Terror of Kyo-chan

Aired: 1994 - 1995

A short-form horror-comedy TV anime based on Jun Miura's manga, aired for 7 episodes on Fuji TV from November 1994 to March 1995 and produced by TEA Video Center. The brisk episodes follow the chaos stirred up by Kyo-chan, a brash, unknowable presence, pairing surreal developments with dark humor in an adult-oriented animation. Despite its modest scale and late-night leanings, the series drew attention in subculture magazines and among anime fans of the day, and its distinctive tone continues to be talked about for years afterward.
