20111 season26 episodes25 min8.4 / 10

A frenetic, absurdist comedy about high school friendship where the surreal is treated as mundane and every moment is an excuse for visual gags and non-sequiturs.

Follow the adventures of three ordinary girls as they make life’s awkward moments a thousand times worse. Along with a colorful bunch of classmates, they learn their most important lessons the hard way. Meanwhile down the street, a pocket-sized professor makes life difficult for a robot who just wants to be normal. But normal is the last thing you can expect in a town where salmon falls from the sky. In fact, the only thing you can count on is your friends, but even they are totally weird.
