Episode 8: “Monstrous Apparition! The Mononoke Clan Attacks”
■ Episode 8 Story
Kappa isn’t having any of Ebisu and Daikokuten’s blatant disrespect for him and his yokai pals! As Kappa desperately tries to prove his strength, Karakasa starts babbling about a “magic spell”… When the so-called spell proves to be a dud, the enraged Kappa attempts to pull poor Ebisu’s intestines out from where the sun doesn’t shine. Unfortunately for Ebisu, Benzaiten sees the pair in a rather compromising position and gets the wrong impression. If that wasn’t bad enough, who should appear on the scene but the fearsome brawler Byakko! A frenzied fight ensues…

◆ What is Nanaraki: Seven Lucky Gods?
Nanaraki: Seven Lucky Gods is a particularly auspicious series of anime shorts. It follows the undignified, decidedly un-divine lives of a group of gods, who’ve lost the faith of the people and come crashing down to this world.
Nanaraki features the voice of Takuya Eguchi and Soma Saito (with more guest voice actors set to join later, perhaps?) The theme song, Lucky Boy, Lucky Girl (https://youtu.be/PT6h9ea-zHA), is performed by Ryoff Karma.
New episodes of Nanaraki air on the official Nanaraki YouTube channel on days ending in the lucky number “7”.

Animator and Illustrator. His self-produced cartoons, including Mr. Ando of the Woods, Mukidashi no Mitsuko, and Oshirimaeman, all of which were written, illustrated, edited, voiced, and sung by himself, have become something of a cult hit on YouTube. Since then, he has branched out to work on anime titles including TV Tokyo’s Pikotaro No Lullaby Lullaby and TVQ Kyushu’s Duppys Weather Forecast, as well as online adverts for Fuji TV’s drama Ōoku and Kao’s Essential hair care series.
