----------------------------------------
This time, it's about a girl who wants to become an Obake, but is scared of ghost stories. She seems to have very good luck too; being able to get her hands of Excalibur three times!

That ending though.. So, drinking too much milk will earn you a special power strong enough to destroy the earth? O.o

This week's short was hilarious, especially with all the references.

The ending credits with those old photographs was funny, but also somewhat creepy.

What's with this mediocre translation? I hope you're weeaboo enough to already know what "obake" and "shinigami" mean.

That was sort of cute. The Eva references were funny... melons. But, they really need to stop with the Eva references. Nice EoE Komm Susser Tod melody version credits... dang I need to watch all that again. So was that a Rebuild4 spoiler at the end there?

That was good! I loved Nichijou and this short really felt like that ^^ Especially the vending machine scenes and the evangelion "beam of doom" at the end. I also liked that they used an eva soundtrack for that scene + komm süsser tod ending!

4/5

That was super cute, probably the cutest short so far. Also that 3.0 skit. I wonder who is director Koyama Shigeto, can't say the name rings a bell.

Ah, he does key animation on the Rebuilds.

What the heck was the point of this one?
It was just random pointless scenarios featuring Obake-chan one after another, it didn't even really tell any story, and none of the scenarios were funny enough to stand on their own...

Easily my least favorite thus far... well, Me! Me Me! was possibly worse.

I did enjoy the ending credits, though... the music was nice and the hidden picture stuff was a nice touch. However, I would have liked seeing Obake-chan inserted into those photos more if she was actually a fun character...

A cute series of mini shorts within a series of shorts. Huh.

The linework here is actually pretty interesting in how they denote space, movement and emotions using simple lines. That's something I've always admired about anime, and minimalistic works like these really show that attribute off. Then the ending happened and stuff happened. Oh, and that ending photo montage reminded me of stuff like Slenderman or something, which, well, yeah. Shigeto Koyama did the key animation and designs for a number of Gainax and Trigger works in the past, as well as the character design for Heroman and the first episode of Space Dandy S2.

...That's one hell of a leap to this though.

Soooooo cute~

Obake-chan is a fledgling ghost that's scared of scary stories and she wants to be like Shinigami-senpai in the future. She's also quite a klutz when it comes to her cat.

She has walked in her sister fully naked while watching something possibly lewd in the internet, became the chosen one for three times and got struck by oppai lightning. If only I could see what's under the sheet at the time...

That ending was unexpected ,_, It reminded me of that anime where the kid stabbed his thumb because he opened his pen the wrong way and committed mass destruction xD

The ED was so cute and the Obake-chan spotted montage was both funny and unsettling. I want this to become a full series~
