Obatalian

📖 SYNOPSIS

"Obatalian" presents six stories centered around a single "Obatalian," a pun combining "obaasan" (old lady) and "battalion."

They also engage in relentless haggling, even for items not typically negotiated, such as grocery store produce. The anime portrays these women as fearless and pitiless, akin to a battalion of barbarians. Each story showcases the Obatalian's unique brand of destruction and the impact she has on those around her, highlighting her relentless pursuit of her goals. The series focuses on the comedic and often disruptive nature of this particular type of elderly woman.
