Nobody talks about this one. Four episodes of two mascot characters stumbling through a sci-fi treasure hunt with the comedic timing of a buddy cop movie, except they're genuinely lovable disasters instead of competent at anything. It wraps itself up completely, leaves you smiling, and respects your time enough to not overstay, the opposite of every other show padding its runtime into numbness.

When a mysterious stone falls from the sky, it is soon stolen, and Niigata City's publicity mascots, Komachi Hanano and Dangorou Sasa, set out to find it. Their search puts them on the trail of a beautiful thief. Komachi to Dangorou is an original short ONA in four episodes, mixing adventure and comedy with a touch of science fiction, and it builds its story around two real city mascots.
