My Review of Kayachan Isnt Scary 1600https://srv.crunchyroll.com/cdncgi/image/fit=containformat=autoquality=85width=1200height=675/catalog/crunchyroll/1263bf9b0a9b3c4f60a4912f037c670e.png Lets please protect Kaya she doesnt deserve this : Story Kaya Satou is a kindergartener at Hanamugi Kindergarten. Because of her family she is blessed with the ability to see and exterminate spirits that ruin other peoples lives. Shes often seen as scary because of the way she presents herself but shes just misunderstood. Her teacher Chie is able to see this misunderstanding and helps her in her school life. As the story progressed this involvement of Chie would evolve to her regular life as she learns more and more about Kayas family and the problems that go on in their family. 800https://a.storyblok.com/f/178900/960x540/524b6ceac6/kayachanisntscary.jpg/m/filters:quality95formatwebp The Good The story of this anime really had me invested. The evolution of the plot was satisfying to watch and every new twist or problem introduced added on to the major conflict of the show. It was well paced and slowly built it up for the more serious sections of the story. Most of the characters were enjoyable too. Kaya is a character worth protecting and Chies an amazing and compassionate caretaker for understanding Kaya and knowing that shes not always the one in the wrong. I was also sort of a fan of the ED. It felt very similar to some songs that Ive heard before and the visuals as well as the OP having the perspective between seeing spirits and no spirits was cool in my opinion. The animation wasnt that bad either. I didnt really see any problems with the visuals and I liked seeing the spirits disintegrate when Kaya threw a single punch at them. Kayas the Saitama of spirits a wholesome but deadly force with a questionable family. 800https://i.ur.com/zoWDWJl.jpeg The Bad I think we need to address the major elephant in the room: Osamu Mobu was so badly presented in this anime. They try to justify his actions by showing his backstory which for a bit made sense but they kept constantly portraying this dude as some weird pervert pedo that keeps taking pictures of children from the shadows which I just cant ignore. He even takes photos of Kaya doing cute things just for fun which would be fine if he was maybe her father or grandpa since it would literally be their child but this is some rando that stalks Kaya. His mannerisms and the way he talks doesnt help either. I understand that hes supposed to be misunderstood but the point of being misunderstood is that theres still some sort of redeeming quality about him but theres nothing that can really redeem him except the fact that he knows everything about Kaya and her family which is still very weird since hes not a family member. Apart from that I also felt like the ending couldve been executed better. I heard that the ending for this anime is an original ending that wraps up the story while the manga goes further without the ending and I can kind of tell. I think they couldve written the ending better in a way that didnt feel too rushed or unrealistic but I mean it couldve been worse. 800https://images.sr.roku.com/idType/roku/context/trc/id/30a7ddbd0ce73e51215ec4d2a2456ca9/images/gracenote/assets/p32032063eh10aa.jpg The Downright Ugly This story was ugly but not in terms of quality so theres nothing downright ugly in this anime. 800https://i0.wp.com/anitrendz.net/news/wpcontent/uploads/2025/11/kayachanisntscarysecondtrailerfeatureimage.png Is It Worth The Watch? If you can get past the pervy man stalking the girl then youll be greeted with a wellwritten and interesting slice of life horror story that I found worth the watch. Ignoring Mob all of the characters were enjoyable and seeing Kayas plot slowly develop from just some ordinary exterminating spirits in a kindergarten daycare to a whole family conflict about revenge and monsters was certainly something that I liked. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not If you already have watched it I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. If you enjoyed this review I would greatly appreciate a follow too
