but they are tagged separately; they should not be tagged child as well. Once a person becomes 13, they are an adolescent instead., emotionally stuntedAn emotionally stunted person has a crippled ability to feel or express emotions. That may range from a somewhat decreased ability to express one`s feelings to not having emotions at all. The kuudere archetype draws heavily from this characteristic. This personality trait may be a symptom of a medical condition such as autism or post-traumatic stress disorder. This is not to be confused with a deadpan person, who deliberately suppresses the expression of their emotions., glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., kindHaving or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety.

Those characterized by selfishness are said to be selfish., urinary incontinenceUrinary incontinence is any uncontrolled leakage of urine.

The term enuresis is often used to refer to urinary incontinence primarily in children, such as nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting)., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair.
