Copihan is a funny, surreal little slice of life comedy with a variety of wildly different episodes. They vary in quality and comedic value, but there are plenty of good laughs to be had here, especially in regards to how it explores many of the same stories from different angles across its brief runtime. Also interesting to see its predictions for the future, taking place in 2034. Namely, it predicts that physical money will cease to be used, and that phones will be used for homework in some capacity. Of the episodes on offer, I'd say that episode 2 is most likely my favorite, asit sets up the school radio show gag for later, and has an interesting multimedia section that was totally unexpected.

This brings me to the art, which I believe is the strongest aspect of Copihan. First off, it is immediately apparent that Kei, best known for Hatsune Miku, handled the character designs here, thus giving the whole show this archetypal 2000s look, which I enjoy immensely, even if it did air in 2011. The art style and character designs are fun and pair well with the comedy aspect.

The sound is good, with strong, characteristic voice work and a lighthearted soundtrack.

The characters are all great, even if they're not that complex. Of them, my favorite is Hiromi, that girl with the puppet, both for her compelling design and her interplay with the puppet. Overall, Copihan is a fun little dose of the 2000s, and the special episode takes all of this anime's best aspects and elevates them further in terms of technical quality. This is an easy anime to recommend as a quick and nostalgic watch.
