I have NEVER experienced an anime with such a strong development of a relationship between two aliens.
Stitch focuses on "Yuna", a blue alien from space, whom has recently crash landed on a new island in which she meets an alien with a similar situation. These 2 aliens work together to accomplish 40 good deeds, thereby granting them an ultimate power!
The plot continues from the original Lilo and Stitch Saga, and brings fourth the same level enjoyment brought by the original.
Stitch is my far my favorite Animeme!

Lilo and Stitch without Lilo and Stitch is not Lilo and Stitch. And thus, I present you with Lilo and Stitch that is not Lilo and Stitch but just some random spinoff created by Disney Japan and Madhouse: Stitch!
Let's just pretend this never happened and that Leroy and Stitch was the real ending to Lilo and Stitch. In this case, let's just pretend this was produced in America and is a cartoon and that this happened and was made in America, not Japan. Let's pretend that all that what I'm saying is the wholesome truth.
Now that my silly rant is over, I'll go on with my real review of this.
What's the story?
Well, this is sequel/spinoff to the cartoon Lilo and Stitch. It takes place AFTER Leroy and Stitch's canon. Lilo has grown up, Stitch has returned to space, but now he's gone back to Earth, meets some girl named Yuna and now lives with her instead of Lilo. Stitch must do good deeds while he is on Earth in order to get some wish granted.
Very straightforward plot I guess. Fair all around. I guess it's nothing too terrible. It's...very typical of Disney. ....Since it's quite Disney typical, you know what to expect from a Disney "cartoon". Even turning this into an anime doesn't change that.
I'd love to give the animation a "one" But, the animation is exactly the same as it ever was. It's not even animated like an anime, but just like the cartoon. That's not even any special. Then again, what point would there be to animate this like an anime?
The sound isn't anything you will ever hear in an anime, so nothing to see here. Stitch is probably voiced by the same people as he is in the English version, but I would not know; I watched this anime dubbed because I COULDN'T FIND IT IN JAPANESE PAST EPISODE ONE.
The characters are alright. I don't like Yuna, I don't like any of the Yokai, but at least Stitch can talk much more than he could in the cartoon now.
Overall, I often found myself pretending this show never happened. I often pretended this was a cartoon and produced in America. I often pretended that this was not an anime, but it was decent, I guess. Just not suited for an anime format when it was barely anime to begin with...
65 out of 100, I guess.
