In the short anime Honto ni Atta! Reibai Sensei, a small class of students receives a new teacher: the occult-loving Kibayashi Juri who speaks with spirits and yokai and who promptly summons the spirit of Oda Nobunaga into the body one of her students (permanently), burning down her classroom as their new school life begins. Most episodes revolve either around the various classmates (some of them being an hilariously poor girl, a delinquent who kinda looks like a Cromartie High School character and an adorable aho-genki girl) interacting with Kibayashi and sometimes with the science teacher Nagara-sensei, her rival who doesn't believe in the occult, throwninto the mix. Be it hosting a mystery hotpot party or infiltrating a mysterious inn in Mt. Cat to help their friend from another class find her missing cat, this teacher and her class never have a peaceful day. Let's also not forget the 4 or 5 episode long subplot revolving around the feline characters. There's Kuroneko, a male black cat with an extremely adorable voice who has a fateful encounter with the very own King of Cats and the three really cool space cats from the We Wanna Conquer Earth Squad who came to Earth in order to rule it with an iron paw.

There isn't much to say about the animation, it kinda looks like it was animated in flash and is almost slideshow-like... except for the last episode which is very, very special and different, but that's something for you to find out. I wouldn't call the animation bad either way, I think the budget style fits this kind of anime well. The three different EDs are all amazing too, especially the last one, too bad they're very short. There's not much character development either if at all, but there are some small interesting moments where certain characters break out of their archetypes.

All in all, this is a really good short with some laughs to be had and it's worth watching for Kibayashi's and the cat's designs alone, they're all very cute.
