There's no humor, no drama, and no plot in this terrible Japanese cartoon. On the other hand... Plot of eating human crap = Well, you're eating human crap. So something's already happening and it's happening all too quickly (plot). You realise you've already out-done Tortov but that you've gone too far... suddenly your heart leaps (drama), as you struggle to continue, if only to make a point to someone for some reason. As it dawns upon you that you've really no idea what you're doing... people around you begin to laugh (humor). Screw Tortov Roddle. Right in the pooper. Wait, what is it with me and fecal matter anyway? Cheerio. Well, I thought “The Diary of Tortov Roddle” was worse than eating human crap.

It's something that I can watch if I ever feel sad and it has a beautiful sense of wonder about it. I wish I lived in Tortalia. I adore this.

It's funny, but the screencaps make Tautov look less like Japanese animation and more like, say, Tim Burton or some experimental European animator. I have to say I'd almost forgotten about this one...no doubt I'll finally give it a watch out of curiosity.
