This made me laugh :) (joke on toradora)



Though I thought the whole thing was great! When Index was lying over the balcony in the beginning I could just see the bird coming.


I thought the tiger-like cat was supposed to be the cat from Azumanga Daioh.


The reference to the actress getting drunk at a DVD launch party seemed odd. Did they have the launch party before they made the DVD? If the DVD was already finalized, they wouldn't be able to make that joke...

It wasn't for the DVD, it was a launch party for the anime itself ;)

Anyway, really enjoyed this. Found myself laughing throughout the whole 8 mins.

Well, not bad but not so funny anymore. Shana-tan is great but this rather kinda boring.

"Hey look, she's so drunk, let's make an inside joke about it in one of our parody specials"
"Yeah, good idea!"

I bet that's how it went :P

My favorite part was when Touma told Stiyl and Kanzaki to act like main characters and not be content as side characters. The anime then cut to a shot of the ED credits with their names highlighted. (Pic below)

Oh and the Toradora reference went right over my head but in my defense I watched this episode at like 2 AM while at work.

No worries, I did too. I mean I saw it and knew that the tiger was from Toradora but I didn't actually register the joke. These 8 mins are just so packed with gags, rewatching it was necessary. xD

Nope but i could see the confusion/similarities. It's suposed to be a baby tiger that is seen as a joke in toradora.

Keep these coming. My favorite part was the launch party joke. This short was a lot more violent than the actual series too, hearing Kanzaki literally bashing Touma's head open and hearing the blood splat sound effects.

I caught the Toradora gag, but I wasn't sure if I was correct or not.

The puking part was funny too.

HoaRy said:

Okay, best part of it was Himegami picking up Toradora!'s tiger :)

Sweet cameo~

They even referenced Shana-tan's version in a bold direct way xD

Although Shanatan's Uruchais are still superior ^^

This brings up the question: Would a Taiga-tan thing work? Only time will tell~

Funnier then Shana-tan.
But only because its a parody of it.
If index had started this, it would suck as much as shana-tan...

I want to see actual pictures of her drunk from that party if there are any online, being a Kanzaki fan, I mean if there are pics of Touma's VA I'm sure there must be some of her's, lol.
