Di Gi Charat (1999)	comment	Di Gi Charat is anime that ran for 16 episodes over the course of December 1999 on TBS. The show is a Gag Series with each episode only being about 3 minutes long, not counting the intro or credits. It was the first anime based on the Di Gi Charat franchise, and it certainly would not be its last.Dejiko is an Alien Princess who came to earth in order to become an idol, landing in Akihabara. However, due to high rent, she ends up having to take a job at a store called Gamers in exchange for a room to live in. Starring alongside Dejiko are her friends, Puchiko and Gema, as well as her rival, Rabi~en~Rose.Despite its short run, it would leave its mark since this was not the last time we saw these iterations of the characters as a series of specials, and a movie would be released that also took place in the same continuity. As well, in 2022 an anime called Reiwa no Di Gi Charat would be released and would act as a continuation of this seriesThe series received a dub by Synch-Point which covered all 16 episodes.

When Minataku asks how much the trading cards he wants are, Usada, Dejiko, and Puchiko offer the prices of 5,000 dollars, 10,000 dollars, and 30 million dollars. When he says that's too expensive, Usada and Dejiko quickly offer them for free, while Puchiko ups the price to 60 billion.

Gema quickly points out that this is bribery, which is also illegal. Subverted in that this actually helps Dejiko prove her innocence by summing out the impostor Dejiko.

As well, it is rather short being only 16 episodes that were three minutes each, with the next series, Panyo Panyo, bumping the runtime to five minutes and having 48 episodes total. Dejiko averted Calling Your Attacks when using her Laser Eye Beam the first few times. It wouldn't be until the end of Episode 4 when she'd start doing it. As well, the beams were sometimes portrayed as being red rather than yellow.
