** “A Trip To The Slopes” involves Spencer turning into a Gundam bot to get revenge on the Australian surfer dude who disowned the Snow Lady in the middle of Hawaii. Said episode also has a scene where the Snow Lady undergoes a Sailor Moon-esque transformation sequence when she brings a flurry of snow back to the mountains.

* RecycledAnimation: In the Miramax dub, footage is reused ad-nauseum, with some reused animation cycles being blatantly obvious, such as the taxi driving in reverse in "20,000 Leagues Beneath a C+".

''Tokyo Pig'', probably better known in Japan as ''Hare Tokidoki Buta'' (はれときどきぶた or "Cloudy with a Chance of Pigs") than in the rest of the world, is a comedy anime directed by Creator/ShinichiWatanabe[[note]]Who should not be confused with [[Creator/ShinichiroWatanabe Shinichi"rou" Watanabe]] who directed Anime/CowboyBebop, an anime meant very much for older viewers.[[/note]] based on a series of picture books. The show revolves around the main character, a young boy by the name of Noriyasu (or Spencer in the English translation), and his pet pig, Harebuta ("Sunny Pig) which he created by drawing him in a magic diary. Other cast members include [[UnnamedParent "mama" and "papa"]], his sister Tama-chan (Dizzy Lizzy in the English translation), and a weather lady called Yamada-ana (literally, "Announcer Yamada").

A poor dub was made by a company called "Studio E", and distributed by Miramax Television, airing on what is now Creator/{{Freeform}}, with only 28 episodes (out of 61) adapted[[note]]And even then, except for the first two episodes, they were adapted OutOfOrder, and many were skipped, plus, the dub never made it to the end.[[/note]] Additionally, only eight episodes were released on DVD. It's woefully ignored by fansubbers, so the only way to view it is by scouring Nico Nico Video. This is why the show isn't well known outside of Japan (the only other place where it's famous is Philippines where it's known as 'Sunny Pig'). It's very much worth the effort though, and the jokes are generally quite easy to follow even without knowing Japanese, and if you're familiar with Nabeshin's [[Anime/ExcelSaga other]] [[Anime/PuniPuniPoemi works]], you'll know more or less what to expect. Thankfully, someone had uploaded all 61 episodes, with subs, on {{YouTube}}.
