Saint Oniisan is a short, funny anime with a hilarious concept, but it's so short that it doesn't really go much further than that.

• The character designs are weird, Jesus looks like a praying mantis. And the cringe-worthy source material wrote these two formerly renowned religious saints as cute boys who update their blog and do tee shirt prints in their apartment as NEETs.

• I initially ...
