I'm trying to find an old stick figure animation series that I watched on YouTube when I was a kid, probably sometime between 2007 and 2012.

What I remember:

- It was a stick figure adventure/fantasy series.

- The characters were not simple stickmen; they had hairstyles, eyes, and distinct designs.

- There were sword fights only (I don't remember any guns).

- The male protagonist had a childhood-friend/love-interest type female stick figure with pink hair.

- In either episode 2 or episode 3, the protagonists met a gray-colored stick figure with red hair who used a katana.

- I specifically remember a scene where this red-haired swordsman was eating a chicken while talking to the protagonists.

- During that scene, this Bleach soundtrack was playing in the background:

I think the series had around five episodes. In the last episode I remember (possibly episode 5), another female stick figure was fighting several opponents. During the fight, she got stabbed or slashed in the face, accompanied by a woman's scream sound effect. The episode then ended with "To Be Continued."

Unfortunately, I don't remember the creator's name. I vaguely remember the title starting with the letter "E", and the episodes were named something like:

"Exxxxxxx 1"

"Exxxxxxx 2"

"Exxxxxxx 3"

One more thing:

At some point, either the creator or a fan uploaded an AMV/MAD-style opening video using:

Shoko Nakagawa - Sorairo Days (空色デイズ)

I've searched YouTube, Stickpage and Wayback Machine but haven't been able to find it.

Does anyone remember this series?
