Yeah, I know~! It's about a 2-minute short animation, and it's so interesting and surreal that I end up watching it. Plus, the characters are cute, so I love it!

What is Obungu to Issho?

https://kawaii-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=631&ref=blog
Obungu to Issho refers to the term for both 'Obungu-San,' born from illustrations posted on social media, and the overall works featuring them.
Although the term 'Obungu' refers to stationery in Japanese, it has nothing to do with the overall works. (According to the author, just as one wouldn't answer when asked 'What are humans?' so it is unknown what 'Obungu' itself is.)
The story's protagonist-like figure, Obungu-San, has a characteristic white and round form,
along with characters like pudding-San, who is a pudding but somehow talks and can't be eaten, making the cast overly diverse.
On YouTube, surreal short animations ranging from 2 to 3 minutes are regularly posted, and they have quite a large fanbase.
Recently, they have started to release special merchandise in collaboration with other companies, further increasing their popularity.

The Mr. Jelly that I like, how should I describe it...... it's a mysterious creature that always screams in a small voice.

The Mr. Cat that I love is actually not a cat; it graduated at the top of its class from college, runs a cafe, and strangely enough, picks up and raises kittens. It's a mysterious character.

Well, it's really interesting, isn't it? The anime episodes are short, so you end up watching several in a row. The characters are cute, and above all, it's surreal, so you just end up watching it when you want to refresh.

In Japan as well, collaboration goods and limited-time stores are starting to appear. These cute characters are really catching people's attention! We might even introduce the characters individually sometime soon, so please look forward to it!
