Synopsis:

The narrative follows the Amars, a family venturing into a sprawling, ancient forest rumored to hold forgotten histories. Their journey is less about grand quests and more about navigating the quiet complexities of familial bonds amidst an unfamiliar environment. The forest itself acts as a character, subtly influencing their perceptions and testing their resilience. As they explore, they encounter remnants of past civilizations – strange structures and echoes of lives lived long ago. The story emphasizes observation and discovery over direct confrontation, prompting reflection on legacy, memory, and the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. It’s a contemplative exploration of personal growth framed by the mystique of a hidden landscape.

For a short parody series of something that is a comedy show, this is wholly unfunny. I'm a big fan of Kuragehime, and this is probably the most disappointing thing I could have watched. The story isn't very good, and when they try to make jokes, they fall flat. Very flat. I don't even really understand how anyone could find them funny. For a show with great animation, sound, and character development, it seemed like these all should have been of a decently high quality. Unfortunately, even the sound (which in my opinion is pretty hard to mess up) wasn't nearly as good as the originalshow.nnI found myself not enjoying this at all. If, by some odd choice, you feel like watching it, go ahead. It's a decent enough way to waste three minutes of your time, but there are much better things one could be watching instead. It's honestly a bit of a pity. nnOverall, if you're a fan of Kuragehime and are considering watching this, go watch the original. It's much more satisfying than having to sit through even the three minutes of this.

Its been 9 or 10 years since Ive seen the orignal series. And yet here I am watching the specials because I didnt know they existed at the time. And watching this 30 second an episode anime I didnt expect much at all. But knowing the characters, why would they go into the forest? What would provoke them given their individual geek passions to make them go out into the forest together? Maybe Im dumb but nothing comes to mind. So this little mini series is useless and a waste of money in my opinion. they dont belong in the forest, as I(a weeb) doesnt belong in the forest). So the creators of this anime short series needs to reevaluate what they do and do better.
