| So much otaku culture and geeks got mixed into this episode/show lol. Our Otaku Hero just loves his robot. Wasn't expecting this episode to have swimsuits though. Even this show wants to show fan service with the magical girls. Everyone is so competiive in this show. Blue is like the poster girl for being a masochist lol |

| After the brief stint with Slayer, Anarchy can't help but worry about their future, which he can't request her for help but Pink to help fix his broken Godeen toy...by injecting her magic into it, which caused it to act weirdly and drop into the Kanda River. Unfortunately, the Mansei Bridge Otaku Commune is another crazed Otaku group made up of old fogies, whch their children are embarrassed by their parents being overly Otaku. They're one and all the same but having trouble relating to one another is not good..and the only way is to see fanservice for a swim meet, because it can do obscene wack shit like these. Blue is totally obssessed with her fetish, while Yu is the real deal for the Ninja Warrior-like course. Pink is caught cheating by doping in the sumo-like match against Mai, and the classic band-snatching event with Anarchy against the kids while the adults fight over their obsessions and treat it like treasures for fear that they get ostracized, it's unlike the current day where Otaku is a general appeal and not a persecution. They have a point though: adults, especially those in families being Otaku is generally seen as weird, and for Otaku Hero, he has his youth and his team of magical girls to back him up...NOT. The generational gap problem may be there, but the SSC can come in anytime and sweep them away, which is exactly what they did. Unfortunately, with the adult Otaku still adamant on their beliefs, it only took until Otaku Hero's doped Godeen to show the light, and truly...they're just for show. The treasure trove of artifacts shugged deep into the Kanda River, and thanks to Godeen, the generational gap issue is resolved, only for this, one day. The only episode that so far, has caught my interest. A good one. |

| Another bonkers episode this time with swimsuits I hope Otaku hero is able to unite all Otaku's under the same banner |
| We went crazy, especially Blue. Amusing take on the obligatory fanservice episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I am so in love with Blue lol, she’s the best part of this show. Need more of her fanservice. I liked the war between old and new otaku. Episodes like this definitely lend credence to the theory that this is all within the characters’ heads and is really an analogy for self acceptance |
 |
| First scene had me very excited to continue cause I can't wait to go "This wants to be Prisma Illya so bad" if it's going where I think it's going |
| Godeen on the loose because Pink Dope, but, alright not expecting the obligatory swimsuit episode even to this show. Here we are with Sugita as a star-guest cast everything still comes true. Even the enemy also matching up with the theme too, very well-planned, Shobo leader! Too bad a clean Kanda river now lost its water because of the fight. Tho they also need to clean all those tras- i mean, treasure. So i might understand one random meaning behind this episode: no littering the river, you guys! |

| new otakus vs old otakus lmao and the goat sugita tomokazu!! he raised some solid points there. yet another solid episode. some anarchy and blue fanservice, you love to see it. pink doping before her match though xD |
 |
| This anime dont make me upset at all. The Blue fanservice part were so good in my opinion. The animation is a great point too in this episode. Also the OP and ED are the best of the season. A solid episode in general. |
| Like the previous episode I really liked this one. Show is starting to hit its stride humor-wise. That blue obstacle course scene was ridiculous. |
| What a treat. Its only eps 4 and we got some skinship and swimsuits eps! This show is really spoiling us! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Kind of a sleepy episode, a lot of off-model drawings too. It tried to do what the previous episode did, to create some sort of emotional beat which is nothing more than a bait for comedy, but in both topics, it feels weaker than the last one. Atleast we got Blue service.  |
| Episode was awesome. I thought they did a fantastic job depicting the age of the Otaku culture from the 80's and 90's to modern day era. Plus it's a swimsuit episode with battle robots! |

| I feel like this show is about to jump the shark. The randomness just felt stale in this episode. Hope next episode we get back on track with the owo forces and how purple will redeem herself as magical girl. |
| The usual Mahou Soujo Magical Destroyer episode, in which something happens and the magical girls has to save the world, this time being a beach episode water canal episode with a few cool ecchi parts, Blue's always like that though. It's still as enjoyable for it's mess that it is, but i'm sure it'll come up to something very great later ! Excited to see what's next |
| I like everything, ok |
| Well, this is sad, I've seen lots of animes that makes fun of the otaku culture, generally all of them cover the same topics with the same ideas and jokes, and that's ok, I don't mind it of course, in fact I like it, but this one just misses the mark, it ain't funny in any way, the jokes don't land, and I feel like the writters knew it so they try to cover the bad jokes with ecchi or dumb sex jokes, the sole role of Blue is to be the girl that do those things and it's by far the worst character here because of it. This may have good animation, but really after the 1st episode it just became really boring to watch. Also I'm sorry but I hate both the opening and ending, those have really good animation and aesthetics but they don't fit in any way with the show and end up making me feel weird, like if they end up tiring me lol 4/10 Dropped. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Blue is really seducing everyone with her swimsuit when she's all horny af oh the irony |
| i'm just glad they got the "beach episode" out of the way quickly. |
 |
| Anyone know the references with the spoon transformation or the end image art style? |
| the end card is taken from magical destroyers kai, which is the tie-in mobile game from asobimo. it's just cool promo art and not a reference to anything in particular. |

| Never before have I seen such an evident mismatch in quality between the OP/ED and the show itself. I'm glad people in this thread seem to be enjoying it at least, but I thought this episode was extremely pisspoor, even compared to the already underwhelming first three episodes. I have no idea if the opening was outsourced or something, but it feels as though it has an immensely creative vision. I don't see that reflected in the rest of the anime at all, I find it hard to believe that they were directed by the same minds. I absolutely adore what this show could've been, so it's a shame how dogshit it's turning out Tinfoil hat time. Call me schizo, but I do think the show can redeem itself. I've been contemplating whether or not these introduction episodes have been a red herring. It's a far-fetched theory, because risking a viewerbase with such crippling mediocrity purely in pursuit of a plot twist... would be insane to say the least. But I do think there'll be some sort of catch, there's definitely something bigger at play. The symbolism in both the OP and ED strongly imply how the series will end, and the prospect of that ending does intrigue me. But hey, I'm just trying to justify how jarringly awful everything else is in comparison |
| Right, this was just plain filler. I've been giving this show a lot of latitude on account of being the work of an artist who I'm faithful has a point to make, but this didn't progress the storyline at all nor provide any new characterisation. After the last episode bringing in Slayer and touching on the girls' origins, following up with this utterly senseless storyline is a huge disappointment. I think we're overdue on a few twists. Cutting to buff Pink was funny though, I'll let that slide. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
Bio said: Anyone know the references with the spoon transformation or the end image art style? The spoon is an Ultraman reference when Shin Hayata took out a spoon instead of his transformation device as a one episode gag that turned famous. The "Do Watcha!" is also a reference to Ultraman's famous "Shuwatch" battle cry.     |

| I liked the topic of different experiences of otaku in different times. Some of the gags were pretty funny. |

| I was really hoping that this show would live up to its amazing OP and ED, but this was just bad, downright bad. Not even so bad it's funny, just bad. I am starting to wonder if it is going for an anti comedy approach? I want to say that there will be some twist and it will get good, but I think that is just wishful thinking at this point. Who knows maybe there will be some twist and I can eat my words, but I am going to have to put this show down. It's a shame but maybe I will return to it, if it ends up getting better later... but I am feeling doubtful. |

| Meh, episode was dull ngl. So far I enjoy this but the line between boldness, creativity and stupidity is sometimes very thin. |

| Ah yes. The whole old vs. new anime fan thing. This episode really made me think about how it is where I live. I think in the US-- or at least California in the 90's, it was normal for anime to be around because Pokemon was having its boom. So like Otaku Hero said, there wasn't really this idea of "otaku" it was just more like everyone was into Pokemon and their interests just expanded to other anime (Digimon, Beyblade, etc.). For us, there wasn't anything really shameful about any of it because it was just what was localized to become kids entertainment at the time. It's more that once you aged out of that demographic is when we were expected to get out of it all. The good thing was that I wanna say most people didn't know what the heck anime even was, so you could easily talk about anime in public, but no one would know what the heck you were talking about anyway, so you were safe. I can imagine in Japan it's not quite the same. Like just walking around here and talking to my classmates, I realize that suddenly people around might know exactly what I'm talking about (or at least understand that you're talking about some anime or something) so it's like... oh shoot, there's not much hiding things. ( Also, as for the US before I was born, I was told it was a lot more different. ) In California nowadays, the anime fan scene is a lot more open. People wear anime T-shirts of anime they haven't even seen before. There's no hiding, but now no one cares. Yet it's not even like an otaku thing, it's just that everyone and their mom got into anime during quarantine. Now it's a matter of how deep into anime you are. A lot of my little cousins watch anime and get excited when they hear I watch anime as well, but then they realize I'm not just like... a Netflix anime watcher and have been into anime for longer than they've been alive and they probably find that to be a little too geeky. I guess it's kinda the same in Japan, but being a hidden otaku isn't really necessary anymore it seems-- unless you really don't want to be seen as geeky if you're way beyond Netflix anime fan level. While I'm happy this episode got me thinking of this, it was a bit of an odd episode in comparison to the other three. As much as this conversation interests me, I'd rather keep the plot going and character development growing. |

| the sexualization of that 7-8ish kid was so gross and the "fanservice" so in-your-face that i almost quit watching. the only reason i finished this episode is bc i got distracted halfway and it kept playing lol this is why "magical girl" anime (it's tagged as one) really suck when they are catered to a male audience. |
| ⠀૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ??♡ |
| Older otakus vs new gen otakus, it's true that the culture evolved a lot compared to before, but Otaku hero is right they need to stand together :) (anyway we got to see the girls in swimsuits lol) |
 |
| This episode would've been a 5/10 if it weren't for the gross sexualization of that little boy, now it's a 2. Funny enough as somebody with a low tolerance for fanservice I actually like Blue as she feels like a satirical take on hypersexual characters, and the show itself mocks her by having characters find her horniness more annoying and unnecessary than hot; I get huge Miu Iruma vibes from her in that sense. That said with this episode being nothing but fanservice, yeah it's a miss for me, and that "joke" with the kid left such a bad taste in my mouth. Just why? |
| I get this is parody of otaku culture but the sexualization of the children was gross. Ironic shit posting is still shit posting and the soft core shota was not funny. |
| Buff Pink scene was way too funny! haha ;D |
