Shouta Aoi's OP...musically was kinda disappointing, but the visuals are OUTTA THIS WORLD.

To have last season's "End of the World" battle against Takeshobo a.k.a King Records evolve with the Gundam parody, plus the Obari feeling, it's immaculately planned to perfection.

Pop Team Epic's back with style, and what style it is.

First half VAs:
Romi Park and Kugimiya Rie aka Ed and Al Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist

Second half VAs:
Hiyama Nobuyuki and Morikawa Toshiyuki

And yes, Obari Masami and Sunrise return to create an actual Obari-style mecha anime episode.

I don't know why, but that first skit was funny yet kinda relatable for some reason; you'd just rather not take responsibility or fake something out than admitting your wrongdoing. On the other hand, we finally get a taste of the new, trippy 360° OP and the episode starting off with some CGI animation and a Pixar intro sequence parody. Additionally, that was some pretty sus movements with that sausage on chopsticks.

And as I mentioned last week, seems like more segments from season 1 are popping up again, most notably Pop Team Cooking (though I hope we get to see a return of that JAPON MiGNON segment, that was pretty cool). On top of that, we have a Gundam reference—also harking back to the pseudo-OP from the TV special—of their other arch nemesis asides from Takeshobo.

I'm disappointed by the OP's song but the visuals were absolutely incredible, even better than the 1st one I would say.

The message of the mecha part made me reminiscence about Gintama. So long since the last time I seen an anime that make fun of their sponsors moves.
Good job defeating King Records, Pop Team Epic.

for sure the 1st two VA's were Kugimiya Rie and Park Romi, but the 2nd half was Morikawa Toshiyuki but the other one i'm not sure of the name of the VA but i've heard him before many times...
3/5.

Wow, talk about a wild OP. Couple that with the very first gag, and it got me good out of the gate. "How's my precious doing?" "It died." Lmao.

Overall, a very strong episode. I laughed at pretty much every segment. They are coming really hard this season. I love it.

I don't even like Mech Anime and I would watch a full season of Biggus McHugeGuy.

Gundam defeats King Records by stopping his attempts to manipulate their development as the dominant sponsor. What the hell is this parody even supposed to mean?

The craziest thing is that I'm still not sure who the real person trolling the franchise here is. The author of this manga or the writer of the show itself, lol.

I agree. Also, is this a manga adaptation or original content? It confuses me how this segment manages to parody yuri bait in modern Gundam even before its current premiere.

I think they mention Masami Ōbari. You know way more about gundam than I’ll ever know so is he an important figure in gundam history?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masami_%C5%8Cbari I think that the list of his works looks like a list of the favorites of some mecha elitist already says a lot, lol. He was also the segment's animator.

Super Budget Hero Great Bari Bari Team Epic was hype, too bad they killed the producer company.
I thought the heat sinks were the final middle finger to the budget but then the ending is a detailed cross section view of the robot, such a dick move.

This ep was so good!
3 main stuffs I liked:
-OP. Damn, it was rock! I bet it could work for any shounen battle-type show.
-VAs. This week we had Rie&Romi who did a great job. It always so fun to try to guess the VAs of the ep.
-Gundam animation. That quality was amazing! Any show would be jealous, also how they talked about it as a plot line was hilarious.
