When they’re discovering what Nanakis are and why Masaki doesn’t have one, one of them literally says “Oh, so she doesn’t have a tragic past?” The villagers agree on absolutely nothing until they all make the totally rational decision that Masaki is a goddamn ghost. Prior to this they can’t even agree on what to call Rock Paper Scissors. It’s been mentioned before, but Lovepon calling for violent executions and even attempting to drown Mitsumune but receiving not even a single ounce of suspicion. In fact, Mikage even invites her to his secret cabal meeting with Nyanta and Hellfire. You even expect Lovepon’s flashback to explain why she’s so crazy but it’s written to specifically not do that. Mitsumune. Mitsumune. If he’s not a parody of himself nothing in this world is real. After probably one of the biggest verbal conflicts between the villagers up to that point his only thought is “Wow I talked to a lot of girls today”. Without batting an eyelid he asks Masaki if she wants him to come with her to go to the bathroom, presumably in a bush or some ruins. He’s trying to get through the tunnel with Masaki and gets ready to face his fear incarnate… right before it punches him in the stomach and he more or less says “Screw this I’m out of here!”. Not to mention his backstory involves him casually impersonating his brother for half his life because he doesn’t want to rock the boat. Lovepon is drowning him but the reason he overpowers her is not because he’s going to die, it’s because he saw her bra through her shirt. That is art. The bus is this unstoppable force of nature that the bus driver can wield with complete impunity. Several scenes are devoted to the hawks of the group devising ways to hunt a goddamn bus. When it first bursts in to capture Masaki, Mikage orders them to attack a speeding bus. It never runs out of gas and never gets stuck after the first time. The villagers are literally too tired to care about flaming arrows being shot at them. They’re just loafing around as Hellfire handwaves the entire assault while an intense electronic beat plays in the background. It was implied for a while that Yottsun, ostensibly a black-coded character, was the only actual casualty when “the black guy dies first” trope is basically a joke in itself because of how ridiculously often it happens. To top it all off, he was not only alive, he was reaching personal enlightenment almost 8 episodes ahead of everyone else while they were staging actual witch hunts. In a 12 episode anime, where time is extremely limited from a production standpoint, groups of characters trail off into totally meaningless tangents with no connection to the plot during important moments. This happens constantly. Certain characters are highlighted in the unique ED sequences with unusual facial expressions that imply they’ll play a role in the next episode but it all means absolutely nothing. The next episode previews are pretending to foreshadow events next week, but actually serve no purpose. The episode titles are equally irrelevant to anything that happens in the episode. The sheer amount of clearly and intentionally wasted effort would never fly during modern fast-paced anime production unless it was exactly the point. The show ends with them happily driving away in the bus while Lovepon jokingly yells out “Execute him, I say!” and they all laugh in unison like the end of an episode of a dorky family sitcom.

Buh bye croc baby ...
