My Student Spirit (Seasons 1–2)

My Student Spirit (Дух моей общаги, 2020) is a Russian animated series you can watch online on iFILM. Part comedy, part fantasy: a college dorm is haunted by the ghost of a former student who never managed to graduate. Lina Kilevaya directs.

The ghost is stuck somewhere between lectures and the afterlife, and the only person who can see him is a living freshman. Neither has a way out alone. To finally leave the institute, the dead student and the live one have to drag each other through exams, dorm chaos and trouble that has nothing to do with studying. That reluctant partnership is the whole engine of the show — goofy one minute, quietly sad the next.

Short episodes, hand-drawn style, and student absurdity anyone who lived in a dorm will recognise. Best for viewers who like a joke with something real hiding behind it. Stream My Student Spirit (2020) online on iFILM.
