Today's Mystery Meat is Honto ni Atta! Reibai Sensei.

It is obvious from watching it that it was made using Flash. It's 22 episodes long, with individual episodes being only 5 minutes including the OP and ED.

And the animation is, I'm sorry to say, piss poor. The story is bizarre. The audience-viewpoint character is an 8th grader, whose class is getting an entirely new teacher. When asked what her hobby is, she suddenly dips her head. Ghosts appear around her. And she gets taken over by some weird and dangerous spirit from the past. Seems that her "hobby" is summoning the dead.

She can also cause others to become possessed. One of the girls in the class is inflicted with the ghost of Nobunaga, which then gets replaced with Mitsuhide, who sets fire to the classroom. (Um, that's a reference to history donchaknow.)

Did I mention that the animation is crummy? Most of this is presented in slightly-animated slide show format. The only thing that's animated is mouths of those who speak. It reminds me of the original "Space Ghost", and that isn't praise.

I managed to get through one 5-minute episode and gave up. It's a shame that such an amazing group of seiyuu were wasted on something like this. Hasn't Kaoru Mizuharu got anything better to do?
