(The) Human Crazy University (TV)

Genres: comedy
Themes:

Plot Summary: Satake Hirofumi is a prisoner on death row for murdering his fiancée. He's also an "Undeadman" who has survived many desperate situations. For this, he has earned the interest of a research institution called "Human Crazy University," which studies real-life miraculous phenomena and the people who become entangled in them.

Now a subject of their research, Satake relates to them his memories of his immortal, yet unhappy, life. Why did he kill his fiancée? Soon enough, the truth sheds light on a much bigger conspiracy... (-Crunchyroll)

The art looks like crap. But the seiyuu cast has me super-curious.

This is very offbeat, but I'm finding it surprisingly fascinating. All kinds of odd tidbits about psychos, psychology, rare diseases, and who know what else. The "animation" reminds me of Kagewani or Yamishibai.

I have a feeling that Hirofumi did not actually murder anyone, he's just the unluckiest lucky man in the world. Still, it's a strange vehicle to use to relate bizarre real-life incidents.

That turned out to be a lot of fun. If you can get past the animation, there's a decent story there, despite the crazy shenanigans left and right. I really enjoyed the two goofballs who kept robbing the same bodega and helping save Hirofumi from time to time.

Not sure about the ending... spoiler[Did meeting his doppleganger mean that he and Chie and the Professor are going to die on that plane, or is this just more "life is just dangerous anywhere in Hirofumi's viciinity"?]

One of the things that I loved most about this show was how all the incidents that the professor mentions of people surviving things that should have killed them were all real events. Even the building and the details about it used in the last two episodes actually exists.
