Definitely just for a specific niche of viewers that like frenetic, bonkers humor wrapped in intentionally poor animation (when it's not literally live-action stock footage of white people).
This kinda, sorta fills a Pop Team Epic-shaped hole for those who have one.

main cast
* Based on a comedy seinen manga by Yamazaki Mari.
Demetrios was a young man in Ancient Greece who was a potter's apprentice, but also a rather timid otaku. Despite pursuing the arts, he was blessed with natural athletic talent. One day, he gets dragged into a village conflict. Demetrios contemplates how helpless he is, but then is struck by lightning! When he comes to, he is no longer in Greece, but a strange land where he can't understand the language and people look rather different.
Yes, he somehow ended up 1964 Tokyo! Of course, Demetrios has no idea what Japan even is. What will become of him?!

Olympia Kyklos is a hilarious piece of educational fiction. Also inherently relatable to anyone stuck in a corner of the world where their own mediocre talents only seek to get them chastised and put into a panic by responsibilities well above their ability. Remember to not skip the EDs.

Mostly hilariously stupid, sometimes surprisingly witty and insightful, but always wildly creative and entertaining. Great comedy short, bonus points for the ED songs (one for every episode, sung by the director).

Not coincidentally, they both share the same original author.
