Okay, I need to yell about this show for a second. Went in totally blind, zero hype, didn’t even know it was 3 minutes per episode. Thought it’d be some cheap superhero parody and ended up snorting at my phone on the bus like an idiot. The whole joke is that the evil organization trying to destroy the world… is just a regular Japanese company. Evil overlord? Middle manager with a comb-over. Giant kaijus? Interns in monster suits begging for overtime pay. World domination plans get shut down because accounting won’t approve the budget for the death ray. It’s so stupid it loops back around to genius. Art’sthis perfect ugly-cute 2000s style that looks like it crawled out of a forgotten PS2 game—fits the vibe 100 %. Characters are walking HR nightmares: the guy who’s been “acting section chief” for 8 years, the new hire who still believes in the mission statement, the boss who schedules doomsday for next quarter because this quarter’s numbers are bad. Every reaction feels like something you’ve seen at your own job, except they’re blowing up cities while crying about health insurance.
Is the plot predictable? Yeah, obviously. But who cares when every episode feels like a middle finger to real-life work culture. If you’ve ever had a stand-up meeting about the stand-up meeting, this will heal you.
7.0/10 easy. Wish it was longer but also kinda perfect that it isn’t. Just watch it, trust me.
