Story
Synopsis
Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, known as Okarun, get into a dumb argument about whether aliens or ghosts are real, and decide to settle it by investigating both, a decision that immediately backfires when they encounter something genuinely supernatural. What starts as a dare spirals into a chaotic, high-energy adventure involving cursed spirits, alien abductions, and an unlikely bond forming between two teens who can't stand each other at first. The show balances horror, comedy, and a surprisingly sincere central relationship with relentless visual inventiveness.

Its blend of genre mashups, from occult horror to sci-fi to teen romance, earned widespread critical praise and a passionate online fanbase almost immediately. The show's confident visual identity and unpredictable plotting quickly marked it as one of the more exciting new franchises in modern anime.
