Apparently this had already been on my watchlist for a while, but today something put it back on my radar and I decided to just watch the thing. It's only been about 12 hours since whatever it was, and yet I've already forgotten what brought it up again.
Since I'm a sucker for good stories with interesting characters, this didn't work. No one really has any personality (except Sayoko, inappropriate as she is around her kid cousin), and every single plot had me asking, "What point are you trying to make?"
Short stories never get a lot of time to develop their characters, though, and this was adapting selections from an omnibus manga published almost two decades ago. Maybe that's why the tone felt odd for a 2020 release?
Anyway, yeah. Big meh. My advice would be to watch the first "episode" and stop. That was the best part.
