I loved this series. It's heavily underrated right now on MAL. I wonder why people didn't like it. Maybe people were expecting something cheery and upbeat and were put off by how serious some episodes were.

Plus 1. I'm really sad this anime dropped to the lien of 6. I wonder why.

But great story. Great ending. Great twist. Best short airtime anime I've watched in years.

Most people just don't give short series (that aren't related to full length shows) high scores.

Wow that was pretty good, but I am confused, Wakaba and Yuuki weren't reborn, right? Or were they? Yuuki said something about them being reborn, but.. they still kept the same appearance and personality? Hmm..?

But oh well, seems like WakabaxYuuki is a thing now, Wakaba sort of confessed to Yuuki indirectly.

Could they rush this story any more? My god this was a bad episode. The whole show is downright bad if you think how boring and slow everything unfolds untill this last episode. Meh. You can't expect us to like it when you for the first 14 episodes decide to take the slow route and then BAM PLOT TWISTS!!! Everything felt forced and fake. Nothing was genuine because if you want something genuine in anime, you need time.

5/10, but that's just because I'm too lazy to actually think of reasons to lower it further.

BEST SHORT ANIME EVER

That parting scene was really sad T_T Thankfully all ends well. Now Wakaba and Yuuki only need to keep their relationship stay that way.. Cute couple and really good ending.

If only there were more budgets for this project, a full length movie would've been awesome and perfect. Btw, Wakaba's seiyuu really did a good job!

8/10.

Whoa what's with the suddenly good reveal/ending. Didn't see it coming at all.

This series would have been better if the irritating megane-chan friend wasn't there.

Why the heck its score is so low? Anime fans are weird.

Anyway, this anime was rushed and a little bit forced at times, but still touching.

A solid 6/10 for me

Well that's not exactly being reborn is it? Good series. But I could have done without the last minute or so. I think it took away from the ending. I'm giving it a 8 for now, I might lower it to a 7 though.

What. You gave it a lower score than the average and complain about it's MAL score?

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...

So Po was their child in the future that was taken by spirits. A bittersweet ending that became happy ending. I liked it. A pretty good short I must say. I wonder if the manga continues it. I might give it a read. It's done and it's also pretty short too.

Wtf Japan ! you just ruined Children (if they are any) childhood with that ending. Doesn't mean it's bad but for kid show like this the ending was really daring.

Man, the only thing forced here are some of these comments.

Pretty good story for its length. Think I ignored this show while airing because I mistook its title for Pupa.

Missed it when it originally aired, didn't know it was made by the author of Hi-score Girl. Now I know how his art style might look animated :) This series is pretty good, a lot of plot for such short episodes.

8/10 right up my alley

Also an afterthought: it's like (according to anime) the only place where a socially awkward person might suffer more than high school is grade school. Geez Japan

i didn't understand so did he disappear at the end ? it showed him staying in the weird painting , also isn't the same thing going to happen now ? if they don't see the ghosts then this time it would be a lot easier now to abduct him

So... were they now reincarnated on go on with their lives, which somehow was an option, or not? And if she went on with her abilities, then wouldn't that mean that Po is going to die again? It's so weird, because they didn't "lose" their memories as it is standard for those kinds of anime.

Still a very good show with great animation, that was almost a couple of years ahead of it's time (I'm looking at you High Score Girl) and the feels that I feared were snuck in were not that heavy.

I guess it's official now, Yuuki and Wakaba will be married in the future and Po will be their child. They also seemed to have lost their powers, wouldn't say I liked that, but nonetheless I'm happy for them since they didn't want them anyways.

This was the best short anime I've ever seen so far. I was drawn to the story and the characters. I liked everything about it. Po was my favorite character, he really protected his parents, I'm sad he disappeared, but they will meet in the future though.

7/10.

So it was finally confirmed that Po-chan was indeed the spirit of Wakaba's future dead baby (or fetus), huh? Super dark revelation but honestly, this should have been confirmed sooner since it was already quite obvious since episode 9.

Not the best of endings if I'm honest. Po-chan's identity was delayed for so long it felt incredibly rushed once it was finally confirmed here. In my opinion, too rushed to let emotions settle properly.

5/10 - Decent set of shorts overall.

I think this is really good short! I understand that there are some things that were rushed but the story itself is really nice and for me, memorable.

And does anyone noticed this poster?


That is the dictator old man, right? What does the poster says? Lol

Oh boy they return but in a normal state without supernatural sensitivity. Without Po, without all the weirdness...

Tbh i may appreciate this more if they don't cut certain corner. But it is what it is. I may return to read the final page then even though i don't think this is a satisfying result to the missing page i've read, beyond the third volume.

All in all, this is okay.
