| this shows mad dumb but i'd be lying if i said i didn't find it somewhat entertaining,main part that stands out the most is the visuals like the use of the Soviet style propaganda during the Op and the Ed had a pretty cool style too. but whats up with his rage Nose bleed pose seriously thought this was being done by Trigger lol very similar pose to Ryuuko's transform. |
 |
| Really simple, silly, fun, and nice to look at is fine with me. I really liked the character designs and their outfits along with the soundtrack. I didn't really have any expectations but the dumb fanservice being tied with an over the top reaction like ending the world kind of reminded me of late 90's and early 2000's anime which I enjoyed. If it can remain consistently animated and the girls remain as adorable as they are I'll probably end up finishing this one. |
Flawfinder said: 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. Yeah, I liked the opening scene too. It was very fast, very crazy and very fun. It let it's insanity and energy carry the scene and had surprisingly great fight choreography, as expected of Mappa. Oddly enough, the rest of the episode was the somewhat dull part. Sure it had an okay joke(Cat porn and the magical girl "transformation" lol) here or there and some of the art choices were nice to look at which made it an easy watch but compared to the opening scene, it wasn't as fun. We'll have to wait and see what route it takes I guess. Mappa isn't exactly known for their plots so it would be really weird if out of all their shows... the stupid, ridiculous panty comedy is the one that actually has a clever plot... o_O I dunno... skeptical... but It's possible I guess. Not worth thinking about like you said though, will wait for the next episode. |

But of course. noitaminA is on an almost amusing roll of terrible shows. All that's left to decide is when they can redeem themselves. Of what YOU think are terrible shows* I (and a lot of people) enjoyed most of them (i haven't watched your lie in april tho) |

gedata said: I could get behind shows being more like Space Dandy and Kyousogiga (you know zany AND good), or heck even FLCL Space Dandy and FLCL are both good or even great because they have real talents and a sufficient budget to let the animator and story-teller to do whatever they want. Many other similar shows just have animators. Koybz said: AaaaaaKun said: 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? 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. Of course anime doesn't necessary to have a deep message, but even if it tries to be "fun to watch" it has to consider the different methods to communicate with the targeted audience, or drawing them in, not just throwing everything at you, sure it's well-made but I don't see why I should care if a show starts with a random bus hijacking with no character introduction and frantic pacing. Flawfinder said: AaaaaaKun said: That's it, I blame Space Dandy for this. First Rolling Girl and then this. 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. I certainly hope this show will get more viewer-friendly later on. Maybe we'll have to wait till episode 6. |

Feaor said: Did people just not read the synopsis? I knew this was going to be dumb over the top fun and it really delivered. The synopsis on MAL isn't really helpful, to be fair. |
| Jesus, just no. |
| This anime is a keeper Had a ton of fun watching the first episode An anime with lots of panties is always great ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| WHAT WAS THIS AND WHY DID I LIKE IT |
| Dunno wtf I just watched, but I do know I'm going to keep watching it. Can't wait to see how the 'can't see pantsu' dynamic evolves, hoping for a lot of creative parodies. Watch, people are gonna be analyzing this shit like it's YuriKuma. MAPPA makes it happen. |
 |
| I am conflicted. On one hand, this anime seems lame.. But on the other hand that cat is voiced by the same actress as Mashiro-tan. Hmm.. |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Entertaining and colourful series so far. Decent OP and comedy. Dem nose bleeds. I have no idea what's going on though. bastek66 said:  best scene in this ep. |
| Goddamnit that soundtrack. 10/10 would watch next episode. |
hhitagi said: Entertaining and colourful series so far. Decent OP and comedy. Dem nose bleeds. I have no idea what's going on though. bastek66 said: best scene in this ep. Agreed. I'm glad I picked up this series just for the cat. |
| Strange and funny.. |
| Damn! That is some interesting concept this anime has! Ecchi is a bit on your face but its nothing bad :) |
| Man, the ecchi was incredibly cringe-worthy in this. I wouldn't mind if it was actually funny, but not a single thing in this episode made me laugh. I've got a very bad feeling about this series now. |
 |
| I'm not sure what's going on. What is this show? lol. The best part was definitely the "actual footage" gag. |
| This is so bad. No entertainment value. Which is a problem for a "comedy" People saying interesting concept?! Wtf is interesting about this? Bs explanations periodically as to why some random character can nuke the world but bc he is a spirit he can go back in time to try and not screw up for his own good. Please. This was just bad. Girls are cute and the ecchi is decent (only bc I like pantsu) but everything else is bad. The soundtrack is abysmal as well. Give this another week or so to see what's going on. |
| I thought the ED was cute. Hm as for the actual episode itself, my impression is the same as when I saw the PV. Just wanted to give this a try anyways because I like MAPPA. Didn't even know this was on the noitaminA block. Will give it a few more episodes. |
| First thing i noticed: YES a dubstep OST The artwork isnt top-notch, but the animation looks clean and i like the colors. "Strange Juice?" "Pumpkin Chair?" "If you dont want to exterminate humanity, you arent allowed to every have a boner again, because your boners cause asteroids." k thanks for the explanation getting superpowers by looking at girls panties is the stupidest thing ive seen since Kill la Kill. he already destroyed earth 2x in first episode. so it seems the whole series will be him trying not to get boners, and when he fails he has to go back in time. and will stay as a ghost the entire series. yep this is gay af. the first half of the episode was excellent, so hopefully what I said above^ is not permanent... or else this is doomed; and i will only be watching for the comedy. |

| First episode was entertaining enough for me to continue to the second episode at least. Vindstot said: Crunchyroll said: If he sees underwear, humanity will be destroyed!? So, no matter how many times Yuuta mess up, he'll always be granted the chance to go back to past and fix it? If that's the case, even the "so bad, it's good" trope won't be able to save the show. Too convenient for the already tacky plot and some tasteless fanservice. I'm assuming once Yuuta retrieves his body this exception will be removed as his powers cause the asteroid I believe anyway. Besides, a serious plot doesn't seem to suit this kind of show. |
| So weird but so good |
bastek66 said: Dangerously close to kitty porn.I didn't read anything about this before I started watching. So he's gonna be just a ghost the whole time, avoiding looking at panties? Well at least the girls are cute in this. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| That. Was. Fucking. Incredible. World-ending nosebleeds. Comedy. Panties. Over the top fighting. Playing off of clichés. Even some cat porn. Holy shit spring has a lot of talking cats. PL, Re-Kan, and Mikagura so far. Art was great. OP/ED were great. OST was great too, sounds like the entire thing was done by Teddyloid. INB4 little bitches whine about the dubstep. INB4 little bitches whine about the fanservice. "so bad it's good"...how about everyone stops using a stupid fucking phrase like that and just say "it's good". It's like the roundabout way of trying to sound like an elitist without purely hating on the show. |
| Eh, it was Ok, i guess. |

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. Whoa whoa whoa, stop right there crimina scum! Dont you go comparing this shite with Space Dandy or Kyousogiga. Hell even compared to Rollig Girls or Sekai Seifuk first ep, Punchline is way worse. |

No, you stop right there. Did you seriously just say that Rolling Girls was better than Punchline? What fucking drugs are you on? RG was easily one of the worst shows I've watched in years. Almost as bad as Glasslip. |
| It looks fun and entertaining at the very least haha This looks like it'll be enjoyable solely because of how weird it is. It's a little too ecchi for my tastes but I'm gonna stick with it regardless |
| Da fuck did I just watch? Who the hell got so turned on by panties that he explode? I haven't seen such a ridiculous ecchi for quite some time, it's almost like parody. The mahou shoujo transformation scene was funny but other than that there's not much going here except a few panty shots. Hopefully they don't keep using this gag forever since it gets old really fast.. (actually it has already gotten old). |
 |
| Lol at the cat porn! This anime really get people hyped up. That nosebleed... |
| godlike |
| Fun first episode. |
 |
| Looks like another season of Amamiya Sora, and this time she's voicing a really fun character 8D This show is fucking epic, and I have no clue what the hell is going on lol. the names sound so retarded too haha Some well drawn panties mhm. LOL at the cat watching cat porn |
 |
| Was really looking forward to this after reading the synopsis a few weeks back, so far it's been all over the place, not sure where it's heading, will give it one more ep at least. |

| That designed, that animation... IS THE WORST THIS SEASON. The only thing that will try to save this series is the ECCHI. 5/10 |
#CHEXIT |
| I was expecting it to be more action themed. Well, cat porn? That's a first. |
| I found it a bit entertaining, but I'm not sure how I feel about this show yet. I really liked the ending though. |
 |
| Seems alright. The first scene had OST something similar to Saints Row series. XD Those pantyshots and noosebleeds, ridiculous yet so good. That catporn scene lmao, totally died at that part. Ehh so the world will end if he gets sexually excited everytime he sees a girl's panties. Outrageous. That would be calling apocalypse again and again. XD ED song is nice. Will be following this from now. |
 |
| Punch Line = panchi rain = panty line?? XD Great action choreography! Forgot to mention funny XD And just looks beautiful with the most stylish colourful underwear I've ever seen in my life! Feaor said: Fanservice is any service to fans, which can include references to other works, stuff viewers wanna see like long action scenes, scenery/food porn, ecchi, very detailed weapons and vehicles, etc.Also is it even fanservice if its relevant to the plot? |

| so is he gonna keep destroying the world and keep time travelling back on time to hopefully not fuck up everything? well i like the animation at least |
