Hamtaro is is back. Or more specifically Hamtaro is leaving.
Laura and her family have decided to take a trip to the grandmother's house and for some reason they decided to bring the hamster with them.
It's cute from the story point, but it's kind of silly overall. What does one do with a hamster? He's going to stay in the cage the whole time and stare at the little window.
Or at least that's what a normal hamster what do obviously Hamtaro has a knack for escaping his little compound and therefore can go out exploring.
And that's just what he plans to do here.
As he informed his entire little clubhouse of his little Excursion and is hoping to bring them back a bunch of sunflower seeds; Thinking that he can just pick them directly from the flower and take him on home with him.
Obviously he has no real idea of what he's doing as it would be impossible for him to try and even get to the sunflower seeds.
Really the only reason he explored them at all in this episode is because 'Boss' somehow snuck onto the car with him and went on travelling to.
It give us a nice little storyline as we see just Hamtaro and The Boss hanging out with each other, jumping around on sunflower seeds and then freaking out when they realize that all the humans are gone looking for them.
Yes we finally get to a point where Laura has actually acknowledged the escapeability of her little hamster and is quite worried at the prospects of a hamster running out to the middle of the field and never to be seen again.
This does also lead to her and her family roaming around the field for hours on end literally calling for the hamster which obviously is a fruitless effort. But once again these are super hamsters who can comprehend human thought.
I feel like I'm being a little too crucial on this episode. Especially given that you could apply this logic to every episode about sentient hamsters. Perhaps because the episode is so simple. It really is just two hamsters running around the field and then getting slightly lost trying to return back to their grandmother's house in hopes that the humans will eventually return their while looking for them.
We do get one of the first real conflict of the show as both two hamsters fall into the water crossing over a log and nearly drowned.
But luckily the two were able to grab onto a branch and survive their little endeavour. and then somehow they wander back to where they originally started. Not sure how they did that given that they got really lost on their way perhaps they just followed the river back to that bridge that crossed initially.
This episode got me wondering about the human interaction with the hamsters.
Are the humans aware of the hamsters semi-sentient? Like they obviously can't comprehend that they can speak to each other or that they have higher intellect that can lead them to building their own little Societies. But it seems to me that they are smarter than the average animal.
As they (The family) wander around Fields literally calling for a hamster that in reality would never come back to them.
I'm wondering how much of this falls in the Garfield logic where they're kind of a where the hamster sentience but at the same time to tend to ignore it.
And have I put too much thought into a show about cute little fuzzy hamsters.
Well of course I have; Any episode trying to discuss anything about this show is just too much thought.
''Shut up and look at the cute little fuzzy creatures. Aren't they adorable. Don't you want one. Don't you want to live in their perfect little world. Of course I do. They're wonderful one cute.''
Also good on Boss for actually getting Bijou a gift and not screwing it up. I think that's the first time he's had any sort of successful interaction with her in the show outside of the most basic conversation.
