Wow. That was weird, original and funny. Panty & Stocking type of humor. Definitely for me. May be one of the best of season.
I'm looking forward for next episodes.

Stop with the "so bad it's good". It's not a nanar if it's done on purpose.
If it succeeds in what it's trying to do, it's good, period.

So far I really liked it, but we'll have to see how it ends up.

Well what the hell was that? At first I thought I'd missed an episode. Its beyond weird and not in a good way. Apart from a decent soundtrack It made absolutely no sense and the animation was pretty poor as well.

I don't have the time or patience to put up with more episodes of this rubbish.

It feels like they're satirizing the trend of fanservice anime by making it the protagonist's goal to avoid seeing panties like they're a video game hazard. As he gets more abilities he'll have to be more creative in how he avoids destroying the earth etc. I'm excited, that's for sure.


You're really giving this anime way too much credit.

Certainly gets points for originality. Otherwise this is kind of bad. It thinks it's being clever with it's panty humor when it's really not. It's the same unfunny punchline over and over (hence the title?). Really though, how many "oh noes panties SPLOOSH" and "KA-BOOM" jokes will this have
The porn watching cat made me smile though

That was an interesting start.
I liked the opening and in general music.
The scene with the cat's laptop and the site was funny xD
I enjoyed it. Character were nice and cute. I wonder how many times the world will be destroyed in this anime.

It's kinda dumb but I sense a possible "cult classic" out of this.

The cat + cat porn makes this worth watching IMO.

Brostep, power up through panties and cat porn. Man this will be a blast. Let's hope its more action oriented, reminded me of Rolling Girls somewhat but that had less action that I wanted.

So if a show nowadays it's fun and entertaining it's automatically a "so bad it's good"?

This was just awkward to watch, absolutely awful directing. Probably done on purpose but still, its jarring, awkward transitions in soundtrack, mood and everything. Its like when somebody tells a joke and when they are supposed to tell the punchline they wait an awkwardly long amount of time and it just feels weird. Its like that but at every step of the show.

Its a random mess really. I couldnt really enjoy it save a few jokes, but I guess I will keep watching for 1 or 2 more episodes to see if it really is done on purpose and they plan to take it somewhere or if its going to be like this the whole duration.

Probably be the dark horse of the season. The ending is the best I have seen this year.

The plot is actually easy to follow. The set up may be stupid but it was well executed. Apparently, anime fans this days have X-Ray vision when criticising an anime...or just turning blind.

Sure sex sells... But wouldn't it be better if it is part of the plot instead of just fanservice?

I would love to have an action packed over the top show that didn't insult the viewer with it's terrible trashy fan service and hand holding plot descriptions. Did you really need to tell us how and why he faints when he sees so much pantus? It's basically saying, "we know you're dumb, so let us break it down for you."

That's it, I blame Space Dandy for this. First Rolling Girl and then this. I don't know why but isn't anime a communications medium or art form that intends to speak to an or a group of audience, not just a joy for the animators? Not to mention Sekai Seifuku and Kyousou Giga earlier. If the show actually takes a few minutes to let the ridiculous premise to set in and not just in constant sugar rush the whole time with all those random events and overstuffed with information, wait, I'm asking too much.

Myamori-sama isn't happy with the attitude of the staffs.

In Uchikoshi we trust! Too early to start any real speculation, but the most concrete that can be gathered is the following:

The world ends on Dec 31, with the current date being Dec 21. This means something happens between these ten days. I assume that rather than being the direct cause for the end of the world, Yuuta is merely unconscious and not able to prevent something.

Also, Mikatan could possibly be a Q member. However, that'd be a bit boring as Uchikoshi pulled a similar trick in one of his previous games.

I could get behind shows being more like Space Dandy and Kyousogiga (you know zany AND good), or heck even FLCL

Is this an unwritten rule or something? Not every series has to have some sort of deep message for it's viewers and I for one, generally have a lot of fun watching something if I can see the passion and love that the animators and staff have for series, unless it crosses a line of some sort, which it does here for me.

I wouldn't put Punchline on the same level as Rolling Girls (or Zvezda for that matter). I can at least see what they're trying to accomplish with this one and it's not on the same level of obnoxiously inward-looking.

Yeah, those are my thoughts too. It's clearly self-aware which makes it obviously trying to be a satire or parody but I just hope they don't do the same jokes over and over again. "Oh he saw panties and now the earth exploded".

It needs to do more than that to be a good parody, otherwise it's just going to get repetitive fast. The art direction is superb but I hope that isn't the only thing praiseworthy about it. The cat porn part was pretty funny though so maybe they'll spice things up with other comedy as well? I dunno, have to wait and see.

It's not really as simple as "he saw panties and earth explodes" to be fair. When he first fainted, there was this weird flash-forward through events yet to be seen like he time-jumped into the future or something. So the Earth gets destroyed in the future and if he gets aroused, he witnesses said destruction? Ah, the show isn't worth digging that deep into its plot as of yet.

And yeah, I'm with you on the comedy. If they put in more cool setpieces like in the first few minutes (I legitimately liked that scene), I can look past that. But if they keep relying on the panty jokes, it'll just be another Nagasarete Airantou.
