A number of students at a university sign up for a strange activity. They're a motley group: some are there because they're short on credits, others have gotten into trouble and need it to be overlooked. A professor walks in and explains that the activity is nothing more than a simple survey: he'll show them a series of 24 short films, and the students have to rank them in order of preference. The only condition is that none of the films can have the same rank.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But it turns out that the short films have practically nothing in common, covering almost every topic imaginable: computer viruses, ninjas, fairies, time travel, demons, Santa Claus... At the end of it all, the students find themselves completely baffled by the survey. And when they try to find out more, it only gets stranger...A Simple Survey is a light novel series by Kazuma Kamachi, comprising two volumes: A Simple Survey (2012) and A Simple Monitoring (2013). A Simple Survey mainly consists of 24 short films (as mentioned above), called "Files". A Simple Monitoring similarly begins with 10 videos called "Attractions". The series was originally started as a means of using up ideas that couldn't be included in one of his normal series. However, it also contains a story arc of its own, centering around the concept of the 'absurd'.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ambiguous Situation: All over the place. For example, File 13 features a devil who claims that hell is really a nice place , and encourages the viewpoint character to visit. An angel interjects and claims that it's all a lie. It's left up in the air as to which one is telling the truth.

Anthropomorphic Personification: Alice is the personification of the absurd. Should the absurd ever be defined, she will die and be replaced by one even more absurd.
