| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wait, it's that time of the year in this series already? Mm, Christmas...  A bit of a more serious episode I guess. Something from it reminds me of Death Gun because of the character design. And hoping for that guy to not ruing Christmas, they try to go after him. But the way the hero design is portrayed in this episode was just hilarious. A new hero is in town although I'm not even a bit impressed lol. |

| That's more like Jin-Roh parody right ? [spoiler]   Also, Akira reference and Hotline Miami reference in previous episodes. |

As expected from Uchikoshi, one of girls is an android |
 |
| The battle was awesome. Dat turtle. 5/5 |
| Can we even call that progress? |

| I enjoyed all the misunderstanding in this episode xD lmao Well we got another weird super hero and little action.... |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| Very entertaining episode, the action of this anime is sick. |
| Jin-roh parody lel |
| Didn't expect to see that the tech girl is an andorid O_O That's pretty interesting lol...Loved her backstory...Dat bear is really kawaii btw Action scenes were pretty awesome too and I loved the displays from everyone that fought against each other as well as to see that our favorite ghost leveled up again. The comedy was pretty good as well, the scene when they thought that the android was pregnant and was talking about periods had me dying and WTF the MC got a nosebleed from a child...What type of pedophilia is this xDDD |
| Mika trying to hide her identity, using the door to mimic both voices. That was some random guy, getting bitten being a good wake up call xD Meika being an android and that Kenji hero person. Plenty of fun moments, the cat knows Yuuta better than himself! A good follow through would be the cat saying "I understand" with a straight face. |
 |
| Mika's attempt at hiding her identity as Strange Juice was pretty dull. I thought Ito would figure it out immediately. That superhero guy got owned, but did payback twofold though. Wonder what powered him up inside the house. O.o Meika being an android was a bit surprising. Those misunderstandings over the wall were hilarious though! Average episode. Judging from Yuuta's nosebleed at the end, everything will be reverted, I'm assuming? |
 |
| so... what's supposed to be happening in this show again? |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Well both of the girls' secrets are out. Interesting that one of the girls is a robot. Lol that ending. He still got a nosebleed. |
 |
| I'll say this for Punchline: it's not boring so far. The action is always good and whilst the comedy and characters aren't great, they're amusing enough. I also get that it's supposed to be some kind of Flamenco-esque hero story mixed with video game tributes and whatnot. But in terms of executing said story, it still needs some work. Like why did you combine the two in the first place, considering they're not really related to each other. |
| I Write About Anime (and other stuff) At Standing On My Neck |
| The turtle knows what to attack. |
| episode was meh. 3.5/5. like how they keep all the action and gritty stuff so random and makes you lol a lil every ep. Mikas attempt was adorable kinda childish but i dont mind all that kid stuff i suppose, anime is rather soothing on that part and the action is iight. meh i like how ghost boy is improving every ep but seriously that last part had me loling like wowowowowowow ahaha. |
 |
| Christmas came early as we received this episode. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| lol the turtle power boost tho |
| M-Meika's a robot?! I'm not so sure how I feel about this sudden reveal. As for the episode, well it's pretty much the same problem I've had with the rest of the series so far; the comedy is shit. There was more action this episode though and the actual plot seems to be going in a decent direction so it's definitely worth sticking around for. I'll be hoping that once the show gets more serious with each episode, we'll see less of the comedy, but the slice of life scenes are fine. Also that engrish was glorious. |
| Guess he got to see proof of his inner loliconness by blowing up the Earth |
  |
| Uchikoshi does it again. The bear has CuRe Virus.  One of the two girls in episode 1 must probably be Yuta's sister. Not sure what the Mikatan look a like is there. They are also wearing the some clothes, were they in an experiment facility in the past?  Also, Zero makes a guest appearance.  |

| Engrish rating: B+ lmao they thought Meika was pregnant. |
~my list
| I could get used to the "Doraemon" parody every week. |
 |
| I'm so confused.....so the reason why the world ends if Yuuta sees underwear is because he actually speeds up time to the day when the meteor is supposedly gonna hit the earth? I don't get it... I like this show so far but the story is pretty confusing.... |
Jorjz said: Yuta and Mikatan must be related somehow (blood, or that facility thing), since they have the same kind of power (physical stregth, both eye and hair change color to orange, lasts for a short period of time).One of the two girls in episode 1 must probably be Yuta's sister. Not sure what the Mikatan look a like is there. They are also wearing the some clothes, were they in an experiment facility in the past? And another person might be that white-haired guy. Their hair shape is very similar + he knows Yuuta (he said something to him. "Okaerinasai, Yuuta" matches lip movements, hehe). blairthewitchcat said: No, he just loses consciousness and NOT saves the earth.I'm so confused.....so the reason why the world ends if Yuuta sees underwear is because he actually speeds up time to the day when the meteor is supposedly gonna hit the earth?

hahaaa ya it's sooo funnhy tru comedy hahaaaa the randomness and originalittyyy hahhhsaaaa amiright?/ i'm really trying guys. i want to find this shit funny. maybe next ep. |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| ew yuuta you fuckin lolicon |
| wow gay |
wheresthehandle said: so... what's supposed to be happening in this show again? I was just about to ask this. This shit doesn't make any sense. 1/5 |
vivan said: And another person might be that white-haired guy. Their hair shape is very similar + he knows Yuuta (he said something to him. "Okaerinasai, Yuuta" matches lip movements, hehe). Makes sense. I don't think he has white hair, though. He looks more like a blonde with nice fashion sense. Seems like he's a very strong high level since he can possess a full grown man like the driver and a big bus. But aren't ghosts the only ones who can do these things? He looks healthy to me. Maybe he's Tsubouchi, the dead guy and leader of Qmei?  When you realize that Meika actually subscribed to a magazine about handstands. Which was foreshadowed in the last episode. Funny.  |
Jorjz said: I don't think this is a possession, because driver acts rather... mindlessly? Plus his eyes are orange, which hint that it's related to "power" (and that possession/spirit thing is different).Seems like he's a very strong high level since he can possess a full grown man like the driver and a big bus. But aren't ghosts the only ones who can do these things? He looks healthy to me. Maybe he's Tsubouchi, the dead guy and leader of Qmei? So I would make a guess that "control" (like Geass) is the power of that guy. Also eyes of possessed Yuuta are not orange (well, those couple of pixels from 1080p video).  |
vivan said: Also eyes of possessed Yuuta are not orange (well, those couple of pixels from 1080p video). My theory is that possessed Yuta, is a Yuta from another timeline/from the future. The OP foreshadows this. That's why he has the exact same powers as ghost Yuta.   |
| Something actually happened but I still have no idea whats going on. |
kyuudere said: That's more like Jin-Roh parody right ? [spoiler] Also, Akira reference and Hotline Miami reference in previous episodes. It was a refrence to zero from 999 which is VN/game by the same authir |
| Interesting episode this time. Looking forward to what happens next. |
 |
| Surprisingly, I actually liked this episode. The comedy worked here. |

Clearly not for you, maybe rewatch some edgy shit. aikaflip said: wheresthehandle said: so... what's supposed to be happening in this show again? I was just about to ask this. This shit doesn't make any sense. 1/5 Jesus Christ, what's is not to get? We got backstories of two main characters, another sets of mysteries and foreshadowing. Does animewatchers these days need to have everything on a silver plate from start? |
|
| Well, there was a little bit of plot in that one. It seems unclear what type of show this wants to be. Is it supernatural? super-hero? comedy? slice-of-life? It really comes off as a jumbled mess. It's also weird in that the main character doesn't really interact with the rest of the cast. It's almost as if we're watching someone watch tv. While we're learning stuff about the girls we know almost nothing about Yuuta himself. I have a hard time caring about anyone - except the bear; he's cute. |

stephen5000 said: It's also weird in that the main character doesn't really interact with the rest of the cast. It was shown in some short flash backs but he's a ghost right now so he can't. Its safe to say that the physical Yuta does interact with the other residents in the Korai House, offscreen. Physical Yuta is this Captain Falcon, so he isn't actually a bad guy? Maybe?  stephen5000 said: It's almost as if we're watching someone watch tv. I think MC is some sort of representation of the viewer's perspective. stephen5000 said: While we're learning stuff about the girls we know almost nothing about Yuuta himself. That's the biggest mystery. Who is Yuta? Who is the person inside his body? Why does a otaku pandering fanservice pantsu bait show have a plot? Is this really the fall of notaminA? Is MAPPA doomed? Why indeed. |
| That'g gonna destroy the Earth He's gonna save it |
| Looks like the scenario writer is at it again. OP change when. |
| This anime has lost it's novelty very fast and no amount of bombastic animation and kooky hijinks can change that. I hope it does something soon, things are happening but with nothing establish I'm left wondering why I should even care. |
 |
| Minor back story with Meika, She's a Robot...(who is trying her best to do handstands?) Tribute to 999/Zero Escape...ugh i-i can't accept seeing one of my favorite games being a tribute here as something that redeems this anime. (though i suppose it helps slightly) Side note/just something that slightly bugged me: Is the cat the Doc? I don't know they (looks wise) reminded me of each other (i know that sounds weird, considering ones a bloody (ghost) cat the other a human) Idk i couldn't shake that feeling, like as soon as they introduced him. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Well, that was amusing ^^ Im still not sure about my thoughts on the story, but it's entertaining and most of the characters are likeable So im enjoying this so far :) |
| I'm think that Miyazawa Kenji guy is inside Yuuta's body He powered up by going into the house and, I'm going to assume, looking at panties or getting excited at some other erotic stuff Anyway, lolis are dangerous |

I don't know they (looks wise) reminded me of each other (i know that sounds weird, considering ones a bloody (ghost) cat the other a human) Idk i couldn't shake that feeling, like as soon as they introduced him. Now that you mention it, the cat does act like some old man. And he can tell the future too? Like how the granpda said that Meika will meet Strange Juice?   But Meika's grandpa looks more like an older Yuta  Who knows. JoksPacifist said: OP change when. I think it fits the shows very random feel. I may be overthinking but it's plastered with symbolisms.  It might seems like anime logic at first but cinnamon were used on dead egyptians pharaohs so that the bodies won't decay when they go through the afterlife. I don't think cinnamon is a random thing they decided because it has something to do with spirtual things?. I know its a stretch |
| Why don't we see more interaction with the physical Yuuta? Do the girls just ignore his presence. Why isn't he included in any activities? Also, it's obvious he is Kenji. And what's up with Yuuta's sudden realization at the beginning. If this didn't have a "save the world" plot and was just random SoL hi-jinks and they keep the panty shots down. It may be somewhat enjoyable. But it's meh. Mikatan is the only reason I'm still watching. |
