Here is the synopsis of the anime from ANN:

High schooler Yuuta Iridatsu has experienced “astral projection” i.e. his spirit has been separated from his body. He woke up in a mansion named Koraikan and met a cat spirit named Chiranosuke, who told him “You must find the Sacred Tome of Koraikan in order to return to your physical body.” While searching through corridors of Koraikan, Yuuta bumped into underpants of its female residents, and doing so would, uh, create some big trouble for planet Earth.

The Punchline anime will be airing this Friday on Fuji TV at 12:50am JST in the current Spring 2015 anime season. The anime will then air every Friday on Fuji TV at  12:55am JST.
