Obatalian
Obatarian ／ Obattalion ／ オバタリアン
Description
The term “Obatalian” is a playful blend of the Japanese word *obaasan* (old lady) and the English word “battalion.” These characters are notorious for rushing onto trains at full speed, colliding with other passengers to secure a seat before anyone else can. They also haggle over items that are normally not negotiated, such as grocery produce. Fearless and ruthless, they resemble a battalion of barbarians. The anime follows six separate stories centered on a single Obatalian and the trail of destruction she leaves in her wake.
