Unlike most anime, it is awkward as hell when Kaeru acts as an idol. Though maybe it is just because she is self proclaimed.

I almost spit out my drink when Kaeru photobombed Nana's picture. Also omg she has 9 twitter followers.

Except Inferno Cop was actually funny. Kaeru was just... awkward.

Well, I'll keep watching this for the next few episodes nonetheless, but my expectations aren't too high at the moment.

Umm... The Inferno Cop of Summer Season? I feel like I can do the animation too.. I just have to get some amateur japanese seiyuus...
Btw I'll watch it, but this Kaeru bitch was fuckin annoying, so hopefully it was her last appearance.

Poor girl.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I found it really hard to engage with because of the complete lack of animation and the annoying characters. I could see it potentially being funny but it just didn't click for me. I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide whether to drop it.

To the people saying she's annoying... what did you expect? She's suppose to be annoying as hell. It's show how moe anime/idol tropes wouldn't work in real life. That's the gag.

So yeah, I liked it. I thought it was funny, so I'm gonna watch it.

This.

I liked it too. This kind of humour reminds me a little of Tentaii Senshi Sunred.

Not at all. I find it funny as hell--probably more so if it were a bit higher budgeted and actual animations instead of a picture-drama style, but still funny nonetheless. It's the kind of story that makes good for 4koma.

My favourite parts were the photobombing. Nana is either super nice, or just can't read the mood.

Kaeru should Kaero from the start.

Probably both, given that she invited Kaeru and played along with her BS.

I'll admit this was funny, despite the complete lack of animation.

Yep...agree. Kaeru-chan is a self promoting, self absorbed, unhappy so-called self named idol who is annoying, a party crasher and wanna-be cute girl. NOT! ;p

Yes, it's obvious satire, so there is an element of social commentary. Not everyone likes that, but if you dislike it because you don't understand it, the problem really isn't with the show.



It's also very low budget. Art is basically just one girl doing everything. Most productions have a slightly larger animation budget that that. So you can't expect it to be good, at best it illustrates what's going on.

I found Kaeru to be a totally believable character, albeit somewhat sad since she obviously does not get why she is returning to an empty table. I have great hopes for this one--particularly if Trigger goes more of a social direction in their humour and a little less down the absurdist route (in the end I put Inferno Cop on hold).
Please don't feed the trolls!

All of this, well said.

Anyway, I enjoyed it.
Onto to the next episode.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.
