Can you identify this anime?

This anime might have been a short movie that was an extra on another dvd set.

It was about a guy who starts seeing these bug-like things attached to peoples
backs. I think he has the urge to eat one which makes him realize that the
'bugs' are the regrets or bad memories of those people. When he eats them the
people become happier. After trying to help people by eating their invisible
'bugs' he notices they might have been better off keeping those memories.

I know that's not much to go on, but any help would be great!

Anime about a guy who sees and then eats invisible bugs?


This sounds like an episode of [Boogiepop
Phantom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogiepop_Phantom).

Different episodes focused on different characters, each having a special
ability... that was usually not as beneficial as it seemed. Their stories
intertwined and showed the events from the different viewpoints of these
characters. The guy who could eat bad memories was one of these episodes.
