Katte ni Kaizou English Sub & Dub

About Katte ni Kaizou

Katte ni Kaizou (かってに改蔵) blends comedy and sci-fi by Shaft (2011). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Katsu Kaizou is a very gullible, 17-year-old high school student and a believer in science fiction, aliens, ghosts, UFOs, conspiracies, etc. He thinks that everything going on around him is the result of some sort of alien plot to take over the world.

Another thread: Each story is pretty much self-contained and is completely bizarre. Kaizou joins the school's science club, makes new companions, and ends up coming in contact with all sorts of strange things like log people, deadly sushi, pee-blades, scary infections, robot invasions, ghosts, living dolls.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kaizou Katsu (Takahiro Sakurai) and Umi Natori (Eri Kitamura) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 6 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
