I'm amazed by how many people don't get the point of this episode. The episode was about how easily we get distracted by pointless crap. After making this point, it rather cheekily proceeded to distract us with pointless crap :)

Anyways, as much as I loved this episode, I want my rumba back!

Chocolate croissant? That's Lucky Star parody. Mecha? That's Eva parody. Continuous parody.

I'm simply stunned by how cohesive every episode has been so far, whether it be done by masterful weaving of insightful criticisms or hilarious lampshading. I'm finding Zoku to be a superior experience to SZS so far, and this series may even trump Monogatari as my favorite SHAFT work.

Loved the Lucky Star reference, it really made me laugh.

Nice episode. Wasn't 'The story of a heartless king' in season 1 too?


I'm not sure if it was, but I do remember hearing the story before. It's kind of eating me away, 'cause now I really wanna know where I heard it. xD

If you find out, let me know, k? :P
Season 1 episode 10, apparently the story was too cultured.

Yeah yeah, I'm several years late but who cares.

5/5 episode because of Moe Komori-chan :3 <3
I really liked the side story rather than main story . Hahahahah XD
That reaction of Sensei was funny as hell when he said that main story was excellent/epic but he cried when found out that Komori screen time was pure win XD

Kudou finally properly introduced and lot of panty shots this episode alone :<

The anime references were really funny. I really enjoyed this episode. The "random" references and "distracting" points were put together really well. I love how it poked fun at most genres that use/ abuse these techniques to get by without any plot development.

I'm not really liking this season :/ I don't know what it is exactly, but the humor is different from the original and it's been more of a miss than a hit.

That ED... Looked like Yuu Kobayashi's art? Plus different lyrics too. Very weird but good as well. I assume we'll be moving onto Marionette next episode...

Good episode, comedy was good, scene with Komori was good too.

Everyone's in their yukata, but since Itoshiki-sensei is always wearing a yukata, I was expecting that he'll change his yukata. Goddamnit.

Jokes this time is about drawing their attention to something unimportant instead on something important. Lmao. And suddenly there's an alien invasion. Lmfao. That alien's General's attention was drawn into a lewd scene instead of focusing into them invading Japan. Hahaha. Chiri transformed into a giant after wearing that weird mask which is apparently some kind of weapon against aliens. Pfffft.

We met Kudou who's apparently a genius storyteller. But can he make me cry with his story, too? Hahaha.

Kiri wearing a swimsuit and trying to seduce Majiru. *police cars siren*

It is funny, but this show is definitely not fun to watch for me. Have to pause so many times to take in all the information.

And the guy saying Zetsubou Shitaaaaa ever other minutes is really getting on my nerve. And although I know it's not the purpose of the show at all, it would be great if the guy actually gets into a situation where he's actually despairing.

Till now my problem w this one is I get no attachment to ANY character here, everything's just intellectual. Not to say distancing itself from its viewers is bad, it's goood, quite creative, but once in a while I should be able to feeeel sth about these people, or they're just like dolls espousing the ideas of the author.

I can't believe I missed the Boku no Pico reference. But the Evangelion part was awesome, and so was the fanservice! Honestly, the people complaining about fanservice and references / parodies... maybe you should stop watching? And I don't mean that in the gatekeeping sense, where I want to give you shit for havign an opinion, not at all! But these are a big part of the series so far, so really what's the point in torturing yourself if you hate those? I don't watch many slice-of-life series because I find them boring, so if something is too boring / SoL-like for me I drop it, too.

JOJO and Boku no Pico reference in one episode? Also two of Gainax's mecha shows were messing around. My favourite anime meeting point so far in anime. Season one is still ruling though.

The fact that I paid more attention to the Jojo reference and the cursed Pico cameo over everything else that was happening throughout the episode pretty much says that I fell for the episode's bait hook, line, and sinker. While a giant Chiri Katsu fighting robots was Nice, I was looking forward to what will happen next in the whole skit with Komori even though it's ultimately pointless more than the main story and Nozomu found out that everyone thought the same.

I wonder what the story Jun told Mataro was about.

I disagree, main story = pointless story.

Both were great.

The "distracted from main point" arc was so satisfying, all the build-up to that conclusion is just plainly wonderful. On top of that, it extends even further.
