As the perpetually lecherous Ataru and his friends prepare for a carnival at Tomobiki High School, they gradually realize the days are literally repeating themselves. Any effort to break the pattern dumps them back where they started.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mamoru Oshii's anime is surreal and dreamlike, a celebrated, strange take on a gag series.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
