| I have to say, even if Otaku Hero is awkward, hes carries a lot of responsibility for the team. We also got some magical idol moments but man, the episode introduced some weird elemens. And that talking head...horror fuel. |
 |
| "HELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!" |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Well that was an interesting ending that talking head is creepy as fuck |
| At first I though it would be a silly episode like others previously... but we're too deep now to have fun, we're in war like Anarchy said, and the Wanku! didn't happened as expected (what the fuck is the idea of making an otaku convention in a world where otakus are banned ??) and they got pretty stomped by the SSC, that ending makes me very perplexed for the future, we're might be in the final arc, and probably the darkest.. Exited to see it! |
| I like everything, ok |
| Hmm, for an episode directed by Hironori Tanaka, who was key animator for Episode 5 of Mob Psycho S2, parts of CSM, JJK, Madoka Magica, Fate, and so much more, I expected a bit more from this episode than what we got, but it introduced some intriguing elements, and it has me wondering, how much of this entire story is real, or is it some illusion that Otaku Hero conjured up? The performances were nice, and the ending of the episode has me thinking we're in for a dark final arc, hopefully it ends in an exciting way. |

| Ok the end of this episode was dark as hell. That talking head and the art style change was wild. Looks like we’re setting up for the final battle |
 |
| Boi this episode felt so trippy, so many amazing bits. |
| Was that Nick's head at the end? It kinda sounded like him. But shit I guess Kyotaro is another RAT?!?!?! Man art and animation were insanely good this episode. |

| What a great episode. I didn’t know what was going on for half of it. But man was it beautiful. Nice cliffhanger at the end there |

The performances were nice, and the ending of the episode has me thinking we're in for a dark final arc, hopefully it ends in an exciting way. My theory is that everything is fictional. Shobon was able to capture all otaku easily and put everyone in a simulation to make them normal. But Otaku Hero fought hardly against the mindwash. And that's what we see. It's weird how Otaku Hero is a leader without doing anything or having any power or talent. |
| I was so lost in the chapter, I still am but that's how crazy this anime is. Anyway, otaku hero song was bautiful. |
| This episode I had no idea what was happening and the animation quality took a nosedive. Not good signs |
| the animation seemed like an improvement from last week with those detailed expressions and lighting. otaku hero talking to himself as if it's an interview tho lmao. but sometimes you need to unwind, indeed. not sure what pink was singing tho. |
 |
| I don't know what people are on about here but the animation has been terrible. So has been the direction of this anime. Just when I thought episodes 5 and 6 were starting to redirect the series into the direction of its original premise, episodes 7 and 8 come along offering nothing to the table beside some vague hinting dialogues for character progression (?) |

| Hironori Tanaka drawings are always a pleasure to see i guess Otaku Hero is just dreaming all of this like the ED already implied  |
| Probably my favorite episode yet. |
| It's all in his head.. Psychological. In the ending song it seems Otaku hero is in a hospital and the magical girls are just nurses... In the end he died |
 |
| I liked it. What was up with TV head tapping his fingers? |
 |
| Blue was drawn so beautifully this episode, those eyes got me |
   |
| Anyone knows the insert song name at around 15:00 min? |
| Most of the bad guys were cameo'd in ep 1. So I think we might end up with something really mind blowing. The biggest mystery is probably how Slayer is connected to Anarchy and the rest of the girls. Anarchy clearly had a physical reaction of headache when Slayer appeared in magical getup. The cheater gamer dude got scared as fuck of Anarchy for some reason as well. If this really is all in Otaku Hero's mind then it's one hell of an acid trip. |
| Is there someone who understands this ep |
 |
| I leave with more questions than answers after this episode but looking forward where this will go. |
| Neat, they finally said the title. I believe this episode may have aided in confirming a few things that have been thrown around, particularly with the alternative realities Otaku Hero spun through during the latter half of the episode. I imagine what Anarchy told him right at the end, about their dreams creating reality, is less metaphorical then most think. I hope this shall continue to be a turn-up for the series, truth be told its been somewhat grating recently. Where is Slayer in all this, for a start? She was set up all the way back in episode 3, nearly twice the show has gone since. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Shobon leader was already nice enough to let Otaku Hero had his little fun with the party, even the armies also enjoying the music too in the end with no other friction later on, okay? But then again i feel like the surprise kinda be way too off this time, ngl. I mean, wtf, who the frickin heck dare to throw the talking-head-with-nobody like that after hearing such a good performance like that. Especially after hearing and seeing how the mascot be so sus there. Tho, its coming from the TV-head boss and all this whatever tv otaku show. So well, yeah, nevermind! Let's see next! |

| A secret underground party for the Revolutionary Army, and Otaku Hero has an idea...from his idea of letting people do the things they like. A ludicrous idea, but what the hell, an idea's a plan, inviting well-known otaku celebrities to liven up the party...that the promotion aside with Otaku Hero's own thoughts as a producer, it's no longer THE secret underground party, but more like a festival of sorts, contrasting between fiction and reality. As if Otaku Hero really did everything by himself, it was nothing but a farce, that without some support, he wouldn't get very far. The Wanku! party goes as expected, but still caught within the confines of the alternate realities, this is the rough and tough reality that he has to grasp while the Shobon let him have his moment of reign. Even more so, with Anarchy, Blue and Pink finally as the Magical Destroyers, there's nothing really stopping them, so as long as the dream is there. The war between otaku and the normal is raged with the creepy cliffhanger of a taking head, and this episode was more of the same weirdness, but fascinating from a certain degree. |
 |
So this whole episode was basically one big EVA reference. Interesting... |
 |
| Yes what I truly needed was a metal concert with the three magical girls. Wtf was that end though |
 |
| TNK episode could've been better, but considering the state of other eps, I'll take it. Whiloe watching this and the next episode back to back, seems like he should have been on ep 9 instead. |
| Rage!!!!!!!!!! Love the performance |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| That was pretty wild. Laughed at how everyone just stopped fighting and started clapping for Otaku Hero's song. That talking head tho wtf. |
