THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
J.C. Staff does idea recycling.. an extreme one.
Not just the idea, Index sitting on Touma's head, eating Yakisoba-pan (instead of Melonpan), "Uruchai, uruchai, uruchai!", ... Touma is surely right saying he had seen this somewhere :p
Even Yoshida Kazumi's pole position is now in use by Stiyl.

Okay, best part of it was Himegami picking up Toradora!'s tiger :)

Well, it's a bit entertaining but you can't praise them for it. I really hope they won't do the same with a third series.

Zero-Raws had them on TokyoTosho, but it's not subbed yet. It's only 8 minutes long, so it won't take a long time until Eclipse or some other group will have subs for it.

I thought the tiger-like cat was supposed to be the cat from Azumanga Daioh.


The reference to the actress getting drunk at a DVD launch party seemed odd. Did they have the launch party before they made the DVD? If the DVD was already finalized, they wouldn't be able to make that joke...

It wasn't for the DVD, it was a launch party for the anime itself ;)

Anyway, really enjoyed this. Found myself laughing throughout the whole 8 mins.

"Hey look, she's so drunk, let's make an inside joke about it in one of our parody specials"
"Yeah, good idea!"

My favorite part was when Touma told Stiyl and Kanzaki to act like main characters and not be content as side characters. The anime then cut to a shot of the ED credits with their names highlighted. (Pic below)

Oh and the Toradora reference went right over my head but in my defense I watched this episode at like 2 AM while at work.

No worries, I did too. I mean I saw it and knew that the tiger was from Toradora but I didn't actually register the joke. These 8 mins are just so packed with gags, rewatching it was necessary. xD

Nope but i could see the confusion/similarities. It's suposed to be a baby tiger that is seen as a joke in toradora.

Keep these coming. My favorite part was the launch party joke. This short was a lot more violent than the actual series too, hearing Kanzaki literally bashing Touma's head open and hearing the blood splat sound effects.

I caught the Toradora gag, but I wasn't sure if I was correct or not.

The puking part was funny too.
