Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and animation lovers.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 11 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Follow the adventures of three ordinary girls as they make life’s awkward moments a thousand times worse. Along with a colorful bunch of classmates, they learn their most important lessons the hard way. Meanwhile down the street, a pocket-sized professor makes life difficult for a robot who just wants to be normal. But normal is the last thing you can expect in a town where salmon falls from the sky. In fact, the only thing you can count on is your friends, but even they are totally weird.
