Plot
Eight Mutant Orphans desperately try to get adopted.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Great animation comparable to Moral Orel.
 * 2) Some hilarious jokes such as Lucy falling on a rabbit and killing it and then saying "Why does it smell like rabbit?". Or Aldous trying to suffocate herself but failing and Lucy saying "YAY! Imamilarie Memexes".
 * 3) "Did you knock yourself retarded?".
 * 4) A really nice intro, take a look.
 * 5) Some of the character designs are really well done.
 * 6) Great voice jobs from Adam Reid, Andrew Sebiston, Pete Cugno, Julie Lemieux, Stacey DePass and Dwayne Hill.
 * 7) A lot of creative ideas in this show.
 * 8) The set's look really nice and really add to the atmosphere of the show.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The show's innocent appearance can easily trick longer viewers into watching it due to it's appearance, even with the content warning at the beginning of every episode.
 * 2) Lucy has an highly annoying voice that is just TORTURE on the ears (although some people can find it funny).
 * 3) There is a disturbing part in episode 2 where Brian get's a knife in his head.
 * 4) Some characters can be unlikeable sometimes.
