Bee and Puppycat is an actual mystery to me. I'd been told about it by friends but I never really went searching for it until a restless 3 a.m. night hit me dead in the face. Bee and Puppycat is an animated web short series from Adventure Time artist Natasha Allegri. I had a faint idea of what I was heading into from experience with Adventure Time.

Episodes go by extremely quickly. They're about 5-6 minutes long so I sat through the whole first season in an hour or so. Although this story is from episode 4, Bee is fired from another job and begins the long walk home and from the sky, a cat or puppy descends and she adopts it into her home. She fails to find temp work and she and her newfound pet are transported away to the latter's temp job. Bee and Puppycat tackle various jobs which may include saving people across the universe.

The show is absolutely beautiful to look at. It's reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films and anime inspired references. There's also a similar plot structure to Steven Universe and Adventure Time where episodes don't reveal very many plot details but drop hints and foreshadowing that pays off eventually, especially in the first season that I watched. There's a whole lot of ground that's laid in season one and it's really great setup for following through on those plot lines and all my questions will probably be answered in season two.

I do recommend watching it. It's very interesting to watch and funny as well. It's a show that just genuinely makes me smile watching it. You can find the first season on YouTube actually and binge watch it there.
