This series is such a trash. Even the intro theme is absolutely cringe-worthy, like the show itself.

This is a terrible anime, and it is a strong contender for the worst animated show ever made. Is dumb, is unoriginal, is annoying, the characters are bland and clichéd, it has zero imagination, it has bad animation and it fails even at the most basic level.

I absolutely despise shows like this. In fact, I absolutely despise all those lame series that try to be the "next Pokemon" or the "next Yugioh" (This includes non Japanese cartoons like "Chaotic" or "Monsuno"). This show tries to be both and fails miserably.

This show is a complete waste of time and it deserves to be completely forgotten.

Is a sad thing that (Despite the existence of television shows as "The Simpsons", "Daria", "Spawn" and "The Maxx") many people still consider animation as "kiddy stuff". This kind of mentality annoys me a lot, and it only served to limit all the potential western animation ever had.

If it wasn't for this biased perception, the western animation industry would be just as big (if not bigger) and more varied than the anime industry from Japan. Sadly, thanks to many self proclaimed "moral guardians", soccer moms, bad imitators of Disney and Hanna Barbera, and people who thinks that kids are morons unable to handle anything more complex than stuff like Barney the Dinosaur or Pokemon, animation in this side of the world never had the chance to reach its full potential, despite some admirable efforts worth of recognition.

Fortunately, thanks to the advent of the Internet, now is possible to see and appreciate the works of many different independent animators which have on the web far more creative freedom they would have on regular television.

David Firth is one of those talented web animators, and Salad Fingers is probably his most iconic and fascinating creation, a creepy and surreal series of shorts about an strange characters who who inhabits a desolate world, having any sort of weird "adventures" in each chapter.

It might sound like a very simple concept, yet the incredibly haunting atmosphere, and the weird but somehow endearing main character are able to make "Salad Fingers"a unique, totally fascinating series, perfect for those viewers who enjoy the weird and unconventional material the Internet is able to offer.

Animations like this are a breath of fresh air in a time when it seems there is nothing new under the sun. In a time when both horror and animation seem stagnated due the biased perceptions the general public had towards both genres, I say thanks for creative and atypical creators like David Firth, who definitely deserve far more credit and recognition.
