Synopsis

When it comes to the supernatural, Momo Ayase is completely convinced that ghosts are real but aliens are total nonsense. Her classmate Ken Takakura — who everyone calls Okarun — is the exact opposite: aliens are real, ghosts are fake. After a chance encounter where Momo stands up for him against bullies, they make a bet to prove each other wrong. Momo heads to a UFO hotspot, Okarun visits a haunted tunnel, and naturally, they're both right. Momo gets abducted by actual aliens, which accidentally awakens her psychic powers, while Okarun gets cursed by a vengeful spirit that gives him terrifying transformation abilities. Now they're stuck dealing with both aliens and ghosts, and neither of them is remotely prepared for it. The dynamic between these two carries the whole show. Their bickering feels genuine, the comedy hits without undercutting the action, and when things get serious, the stakes land. Science SARU went all in on the animation — fight sequences are fluid, creative, and genuinely surprising in how they're staged. If you liked the cursed-entity battles of Jujutsu Kaisen or the escalating absurdity of Mob Psycho 100, this is in that neighborhood but with its own weird energy. It's a 12-episode TV series from 2024 based on a shounen manga, and it moves fast — no filler, no dragging. The tone sits somewhere between heartfelt and completely unhinged, often in the same scene. Noragami fans will also find a lot to like here with the supernatural odd-couple setup.

When the yokai reveals itself as a “mother,” the whole situation completely changes.

At first, she seems like a threat, but we start to see another side of her — how she became attached to the girl after mistaking her for her real daughter, and how she stayed to protect her. It shifts from something scary to something surprisingly emotional.

The moment when she offers her aura to save the girl shows how much she truly cares, even though they’re not related. The goodbye hug is especially powerful, and it’s unexpected considering how the girl acts at school.

Overall, it’s an emotional episode that shows even monsters can have feelings, completely changing how you see her character, and it’s definitely worth watching.

to be honest i was waiting for something more epic to be a final episode, i feel like to see a generic episode of the series, was entertainment but like the others nothing to special, specially when you linking with a cliffhanger, i expected more, sorry
was entertainment, but i think than sometimes, turn off, in this case, abuse many of the exaggerate humor, probably that is that idea of the dan da dan spirit, but something can giving more of it, because the series got a great potential, by now is entertainment an that is enoug
