Light hearted and refreshing comedy without any serious approach to religion. I have personally enjoyed it very much with lack of such shows in recent times, highly recommended for everyone that likes comedy and doesn't take life seriously.

* Based on a manga written and illustrated by Nakamura Hikaru, serialised in Morning 2.
Jesus and Buddha, the founders of Christianity and Buddhism, are living together as roommates in a Tokyo apartment while taking a vacation on Earth. While they struggle to understand modern Japanese society, they must also hide their identities, which isn't all that easy when each simply oozes the religion he's founded, Christianity and Buddhism respectively.

Exactly the same as the OVAs, except that it's longer and looks better: A lighthearted comedy/parody with an unusual artstyle and many Christianity/Buddhism gags, most of which are entertaining but were unable to really make me laugh.

They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles.
