| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok, I think this was a super weird episode. Literally, we have a skeletal dude talking with people in a normal environment like everything is normal. He seems to be doing well at his job though. Not a fan of the animation so far. The character movements looks static with poor quality but I'll stick around for the bizareness. |
 |
| Wow, that's literally the funniest thing I've seen all day, hilarious. |
     |
| That was pretty funny and I liked seeing all this manga and lol dem English skills |
  |
| honestly wasn't expecting much going into this... but boy am i pleasantly surprised |
| I would totally buy Gintama tentacle porn for my daughters |
| Forum sniper of MAL. Accuracy, efficiency. Beware the catgun. |
| The manga the granny bought was Gakkougurashi!, right? Oh boy, the surprise the poor lady will get once she reads it. Overall, this show seems interesting. It wasn't that funny but yeah, some parts made me smile. Gintoki being raped by tentacles WTF... |
| I liked this so much. The humor is amazing and the lacking animation only compliments that. |
| Damn baka gaijin and their manga smh |
 |
| the characters were funky ..so any references..just my type of the show |
 |
| a little bit slow, but genuinely funny. a new look on things from bookstore cashier's POV |
 |
| mocking on weebs fujoshis, i like this |
| This seems like it could be pretty funny |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Yaoi knows no frontiers! Now, this is some good comedy that really resonates with the absolute otaku inside me. Not only it mocks the tipical stereotypes you find in the comunity, showing that pretty much all sorts of girls enjoy yaoi, but it also has a really funny and absurd main character that I really connect with. Honestly, Honda-san could probably be my "literally me" character. I'll follow this to the end. |
 |
| Why does this remind me of Saiki humor style a bit? I so died during this. And as was said, the simplified animations just freakin added to it. 2-4 eps like this and this goes to my top 10 all time. |
| Why the skeleton isn't the scariest one in this anime? I'm not sure I found it funny, maybe I'll give it a couple more episodes. |
hysteresis said: Why the skeleton isn't the scariest one in this anime? I'm not sure I found it funny, maybe I'll give it a couple more episodes. I'm not sure comedy is what this series is aiming for. It seems to be aiming for wackiness and absurdity, but with only 10 minutes it is still too early to tell. Not much is available on Sundays this season and I was interested in what I watched, so it will be a welcome addition to my Sundays. |
| Gloirous, all those references. xD That Gintama doujinshi made me laugh so much. XD Unfortunately I couldn't really get the all the BL references so the second half kinda missed me. The moment when you realize the skeleton is the most normal character in the show. xD |
 |
| I understand this is comedy, but should the bookstore owner really be shocked that some people are buying BL? There are BL books in his store, so it's only a matter of fact that someone buys it. I am surprised that he knows Tagame. That isn't a BL writer. He wrote 'My Brother's Husband', an extremely emotional seinen manga. But, he mostly writes some pretty scary stuff. I am probably going to continue this as I love looking at bookstores. |
| Best seasonal anime. |
 |
| hmmm... the style of comedy is very japanese. not really my thing but ill give it another episode or two |
| Not bad but maybe a little too hectic for me. Reminds me of the tonkatsu dj anime. |
 |
| had my doubts, but boy... This was hilarious, hahaha, especially the part with the dad. And the seiyuu of the skeleton is doing an exellent job. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Animation was bad but fucking who cares, this was a pretty funny show tbh. I loved the spamming of references to otaku culture today with shows and fujos. |
| Really funny episode. Liked the animation style, though I don't think it would work in too many other contexts. |
| "It's uhhhh SPECIAL-YAOI BOOK!" "JESUS CHRIST!" AOTY LOL |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Summer 2025 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| I almost passed this anime up. Boy I am glad I didnt lmao |
| Wasn't too bad actually. Animation minimalism wasn't as bad as Inferno Cop, and had decent comedy too. I'm hoping we at least get a tiny bit of insight as to why the MC's a skeleton lol. |
 |
| Funny stuff. Please give Mr. Skeleton a pay raise. He puts up with a lot. |
| Please give more funny foreigners. |
 |
| I've worked retail before. I feel your pain, Honda-san. |
 |
 Those faces  It's awesome how they're talking so lightly about BL and yaoi stuff |
| Not the most amazing thing out there but gave me some good laughs. I'll probably stick with it for the season, I can see this as a good way to pass time on my train rides to school in the morning or other same periods of time like such. |
 |
| I totally lost it when that dj turned out to really be Gintama as I have thought. lol I laughed so hard with this first episode, I can't wait to watch more of this. |
| Funny going to stick till the end don't care about the animation just has to get used to it |
 |
| Lots of Boruto lol. That Gintama doujinshi though. The fujoshi from Sweden also wanted Young Black Jack...I just... it's seinen but I do feel like it has more a fujoshi appeal due to the art style. That other girl who couldn't believe she found Ogeretsu Tanaka's books. I don't read much BL, especially explicit stuff, but I definitely know that mangaka because of friends lol. Also those fujoshi at the end are hardcore, they don't want fluff but are all over bara o_O This was definitely an enjoyable episode since I recognized a lot of references. Came here for Saito Soma, staying for him and the comedy. |
| Not a bad start. It had its funny moment. |
 |
| It was fine and since its a short series i might stick around for now. |
| I already wanted to watch this when I saw the cover, and I didn't get disappointed. The comedy is very well done and I love that art style. Something about this show is so charming. |
| Is this autobiographical? I wonder if the author Honda is also a skeleton. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| It was good. A bit slower than I thought it would be based on the PV. I saw Pixiv added Honda-san stickers to their comment section recently. |
 |
| I died with the Ogeretsu Tanaka part lmao |
| So, first episode making fun with fujoshis, eh? Well, I already can appriciate this. I originally planned to binge watch this in one go when it finished airing since it's a series less than 20 minutes, but here we are... ¯\_(γ)_/¯ |

| Oh my, a mention of Gengoroh-sama in anime. |
phantomfandom said: please tell me the name The gintama tentacle yaoi doujinshi is actually the real thing, and the octopus (or tentacle monster, whatever) lay the baby inside gintoki in which he give birth to it later. |
 |
| wow! This was unexpectedly hilarious/funny! 5/5. |
