Synopsis

Early 2000s Tokyo. Isobe, a combatant for the evil corporation Ganglion, spends his days on the battlefield. Whether it's the "Tokyo Cedar Pollen Operation" or the "Mount Fuji Demolition Plan," he faces off in nothing but a bodysuit, only to be crushed by the hero Hopeman time and again. As he struggles under unreasonable bosses during the dawn of compliance, his story unfolds—a workplace drama dedicated to all who work, following the bittersweet life of a salaryman soldier.

Preliminary (6/? eps)
Okay, I need to yell about this show for a second.
Went in totally blind, zero hype, didn’t even know it was 3 minutes per episode. Thought it’d be some cheap superhero parody and ended up snorting at my phone on the bus like an idiot.
The whole joke is that the evil organization trying to destroy the world… is just a regular Japanese company. Evil overlord? Middle manager with a comb-over. Giant kaijus? Interns in monster suits begging for overtime pay. World domination plans get shut down because accounting won’t approve the budget for the death ray. It’s so stupid it loops back around to genius.

Preliminary (5/? eps)
Not many shows has dealt with the evil corporation from the salaryman's pov but here we are with Ganglion.
This is a SOL of Kenji Isobe and his daily trials on and off the job. Done by Studio Maf their first series.

Good voice work from the cast and Youji Ueda carries the series as Kenji. Good animation and direction but off beat so
not for those that want action packed adrenaline.

Definitely for those who have experienced the joys of working for unreliable bosses. ...

Spoiler
I was prepared to like this anime based on the premise alone. It's told from the perspective of villains who always loose. It sounded like it could have been a parody of or commentary on comic book villains or Sentai like Go Go Loser Ranger was, but this one was just boring. It was a bit hard to follow and was sadly very dull for me. It's only an anime short with 3 episodes a piece so you can finish it in like 40 minutes or so. There are surprisingly some scant moments of impressive animation, although they don't last very long, and I do ...
