Could someone put up a list of all those erm.... doujin titles?..... that they went through at the credits at the end? Some of them looked....... quite interesting XD

Overall a great way to spend 22 minutes of your life on weekdays. Great fun and decent characterization.

8/10 for me. It was entertaining enough. Hopefully they'll give us a second season.

Drunk sensei's laugh was just so lol XD ghehe ghehe ghehe...

That Hataraku Maou cosplay XD Kantoku cosplaying as Kirito.. oh the irony XD Sensei with Yuru Yuri uniform XD and Kameko in her Mio (Nichijou) uniform!!! I'm not sure about the other characters but they certainly were cosplaying characters they voiced before.. Fu-girl might be wearing Azusa's (K-On) uniform. So much win in that one scene!

Drunk G-men was also so fuckin' kawaiii! Again with the Shinchan style animation XD That rap in the end tho.. "To hell with Labor Laws" XD

Haizz.. my favorite anime of the season has finally ended. I though this season would be bereft of comedy and I wasn't so optimistic watching the first few episodes of Denkigai. Once you warm up to the characters though, the comedy picked up considerably around episode 3. Add the romance (which I can't stress enough is better than most shoujo anime) and you have one hell of an anime.

Definitely a good replacement anime to fill the waiting time for Working season 3 (or maybe Servant x Service season 2) and just like Working, I hope this will get the 2nd and even 3rd season!

XD that was awesome, Kantoku is cosplaying Kirito! I see the Hataraku Maou-sama uniform too so I'm guessing each voice actor is cosplaying a charatcer they voiced before, that's so awesome. It was great and I'm going to miss it.

The ending scene was one the funniest parts of the anime, why couldn't we have had more manager?

Anyway, it was okay. Some gags got old and some dragged on for way too long (like the glasses lady origin story). I wouldn't mind more but I won't miss if that's it.

That was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.



In the very first episode it looked like she would just be a one-dimensional
background character. It is amazing that they gave her such an interesting
background story, as well as the childhood relationship with Sommelier.

Those Umi x Sensei scenes were one of the best we had in this show.

Kameko: "Kantoku, you're the worst! Women's enemy!"
Umi: "My enemy!"

Loved Kameko and Umi's conversation.

G-men's sleeping face <3

I spotted Aria, Another, Kuroko no Basket, Inazuma Eleven and Tokyo Ghoul references in the credit rolls. A bunch more.

LOL there were that many employees? Who could have guessed, really.

Over-all, solid end. Could use some confessions... Nothing really got resolved romantically. Hope it gets a 2nd season.

a mediocre ending to an overall mediocre show

(in my opinion)... Blah ... Blah.. Blah...
[spoiler]
I really don't know why I'm sometimes overcritical as hell and then other times I have zero standards but in this case I was really not able to find almost any enjoyment from this series at all.

Although I could nitpick about everything I didn't like about the show for hours, I'll just say the three main things that really detracted from my enjoyment from it

1. The art style

The animation I did not have a problem with, it was the art style that really got to me. I know it's probably really unfair to dislike an anime because of its chosen art style (not sure if it was what the manga used but either way) but all of the characters just looked.. i don't know.. sorda souless almost uncanny. They looked like background characters from other animes, not to mention they're supposed to be young adults but look like children. Again this is a really personal point but I just could not get behind the way their faces looked and after seeing all the beautiful backgrounds it just emphasized it more.

2. I didn't find it that funny

I did NOT go in with high expectations for this series. I was not expecting an extremely hilarious and quirky comedy like Nichijou or Azumanga Daioh, but I was hoping to get a few good laughs, but even I felt I was let down in this aspect. All of the humour seemed so forced and most of the good bits all revolved around the otaku culture and it got old pretty fast. I'm glad to hear that a lot of you guys really found it funny and I just wish I could have been a part of it. The most this series made me do is smile and that was usually quickly ruined by my final point:

3. It's fucking weird

Okay I get that this is for a mature audience, but I was just left saying wtf in so many scenarios. Just one for example: when Kantou and Hio are working late and then they sleep together. They're not dating. They have not dated so why the hell are they doing that, and don't give me that shit about how it's a "cultural difference" because that is totally untrue, there are definitely boundaries being crossed here and theyre acting like it's nothing. But okay lets forgive it for a moment, but then what the fuck was up when Kantou literally goes on top of Hio and says that she's too vulnerable. What the fuck. I don't know whether or not this series wants me to take it seriously or not. If it was just throwing logic out the door and going for a Nichijou approach then fine but then why the hell would you take all of the other aspects leading towards that moment in a serious light? I dunno..

Also when Fu girl was all wet and shit in one of the earlier episodes.. bleh.. Hell that entire episode made me cringe.

The entire series is filled with these completely out of the blue horniness, and hey I'd be all for that if they didn;t try to take the drama so seriously in scenes right before that. There were so many moments where I was like awh that's cute and then immidiatly shattered by some weird ass comment or action..


Like I said, I acknowledge that this series was probably pretty enjoyable for some people and I'm glad you had a good time with it.

It just was not for me, the art style and the dialogue alike just did not click with me at all. A lot of you guys are already asking for a second season and I really hope you get it! If it happens I'll probably not be watching it so you wont have to hear me bitch about it anymore :D

Episode that does not limit "providence" but only a faint chance to review a 2nd season.
I hope there is a second season for this show.
Narratively proved mold SOL this episode, cute and funny, but in the end he managed to mouth Umio and Kameko to give a sense to the story.
Cute drawings and animations sufficient.
Very nice the opening and the ending.
I wanted to give him as a vote a score of 7/10, but the views expressed sympathy sometimes give him instead a vote of 8/10!

At the end it turned into too much of a soap opera with all that relationship drama but somehow still managed to create some funny moments. For example episode 11 I enjoyed more than the love antics of the Director and Hio-tan. I might check out the manga though.

I noticed that too. I thought it was awesome that they did that. By the way, G-Men cosplayed as Misaki Hijiri from Saint October.

Thanks, I recognized Tsumori as Chiya (oh hell yes!), Umi as Maou, and Sensei as someone from Yuru Yuri, but I wasn't sure who most of them were.

That backs story. How cute is that? We spend the whole series thinking G-Man is the antagonist when she was actually Sommelier's childhood friend.
And that has to be the easiest acting gig his VA ever got, cause he never speaks, he just grunts and whispers unintelligibly once in a while.
This was a fun show, a pointless show, a cute show.

For me, the best part of the episode was seeing Sensei cosplaying in the school
uniform from Yuru Yuri. It is not 100% identical to the real uniform, but I think
that is what Sensei is intending to dress up as.

Not sure if anyone already replied to this, but yes, it is yuru yuri, more specifically Yui, they're all cosplaying as characters with the same Voice Actors, it was a pretty neat "easter egg" if you can call it that.

Sad to see this end. Most of the jokes were really funny, and the characters are plenty likeable. Overall, a good watch for comedy.

I was able to find out that the character's cosplays in the hanami scene was from another character they voiced in another series, nice!!

I guess they could do better for ending but it was good anyway.
I liked the first part with Umio and Sensei, though I would like if they at least kissed. The same goes for Hiotan and Kantoku.
Showing all manga covers was nice. But after-credits scene I did not like that so much though.

However, in middle story, I almost died laughing there :D

Great idea to cosplay previous previous characters of each seiyuu. Those references!

I'm not so sure about Tsumorin making this drinking hell though, it wasn't funny that much.

But anyway, this show really got better towards the end. All characters were likeable and it was cool thing to have pairs in there. Some slice-of-life moments very pretty good too, it helped to create bond with those characters.

I really wish for a second season.

Glad to see some closure between Umio and Sensei even though it's only a brief part of the episode. Honestly I couldn't care less about other's. Umi's love interest is all that matters (if we're talking romance) because he's the protag. Except Kameko though. Because she deserves more attention she deserves to be happy! :(

Anyway I'm actually kinda glad that this is finally over. Because each episode may contain 2-3 funny jokes here and there but aside from those, the whole thing is boring. Like 20% good jokes, 10% drama (which is not bad but I prefer if it didn't have any) 70% boring stuff.
