| i swear this anime is full of WTF moments XD the raining chicken scene lmfaooo her hair is creepy tbh but, can i have it plz? rofl why do i go 'awwwwwwww' every time a fairy talk or show up :'3333 is it normal or this anime's fairies Are fucking kawaiiiiiiiiii :'3333333 and no i guess i won't drop it after all, it Is boring sometimes but it's weird and i like weird stuff <33 C: 4\5 |
| Am i the only one slightly disturbed by the movement of the Skinned Chicken Boss during his speech? *shivers* I knew there was a reason i preferred my chicken in parts or nuggets. Anyway, i loved this episode. It's weird as ever, but gave me quite a few laughs. The assistant's cynical story to that scoop scene- all hilarious along with the cliff scene. Ave Maria fit everything. It gave me PPG and Ice Age flashbacks. Also the subliminal messages on certain topics are neat. So far i'm loving this series. |

| i never even thought i'd pick this up now it's on the top 3 or top 5 this season. the ave maria insert was brilliant. watashi was also awesome this episode. and the assistant with his negative side.... i just related to him too much and cracked at his idea of a joke. edit: it helped a lot that i was eating chicken throughout the episode. |

| I find this series weird and so do many others, but what is this weirdness? Upon a further inquiry, I think I found an answer. Watashi seems genuinely human with her curiosity and willpower (or lack therefore) pushing her through the events in the episode; the rest, not so much. The two that stand out clearly as plot devices and not characters are the assistant and the manager. The assistant pulls out an inappropriate joke at an inappropriate time, clearly to discombobulate the viewer from the serious tone of the preceding scenes. The assistant, subsequently, nonchalantly leaves Watashi alone, only to come to her supposed rescue, which Watashi enlightens us is for his exclusive scoops. Next, all the manager spouts are his supposed benefits and risks as the events take place. He clearly is a mouthpiece for social commentary without a shred of emotion that is not from something calculated. The audience is forced to follow the plot, while listening to background noise coming from the manager. The plot is deemed solved without a shred of evidence. Clearly, this series gives little care about its plot or its character (except for Watashi). I'm trying to understand character motivation, when there exist none. I'm trying to follow the plot, when there exist none. No wonder I find this anime weird. The only way to enjoy this episode (if not the first episode as well) is to shut off my usual brain functions concerning storytelling and concentrate on the comedy it presents us, very much like stand-up comedy. Now the real question is whether I can tolerate 12 episodes of stand-up comedy. Luckily for me, I have hopes in Watashi being a human being. After all, the only thing I enjoyed while watching the first two episodes (without my brain turn off) is Watashi's humanity. |
| Love this series so far. Love the social commentary and dark humor. Perhaps my favorite scene being the chickens, Watashi adjusting her glasses when she was supposed to be listening to the speech, and the "gunfight". @ s2012k1993 There is a lot more to this than stand up comedy. It's pretty obvious at this point that the characters are supposed to represent various things wrong with people and society in general. Such as the manager only interested in promotion and the guy who works at the factory but doesn't actually know what the fuck he's doing in the slightest. I don't think the show is trying to create deep multifaceted characters...though the traits shown have been very human. Greed, reliance on God, laziness...and maybe even some other things I may have missed. |

I am not arguing that this series is bad, but that watching Humanity has Declined with the usual perspective of watching an anime results in a painful/weird experience (at least for me). A good story is run by its characters and a decent plot. Both are missing in this series. What it instead has are caricatures for characters and something that resembles a plot for the sake for having a plot. Also, I don't look down at stand-up comedy. In addition to providing me with laughs, it can poke fun at society and the audience. Even enlightening! What stand-up comedy is not, however, is good storytelling. Now that I know not to expect storytelling, I can enjoy this series for what it is. |
| HOLLY FUCKING BIG UNREAL SHIT! AVE MARIA! SAINT MOTHER OF JESUS INRI CHRIST! hhashhshHHHAO HAHO MY GOD!! I don't.. .as.a.a this is fosssss GENIUS! My soul is almost leaving my body, some one save me! |

just-away said: Loved the head chicken's speech on domination over the humans and fairies, only to be ignored. Chicken: The was important.... Well produced for rel hilarious part. loved it |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| A series that manages to remind me of Edward Gorey and Idiocracy in the same timespan is surely a formula for something wonderful. But now I will shiver whenever eying my can of food and the less than identifiable ingredients within. |
 |
| Kishi Seiji doing what he does best: mixing in dramatic and serious music in comedy scenes to make them a lot more awesome. On another note, think I might become a vegetarian for a bit. |
| Best. Picture book. Ever. |
 |
| This show is really something. XD I hope the keep the quality for more episodes to come! |
| I want a picture book like that. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |

|
| All that was going through my mind while watching this was... WTF!!! Really random anime, will be willing to watch more. |
 |
| Anyone care to compile every subliminal messages in this episode? Also the pun? This episode gives me a very good laugh that I rarely have that made me forgot to think Especially that Ave Maria. |
| This show is on the fast track to comedy greatness. Hopefully it keeps it up. |
| <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b8l5af.jpg" /> |
| that was great lol and the use of Jesper Kyds Ave Maria never overstayed it's welcome kinda feel like this show is underrated but it could just be me. |
 |
| Mad trippy and hilarious xD I couldn't even keep up with wut that processed chicken was sayin cuz of its voice. |
[right] |
| Weirdly Amazing |
| This show caught me completely off guard. It's damn hilarious, yet it feels like Kino no Tabi but more cunning, critical and cynical. Also, I really like how the OP & ED are quite related to the show itself. This is easily the most overlooked show of the season. |
 |
| This show is 10/10 material. |
| Okay so many weird things happened but kinda funny though, I'll gave it another chance |
 |
| I don't even know what I'm watching, but I'm enjoying a lot, lol. |
| Geoff was the culprit behind all of it. The End. XD |
| I picked this up only because of Nakahara Mai without any expectations or idea what's to come, but it got me right from the start. Probably the biggest surprise of this season. |
| This episode was much, much more weird & random. But in a good way. Thanks goodness I do not like meat so much, because this chicken episode was kind of disturbing... |
| This story is actually the continue of the movie Chicken Run(2000). The Chickin here actually run away and have revenge on human mankind and plan to take over the world by controlling the economy. I think I made wrong assumption on the headless chicken last episode lol Seems like the Chickin(processed Chicken) seems to have gain some "wisdom" from the fairy and they went coup d'état against the harmless(maybe) fairy. The hair growth product also contain "wisdom" in it and MC seems to use it without any precaution .Well, the result is that she now can have tentacle hair to play on her own-self. It is amazing how these fairy would do anything just for some sweet candy ^.^ tsubasalover said: Chickens are the boss for why humans are "suitai". "Suitai" ... they just lazy to regain back their precious technology or something prevent human to further advanced. Here a bit spoiler from the previous chapter before this. |
| It managed to make me lol at the very first second. I want that subs glasses so that I won't have to wait for subs anymore! |
| . |
THANK YOU BLEEDING BREAD FROM EPISODE 1. |
| one of my fave this season >.< weird but catchy and entertaining <3 <3 |
| HAHAHAAHA this ep is golden xD I was literally LMAOing at the ave maria scenes xD. 5/5 I love this anime ;) |
| It's been awhile since I last saw this high level of comedy. Processed chicken world domination? Ave Maria? Awesome. |
| loved the moment when yousei-san said "Shall we dive" and she replied "I cannot fly~" |
 |
| best show of the season has been decided! |
| Episode 2 Hahaha Great ep, even better than the previous, enjoyed every second of it. Nakahara also is perfect for the role, she got very well the 'nuances' of the character ^^ |
Elite60 said: I laughed at the end when Watashi's hair handed her brush. Watashi thought all along it was god (神 pronounced kami) when in reality it was her hair (髪 also pronounced kami) who saved her. Aaaaah haha! I finally get it! I thought it was funny w/o the puns. But understanding the Japanese brings it to a whole new level. I'm going to have to watch it again. This show is awesome! |
