The Tatami Galaxy (Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei)

[mirkosp]

When a college dropout stops for a late night bite at a mysterious ramen stand, he crosses paths with a self-proclaimed deity of matrimony. This bizarre meeting sends the young man hurtling through a horrifying flashback to his not-so-glorious college days when the influence of a cruel new friend turned him from a hopeless romantic into a mischievous “black cupid.”

The first episode was pretty exceptional. This has to be one of my faves this season.

yojou han episode 1
In case anyone is curious, it was about 4500 words.
A usual anime episode is more like 2500. Action filled shows with little talking can be less than 1800.

That's a lot of talking.

I'm not entirely sure how much I like this show yet, but I do really like the style it has going.

Turns out the director is Masaaki Yuasa, the same guy who did Mind Game, Cat Soup, and Kemonozume. No wonder it's amazing.
