Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Between the ages of 17 and 26, before Chainsaw Man made him one of the biggest names in manga, Tatsuki Fujimoto wrote these one-shots. Now eight of them have been animated as an ONA anthology, each handled by a different studio: P.A. Works, Zexcs, Studio Kafka, and others, which means every episode looks and feels completely different from the last. The first story drops you onto a post-apocalyptic Earth where an alien student named Yohei tends to two chickens in a ruined schoolyard, only for those chickens to turn out to be something much stranger than expected. The second follows Sasaki, a guy taking remedial classes mostly as an excuse to be around his teacher, Ms. Kawaguchi, until a gunman with a grudge walks into the room and the story shifts from awkward crush to life-or-death standoff. That tonal whiplash is the whole point. One episode is a mermaid story, another is about waking up in a different body, another is a prophecy narrative. If you liked the raw, weird energy of Look Back or the way Blue Period treats creative obsession, this is a chance to see where that sensibility came from. Eight episodes, eight completely different vibes, all filtered through the mind of a teenager-turned-young-adult figuring out what kind of stories he wanted to tell. It's messy and surprising in the best way.

In episode 5 we indulge in mermaid love story, a boy whos losing his mom and missing her so much plays underwater piano. The one thing his mom always taught him, and a lost curious mermaid saw it. Then they fell in love, though the mermaid instinct hurt the boy at first.
Episode 4 is about immortal loves, both tired and bored individual who found common grounds. A vampire who wants to die, and a human that do killing for living. A very beautiful way to show how it feels to experience love at first time as someone who's not familiar with emotions.
Very intense, sooo funny. The artstyle making it very serious while its not, It's just a love confession ToT. But i guess every person experience differents, he even said that the least thing he cares is about the world safety when alien came😭
I was watching anime randomly, and I thought E2 would continue whats in E1. Turns out it's a compilation of several short stories from tatsuki fujimoto, just like his work essence E2 is very weirdly comedic but inspiring. This episode talks to me in hopeful way.
Episode 1 serves you comedic but gore just like any works of tatsuki fujimoto (chainsawman). The plot twist, really was unexpected. Could't tell you though you have to experience it youself. The alien potrayed in this episode, theyre sooo dumb. I love it me make laugh into tears.
cute but dark
Dark, blood, trauma, immortal & cute psychopathic romance.
Aggressive romcom, love it! Let the boy confess his love peacefully
Anticlimactic, absurd, yet it works so well
Never expected the plot twist! Wished it was a full series instead. And the fighting sequence was 🔥
