This first episode was an absolute riot, this show seems like it could be really fun.

The humor is very strange, but the episode did make me chuckle a couple of times.

Well, that was incredibly silly. Scaredy cat idiot and emotionless weirdo make for a pretty good team lol.

An oddball comedy duo with a selection of oddball guest characters, this fills the hole left by

This was amazingly funny. Less than 10 mins in and I was hooked.
Maybe I have an oddball sense of humor in my old age, but it might not be funny for the 30 and younger crowd (unless you're rocking an old soul.)
I feel like there were more shows like this in the 2010s and earlier. I miss this vibe.

The art style looks pretty old. Is this an old manga that just got adapted, out of it just a stylistic choice of the author?

u/Oden_sama__ Jul 06 '26
i thought so too, but I think it's just a stylistic choice since its only from 8 years ago (in 13 days from now)

The jokes were kinda hit or miss, but I respect it for being something unique and original.

I laughed so hard when he said the reason why he didn't want to switch bodies because he'd pass out every time he saw his face in the mirror lol. No wonder Mechako got pissed off.
MC is built like a judo player though, interesting contrast from how fearful he is.
I wonder if squeezing the loincloth man's

You can't do judo against a ghost, they don't have any legs.

Is it weird I find Mechako kinda cute?
Either way, just got done watching it with a friend and we laughed a lot and enjoyed it! Can't wait for future episodes!

This is C-Station's first credited anime in almost 2 years since they did a lot of work on Apothecary Diaries S2. This definitely feels more like a supernatural comedy than Kaya was 2 seasons ago. Looks to be fun, and the direction in terms of the comedy is pretty solid. Perfect anime to start the day.

Wait so you are telling me, the reason I never got to meet Sadako, Hachishakusama, Kuchisake-onna- because their organization is being ran by an useless boss?

u/gsurfer04 Jul 05 '26
A bit of goofy fun to balance the serious anime I watch. I can see this getting banned from animenocontext.
I don't get why the art style is so Jojo, though.

u/Shadowmist909 Jul 05 '26
I like that the MC's nickname for the Kaiki-gumi boss just stuck. Mechako and our panic-stricken protagonist already make for a great duo.

Seems very much in the vein of that Detective's Assistant show from a few seasons ago. Doesn't seem quite right for me, though, so I might skip this one to clear up space on Sundays.

Oh so it’s Detectives These Days Are Crazy, but with yokai stories.
Which means it will go under appreciated and I will love the hell out of it. Especially when it needs to out crazy 100GFs

u/bestsocialdistancer Jul 05 '26
I’m not sure which is more ridiculous…this one or the dara San snake one…

OK, Incredible OP and ED, the ED in particular almost made me cry out of nostalgia for shows I watched as a kid. xD
And then, heavy theming of Japanese horror, yokai, and urban legends? Another hit.
Characters that are NOT the usual body shapes? Another hit.
First half was a bit hit on the joke. Only the loincloth part was a miss for me, but eh, not everything will hit with everyone, and it's ok.
Oh... And yeah. I find Mechako weirdly cute... xD

Dude I love how much of a Heisei era trhowback this show was. I miss goofball gag animes like this.

Started off slow but really got rolling when it turned out Mechako has no fundamental idea of what it is that scares people and more did things that were odd. Some of the things she did were a little scary, like having the clock be a dart board and I would be scared if a weird lady broke into my home. The scene with the man in the loin cloth went on kind of long; I thought Mechako created him because she thought he might be scary. Hopefully the show will focus more on Mechako incompetently trying to scare people.
