Found this episode a little bit more funny. The impersonations and song was actually made me laugh.

They will probably keep going with the 12-minute split with different VAs, that's disappointing.

I like how they made fun of generic fantasy anime at the beginning.

Which fortune teller prediction did you screenshot? I got a cute Nanachi.


Yeah, the author has a thing for Nanachi. Plus they're on the same digital manga website.

So there are slight changes between each half other than the voice changes now, guess that's a start. The director has gone on record saying he doesn't understand what he's working on, maybe the VA skit was a reaction to that.

These are not jokes, these are memes. This is not a show, it's a playlist. This is not funny, it's... whatever it is you're feeling late at night when you're looking at playlists of memes.

Key to the experience is the quality of the OP, the voice-actors, the stop-motion, etc. In much the same way, Warhol and Duchamp were actually capable of producing "normal" realistic art but chose not to.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

As the OP was starting for the second time, I was literally thinking to myself "I bet this show would continue this repeat gag just so they can change a few things after the first week and anyone who skips it will miss them," and lo and behold I hit the nail on the head XD I totally dig most of this show's humor, it's going to be a fun watch for the season.

The insert song with the (actually really well done) stop-motion sequence, call me weird, but I actually didn't care much for the female singers but the male singers' version was pretty good... which is really weird all things considered.

I hope people are still checking out bits of the second half of each episode, because there's some different parts. The whole voice-acting/ghost gag had different seiyuu complaining to the producer, with a different punchline at the end. Plus you gotta watch the idol puppet performance with the male voice actors XD

That OP is surprisingly good.

And I love that comment "You voice actors get paid for that?" Lol just bash em! The live-action segments were awesome. They're not even trying to hide it.

The stop motion animation for the song intermission was actually well done, and I too preferred the male singers over the female ones.

Slow motion makes everything dramatic!

And I love the Instagram segment. I mean why is it always food!?

the OP is surprisingly bery good holy shit, even the song for stop motion is catchy as hell too, no matter who sing it.

some of the jokes are funny when is voice by male, so i dont mind watching it twice, it has it's own feeling, and hearing the OP twice, why not.

these kind of things that makes me cant wait for episode 3, best anime no doubt

I will say, that is one hella kick-ass opening. And that first skit was absolutely fantastic... after that it was essentially the same as first episode and I lost interest, I mean, it was more enjoyable than the first one, felt like less of a glorified meme but still. It was just kind of... whatever. I'm gonna drop out here.

The part of the voice actors reacting to the episode was awesome.
I'm dissappointed the part of the song of the second part of the episode was a low pitched version of the actual one. I thought the male voice actors would sang it.

So is this going to be the norm from now on? Playing the same episode twice but with different voices?

At least they give you the option.

At worst, you can still treat it as a 10-minute show, which isn't too terrible for an absurd comedy like this.

Either way, this show makes me eager to wait for new episodes, if only to check out what kind of insanity they can come up each week.

I love it so far. OP is amazing. The longer skits are also very funny, and so other short skits. Aoi Yuuki is great as Popuko with her wide voice range.

Treat it as Adult Swim the anime and you get the best anime in years.

Damn wtf I didn't expect the OP to actually be good. Or maybe I just have shit taste. This episode was better than the first one but it still felt the same. I feel like I'm going to end up unironically enjoying this show by the end of it.

Definitely better than the first episode, especially with the new OP. However, playing the same episode twice with different VAs and minor differences is already really old, and it's trying my patience. Heck, it's actually making me like the show less.

As of now dropped. I love brainless humour, but most sketches are not even making me laugh. I dislike the change in seiyuu as much as I dislike watching the same episode twice in a row.

This was... good.

Honestly VERY GOOD.

It is very creative, like the first episode was. But the pacing is much better and it actually IS FUNNY. I don't know if I can like this show as often as I'd like, but this episode proves that I will be able to like it at least from time to time. And the production is an amazing display of talent and experimentation which becomes evident even if the joke doesn't hit the mark.

The "reemission" joke was never funny, so I'm glad they took a different flavor to it, and it actually went better than the first episode. A third one would be overkill though.

WooOOoOw this anime... I love it. Its sense of parody is like none I've seen in anime before. They are just doing whatever the hell they want. The first part with the incomplete fantasy anime was genius, and then there was an actual live action skit in the voice recording room! I just really appreciate what they're doing and all of the bizarre stuff that happens. I hope they keep this weird free spirit up through the run!

Also yes the OP is freaking incredible

EDIT: Guys, no one is forcing you to watch the "whole episode but changing the voices" thing. They even play an ED before it. This is a 12 minute episode anime essentially, just ignore that re-doing part instead of seeing it as a thing to be seriously criticised. They're only trying to fill the episode time. It's not actually worth watching unless you found the episode really funny.

Their male voices are the best, they sound like gyarus with their female VAs but they still sound snarky either way.

When they turned into cute dolls and had a male version of the song, I was expecting the same girl version for some reason but the male version works better.

The live action VAs in the room complaining about the Anime itself was the only part that really changed other than the obvious VAs in the second half.

Why the hell would MAL do this? It's obvious that this Reemission thing is entirely intentional, and they play with the idea. The episodes are 24 mins length.
