The gags in this series are sometimes fairly good, with insignificant cultural features of the Gunma region played up as hugely serious business. However there are only one or two gags, on the same note, in each episode, whereas the best three-minute comedies stuff their run with rapid fire gags. There aren't any memorable characters either. The animation is indifferent, especially the walking girl in the end credits, though the giant Buddha looks rather snazzy. So does the real mayor of Gunma, who somehow found time to put an appearance in, though I don't especially feel like touristing only to Gunma now. Basically, thisis watchable for the overblown mock-horror, but one of the worst watchable shows of the season
