This one blends supernatural with reality which is something not often seen in short anime. Nanafa Kyan is a little girl who lives in Okinawa. She lives together with her grandmother, older sister, and younger sister who has the ability to see the supernatural. One day, Nanafa sees a seal fall off of a tree and three spirits come out of it. Then, as the days pass, more and more spirits begin to appear. Nanafa has to hilariously balance this and more, all while helping out at Kame Soba, a soba shop run by her grandmother. Suddenly, Nanafa’s life has become a lot more hectic. It’s sure to make you laugh.

Whenever people complain that idol anime, be it male or female is overrated and beaten to death, I always point them to this Winter 2016 show. Sure, the market is saturated with idol anime, but this was made by someone to point out how ridiculous idol anime can be. Miki has somehow landed a job at an entertainment company being a manager! She walks into a stern meeting on day one and then is introduced to the upcoming male idol unit she will be representing. They are known as Sekkou Boys and are St. George, Mars, Hermes, and Medici! The thing is… that these “boys” are actually marble busts of the actual historical and mythological figures?! With big plans and dreams, they plan to break into the market with their various personalities, but with no bodies and just being marble slabs, are they more than just art? Bonus: If you know Japanese, they make terribly hilarious puns about rocks.

Not really having a choice as she was just randomly selected, she agrees and decides to transform… into a very skimpy bathing suit?! Miton explains that she can now control water. Having second, third, and fourth thoughts, she slowly begins to accept Miton, her perverted guide, as he teaches her how to be a magical girl.

10/10 the best animated series you will ever see. Agetarou Katsumata lives with his family in Shibuya.

When you look at them Galko, Otako, and Ojou are three girls from three very different walks of life. Galko has bright blond hair, an ample chest a few buttons away from bursting open, and acts like a gyaru. Then you have Otako, a girl who dresses rather drab and is a total otaku. Finally, there is Ojou, a young lady of fine stature. These three girls are actually friends! Galko, contrary to her exterior, is friendly and inquisitive, Otako is rather saucy and sarcastic, and Oujo, while sweet and pure, is really bad at delivering her thoughts and says the worst things at the worst times. These three girls, sometimes along with the help of the boys around them, talk about urban myths, makeup, puberty, anime, and more. All for our hilarious viewing pleasure. One thing is for sure, someone is bound to speak their mind quickly and honestly. The only one ever getting uncomfortable is Galko herself sometimes!
