The thing many people love/hate about the works made by Masaaki Yuasa and Tomihiko Morimi (Tatami Galaxy and The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl) is the strange and "weird" style of these animes. I watched Tatami Galaxy for the first time when I was 16, the first two or three episodes were absolute nonsense to me -someone who had just started watching anime.
Two years later, I watch Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome, and I'm confused about everything for the first 20 minutes of the movie. As the story progresses, I find myself lost in its world and the chaotic state of people and things. I finish the movie and suddenly realize that I'm smiling. That's exactly how I felt after finishing Tatami Galaxy too.
Honestly, Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome is a fun anime. Both Masaaki Yuasa and Tomihiko Morimi know what they are doing. I know the art style isn't quite pleasing, and the story is somewhat confusing. But that is not the point. Whether it is Tatami Galaxy or Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome, you shouldn't be paying attention to anything but the flow of the events. If you don't, you're being the MC while the anime wants you to think and feel about it as the main girl.
People love these works because they want to enjoy them. Even with that being said, there is a lot you can learn from Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome. About following your fate, about trying to fight with it, about love, etc. There's always something new to find in Tatami Galaxy and Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome, all you have to do is to close your eye to the real world and sink in this new, strange universe.
