| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ahh, Buratei and her little performance. How cute. I lol'd @ many of the visuals this episode. Dem realism. Haroukitei is also kinda funny with her delusions imo. Overall, a funny episode :3 |
 |
| Very dense episode with a lot of information. As much as I consider myself quite knowledgeable about references used n Joshiraku, in this OAD episode I often find myself doing further research. It is fun to see all those restaurants and buildings in Jimbocho (and glad that I have been to most of the eateries shown here). It is educational to learn about the history of Kodansha and some older manga. So it is how the name Kodansha came about! And the last short story is amazing, with all the topics derived from the word 集中 (focus, concentrate), from the many jokes about Acchan, the center of AKB48 with a face which looks too "centered", to focus lines used in manga, to everything else like monopoly, stalking, dominance of Tokyo, power concentration, scapegoating and even heavy tilt of anime sales towards popular titles (yeah, I am talking about you: Eva, Madoka, K-On and SAO) or the travails experienced by manga writer having exclusive contract with a publisher. So much fun so much cuteness so much depth so many levels to enjoy |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Oh it was great those see this again, fun and random and just epic as always! |
 |
| more greatness from one of my favorite comedies (anime or otherwise - even though some of the humor/references are a little too arcane for this westerner).....as always enjoyed doing research while watching (consulted the internet at least 3 or 4 times during this episode alone)....like taking a masters class on japanese culture/jokes and great laughs at the same time - another season would be most welcome! 9 of 10 just like the series........ |
 |
| Oah, that was on of the best of the series. Great Ova. |
 |
| This OAD was funny. xD I think I love Kigu cause she likes metal(it was mentioned in an older episode) and classical. xD |
 |
| my fav series ova;) |
 |
| Mari and her pink fluffiness looked good on her wonder if she will get rid of it at some point tho. That mochii making accident was pretty funny Mari had it hard there being taken to the hospital like that and in the end having to go again. |
| :D 3.5/5 |
 |
| I loved the jab towards Hunter x Hunter <3 |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| So meta. |

 |
| It somehow felt weird to suddenly get all those references full frontal, without any trademark censorship... |
 |
| Lol Marii's timing issues from the first skit. xd Overall, good OVA. |

| I love this show when it breaks the fourth wall. |
 |
| Hahaha, Marii's pink fluffy background! xD That was a lot of names mentioned in the second skit and I think I've only recognized one-third of them... :0 More breaking the fourth wall jokes. x3 A second season would be nice. <3 I enjoy watching this series and always brings a wide smile on my face. |
| This looked much more like SZS than the original series... and then Itoshiki-sensei was actually there! :D |

animehobbit said: This looked much more like SZS than the original series... and then Itoshiki-sensei was actually there! :D My thoughts as well, this had SZS-vibe all over, especially when they're bashing Marii and bringing up examples that are becoming more ridiculous as they go on. Zetsubou comedy gold. God now I want more ZSZ ... Or another season of this, that's fine too. Just more of Kumeta is enough. Luckily I still have Katte ni Kaizou on my ptw list. |
| Hahaha. Funny as always. Love the references they made. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Shueisha (they even copied the building)... especially ONe Piece, Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya. Also love the references on Mami and Fire Fist Ace deaths. LOL at the focus line and the rosy background. |

| Lol punching the hero before his tranformation... Oh Marii, I love that late timings... like Patrick Star xD Lol Joshiraku's characters talking about their VA's event? Lol Kigu "Not old enough to get wrinkles! Tee-hee!" such a brilliant answer *_* Lol that focus face, focus lines Aw, Shimamoto-sensei, Dezaki Lol poor Marii.. oh wait she's really get along with the doctor xD Marow said: I loved the jab towards Hunter x Hunter <3 Well they were talking about DB, OnePiece, Seiya... ofc Hunter x Hunter must be included xD Cratex said: "He was a furry too." -- Kukuru Anrakutei Lol I didn't really understand this one symbv said: Very dense episode with a lot of information.

| I might have actually found that funnier than the actual show. Especially the ending when Kigu's face started to disappear. |
| " so this is Shueisha, the building smells of money, some people just call it the one piece building " LOOL so true. |
| Marii clapping in the concert hall had me in stitches. I feel so bad for Kigu, that must have been so embarrassing XD!! One Piece building, DBZ building, Seiya building. Kukuru: "Is there a Hunter building?" Laughed so hard when Kigu's focused face was shown. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| was pretty good |

| What Tchaikovsky piece is this? |
| All aboard the delusion train. |
| Holy shit this was hilarious!!! So many references this episode.. Punching kamen rider before transformation and Marii clapping during the orchestra was just gold XD I laughed like hell when they took a dig at HxH's constant hiatus by saying the Hunter building is under construction due to holdups! Also that dig at Acchan's face and her scandal with Takeru Sato XD God damn this show is fuckin' epic!! Too bad the manga has already ended, no chance for 2nd season :/ |
 |
| I actually enjoyed a lot in comparison to the whole series lol |

Cashdax said: I actually enjoyed a lot in comparison to the whole series lol Same lol. Except for the other 13 episodes, this OVA kept me laughing in its whole. Marii's timing, HxH building, Kigu's focus lines, Mami and Ace references...it's just perfect. |

| Lol @ those references I don't know if this actually harmed anyone yet but they should've spoiler tagged or something |
 |
| Heh heh heh Marii's bubbly aura when she dies is hilarious. |
| Kigu shouldn't focus too much. RIP Ace, we won't forget you. Mami, I already forgot about you, you're annoying that's why. |
 |
| LOL! when they went to show appreciation to their publishers, took the cake from me especially when they saw what it looks like. I really liked this ova as well as the series, too bad it didn't have a second full sequel. |

| Wow, there were a lot of references I missed on my first watch a few years back. |
     |
| Well, to be honest.. It happens like this.. Sometimes people start clapping at play, or concert, or something.. I guess it happens from time to time.. Marii gets more unfortunate timings, it seems.. Well, when you visit lots of stuff and things, higher possibility of doing something stupid.. Than when you do less things.. Also I guess it's a bit subjective sometimes.. I mean, you can enjoy whatever you wanna in manga, film or anything.. If it's striped pants, then it's striped pants, I don't see it as necessary bad.. If anything, you maybe could think more about design, after such laugh.. If anything, it can make you, who receives more random response, to look at things with more imagination.. Some manga talk and company history talk.. Guess these girls are a bit nerdy at times, aren't they.. ;p Not in a bad sense, of course.. Just that they're interested in their hobbies.. ;p Focus lines, lol.. ;p Also would it really be bad in such aura as Mariis?.. Not sure.. ;p |
| Surprisingly, nice OVA overall. The content was as good as in the first episodes of the series and the comedy felt also more effective this time. |
| Punch lines are always great to see. Never got bored watching this. |

| haven't even ended yet the actual regular season but wanted to see this before, and obviously, i wasn't disappointed once again Marii has more of less the same sense of rhythm of Kyle from South Park, seriously, some really bad timing It was cool to have the ED performed as spoken word, but it got interrupted a little too soon LOL, that dig at Sailor Moon and attacking during the transformation of the heroes (and later, the four silhouettes when Kukuru talks about too much focus and its negative consequences) Tetora with twintails still looks good, but i wanted so hard to see the seiyuus animated as anime characters... Kigu's face for too much focus became the same of Andre from Prison School... oh no. Oh no, again, because in just three episodes this series will end and i'll feel lost. |
 |
| I found the episode fun, it's good to see places from the past but it's even sad. I wish they released more episodes, it was funny XD |
