| Bread is murder. |
| It seems like this anime is going to be about the jacked up shits that happens in our world. |
| Ummmmm.... LOL? 5/5 just because it was a lot better than I thought it would be. |
| Ok, you've earned yourself another couple of episodes of watching, but only because loaf-san sacrificed himself at the end. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
jimjimex said: Within 23 minutes, this AMAZING show actually made fun of our very current system of humanity: 1. The separation of human from the true source of their food: pretty ladies, including the main character, had ZERO idea on how live chicken turn into chicken-on-a-plate. I personally have met countless people who doesn't even know how to gut a fish, and find it 'disgusting' to do even the simplest food preparation. 2. Pretty chicken-eating girls refuse the idea of killing a chicken. Oh I'm so morally high. Haven't you met in real life those who switch around "I'm going vegan" and "I'm going veggie" and "I eat meat now" within a few months, just because it is hip / politically correct. 3. The problem with the so called 'democratic' meeting, in which men spend HOURS debating just for the sake of debating. This happens a LOT in the Japanese Parliament.... Oh wait, it happens in our US Congress too, I guess? =P 4. The MAIN character displayed her DARK SIDE during and after the Chase-the-chicken incident. The main character ain't exempt from the weakness of mankind. To cover up her mistake, she LIED in plain sight about receiving UNCC messages. In her OWN words: Hiding the Truth, Manipulative information, Intimidation. 5. The receptionist in the factory had NO idea what he's talking about, and has NO SHAME at all to admit his failure to honor his duty. "I get money, I don't care, it just my job". I am SURE you've met someone like that in your society. 6. The camera picture sound effect. Do you know WHY we have sound effects when cell phones take pictures? It is to prevent people from taking upskirt pictures in crowded subways. High tech, low moral. VERY human. 7. Have you been to the Hershey Chocolate Factory in PA and go to their tour? IT IS CREEPY. 8. The artificially synthesized carrot bread. It is aimed at children who don't like carrots. It's like our "Diet Coke", people are so demanding and addicted to get the taste they want, but don't even want ANY compromise. They want it SO BAD they are willing to ingest artificial crap and call it food / drink. ALL THESE in 23 MINUTES. THIS SHOW IS A MASTERPIECE Excellent post, dude. You definitely caught a few things I did not, but this is exactly why this show rocks. |

| My first comment about the series is "too much narration". It took almost 3/4 of the episode. I can't blame anyone since the series is adapted from a light novel but I think they could have done better. The narration also made it kinda boring BUT they did a good job on making it comedic using the weirdness of the story. The voice acting is good, I actually loved how the main character reacts on various stuff. The character design and animation is good as well, it fits the story and balances the comedic fantasy feel. I'll look forward to the next episodes but for the first episode, I'll only give a 3 out of 5. :) |

Some factory tours are DESIGNED to be CREEPY so that you REMEMBER it. You can't forget that image of bloody exploding bread now, can you? LOL I highly recommend you going to the Hershey Chocolate Factory and their tour. Beside the out-of-this-world sound and sight, constantly blasting music, and creepy automated mascots, the creepiest thing is that, by the end of the tour when your little cart roll into their shop, you realized that the tour was SO FREAKING STREAMLINED that YOU, YOU in the tour cart were actually the item on a rolling assembly line. Unless you're like me and get lost and end up not being with the group for a bit xD But, yeah, it's nice for someone to lay out a few of the things that went on in this show. |
| Terrible show, but its funny and wtf did I really just watch honestly I can't say rather I'm going to complete this series or not. Talking and bleeding bread......... REALLY?!!! |
 |
| Interesting to say the least, will keep watching to see just how crazy this gets. |
| this was too epic cute art, with a cute character, with a very lovable personality (imo) i don't know. this episode didn't really make me rofl, buuuut. it did make me laugh out loud. a lot. every character was just pure awesomeness. and the slightly dark comedy. that was the icing. it's sold. i'm watching the whole thing. specially since the op is <3 |

| It has been a long time since I have seen an anime as surreal as Mawaru Penguindrum. And the only one named in this episode is the compass fairy. Ahahaha. The surreal-ness of this show got me hooked! Ahahaha. The ED so reminded me of Azumanga Daioh, been a long time since I have heard her. |

| O-o Woah. That was...amazing. Finally something different to watch. I like this. If they keep up with this style of humor, I might give it a 10. Definitely keep watching. |
| I knew this was going to be the best thing this season, hell this is the only thing I've watched of the new season so far, and now I know for sure it is! A very welcome break from the generic highschool anime. |
Neane1993 said: It's filled with great dark humor, and has a LOT of potential. Also, was anyone else kind of reminded of Azazel-san? It has that same sort of merciless going for it, IMO - it's just covered up with glitter rather than **** jokes. This show is a gem; we don't get nearly enough black humor from glorious nippon. And That ED is amazing (The vocals kind of remind me of Raspberry Heaven. EDIT: my 5 seconds on google leads me to believe they both have the same singer.) So far this feels like almost like a comedy equivalent of Kino no Tabi ( This show's actually pretty deep and there's a lot you can miss if you underestimate it.). I like it. Also, I love the Main Character (I'm really enjoying the MC's VA. The way she said "Why is the bread bleeding?" was especially humorous.). I could sit and watch a whole episode of her just sitting at a desk with the fairies, her playing with her hair while she talks about her day-to-day life in that world. Glad that someone else thought it was similar to Kino no Tabi :D And yes, the VA is awesome! Such a pleasure to listen to, I also like the voice of the grandpa. All of the references are great, has potential to actually be my favorite for this season xD |
| Azuman ED man you know somethings goin down with this show. |
[right] |
| I will give it a chance about 3 episodes as Fractale for the first time didn't catch my attention as well. |

| good so far~ also, nice ed |
| i dunno i found this pretty strange and awesome if you go in with the right expectations, i knew from all the comments the mediator were making that despite it's fluffy blight art that it had a darker side to it lol like with the end with Mr.loaf i'm on board to see were this goes plus it has nano.RIPE for it's op :P! |

wenchance said: good job noticing all that man on top of already enjoying it this makes it even better haha i only caught on to a few things like the meeting and how the guy had no clue what he was doing and letting the machines do the work.Post-Josh said: jimjimex said: Within 23 minutes, this AMAZING show actually made fun of our very current system of humanity: 1.

You definitely caught a few things I did not, but this is exactly why this show rocks. Agreed. I got the same references and it's great to see some others did to. This brings the story line to a whole new level in my opinion. Otherwise than that, great animation and art. Definitely going to keep watching this series. The series is for sure unique to any other series that I watched before, and the social references actually made me laugh. |

| It had this feeling of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - ok minus being as briliant as that series with end of humanity, someone who will take it's place, culture of waste turning into more natural one people not knowing what is happening and than it mixes it with all that bizare stuff of bread, chicken and whatnot it has potential and I hope only it won't go into some "ecologic" propaganda - that would be awfull |
| Dropped |
| I found this show strangely amusing. Those fairies stare right into your soul. That smile... also RIP carrot juice bread. Although you were only alive for 2 minutes, you already became my favorite character |
 |
| Can someone make the GIF for the Bread? I want to try and use it. XDD |
 |
| Awful, will probably drop after episode 3 which is my standard. |
 |
| I like it. kinda weird but it was really fun. |
 Holy shit nigga |
[center] |
| Weird off-beat pacing with even weirder story elements. Only watching it further for now to see if this will veer into the direction of crazy goodness or utterly horrible chaos. |
| Ara ara. |
| This is funny thought |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| LOL? O_O the bread! |
| It's weird and that's why I'm going to watch it, I like that kind of anime. The female lead is great, she is kind but also has a dark side, loved her face when the bread started to bleed. |
 Never forget 2012/07/02 Sticking to this 'cause of the :D creepy fairies |
| Excellent. This is how you pick the viewers interest. Nice socail critisicm throughout the ep, hope the series maintains its quality! |
 |
| Fairies is the best ;D Had "WTF!?" moments ;D I will stick with this for now ;D |
| Love it... yes it's weird but I prefer watching weird one rather than the generic one.... the opening is related to the anime!!!..."real world" Haters gonna hate... |
| After reading info from other forum, I realize that the Anime actually start from volume4. I heard people said that the order will go by 4 > 6 > 5 (no idea why they do that).....It has been half a year ago since I read this LN, and I put on hold at vol3 only, that is why I don't understand wtf going on in this episode lol If I am not mistaken, her hair is cut because she done something bad during the old city exploration expedition.Hopefully they will show that arc, because I think its very interesting arc for me.The arc actually explain a small section of why these "fairy" exist and It really solve alot of question mark in my head. When I watch the Youtube, I am surprise many people said plucking feather and cutting the chicken's throat are considering an act of anime cruelty ..I guess some people think that Chicken are born in supermarket or Mcdonald lol. The fairy's main food source are candy(sweets) . They can create all type of human cuisine but they just can't create candy. They luv candy really much. Whenever when the situation get "interesting", this tiny fairy will actually reproduce itself. Great things will happen if there are a lot of fairy group together but this fairy normally prefer solitary life. In this episode, we learn that this fairy really like the MC (maybe because she is the candy provider for this fairy lol ). The fairy clear the guilt of MC , by creating an abomination chicken.Unfortunately, the chicken run away ...The fairy also create all type of food product to solve the "food problem" for the citizen, so that MC will focus on feeding candy to the fairy again. Its really amazing , that this fairly actually create "fish" without hunting/killing those fish. It seems like they actually replicate the taste and the form of a real fish, truly amazing. |

I'm so suprised… That was so cool ! I didn't expect something like that, yay o/. Those "fairies" <3. |
  |
| WHAT THE FUCK? DID I JUST WATCH? Bread that bleeds and other random shit i will stick around for a bit. |

Damm it! I hate when they do that! Overall, some parts remind me Zetsubou Sensei and the main char is "Kobato on Pink" for me... though she actually has the opposite personality. Gonna keep watching mainly for the girl... but a big chunk of the interest comes from the fact that there is no fanservice or moeblob until now. |
| This Loaf sold it for me. I have no idea what or who you need to put on some serious crack to get series like that but it's interesting kind of... crazy is an understatement. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

I really was missing anime that criticize society like that(and even with dark humor) since Penguindrum, this anime will make my life better. All other new shows seem uninteresting to me now lol |
