Tadaima! Chibi Godzilla

This anime answers the age-old question: what if Godzilla was actually concieved as a Sanrio character? Or, to be more descriptive, what if Godzilla was a cute, adorable mascotte to buy merchandise of?

This series is basically a 4-koma animated: every episode is 30 seconds long, opening and ending included, and it usually depicts a delightful/humorous in which Chibi Godzilla and his... roomate?, Satomi, find themselves in, which gets resolved in an amusing way, intended to make you smile. Every episode is self-standing, except for the first and last one that mirror one another: maybe a predictable concept, but one I still found adorable. This ONA ... knows perfectly what it is, and I find that it focuses on what it's set out to do quite well, creating stories that fit the timing of the episode while also managing to include references to the rest of the Godzilla franchise. They are definitely unfrequent, and focused on the most peculiar moment of movie canon/superficial characteristics of the most recognizable monsters, but they're a backbone of the series nonetheless.

However, if you're not looking for short amusing moments to watch on a strict time management, this series has nothing else of note. Animation is fine at best, and it's mostly based on almost-still images, plot is nonexistent and characters besides Chibi-Godzilla and Satomi appear very little outside of the ending. In conclusion, despite its short lenght, you have to be in a specific mood to enjoy this.
