Idk felt like filler


It was filler. Not in the LN, as the LN readers inform me.

Clearly KyoAni wants to do a trippy anime a la Hyouka where they can fully exploit their animation capabilities. To do this, they even inject filler episodes like this, completely breaking the flow of whatever narrative exists.

Just do a second season of Hyouka. Or take a lowly 4-koma like you did with your magnum opus and commandeer it. Or hire a competent writer to give you raw material for an original anime and work with them, making it clear you want to tell the story via the animation (a good thing, but it also needs a good backbone story to work).

That was a really nice Kurumi episode. Albrecht is an awesome bear and seeing him talk in this fantasy world was great. The OST really shines on this episode alswell. Really enjoyed this one.

I agree with that. The whole episode was just weird... in a weird way. It wasn't even the appealing kind of weird. More like "why am I watching this again?"

Can't help but to come to the comment sect for this anime after watching this week ep and all I read (most of it anyway) is people talking sh*t about this ep. Sigh... should have avoid it in the first place. I guess only people like me that like cute thing would prefer this kind of ep. :(

P/s: was expecting more bear pun tbh. XD

This is wired because this is definitely a predictable and boring episode, but somehow it managed to keep my attention unlike all the previous one and It postpone my decision to drop this show to next week.

Wasn't really interested in the episode for the most part. Cool to see that Kurumi overcame her fears but honestly it was just boring.

Wonder if the rest of the episodes are gonna be episodic like this or if we'll get some random plot, Either way the only thing I'm expecting from this show is more Mai Fanservice :P

The cuteness was very high, but it was a decent,if somewhat weak episode.

The house that the group stayed in was constructed with honey....I was half-heartedly expected Winnie the Pooh to be making an random appearance to be honest. ^_^

Despite that, it's good to see Kurumi getting the better of her fears, which is nice. =D

Now that the whole team are assembled, I'm hoping that the rest of the show will be an improvement compared to the first half.

The whole episode is a blend of cuteness and bears, LOL. History does not seem to want to change the registry, so let's enjoy the story as it is without worries. Excellent drawings, animations are more fluid and flawless, some gags were very nice.

Yeah, It's Indescribable. I don't really know how KyoAni did it, but I can't get enough of her :D


DrBlock42 said:
I'm glad KyoAni finally realized that fanservice just doesnot work with their style.
And I was kinda disappointed by the final battle.

You didn't see many productions of KyoAni, right?
Wait, you rated Suzumiya 10/10. It was overfanserviced (I'm not saying that it was bad anime, I love it too), so...


But it was a different kind of fanservice. It's hard to put in words (partly because I'm not a native english speaker xD ).
MCPW tries to arouse the viewer (like normal fanservice).
Suzumiya "used" Fanservice.
For example in the scene in the cave, where the sexual tension between Kyon and Haruhi is an important (and brilliantly directed) part of the narrative.
And Suzumiya comments on the nature of such anime as well.

Haruhi-Fanservice = Part of a Meta-Narrative
MCPW-Fanservice = *Edit* Soft-Porn

But I have to admitt, the limbo-scene is pretty BA. I loved it. But the UFO-Scene for example was really stupid. I think that some of the Fanservice-Scenes are good. They are funny and with a lot of attention to detail, but not arousing. The more explict scenes are the ones I don't find fitting with the style. */Edit*

Wow, my WTF meter suddenly fluctuated at 5:45, or a bit later, from the words "I trust you are Princess Kurumi, survivor of Kuma-McLaren Family". Like what the hack is going on? McLaren? Seriously?



You know it, Haruhiko Ichijou (-_-)

Kuma-McLaren is that it btw?

I knew it will be hard to give a damn about this episode since it's about filler loli but holly crap, they jumped the bear. They jumped the fucking bear. That's all there's to say about the plot of this episode. Aside from that, filler loli (bears everywhere, how creative...) has some really annoying voice... waaaait. It's Takanami from KC. No wonder it's annoying.

Why am I even surprised. What can be expected from a studio that made something as atrocious as fag swimming club thing.

On a side note, will failure MC ever learn to not eat anything in the phantom world?

I've enjoyed the later episodes much better. I was expecting this to be a show far more focused on fanservice based on my initial impression but I do think the episodes lately have been kind of cute, time wasting, but cute. Loved the animation for Kurumi's dream world. Nice to see character explored in such a colorful and aesthetically pleasing way, even though obviously not everyone's going to be enthralled by the loli getting focus. I thought it was cute, though.

Everyone really hates this show, or finds it to be a bore, but it's certainly more interesting than my life at the moment, which feels like watching paint dry. Although, the beauty of Kyoani's work as far as aestheics go has ultimately transformed me into a huge stan for them and their work so I'm definitely biased lol

Next episode is cat episode. Cats. Yes. Good.

That OST during the transformation, and Kurumi's outfit sure looked similar to Chibiusa's.

Kurumi dang she's adorable. Her voice really fits her character.
Now the gang is all complete. Hopefully we get a Mai centered episode next.


There already was one ( kind of ). The episode with the two phantoms at the bridge.

Honestly don't have much to say about this episode, it was an episode focused on Kurumi and even though she is cute, I feel that this episode was the worst so far and I honestly didn't really care for it or feel it was needed at all. Overall I had to push myself to finish watching this episode and hopefully the next episode will be better.

I feel I same, not sure what half the people are complaining about half the time haha.

Perhaps it's just a vocal minority since the 5/5 and 4/5 in the poll is always highest
