the otaku flag is simple and cool lol

This flag reminds me of some American anime/manga company's logo and my brain cannot figure out which one.  Somebody help me out here?
Manga Entertainment. Started in the UK actually. Then dissolved into other companies.

This ended up being quite entertaining. Actually pegged either this or Marginal Service to be the dark horses this season so we'll see.

I have no idea wtf is going on. The first half was forced, the other half makes no sense. There's no OP. The ED is an acid trip in MS Paint...

I love stuff that is over the top but clearly was made with love, and this show is both crazy and unapologetically itself. I love it

I'm in love in weird anime. It reminds me of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt tbh. And it has the same aesthetic as FLCL. And Anarchy-chan is voiced by Power fron Chainsaw Man.

I kinda wish the animation was a tiny bit better, but goddamn if the aesthetics are on point.

I could see this getting a cult following if it ends up really good.

Otaku being persecuted and hunted down for their love of anime? Oh they just like me.

This is the most insane wackiest show I’ve seen in years. Feels like FLCL or something you’d see on toonami in the early 2000s and I’m here for every moment of it. That’s the OP of the year too. Mark it.

It's off to a bit of a rocky start but you can tell it was made by a pretty dedicated team who enjoys what they're doing, i'm sure the animation and writing will pick up along the way.

Super fun though, i loved the comedy and the 2000's otaku references all over the place, the visuals really sell it here and wow is the soundtrack good, i think it's been said 100 times before but that OP was insane. Between this and Akiba Maid War i'm all in with the 'akihabara otaku culture with a dark twist' genre, very nostalgic but very fun nontheless.

Yo what the fuck, that's a really random story, but it seems pretty funny and has great potential. Opening is very fucked up and epic gore metal, that's cool. The animation was stunning and very fluid, probably the best thing Bibury has done so far. Excited for next episode !
I like everything, ok

Had a strong and insane intro, with a completely and utterly unhinged OP at the end, but its story and comedy kinda lost steam for me as the episode went on. By the end it started to feel really generic in a way that I couldn't exactly write off as deliberate parody. Might be a case where I have to let it cook for a bit longer, but I don't know if I'm really feeling this one.
Exactly the same. Technically this anime has potential, I really liked the characters design and some sequences of animation.

I don't know how to feel about this one yet. I like that it is silly, but I felt that overall the comedy was not good in that first episode. Pow... I mean, Anarchy was the best character. Maybe they will change in the following episodes, but I want to see more of her instead of Otaku Hero. The OP is great . Animation was all over the place. Nice looking at times, very basic at others.

Not sure what to think about this tbh. The concept of wackiness while using those culture as a setup already died off pretty fast. But here i am still curious to see what's up. The first few poster ahead already mentioned about Garandoll. At least Gyakuten have a mecha, idol, and loli. But this? Hmm, i guess the magical girl kinda be lacking for this type of story. Needs more stronger plot of story or rather, full-blown animation factor to attract me well...

It has great animation, over the top characters, goofy mahou shoujos, a dumb plot and a lot of action.
This will be amazing! I have high expectations now!


The only thing I don't like is that Otaku Hero smokes, I find it really unnecessary for his character, feels like they were trying so hard to make him look "cool" and ended up with that dumb decision.

It's kinda weird to me that this isn't a TRIGGER anime tho, it looks that good!

They forgot to make the comedy attempts be funny.
Half of the episode played the drama almost completely straight without bringing a punchline or subversion or any reasonable joke, I'm not sure if it's a direction problem but there was nothing in it apart from being 'lol so random'. It's like playing Akiba's Trip, except without energy to keep up the rhythm.

Very absurd premise and I like the way it handles the comedy aspect, not so deliberate in it's execution, a lingering feel to it, it's almost always there. Kind of reminded me of Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department. Really enjoyable start. Some good juxtaposition with the surreal setting and the somewhat serious overtone.

Remember Lerche's Fall 2021 show Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo a.k.a Rumble Garanndoll? The same premise reused 1.5 years later, but with magical girls.
I hope this one is better, as that one I dropped.

Ugh, that's what I get for not reading the synopsis before I watch the first episode. This wasn't for me. I want more magical girls, whether it's fluffy kid shows or dark deconstructions - but not like this one. Not saying it's a bad show, just not at all my cup of tea, so I won't continue watching. Some mentioned it having Trigger and Gainax vibes, and I can definitely seen that. I don't like Trigger anime and I don't like FLCL, and this felt like something along that line. Probably a great one for the right audience.

Ok what in the FUCK did I just watch???? I hopped in this thinking it was gonna a good original anime but this is SOOOOO original bc I ain’t even know what’s going on or why that evil government or whatever is taking Otaku’s to kill or why this show is focused on otaku’s๐Ÿ˜ญIk they’re gonna give more information about the world and shit like that as the episodes continue to air but damn is this one interesting ass show

The animation is fucking nuts at some points I wasn’t expecting this kind of quality of animation tbh especially when Anarchy transformed Sailor Moon style๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ

Lastly Im sticking with this show bc the guy who voices Otaku hero also voices Saitama and Taiju from Dr Stone and the voice actor who voices Anarchy is Fairouz Ai my fav VA who voices Power from CSM and Delta from Eminence in Shadow๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The first minutes made me thought would have some, Japanese natality thingy, or gentrification, luckily didn't. And was Japanese government infected by OwO virus.

Good to know that Pipimi got a new job, as Blue.


Until you mentioned it, I decided to look at the VA's of the characters for this anime and...
1. No wonder Anarchy sound familiar cuz apparently she's the VA of Power from Chainsaw Man
2. The VA of Pink is apparently gonna be the same VA of Amiya from Arknights(where's my dokta at?)

and last but not least
3. Hm. So the VA of Blue is the same VA of Kasumi from Bandori-
So from voicing top notch music band character to voicing an "apparently lewd" character- gosh, I can't wait for how this will turn Out LMAO XD

Will definitely continue watching this and see where this pans out xD

I'll give this one a try purely because of the opening. It's quite color and the characters look funny. It's worth the watch for now.

That was weird ngl, and I'm not entirely sure if this is a parody or something else, but it's interesting to know this is actually based on real historical events. Either way, props for being creative I guess, it was a decent episode, and in general I like how it looks. It felt all over the place tho, a bit of a mess.

gave me serious gainax vibes like FLCL. music and animation absolutely delivered and it was just wacky fun.

I kinda thought this show was going to be another edgy Madoka clone but I'm glad it isn't. Actually a pretty decent start.

Oooooo I fucking knew a show inspired by madoka and dokuro-chan would result in something similar to kill la kill. Im getting some Panty and Stocking vibes too, especially with Blue. She's got Panty's SLUTTTT and her design reminds me of Stocking's. I've dubbed this show Power as a Magical Girl. I'm so glad the madoka clone era is now over
