Li'l Spider Girl
わすれなぐも
Studio: Production I.G
Synopsis
Legend says that centuries ago, a colossal spider ravaged Tokyo. Resistance was futile, as none could quell the havoc wrought upon the city by the beast. Fortunately, one man—the legendary exorcist—stopped the devastation. Using his divine powers, he sealed the monster away and the world has enjoyed peace ever since. Mizuki Henmi is an adolescent girl who is acquainted with Shu Suzuri, a dull young man who runs an old Japanese bookstore. During a routine visit to his store, Mizuki learns of a mysterious and valuable book that Shu is planning to sell. Unfortunately, the unrestrained Mizuki handles the book roughly, breaking the seal that kept it shut and revealing an odd entity—a cute spider. Wasurenagumo tells the story of Mizuki, Shu, and their seemingly harmless spider. However, ominous winds begin blowing. While Shu is infatuated with his arachnid friend, Mizuki becomes wary of its every move… [Written by MAL Rewrite]

MisanthropElii★ 8Short but sweet. Animation is nice and stands out at certain part. While there's not to much of a real plot going on in the story you still get a feel for the characters and find them pretty enjoyable. Now that twist tho... just a warning, it will cause you to stare into the abysmal space of nothing any where from 5 min to the rest of your life wondering if whether you're angry or not.
Infinite★ 7The young animator project produces episodes of varying quality, and I believe this is one of the better ones. With it being a single episode, there isn't time for a complicated plot or deep characters, however the characters here are quite likable, and I was surprisingly attached to them by the end. The plot is simple and the premise isn't even that interesting, but the show sticks with it, and the end you will be in for a surprise. As to how the end to such a simple plot could be surprise, you'll have to find out, but I thought the defining point was done well, withalmost perfect timing. It's what's made me rate it a 7. Many may not like the show for what occurs, but I think it works well here because of the one episode format. So, if you have half an hour spare and you don't know what to do with yourself, I think it'd be well worth your time to give Wasurenagumo a look.
