I saw this coming, since I've already seen other shows do it, but never has it been done that well. The bigger joke for me though was the preview - unless it was a fake preview, they'll really animate Baka's stupid Color Ranger idea. Priceless.

Second time I've fallen for it. I half-expected to be trolled again, but not so soon after the last time.

Good episode. Not sure how I feel about the change of characters, though.

oy....that was the freaking point.

Anyway definitely best show of the season. I love being trolled every week. And the trolls are actually creative as opposed to say endless eight every week =P

It's just the 4th episode and Baka's trolls are already at Izaya level. He has the talent in his blood, definitely.
Now I'm starting to wonder if the Durarara! special was as random as it seemed to be. There must have been some kind of sign that my eyes weren't ready to see! *dies from alien overdose*
Anyway, the show is amazing, no doubt about that.

Despite everything being yet another troll again, I greatly enjoyed that little fictional story in a fictional story. I mean...the atmosphere was great, the visual changes were gorgeous and it actually managed to be sad and emotional.


Quoted for truth. When I first read these chapters in the manga, I was seriously impressed by how Togashi managed to craft such a moving short story... AND have a hilarious punchline that somehow didn't ruin what had come before it.

The art change kinda gave it away but it was still a good episode because at some point I stopped waiting for the joke and just wanted to see what was gonna happen. Awesomely meta. The script is pure genius, the way it can bounce between serious and silly funny in a second. If this was most other anime it'd be just a dumb filler episode. Now, this series managed to deliver an interesting premise, mood and characters in less than a standard episode. Best damn series, hands down.

How many times do we have to get trolled by this series? REALLY?! xD Hahahaha!

/facepalm.
Idiot Prince kinda ruined the serious mood there... Bwahahah! It was well worth it though xD

Well, at least I'm glad Miho and Yukitaka is going to be staying in the whole series. (I really thought they weren't going to show them again. /facepalm; and I never read the manga so I wouldn't know x'3)
Can't wait for the next episode! > 3<
Prolly my fave series this season♥

Before this episode I thought this show was mildly funny with an interesting premise.

This week's episode impressed me with it's depictions of aliens. At the start of the episode, we were led to believe that the aliens were just cold, heartless killers of humans. This is also a theme that was in episode 2 I believe where Baka saves a girl from aliens that were assaulting here. But later, we are shown the aliens had a human-like motivation for this that is based on feelings not so different from our own.

I see that this show has more depth and range of emotion than I previously thought because it was labeled a comedy. It can take deep issues and take them seriously when it needs to. It will be interesting to see if this was just a one-off, or if the show will continue to mix dramatic elements in the future.

I kept thinking after episode 3, "They can't possibly fool me again!"

And then Baka shows up. XD

I actually felt really bad for those aliens, man. My heart sank when the little boy was crying... ; U ;

I did hope it wouldn't be a troll during the whole thing but then when it was revealed, it strangely didn't bother me at all. This show really continues to amaze me on so many levels.


The same. It was an awesome little story that i quite enjoyed. The troll at the end was expected by this point but i didn't care. This show is really aiming for the top spot this season.

Not sure how to rank this episode. I loved it but the ending killed it and I didn't think the joke was funny enough to justify it.
Oh well still a great show, it's the type I could show to someone who isn't into anime to try to get them into it.

I honestly don't feel that the ending killed it. I still feel that its a fairly well-done story within a story kind of thing, and to be honest even when I was reading the manga for the first time I kind of expected that some twist like that might happen. I tend to judge that one-shot story on its own terms before the reveal that it was just a story written by Prince Baka, and in that regard its really well-done. The joke itself that it was just written by Prince Baka may have not been very funny for some, but even then I just view it as a not so well-done joke, that doesn't really affect my opinion of the rest of the episode, because I still think the story itself was well-constructed and well executed.
