As well as Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemi is a wacky satirical parody. There are also more or less the same names in both series, starting with the director Shinichi Watanabe. Unsurprisingly, Puni Puni Poemi is an OVA continuation of Excel Saga, even though there are new characters:
- Poemi Watanabe: A hyperactive 10-year-old girl. She's even worse than Excel, and now that's serious!! She calls herself Watanabe and wants to be a voice actress. On the other hand, and here's the first parody, she looks like Sakura in Card Captor Sakura.
- Puni Puni Poemi: Now let's see if I get it. Poemi finds a fish, stabs it with a kitchen knife and it becomes a magic item which transforms Poemi into the typical magical girl. Weird.
- Futaba Aasu: Poemi's classmate and best friend. She loves Poemi-chan and well... there is some lesbian stuff in the anime even if it's not explicit as in hentai movies. Of course, she looks like Tomoyo.
- Kumi-kumi-san: Oh... she's the girl from the mountains in Excel Saga and she's Poemi's mother.
- Director (Nabeshin): He's happily married to Kumi-kumi-san and is Poemi's father.
- The Aasu (Earth) family: Oh curious. The girls' names are all related to numbers: Nanase (from nana=7) is the oldest, after her come Mutsumi (muttsu=6), Itsue (itsu=5), Shii (shi=4), Mitsuki (mittsu=3), Futaba (futa=2) and finally Hitomi (hito=1). Shii looks like Hyatt, just that she has enormous breasts and loves to let them rest on top of Poemi's head. Hitomi predicts the future, and she's only 3 years old! Well, this somewhat strange family has to protect the Earth from a race of weird half-dressed aliens.
- Kei-kun: The boy Poemi likes. It's weird that Poemi is as genki as she is and still she can't manage to talk with Kei-kun.
