Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode of "Kaya-chan Isn't Scary," a new anime about a kindergarten teacher named Chie who discovers her sullen student Kaya can punch ghosts. The review praises the show for presenting Kaya as a "certified Weird Little Girl," a character whose strange behavior makes sense to her but not to adults, and who is reluctant to discuss ghosts due to past disbelief. The reviewer notes that Chie is portrayed as a responsible teacher working hard to support her student, grounding the supernatural elements. However, the episode has a notable flaw: loud distortion effects that accompany most hauntings, which the reviewer says betray a lack of confidence in the visuals. The episode ends with a dramatic reveal that Kaya's mother may be possessed by a spirit even Kaya cannot fight, a development the reviewer calls a potentially potent metaphor. The review concludes that the show's jokes land in the "sensible chuckle" range and that the emotional base is solid, but the off-putting sound effects may determine whether viewers continue watching.
