So it's about an office lady that gets transported into a "quiz world" and needs to find the answer to puzzle so she can leave, if she can't...well we never know by the end of it. Right this "could" be interesting...if the puzzle weren't a mishmash of English and Japanese and vague hints at times.
Really, if your just in it for the puzzles, it "ok" as an anime short, but as in context to Tokine Amino's character it's fine. But having context to the outer rules of the "Quizun" and a "mascot" of the Quizun doesn't tell us almost ANYTHING about Quizun besides Tokine and how she got here and ANSWER the puzzle, it's not really wasted potential but it would be interesting for a bit of fantasy world building but no, focus on puzzle. Even if the final episode did have Hacchin tell a little about what the Quizun world, it doesn't do much about Tokine's situation in all this and the mere fact that Hacchin hints that "she's gonna see Hacchin again", baiting for another season isn't much to go by.
Nazotokine also has a formula to how it flows. Tokine voiced by Natsuko Hara and friends goes to a place they found, during their off time, they give some personality to Tokine or some of her friends, Tokine gets riled up to the point she gets transported to the Quiz World, next episode, she solves the puzzle, rinse and repeat 4 times. Again LA can't be entirely harsh to this kind of anime short as again some of the puzzles as vague as they are, are "interesting" in a barest minimum and "trying" to give character trait to Tokine and her friends are ok enough, but the formula and the mascot Hacchin voiced by Sora Tokui doesn't tell you squat about the Quiz world to have a bit of structure and more detail to it all to make it at least a bit more interesting, instead go with formula, forget context and make Tokine moan after each puzzle solved...yeah they go there...-sigh-.
The animation by Tengu Kobo is sparse at best from constant chibi character faces to decent character designs, but come Quiz World, it goes both ways, Hacchin is entirely CGI, but the Quizun is bright and colorful at the same time, but as LA said, the animation is sparse, but not horrible.
Nazotokine, instead a horrible anime short, if your into English and Japanese mishmash puzzles and just want to see a limited amount of characters go through defining their traits under limited animation it's ok at best. If the puzzles are your sole focus, it'll get your interest much like Tokine is forced to. If you "Question" anything else about Quizun or WHY Tokine has to do these puzzles forever...your gonna go nowhere, because of this, Nazotokine isn't an outright horrible anime short, it has problems sure, but not enough to call it horrible, it's just "meh" for LA at best, but not enough to rage about.
