Don’t Grieve (1968)

Don’t Grieve! or Ne Goryui! is a 1968 Soviet Georgian drama-comedy movie directed by Georgiy Daneliya. It loosely adapts the 1843 French novel My Uncle Benjamin by Claude Tillier, but changes the setting to prerevolutionary Georgia. I first found out about the film when I was looking into renditions of the medieval Georgian hymn “Shen Khar Venakhi”, since there’s a rendition of that hymn in this movie. Which makes this, what, the third Soviet show/movie I’ve found because of a song? In any case, a plot description combining English Wikipedia and IMDb:

In the end of the 19th century, a young happy-go-lucky doctor, Benjamen Glonti, returns to a small village in his native Georgia to live a leisurely life after finishing his medical studies in St. Petersburg. A series of comic events unfold around him.

What is fanime?

A fanime (etym. blend of fan + anime) is basically when someone makes an anime-style cartoon show by drawing frames in MS Paint; compositing them in Windows Movie Maker with pirated music, stock sound effects, and dialog recorded in one take on potato microphones; and posting the result to YouTube. This isn’t necessarily accurate of all fanime, but the throughline is in any case that fanime is a form of democratized amateur animation combining anime aesthetics with “Internet Ugly”. The style is most associated with the Western anime fandom of the mid-2000s through mid-2010s, where it was often difficult to distinguish sincere fanime shows from parodies of the genre.

ODD 4

ODD 4 is a 2011-2016 magical girl slice of life comedy fanime by Ever After Ashley. Reportedly one of the first fanime of the 2010s and accordingly bits of it “may have aged poorly” according to Fanime Realm. Plot description modified from Fanime Realm:

The series revolves around a group of girls who work at a place called “The Butterfly Station”. Then a lot of odd things start happening!
