A 12-chapter, one-shot volume manga released in 2007, getting an anime almost 2 decades later? The ambition runs high for those who want to see mangaka Hisaya Shiraiwa's lone work adapted in its short, but sweet form.

The Sentai Daishikkaku-inspired feeling with the combatant of Kenji Isobe, he's one half a villain, and the other half, a regular salaryman.

It's truly short and sweet to the point of being a villain minion...in the evil corporation Ganglion, set in early 2000s Tokyo.

Its airing on at-x, the raw is in the cat site. It's pretty well animated for such a short thing, it also felt like it was cut so abruptly. I wonder if they just produced the whole thing and then divided into chunks like the subway anime from last season.

Will be watching.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been subbed, we often get subs for these random short shows and this one actually looks decent

@Rogersss TBH, I was waiting for any competent fansubber to pick this show as when I'm trying to, I had hard time to translate it. Now the episode was released on cat site and hopefully I'll release the subbed ver in less than 12 hours after WEB-DL release. .-.

and yes, if anyone wondering, I'm also that one of some guys who will sub random ahh short anime seasonally that is not mahou shoujo-centric

It looked promising but with just 3 mins, we basically get nothing...

Looking forward to this as a SOL of daily life of the evil corporate salaryman.
Enjoying the approach so far it is a hard trope to break down. Hope they go all in.

So disappointed. This would be great if it had actual anime length episodes instead of 3 minutes.
The idea is great. A dark comedy on the hardships of an henchmen as a commentary on the suckish nature of the 9 - 5 corporate job. And in some countries the 9 to 9

Heard that it was gonna be shorts but not THAT short. Wish they would have just made 1 or 2 normal length instead. Surprised they even bother making an ED for it as well.

They said it is faithful to it's manga. Man it's also refreshing to watch.
Might give it a high score.

The anime is nothing special but the staff members are top notch.

Seriously, three minutes? I wish it lasted longer, but oh well. From what you can see, it's about how they mundane life as henchmen of an evil company. I hope there are more than 12 episodes, or at least that the content is enough to leave you satisfied.
