Domo TV is a series of television shorts featuring the former NHK mascot Domo, also known as "Domo-kun" (どーも くん). In his little world, Domo interacts with multiple anthropomorphic animals, expresses a childlike imagination at the world, and is obsessed with eating and watching TV. He also farts pink clouds when under stress or nervous. It's a wondrous world.It is notable as a series filmed in Stop Motion. Among the cast include Domo's adoptive father, the rabbit Usajii (Mr. Usaji in the English dub), his tech-savvy weasel associate Tā-chan (Tashanna in the English dub), and the mother and son bats Shinobu and Morio (Maya and Mario in the English dub) who take residence on the ceiling of Mr. Usaji's den.The character was featured in a 5-episode web-series in 2015 that can be watched on the official YouTube channel and follows his adventures in the real world.

Cool Old Guy: Mr. Usaji can be pretty energetic and impressive for the grandpa figure of the group, like the time he not only stops scolding Domo for rocking out to loud music but even joins him and has a good time.

comment
Stealth Pun: Domo's name is derived from him parroting a news reporter's greeting of "Dōmo, konnichiwa", which means something along the lines of "Hello there!" However, it could also be interpreted as the news reporter saying hello to Domo specifically, which is why he got his name. Japanese puns are fun.

comment
G-Rated Drug: In the 7-11 promotional short, it's shown that Domo gets a brain freeze after swallowing a whole Slurpee...yet his body language (twitchy eyes and freezing in place) suggests it's more like a drug trip. Interestingly, it leads to a 2D animated sequence of Domo in an Arctic-like locale, with the promotional red Slurpee in lieu of water. And when it's over, Domo takes Mr. Usaji's Slurpee so he can experience it again.

Reality Warper: Domo demonstrates shades of this from time to time. In "Spoon", everyone but Domo seems to bend their spoons after watching a psychic. However, it's revealed that their bent spoons are the result of Domo's misdirected concentration, which leads to Mr. Usaji, Tashanna, and everything in the room floating around. And in "On the Boat", Domo manages to fit a lot of objects into his knapsack, including himself, to keep the boat from sinking.

Downer Ending
 Domo TV / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: "Today's Rule" features Domo following the direction pointed out by an arrow-shaped stick after throwing it. This leads to some humorous bits, such as rolling down a hill and jumping atop the Hungry Bear. However, he sees Mr. Usaji with a nice big cake that others eat slices of. The arrow stick, however, points everywhere but towards the cake. Mr. Usaji manages to save one last slice for Domo, and the arrow stick finally points towards it. A snake eats the slice before Domo can get to it.
