I was wondering why this TV show was so funny. Today, I learned that one of the directors is Noburu Iguchi. That explained everything.
The lead duo are very much unlike. Shiori believes she can solve all strange phenomenon and mysteries that occur in their town of Inaotama. Shimiko is the straight character. Everyone except Shimiko reacts in a hyped-up versions of typical Japanese horror movie characters. Shimiko tries to remain grounded as much as possible but eventually the madness gets to her as well.
The 13 episodes each deal with strange or horrifying incidents - a buried corpse with an arm showing a victory sign, people disappearing at a park, a cat that transforms into a human, a family of ghosts that returns to seek revenge...
Shiori tries to solve these mysteries and somehow Shimiko gets roped into the act. Each episode begins with a shocking incident (which may put off many viewers) but the rest of the episode will be lined up with fun segments one after another.
This movie has everything as it tries to parody every aspects of Japanese popular entertainment.
