The Tatami Galaxy
The Tatami Galaxy streams on Netflix and Crunchyroll. Masaaki Yuasa's motor-mouthed masterpiece about wasted college years is one of the most inventive shows anime has ever produced — and one of the most quietly life-affirming.
About
An unnamed college student is certain he wasted his campus years, and he knows exactly who to blame: Ozu, the troll-faced friend who derailed every plan for the rose-colored student life he was promised. After a chance encounter at a late-night ramen stand with a man claiming to be a god of matrimony, our narrator finds himself reliving his freshman choice of student club over and over — a different circle each time, the same disappointments waiting. Each loop spirals around the same people: unshakable Ozu, the coolly practical underclassman Akashi, and a campus full of eccentrics who keep reappearing in new roles.

Seasons & Watch Order
The series stands alone and is the place to start. If it clicks, The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl is a companion film set in the same delirious version of Kyoto — same creative team, same energy.
