Synopsis:

This animated series presents lighthearted reinterpretations of classic Japanese folktales. The stories follow familiar figures – spirits, monsters, and legendary heroes – reimagined in humorous and often unexpected scenarios. Set against a backdrop subtly inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, the anime emphasizes comedic timing and character interactions over grand narratives. It explores themes of cultural memory and the enduring power of storytelling through playful subversion of established myths. Viewers can expect a gentle pace and witty dialogue, offering a refreshing take on familiar legends rather than a deep dive into complex plotlines. The overall experience is one of charming amusement and subtle reflection on tradition.
