Unlike poop-a, this was a good short anime. Too bad it's not very popular.

I wonder what would Po-chan look like as a little boy...

It told so much in just 4 minutes, it was incredible. What a sad story for Wakaba and Po-chan. I watched it just now, and it was a pretty sad way to start my morning haha but it was worth it.

I've read some of the manga and in general the anime tones down the dark stuff a bit, so I'm kind of a surprised to see a ghost-induced miscarriage in here. It really hammers home how dangerous and cruel the spirits are.

The time-traveling miscarried son thing is OK, I guess. I kinda liked the idea that the body he formed is just a vaguely human-shaped blob.

I might be confusing something, but didn't they say they would reborn as different people? I didn't quite get this ending. The rest was pretty amazing for a short series.

I take it that it wasn't completely different in this case more this time they won't have spiritual awareness, but keep everything else. Amazing series

Is it spring yet? Must be my allergies. My eyes won't stop watering.

Dem feels. Everything falls into place with this last episode. Although I still wonder what happened to that old pedo.

That's the impression I got. I always thought being "reborn" to them meant literally dying and reincarnated as someone else to another family. They made it sound like it was going to be a tough decision, and leaning in that direction. But they're no different from before other than gaining that they wanted in the first place; relief from losing their spiritual awareness!

Those two jealous kids with shark teeth seem well suited for each other.

A very nice end. If they had a bigger budget, I bet they could have compiled everything into a short OVA series of a couple of episodes, or a short 45min movie.

Didn't like the format of this series. Just like Pupa, it's hard to remember the plot week after week, when you're watching 30 other shows at the same time :( But it was quite nice. I think what ultimately ruined my experience were the first few episodes (it came off as a dark comedy kind of show) and the age of the protagonists. I'll leave it at a 6/10 and will rewatch it (aka marathon) in the future.

The age of the characters were a bit awkward...

I also got the impression it was a complete rebirth as new people, but I guess that isn't the case. Then why did it seem like such a big deal?

Oh well, I won't criticize it that much. It was like, what, 45 mins altogether of content? It still managed to interest me than most of the other shows this season, so I'm satisfied. Good job.

About the whole rebirth thing, people seem to forget that neither Wakaba, Naoya or Azuma were dead when they got into the Spirit Realm, they went in with their bodies fully intact, so it makes sense they'd get out as themselves as well. The whole reincarnation thing probably only counts for loose souls, not for souls that still possess their own bodies.

Also, did their spiritual awareness disappear, or did the ghosts? I think Po's interference with the past caused the future to change to one where he would be born, so the latter seems more plausible to me, as the former could still result in Wakaba losing her future child, and it's clear that Po did this all to prevent that.

Wakaba :(
Po-chan :(
This was so touching, a son breaking time and space to meet his mother and save her and his dad from a cruel fate at the cost of his life but it's worth it because he loves his mom and doesn't want her to suffer at the hands of evil.

Damn this is the deepest short I have ever seen, that plot twist was unexpected, but it fit pretty damn well and the ship has set sail.

I'm not sure how what Po did would change their future with him, though? I guess it is because they won't attract negative spirits anymore? But it felt a little bit like they just wouldn't see it happening instead because there will still be spirits around in the world. Still, it was a sweet series. :)

This was pretty decent for a short series.

The art was very nice, the characters weren't retarded (it appears to be a trend these days, see: Sakura Trick), the story was interesting.

And in the end, it was actually better than most of the 24min ones that aired this season. Props.

Not aborted! He seems to have been still-born. Some nasty thing took him (involuntarily) into the afterlife, eh?

Jeez! What suggests it was aborted? Why in the world would she?

Terrific series! Shows what can be done in a "short format" eh? Of course little hope for a second season (unless the manga carries the story on...)
