This is what happens when Gundam stops pretending to be serious and just lets the robots be stupid on purpose. Episode 2 turns a haunted house mystery into a slapstick investigation where giant samurai Gundams panic at ghosts. Episode 3 abandons mecha entirely and builds an entire civilization out of sentient clay robots that speak like ancient pottery having a conversation with itself, pure absurdist comedy that has no business working this hard for laughs, yet somehow commits completely to the bit. Nobody talks about this one. That needs to stop.

Super deformed mobile suits return in a comedic mecha OVA running three episodes. The Warring States era Musha Gundams set out to drive off evil spirits and stop a wicked scheme unfolding in the ruins of Jaburo, where a ghostly apparition haunts the town and Daishogun has a treasure of his own. The final episode is divided into three parts and shifts to a tiny race of soft, shapeable Gundams and Zakus modeled on haniwa, the clay figures of Japan's Kofun period. They talk only in an invented language, and their small community works at bringing new life into being.
