Synopsis:

The series follows a high school teacher who possesses an unusual ability: he can solve supernatural mysteries that plague his students. Set against the backdrop of a quiet, modern Japanese town, each episode presents a new folkloric enigma manifesting in everyday life – from restless spirits haunting school grounds to strange occurrences within local landmarks. The narrative focuses on the teacher’s methodical approach, blending traditional investigative techniques with an understanding of Japanese mythology and spiritual beliefs. Rather than action-driven conflict, the anime emphasizes atmosphere and character interactions as the sensei unravels the underlying causes of these disturbances, offering a thoughtful exploration of cultural heritage and the blurred lines between the mundane and the mystical. Viewers can expect a contemplative experience that prioritizes intellectual curiosity over spectacle.

Reviews:

User patkarunungan (Score: 4/10):
These are the chibi specials of ‘The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All the Mysteries.’ True to the genre, they're humorous and feature a sharp script. Although I watched this after I finished the anime, it's best that you watch an episode after each episode of the series. It tells you a bit of what will happen in the next episode of the main series. I am rating this a 4 out of 10. While I found it enjoyable, the animation leaves a lot to be desired, resembling early Macromedia Flash Animation. Macromedia Flash Animation Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivH10spioxM To its credit, about 80% of the chibi specialconsists of two characters conversing, so high-quality animation is less essential. Nevertheless, the limited animation budget for the anime is evident here.nnDespite that, I am marking this as recommended. Some episodes reinforce my claim in my review for the main series that Kanna is being mentored by Chuuzenji-sensei into the rational worldview. She even echoes his catchphrase in the final episode of 'There are no mysterious things in the world.'
