All-righty, here is the listing of my episode ideas! These episodes are
listed in no particular order---the only reason I number them is to make it
easier for me (and you guys!) to keep track of how many episodes I've come
up with so far. Please feel free to leave your comments, questions, and
suggestions about each episode in the Review section.
------------------------
1) TITLE: May-Day Flower
(This is my special Sanrio Thanksgiving episode)
SYNOPSIS: Thanksgiving is here! The Sanrio kids are going to celebrate the day in a unique fashion---they are going to recreate the historical event of the first Thanksgiving between the pilgrims and the Indians. On one piece of land (representing North America) are the Native Americans---Hello Kitty, Mimmy, Chococat, Keroppi, My Melody, Spottie Dottie, and Minna no Tabo (a little human boy with his mouth always wide open). They are setting up the table, chairs, decorations, and food for the Thanksgiving feast on their land. On another piece of land (representing Europe) across a sea (which represents the Atlantic Ocean) are the Pilgrims---Badtz-Maru, Pandaba, Hana-Maru, Pochacco, Pekkle, the Twin Stars (twin boy-and-girl angels---the blue-haired boy is Lala, and the pink-haired girl is Kiki), Monkichi (a monkey), and Purin (a fat yellow-orange dog who wears a beret). They have built their own kid-sized replica of the Mayflower ship, and now they are going to use it to sail over to the Indian land and have Thanksgiving with the Indians. It is supposed to be clear-sailing for the Pilgrims---until an unexpected storm hits! The Pilgrims have major trouble trying to ride the storm. Will they be able to reach Plymouth Rock on time before their Mayflower boat capsizes?
NOTES:
---The title "May-Day Flower" is the words "May Day!" (a distress call) and the Pilgrims' boat the "Mayflower" put together.
------------------------
2) TITLE: Sanrio Iron Chef
SYNOPSIS: Cooking is one of Hello Kitty's favorite hobbies, and she is very good at it. But what surprises the Sanrio gang one day at lunchtime in the kitchen is that Badtz-Maru can cook, too---more so, that he is VERY good at it. He whoops up a Japanese dish for the gang that is so delicious that it leaves everyone stunned and amazed---and wanting more of his food. Even Hello Kitty is surprised and impressed, and congratulates Badtz-Maru for cooking up such a great dish. She thinks that both she and Badtz-Maru are the great cooks of the clubhouse. But Badtz-Maru thinks he's a better cook than Hello Kitty, and wants to prove it to her by challenging her to a cooking contest. He taunts Hello Kitty into accepting his challenge, and Sanrio holds a one-hour Iron Chef-style show where Badtz-Maru and Hello Kitty compete against each other to see who is the true Sanrio Iron Chef.
------------------------
3) TITLE: Diet With Honor
SYNOPSIS: Hello Kitty always weighs exactly three apples---no more, no less. And she obsessively makes sure it stays that way---she's always going on her apple scale many times a day to make sure that the scale always reads exactly three apples---no more, no less. Badtz-Maru observes Hello Kitty's weight-watching obsession and cooks up a delicious scheme to test Hello Kitty's obsession to the ultimate limit. With a handy-dandy screwdriver, Badtz-maru fixes Hello Kitty's apple scale so that it will always read FOUR apples instead of three when she stands on it. That's right, just one more little apple...shouldn't be a big deal, right? Not when you're Hello Kitty. Those four horrid apples she sees on her apple scale the next day make her go so berserk that she automatically declares that she is going on a strict diet. Just enough so that she will drop one apple in weight...shouldn't be that hard to stick to that type of diet, right? Not when Badtz-Maru is around, purposely teasing Hello Kitty by eating sweet foods in front of her to weaken her will.
------------------------
4) TITLE: The Bird in the Beret
SYNOPSIS: Hello Kitty and Mimmy are bored at their home one gray, rainy day. Their parents are out, they're home alone, and they have absolutely nothing to do. Suddenly a visitor shows up at their doorstep---a penguin with a huge red-and-white striped beret on his head. He is Badtz-Maru---the Bird in the Beret---and he comes up with many fun, silly, and mischevious things to do with the two sisters. He brings out his friends Thing 1 (Pandaba) and Thing 2 (Hana-Maru), who have lots of wild fun playing and messing up the house. This story pays homage to the classic Dr. Seuss book, The Cat in the Hat.
------------------------
5) TITLE: PoChococat vs. MechMaru
SYNOPSIS: It all started with a silly little realization that dawned upon Pochacco and Chococat one day---that if they put their names together, they'd get Pochococat. Soon they expand upon that, imagining that if they put themselves together (Chococat sitting on top of Pochacco), then they could be a mech robot superhero called PoChococat. They imagine themselves having many powers and transforming abilities, using them to help people and save the day. Badtz-Maru oversees their adventures and has a scheming plan to challenge them. He (along with Pandaba and Hana-Maru, his two cohorts) makes his own mech robot called the MechMaru, and when his team in the MechMaru battles PoChococat in the City of Tokyo, the MechMaru proves to be much more powerful than PoChococat. Will PoChococat be able to come to terms with the powerful MechMaru? Especially when a giant, evil sea turtle invades the City of Tokyo, and it becomes critical for the two mech robots to team up together to defeat the sea turtle?
------------------------
6) TITLE: Badtz Badtz Revolution
SYNOPSIS: All the Sanrio kids are having fun and hanging out at the Sanrio Arcade! While they are playing various arcade games, game booths, and all other types of games that you can find at arcades, Badtz-Maru and his two cohorts are competing against one another shooting hoops at the Basketball Shooting game. Badtz-Maru beats his two cohorts, therefore winning a lot more arcade tickets than them. After the basketball game, the three look around for another game to play. As they walk around the arcade, they notice a small group of Sanrio kids at the just-opened new addition to the arcade---the Dance Dance Revolution game. Badtz-Maru wanders over a bit closer to the group and observes a few Sanrio kids attempting to do the dance moves on the DDR board. But one by one, each kid messes up and fails to pass even the first level. This gives Badtz-Maru a brilliant idea, and he goes off somewhere for a moment while his cohorts just stand there looking off puzzledly after him. Soon Badtz-Maru comes back out in punky hip-hop clothes, and dramatically struts toward the DDR board. The other Sanrio kids turn around and see him approaching. They gasp in awe and wonder at his image as they all move aside and let Badtz-Maru step on top of the DDR board. Hana-Maru sticks a couple of quarters into the machine, and soon the intense 5-level hardcore high-energy dance war between Badtz- Maru and 5 computer teens on the DDR screen begins.
------------------------
7) TITLE: In-Disneyto
SYNOPSIS: The Sanrio Government has received credible information suspecting that the Disney Government is stealing secrets from them. So they assign three of their most prominent Sanrio characters as secret agents---Badtz-Maru, Pekkle, and Pochacco---to go on a top-secret mission- impossible style mission to retrieve the secrets back. They will have to go incognito to do their mission secretly and successfully. And since they will be wandering into Disney territory...Badtz-Maru will be disguised as Mickey Mouse, Pekkle will be disguised as Donald Duck, and Pochacco will be disguised as Goofy. Guiding them throughout their mission at the Sanrio Satellite Surveillance Lab will be Pandaba as Minnie Mouse, and Hana-Maru as Pluto. Later in the mission they have Cinnamon Roll helping them out, acting as Dumbo the Elephant (for the air war against the Disney enemies).
NOTES:
---The title "In-Disneyto" is the words "Disney" and "incognito" put together.
------------------------
8) TITLE: Kittygan's Island
SYNOPSIS: This episode pays homage to the classic 60's sitcom Gilligan's Island, but with different characters. Hello Kitty (Kittygan) and her twin sister Mimmy (Skipper Mimmy) are abandoned on an island with a group of some of the most quirky characters around---Badtz-Maru the dangerously notorious gangster, Pandaba the flippant flapper, Pochacco the NBA basketball star, Pekkle the zany-crazy circus clown, Spottie Dottie the tree-hugging peacenik hippie, Chococat the "leel' arteest," Keroppi the mime, and My Melody (I haven't yet decided what I want her to be). A long time ago they were all on a boat at sea together when a severe storm came and crashed their boat onto a remote island. Now they must learn to work and live together on the island. Of course, seeing how everyone is so different from each other, this is not always easy...which makes way for many humorous happenings.
NOTES:
---This is really only the premise for the episode. I have yet to come with an actual episode plot.
------------------------
9) TITLE: The Pink Penguin
SYNOPSIS: One day while rummaging through a box of new suits, Badtz-Maru finds a particular vibrant pink suit and hat that he likes very much. He puts the pink suit on and soon struts his stuff about, having a very Pink Panther kind of aura around him. He spots Hello Kitty in an empty white room. Hello Kitty is planning to paint the whole room in different shades of blue. She even has a blue blueprint to follow to make sure that the room turns out right. But the Pink Penguin has a different plan---he's going to enforce all pink in the room. Soon a hilarious paint war arises over who can cover the whole room in his or her color.
NOTES:
---The Pink Penguin parodies the Pink Panther, and the episode parodies an old Pink Panther episode of a similar plot (the little white guy with the big nose is a carpenter who wants to paint a building blue, but the Pink Panther comes by and proceeds to paint the building pink. Soon they go into a paint war).
------------------------
10) TITLE: The Amish/Modern Mismatch
SYNOPSIS: The pressures and demands of the complex, fast-paced modern world become too much for Hello Kitty and Mimmy one day. So they decide to move out of the Sanrio treehouse and set up a little cottage in a rural land, living an Amish lifestyle. My Melody and Keroppi join them. Badtz- Maru, on the other hand, cannot believe that Hello Kitty and Mimmy (or anyone else, for that matter) would want to abandon modernity, "the greatest thing that's ever happened to civilization" as he puts it---and instead "live in the 19th century" as he puts it. Will Hello Kitty and Mimmy be able to handle the Amish way? Or will they succumb to all the modern things that Badtz-Maru and his two cohorts Pandaba and Hana-Maru purposely expose them to (teasing them mischeviously to see if they can really resist living the modern way)? It soon leads to an argument over which type of life is better- --the Amish life or the modern life.
