GROTESQQQUE

Overview

GROTESQQQUE is an anthology film of three original animated segments produced by CloverWorks. Segment Q1 - ÆLIENS follows the alien girl Elie, who arrives on Earth as a goodwill ambassador, loves human culture and its absurd daily life, and teams up with a civil servant to search for friends. Segment Q2 - Yoroshiku★Shoujo is set in GALs TOKYO, a city where morning never comes.

OtaHub's take

Atsushi Nishigori both directs and handles original character design, with Daiki Yamaki on sound and Yousuke Hasegawa as music producer. The genres range from action, comedy, and drama to science fiction and the supernatural, since each segment has its own tone. The three-segment film premieres on 6/11/2026.

Verdict

It suits viewers who like trying experimental original animation ideas and do not mind the tone shifting between segments. No other work needs to be watched first to keep up.
