Okay, I've seen the cute loli characters for some time, and after seeing hoards of "Nyo~!"ing cosplayers, I had steered clear of it to avoid the possibilty of cavities. Anyway, yesterday a friend convinced me to watch the original series.
...Wow. It's nearly the complete opposite of what I was thinking. I had no idea that this series was chock full of fart jokes and that the kawaii bishoujo lead was a selfish, raging bitch. I love the fact that Dejiko is constantly bad mouthing the otaku customers, yet fangirls herself over KOF's Iori. And the surreality also wins. All in all, quite brilliant. XD
Does the rest of it stand up to the original series at all? If so, I'm sold.

I too have seen the light of Di Gi Charat, I picked up the first DVD at my local anime series and was instantly hooked by the crazy antics. I wish i could say that the second DVD i picked up was even half as good. T_T the second DVD just didnt hold a candle to the first, it had all new characters and a whole new story... I was so confused @-@

Anything past the original series and the few specials from it is a steamy pile of crap. Which is extremely sad, because the original series owned on nearly all imaginable levels-nyu.

Ah yes, got to love Koge Donbo's stuff. And now for something completely different.

stick to the first series; everything else is shit. the galaxy angel anime is very much in the same cynical-moe vein as digi-charat is, so you might want to check that out.

while Di Gi Charat Nyo is pretty bad, Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat (I think that's the name....forgot) is more child-like (but it seems you don't want that).
I really like the Di Gi Charat specials though....they're like extentions of the series. There's about 14 of them, I think....2 Christmas specials, 4 Hanami specials, and 8 summer specials. Those are a lot like the original series.

Hullo, original poster, here. I've since picked up the first dvds for Leave It To Piyoko and Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat. I like Leave It To Piyoko, but Panyo Panyo is horrid. Instead of the bitchy, jaded little otaku-in-denial Dejiko's a good little princess who wants to make the world happy. Bleargh.
I mean, Panyou Panyo is cute and all, and I rather like the character designs, but feels like a completely different series that just had Dejiko, Puchiko and Piyoko slapped in there for the hell of it.

Di Gi Charat is an Awesome anime :) (my fave)
Pity the rest of the series took a change of direction. I love Dejiko as the Bratty, perverted, selfish & Gutless bitch she is in the first season :)
