Could they do a twist on the joke? Spending everything to set up a joke with a predictable outcome, and it did, is not good comedy. So basically the only one thing that they are selling has failed, what a good start. Maybe later it would turn into some parody or has some satirical comments about the seriyus? But who cares? To someone it's always a parody of some kind, and being one means it's automatically good, you know, it's never about execution or presentation.

LOL. I really love the manager and I feel sorry for her that she has to see statues again but it is just so funny. I'm going to see statues differently after this.

This show was either going to be good or just plain bad, but that was actually good and really funny! I figured it would lean more towards good since they got such a great cast of seiyuu there.
Poor manager with her statue trauma and then... hah.
Really looking forward to more!

Smart and well-executed. The frame story about the manager who learned to hate art school because of statues, now having to manage an idol group full of statues, is not only a good gag but also a kind of Kafkaesque nightmare. It seems like a virtual certainty that no matter what she does for the rest of her life, she'll forever find statues standing in her path. Brilliant for that reason.

There's a lot of potential for characterization with these idol statues which apparently are both aware of their status as busts but also seem to think of themselves as being the historical figures they're depicting. The fact that the end credits pointed out Dionysos on Hermes' shoulder implies that we're going to see some more depth and history to the characters.

There's also the implicit hilarity of "idols" being quite literally... idols.

So far it seems like we're in for a good, smart comedy that hits the right buttons. I was also impressed with the animation style during manager's flashback sequence, the statues seemed like they could have been an excuse for lackluster animation (lots of stills of them talking) but they are giving signs they're going to compensate for that.

Less than a 7 rating? After the first episode? Stop embarrassing yourselves, MAL. This is already a very smart comedy that shows nothing but promise.

Sekkou Boys will save Anime. Sekkou Boys will do for Anime what NGE, FMA, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Yugioh, etc. couldn't do.

Japan, you never cease to amaze me with the stuff you barf out as Anime. I liked it.

I want more. More!!!
