I got really lost when Gankyou was in space...
Too many references (neta)... I don't get it! Sell the Earth? What does that mean...?

The man who wore a spacesuit, is the former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Hatoyama.
He has a strong liberal idea and he is close to Chine and Korea. (Generally, Japanese public opinion are close to USA and EU)
He ruined national interests when he was the Prime Minister, so he is hated by conservatives & right-centrists in Japan.
Mr. Hatoyama is nicknamed The Space Alien because he is an incomprehensible Dietman for them.
Many Japanese also often call him The Traitor, therefore he said "Sell the Earth" (it means betray citizens) as a joke in ep6.

Anyway, Gan-chan is so cute!! especially when she held a Dharma and smiled in the last part.
Uh...that her remarks is like lunatic^^;

I quite understand that non-japanese aren't familiar with these references.
Extremely local NETA they are.
Altogether, Kumeta's works are given that way.
Anyway, to my regret, it seems like this anime is unpopular among this site.
I love this though...

Wow... there was a lot of Japanese right-wing politics at the end with former Prime Minister Hatoyama. Kinda figured he was a lousy guy when he lasted only about half a year. Even for Japanese PM, that is too short.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Gankyou actually graduated from the show! AHahahaha.
I love all the four puns. Hehehehehe.

Being a student council president is hard... I only know Medaka from the pic.

LOL at when he won the Solar System elections, by punching the previous prime minister! Ahahahaha.

The "Four Wows" skit was so hilarious! So many references there that I recognize like the use of "Elite Four". xD I laughed so many times in this episode! Episode 6 so far is my most favorite.

Their conversations and ideas just keep getting more random every episode, which I like. :)

I loled at that K-ON reference and that AKB senbatsu election reference.


well, to tell the truth, I was laughing almost the whole time, so it's difficult to tell where I was laughing harder^^

Gan-chan...put down the crack pipe.

And god damn it!
Do we really need to remove Mari's clothes every chance we get?
And why am I complaining?

Actually I just realized that that andom red head I've been seein on /h/ lately is Mari.
Well shit, now it all makes sense!

Wait...why are they settin her up to be the /h/ queen?
Oh right, pervy little girl, got it.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.

Lol, well it isn't.. it's about the ex-Japan prime minister that everyone hate? Maybe?
But if it's Heartseed, I love that punch in the face xD

Hmm now that I think about it, four really is a good number. They've convinced me :o Of course Gan-chan didn't like it but Mask saves the day!

So many references to keep up haha. Did they just call K-on boring? XD! They even managed to make fun of the former prime minister. "You even sold the Earth." LOL!

This time it's not even a question of idiom, there was almost nothing that made me laugh. The comic jokes didn't work very well and the narration was a bit boring, given that it gave a lot of space to citations that were not easy to understand on the fly. Design quality etc, excellent.

Basically: "I will complain about everything while using cute girls as hook for the audience - The Anime"

By the way, I have noticed the series becomes way too boring every time Gankyou takes the spotlight.

Girls... are you aware you couldn't play the original Super Mario Kart as four people? (it was such bad news discovering it myself about 20 years ago)

Obvious K-On reference, funny... this anime release year (2012) is when i began watching it. Mask ruins Gankyou's attempt of revenge, even if it was honestly understandable (and seriously, good job for the writing being able to go on that long for the 4 > 5 discussion)

"Where is everybody?" told exactly by the two girls with seiyuus not involved with Love Live in the close future of back then was accidentally meta in hindsight and i enjoyed it a lot.

Still not used after all this time to Yoshino Nanjo screaming and going off the wall (but she's just adorable whatever she does). But seriously, Gankyou, don't ban contact lenses, please. And for once, her eyes were visible after taking off glasses (finally).

It's funny, but sometimes I doze off when I watch it so I watch it again.

Daruma isn't that scary. The girl was angry at being excluded from the friendship circle.
