So BNA is just big nuts
Have you seen brand new animal
Thet tanuki girl
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED ONE
Came here after watching the second episode of BNA. Not disappointed.
I thought he was talking about tanuki from super mario bros 3
Tanuki…..i came from super lovers
Yokai as an anime kids show
And a Korean tanuki is leading character in a Furry novel I enjoy. He is a bit of a caniver too☺️
Thank God, Tom, Timmy and Tommy wear aprons or clothing
I just put a tanuki outside Nooks cranny because they looked similar, I didn’t know that was culturally accurate 👁👄👁
Wow no one noticed he’s more about Japanese culture then American. It was Wile E Coyote who painted the tunnel….
kintamas :3
I learned many buttsack
too bad Michiru doesn't have balls…
And here i was falling in love with the cute ver of the modern art, animation,tanuki…but when i got back to google,result are shown as a creepy tanuki in the night with their eye glowing in the darkness and accidentally my brain start making up on how tanuki sounded like and also lead me to wander of by imagination that lead me into a dark forest alone with that mischief tanuki…..ok im scared of the old version tanuki
I understand now why they changed Tanuki Mario's gliding to resemble a flying squirrel.
Prob wouldn't do well with western moms. xD
That was amazing narrating.
Now I can't think Poco without thinking Yokai Tanuki that have great big b a l l s
Chopper is a Tanuki confirmed
I, Tanuki Nuts, approve this message.

2:47 Wild E. COYOTE makes the wall paintings. Road Runner just runs through it. While WE. COYOTE is bound by physics of matter, he crashes into walls, flung by his traps, and falls due to gravity.
Tan tan tan tanoki no KINTAMA!
I'm never seeing Super Mario 3 the same again
Sure, I guess if you have such ridiculously massive scrotum you'd get creative to cope with the inconvenience of it…Build things, paint faces on it…hang it out to dry on a clothesline??
I come here after watchng pompoko..
Who is here after watching Shaman King 2021 ?
Feeding ppl feces is more humane than feeding them cruel cancer-invoking "foods", such as McD's and CCola -_-
/ in my personal humble opinion, at least. /
Gimme the horse sh<3t, keep MCD's to yerselff
Came here after watching Pom Poko. The movie was a punch in the gut.
I can now understand why the Pom Poko anime had the super balls on these guys. LoL
Strange to say the least 🤣
Avatar: The last ballsbender racoon dogs!
Lol
Is it pronounced tahn-ookey or tan-ookey
What's a will-o-wisp
Guess that’s one way to use em. As papa said you use em or lose em
They are the lawn gnomes of japan?
you know…we talk about the insult to injury with the turkey
you die, just to have your head shoved up your butt
…but can we talk about the horror of the nutt wallet?
Imagine walking up to a black and white wild dog and it puts a leaf on it’s head and turns into a human, what you doin?
