Nobody expects a Dies irae spinoff to be funny. This one takes the grimdark visual novel and strips it down to two chibis bickering at a temple, which somehow becomes the funniest thing about the franchise. The comedy lives in the mundane friction between characters designed for apocalyptic suffering, now stuck dealing with actual daily life. It's a parody that understands what made the original compelling enough to mock it this hard. The show knows it has no budget and no spectacle, so it weaponizes that constraint into deadpan temple humor that lands better than it has any right to. If you've seen Dies irae, this demolishes the pretension with surgical precision. If you haven't, it doesn't matter.

A comedic parody of Dies Irae, told as a picture drama even though it was promoted as a radio-style drama. Most of its 18 ONA episodes center on chibi versions of Kasumi and Rea as they spend their time at the temple. The humor comes from spoofing the original, with the super-deformed pair at the heart of the gags.
