| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was quite a serious episode for the most part, except that ending totally changed the atmosphere. Their silent reaction to that OP song was priceless! |
 |
| Trigger put out a really old shaggy dog story here. |
| That was hilarious omg |
 |
| The funniest film of the series, if a bit short since there was only one joke with three spins. Was every shot of the "historical records" from a film? I couldn't hope to identify each one. Liked the Alan Smithee name-drop. |
| I laughed a lot. |
 |
| Basing history off of movies, games and anime results to this lol |
 |
| Genius episode |
| This one was genius! xD |
 |
| lol i thought it was serious at first but damn anime moe came up and also all the historical records they found was from the movie archives, the zombie apocalypse has a directed by credits in it XD |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
StormSky92 said: Wow. I thought that was going to serious at first, until I saw the "Trophy Unlocked" thing. Then I realized it was just movie and game references. Ikr, starting from the game achievement I just started laughing like crazy. The season 2 or the directed by, I guess none of them understood what that meant. I also enjoyed a lot of the references, this was a funny short. |
| ok that was hilarious Goes to show you that people idiocy have no bounds |
 |
Wolfwoocl said: Ppl here keep saying Trigger, but it's actually scripted and directed by Yoshiura x.x Oh dang how did I miss his name? I just went back to the credits and saw his name credit under original work/script/director. This is so him, except probably also the funniest script he's ever done. This one and Power Plant are definitely my top favorites so far, and both are by Yoshiura Yasuhiro. Thanks for mentioning it! |
| When they brought up the "Z" I thought they were going to reference the book "World War Z". Such a missed opportunity, it'll definitely be better than all other uninventing jokes. Turns out it's made by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, that explained the dry comedy. |

| One of the most interesting shorts, funny and meta at the same time. Also I think I've seen this plot in a book before (a short story likely), can't remember where though. |
 |
| Lol that ending :p pretty fun episode! |
 |
| That ending xD |
 |
| So this is basically "The Island", made into anime? |
 |

 |
| To the future: I apologize for us. ~ Sincerely, The 21st century. |
| Anime is the real world. |
| LOL! Literally rofl. Best moment was the "trophy unlocked" achievement. |
| Ha! Mars Attacks (great movie). It's kinda like "historical documents" in Galaxy Quest. |
  |
| This was great. As expected from my bro Yoshiura. |
| "Michael (Camero)Bay" "Trophy unlocked" "Allen Smithee" Dat ending. Laughed my ass off. |
| Lost my shit at the ending 10/10 |
 |
| this short was hilarious. i love Yasuhiro Yoshiura's work |
| That ending was the best. |
 |
| Everything about this was amazing, the plot gave a great reason to throw together a bunch of different genres. The ending had me in stitches. MOE IS TRUTH |
| Ahahaha, that ending was hilarious. xD Really clever concept here, and well executed. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| That ending was pure gold! |
 |
| This just in: the future is gonna suck. Humans have screwed the pooch again. Also, Michael Camerobay? Was that a shot at Michael Bay? Also, really? War of the Worlds? Mars Attacks? Independence Day? Really? And zombies? Then a moe slice of life? Wait, ohhhh. In the future, our media becomes a record of our history due to the loss of history. That is an interesting thought. In a thousand years, if history of the 20th and 21st century were lost and one random piece of media were unearthed to chronicle the culture and events of the present day, what should that be? Or, what are the chance it would be something accurate? This would actually make for an entertaining satire series, where in the future, you'd have a team tasked with recreating the present day by reenacting a different activity each episode. For example, the team trying to create a zombie strand or reinventing high school comedies, but with a lot of misunderstandings and confusion as to how these things make sense. Huh. |
| Yup, this is Trigger, alright... now I want to see a movie about it. Defo one of my favourites. |
 |
| OH MY GOD that was hilarious. |

 |

| xD Omg they added a Michael Bay film haha! Funniest video yet...I love these series. |
 |
| LMAO at the trophy. LMAO at the Michael Bay mech. LMAO at the loli. That was awesome. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| References in order (let me know if i missed any): -the initial facility resembles something like The Island, but a sealed off underground facility unbeknownst to the world at large wasn't a new concept by that movie, so reference probably older. -black guy is obviously Morgan Freeman. -ww1 (probably a specific video) -ww2 (not sure which battleships) -vietnam (might be a movie) -Mad Max -300 -WW1 again -(dunno when bombers) -AC-130 in 40mm scope (with achievement, meaning it's CoD) -Mad Max again -Michael Bay mech might be specific reference or general, not sure. -giant "ALIEN" word accompanied by an X-Files parody song -NY alien ship is a mix between District 9 and Independence Day -2001 (?) -War of the Worlds -Terminator -Mars Attacks -Jurassic Park -(forget the dissection scene) -combination of Starship Troopers and Alien -black plague -(not sure of hazmat suits scene) -mistaking a map for spread of japanese anime films as plague spread -The Hulk i dunno my zombie movies/games, i can tell it's a mixture of many different ones, only one i can pick out is: -World War Z I'm not sure which VN the last one references, but it seems very familiar. |

Heisenberg I can die happily now. |
 |
| This was the funniest short I've seen in this series xD So many recognizable pop culture references revealed in a creative and unexpected way. The real world is certainly more moe. No one can hide the truth! |
