Minato just wants to run his company and gather some magic rocks, except every decision spirals into chaos because his party is genuinely incompetent and somehow that's the whole point. This isn't trying to be clever or subversive, it's just a show that understands the gap between corporate responsibility and actually getting people to work together is funnier than any setup could ever be. Twelve episodes that know exactly what they are: a weekend binge that respects your time enough to skip the filler everyone else wastes on pointless side quests.
When his father vanishes inside one of the largest gates in Gatepia, Minato is pressed by his childhood friend Yutoria to take over the family's treasure-hunting business, the Kibou Company. He agrees without much enthusiasm and gets to know the staff: the priest Makoto, the soldier Akari and the accountant Guide. Success means leading his adventurers into the dungeons beyond the Gate to gather Kirakuri, crystals holding the energy that Gatepia depends on. Countless rival companies want the same prize, and as the small firm takes on missions to stay afloat, its members start to uncover why their former leader disappeared. Based on a character-collecting video game, the show is a fantasy action adventure.
