There are a lot of instances wherein you have spare time: waiting in line at a convenience store, waiting for a train or bus to arrive, waiting for your friend to arrive for dinner. There are also times when you are feeling down, frustrated or just plain bored. This list of three-minute short anime stories is perfect distractions for you to enjoy such moments. Because there are dozens of short anime series, we are bringing you the 5 most funny short animes!
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken (I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying) follows the story of a married couple where the husband, Hajime, is a hardcore otaku, and the wife, Kaoru, is a regular office lady, trying hard to make her job separated from the world that her husband is obsessing about.
Despite their differences, they’re in love and both happy, without expecting that it is possible to happen. It seems like love can overcome all the differences between the couple! The people around them are bizarre too, which makes each episode funnier!
Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san
What will happen when a cat-lover and a dog-lover get attracted to each other?
Watch as these two girls, Inugami-san, an air-headed and friendly girl, and Nekoyama-san, a timid and shy dog lover, try to get close to each other! There are a lot to laugh about in this short anime, in addition to their love problems that they need to overcome.
Ojisan to Marshmallow
This is a kind of romantic comedy which portrays the story of Iori Wakabayashi, who is deeply in love with her co-worker, Hige Habahiro. What’s the issue? Hige is much older than she is, is overweight and is awkward. The good thing is that Wakabayashi knows his weakness– he loves marshmallows!
Watch if Wakabayashi’s efforts to get Hige’s attention succeeds, with the use of marshmallows!
Tonari no Seki-kun (The Master of Killing Time)
Tonari no Seki-kun (The Master of Killing Time) follows the story of the ever-creative Toshinari Seki who spends most of his time in class doing things like paper jars, sceneries and small inventions on his desk to pass the time. It’s amazing how he manages to do these things without catching his teacher’s attention. However, it seems odd for her seatmate, Yokoi, who always finds herself interested in whatever Seki does, which often gets her in trouble with the teacher.
Aggressive Retsuko
We are aware that Sanrio is known as Japan’s ambassador of kawaiiness or cuteness. This time, a funny, identifiable and refreshing surprise from Sanrio comes in the form of an angry red panda!
Retsuko, an anthropomorphize red panda works as an administrative assistant in a big company. Her bosses and co-workers keep pushing her to work by giving her impossible tasks. Though she had problems with her bosses and co-workers, she stays positive and preppy. She may look cute on the outside but she’s filled with suppressed rage at her bosses and co-workers. How does she deal with the stresses? She simply lets them all out by singing death metal!
Now that you’ve seen our list, you’ll now have your soon-to-be favourite anime to watch during your spare time!
