| Wow was not expecting that cgi, looked... ok... just was not expecting it to do that after the first two episodes |

| Well, I personally didn't bothered by the CG. In fact, the song they sung there was very good, that I focused to hear that rather than watch the performance (now I really want franchouchou CD song). I hope next they will do parody for another genre. We have death metal, we have rap, we have CG idol, what's next ? |
| pretty sure the cgi was a parody lol |

| Yeah I just laugh at people ripping the CGI...ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD!! Fucking Tae solidifies her case as the best girl in his anime. HOW THE FUCK SHE PREFORMING SO PERFECTLY?!?! lol Qio420 said: why did mc get slapped and side char took her line??? WTF dont hurt my zombie waifu bestgirl that song was great tho! franchouchou!!!!!!!!!!!!! An earlier post in here mentioned in Theory it was Yuugiri keeping her older sister persona. Makes sense since this anime is basically a rip on this kind of shit lol. |

| I don't know If it was Just me, but I felt a lot of Love Live Nods And References in this episode(Or atleast of all the Idol anime that came after it). For example: The classic "Choosing the Center/ Leader Scene", A member slapping the Shiet out of the first memeber of the Group, And the CGI Dance Scene. Talking about the CGI it was good but not as good as other forms of CGI that we have seen from Mappa but it was also not needed so its whatever. Next episode will be the "Obligatory Hot Spring Episode" and The Title is Hilarious. Warming dead Saga... Nice Walking dead Pun xd. |
  愛がなければ、見えない。 Without Love, the truth cannot be seen. |
| It would be amazing if they're making fun of idol performances being CGI in most series. If not, then, uh, then this series would become what its parodying. |
 |
| *Gigguk voice* Bad CG!~ Meta humor through the art itself should never come at the cost of giving the viewer eye cancer. It's like sarcasm online - no one can tell if you meant it or not, so you should never do it. I think the scene were Yugiri slaps Sakura around without listening to anytihng she said indicates the team may have intended to parody idol episodes though the form of this episode, but as said above, it's ambiguous. All I can say is, I came here to see deconstruction of idol anime, not to be bait and switched into one, and for the time being I'm willing to accept that the first episode opening's dramatic rejection of idol tropes will be the statement by which to judge the direction of the show. Onsen in a preview is never encouraging, and I've learned to expect the worst from anime, but I'm not sure I want to give in to despair just yet. |
| The CGI's just a parody, this is what I will keep telling myself. |
| Hehe, look at Tae. First she was sitting on the chair, now she's laying on the floor. This girl's had so much dank weed. And I thought she was about to start sniffing on the marker...This girl is gettin' high... Oooh! Nice attention to detail with the mirror! Ahh Kanji giving multiple meanings to words is so awesome. Too bad it is hell to memorize them all... We're Franchouchou now. Well the CGI animation was quite choppy, but the song was good. But what I found most impressive was the animation for Tae in that she moves differently from everyone else. How the heck did they get her to learn the choreography anyway when she's high on squid? Well they got one fan, but sometimes one fan is all they need... That police officer is going to be a running gag, isn't he? Well he's always welcome! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Guess we're taking a break from the idol stuff next week to have the obligatory hot springs episode. Also, just a little off topic, but I just noticed something with Junko... |
 |
| The CGI caught me off guard lmao, i hope it was intentional I thought it was pretty funny. |
 |
| While almost 80% of the comments are hating on the episode, I will write a good review. I actually enjoyed it. It was nice to see the rest of the zombies get a bigger role. Lily is so adorable and that little girl fan was so cute. Awww when she was dancing to them. I think it was still a good episode. I can't wait to watch more. I do wonder if we will get more background on the manager guy. |
| i know it...., i know the CG is not good XD |
 |
| CGI was weird...like they straight up ripped off the CGI used in the opening animation of Senran Kagura Estival Versus. But anyways, the group has a name now which is legit. Though the rap episode is definitely gonna be hard to top for me. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Aaaand dropped. I knew the streak could only last so much. |
| That CG was so awful and cringe that it made my cry. |
| Cute episode, but not nearly as good as the first 2, this was just too much idol, too little zombie. The manager and Tae-chan saved the episode, or at least tried to. |
| I need a GIF of Cutie Lily Magic |
 |
| "The CG is awful" What are these people talking about? The CG has baptized this show as a true and proper idol anime. I gave the 1st episode a 3/10 and the 2nd a 6/10. The 3rd is a solid 10/10 |
 |
| Gonna be honest and say that this episode was a little boring. I get they're parodying Love Live!! but it's a pretty bland idea for an episode. At least Tae made it more entertaining so props to that. |
| Making them zombies feels lke a complete aftethought, it's just an idol show now. A very basic one. Pretty sure Love Live! is less basic than this. And holy shit, I've heard something about the CG being bad, but this was utterly atrocious. They were pretending to be zombies while dancing, and I couldn't tell at first because of how stiff the animation was. Between this and Inuyashiki, MAPPA, honey, you can't do this 3D thing. Leave this to Orange. Leave this to Polygon. Leave this to absolutely anyone else and don't touch it. Dropping it next week unless it improves drastically. |
 |
| PMSL on the 'Gerrilla' live joke. Miyano's a god here One all nighter is more or less enough to put together a simple idol gig. Of course the quality would be low but it can be done. This comes from experience. Too much seriousness for my liking. This kind of phony seriousness is what puts me off most idol anime(and sports anime) Also there is very little chemistry evident between the girls(I can't make up any ships!), well it makes sense that a rag tag group of sensitive girls that met two days ago is not all chummy with one another but it doesn't help with the vibe of the show. Sudden CG was sudden, but I thought it looked ok. Song was rubbish though |
Minar-kyun said: Franchouchou. Nice band name (what does it even mean?). Anyway even though their performance was a disaster, I actually liked it. Dance chronography was pretty awesome. That song was nice too. Glad to see Ai and Junko joining them later. Btw Tae is the best zombie grill. Chouchou is said in french to mean someone who is a person's fav, for example (he is the teacher's favorite person) is translated to (il est le chouchou de la maitresse) But Fran, I'm guessing it's from Frankenstein? |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
| I think they used CG to make fun of other idols anime |
 |
| this one was weaker than the first two eps (there the real highlight were the performances), but I did get some laughs. Sakura in deep thought not noticing Tae spinning that carousel thing (what do you call that?) was freaking hilarious. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| First two episodes were good parody but this episode definitely... wasn't as much of parody as I would have hoped. They didn't utilize the horrid CGI as well as they could have and the ending was legitimately sentimental. The manager is consistently hilarious though and I'm still expecting some major twists that will keep the show great. |
| Well, that CGI was truly atrocious. But since I think it was used for parodic reasons, I won't see it as something bad. But yeah, it was terrible. It was an ok episode but obviously, it wasn't nearly as funny as the previous two, that's for sure. Also, Sakura being slapped for something positive she was about to say was so randomly funny xD |
| So my worries about the drop in quality is true afterall. If they keep the CG like this in the next episode, I'll drop this. 3/5 |
BatWeeb said: They're definitely taking the piss on other idol shows with that CG dance scene and people are just looking past it and complaining that it sucked. Seems like people can't understand parodies nowadays unless it's completely on your face levels of obvious. Glad to see someone has a good head on their shoulders. Took me a second to realize once I was done giggling but yeah the CGI is a clever commentary on the mass production of idol groups in Japan. It's a direct parallel from bad CGI found in Anime to the countless idol groups that come and go in Japan. Manufactured, generic, and in many cases very unappealing. I liked the first two better with it's more comedic tone and genre blending aspects but this one has it's merits as well. |
| Ummm.. not even sure what the issue was with those two, so it seemed forced for the sake of throwing some serious drama into the story. Otherwise, it was pretty average. |
| Well most of the time in idols animes they use the cgi only on stage. So that's why that's not really cringy : it's the stage setup. Here they just became "magic idol bad cgi" in the street that's why it's looking so bad  But not even one joke on the song, while first was metal, and second rap. Here that's just normal idol, so yeah this episode is way less entertaining than the two others, and if zombie is just for the joke (Tae as the comic relief) this show will became less interesting than a serious idol anime since they're not taking the job seriously in this anime And even the song was... uurgh. Their voices isn't perfect, think it will became a real idol show with training after this episode to make it better |
Fayteco said: CGI killed the episode I absolutely agree rsc-pl said: Skipped through whole 3DCG sequence. It was just terrible and painful to watch. I agree as well :p I drop the anime from there. 6/10 |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Good episode, retards already hating on the idol parts as always. |
 |
| I'm not gonna lie I got really tense when Sakura forgot the lyrics and I almost screamed when the other two girls joined the group, and the CGI is really good for once. We finally got to see Koutarou in a more calm, collected and rational way than his normal screaming on the girls. (I'm talking about the scene where he talks to Junko and Ai outside of the training room and later in the van) This show just keeps going on a beautiful rhythm. Also the op is really good. |
