Four-minute episodes with no filler, no setup, just punchlines landing back-to-back before you can catch your breath. The comedy is so tight it rewires your expectations of what a short-form anime can do with historical Japan and anachronistic absurdity. By the second season, the cast chemistry is bulletproof, the jokes land because they've earned your trust in previous episodes, and every single four minutes counts. This is what happens when a comedy show respects your time and refuses to waste a frame on anything but the laugh. If you've ever complained that anime comedies drag, this is the counterargument.

Chidori keeps serving as the ninja of Oda Nobunaga while the warlord presses on with his campaign to bring all of Japan under one rule during the Warring States period. On duty she is a skilled and lethal shinobi. Off duty she is a sweet, naive girl. Nobunaga has come a long way, yet uniting the country is no easier: old foes out for revenge and strong new rivals have taken up arms to crush his ambitions. With friends and supporters at his side, Chidori recruits important allies, slips into enemy castles and fights capable warriors to help make his dream of a united Japan come true. This second season of the short-format gag comedy continues the wartime humor of the first.
