----------------------------------------
Mm, I'm starting to get used to the visual style of this anime now.

Some of the themes in this show feels surreal although the anime itself is very lighthearted. It seems this episode/show is still making Scoopers the main threat of the series.

The idea of strange creativity made by the imagination of the girls also seems to be a recurring element from this episode too. Really curious to see how far this anime will capitalize on that.

I like the animation style. ED song is so catchy.
I'm not saying this is the best series in the season but I definitely enjoy it.

The girl with the shrimp is kind of suspicious to me.

Any scientist here to explain that?

The perfect zany plain art diverged into messy routine..

In Fact the timing is way off this time which connect between the last episode.

Tilting one dimensional orthodox style between the lighter ver. of Mawaru with full vividly pallets mixed up with a crack ver. of FLCL

A not so daily mundane in the city is nowhere beyond satirical

So far it seems like great art in search of a coherent story.

The plot only exist as a way to get from one creative set piece to the next, and the characters are so poory written it’s almost funny.

I don’t mind that this is just disposable entertainment because of how awesome the art style is, but it could have been so much better if they cared about the writing.

I wanna like this show but the pace is so slow. Now I understand how 3.5x speed trolls feel.

We already have Konohana Kitan and Blend S for much better cute and fluffy shows this season so this one is just kinda there.

It's still as boring as the first episode. The girls are trapped inside a bubble and they defeated a giant Scooper. They did a good job.

I appreciate this show's creativity and I love how it looks. Now if the characters were a bit better fleshed out and the story a bit more coherent, then this could be a favorite of mine this season.

But alas, that is not the case. Still watching in case it gets better sometimes, I still love how surreal this show is.

Dropping this one now too. Shame, it had so much potential from that premise and art style. But they don't have the animators or writers to pull it off imo. Best part of the show by far though is Mari, I loved how she's just having none of any of the magical girl shenanigans.

I'm finally getting used to its "too sweet" art. Haha. I find it cute now and I feel like I'm no longer gonna suffer from diabetes while watching. Lmfao.

I love the ED more than the OP.

This episode pretty much all about them escaping or trying to figure out where to go, figuring out what the barrier is made of, and fighting a Scooper then when they defeated it, it turned into a popcorn. Lmao.

Just like the first episode it was only okay. I love the animation but I can't bring myself to watch 12+ episodes of something only for the animation. The plot and characters are way too dull. I've watched a ton of "zany, quirky" anime but this one just does not work for me.

To be honest, this is one of the most boring series of Fall 2017, though it is very unique in it's own way. I think I might just have to drop this show soon, since it's just going no where and it's just all over the place and crazy. We'll see when the next episode comes out.

the art style is interesting and fun, but the actual execution/presentation makes it seem like they're just desperately trying to distract the viewer so they don't notice the severe lack of actual animation. it's all still frames and silly transitions. all of the actual action looks like ass. like seriously, pay attention to how much actual movement there is in the show. they have no budget lmao

nearly all of the dialogue feels like pointless, mundane fluff and the characters aren't good enough to make it enjoyable. this show is just "hey maybe if we use a wacky, spastic art style, maybe people won't notice that the show is super uninteresting and substanceless!"

i really wanted to like this show, but i just can't do it. it actually manages to beat out Konohana Kitan in terms of boringness. the retarded shrimp is the only redeeming thing about this show. dropped.

This is just too cute. Perfect for relax after work.

And I can't wait for OP song release. Uesaka Sumire is one of my favorite artists.
Of course as I mentioned in previous, ED song is almost as great as OP.

They ate the donuts. And then fought what I could only describe as evil co-IT SHOT POP CORN AT THEM. So it wasn't just a coincidence that it looked like corn. But hey, that means that as long as your killing aliens, you never have to worry about starving, BUT WHAT THE HECK IS STRAWBERRY FLAVORED POP CORN?

They created the bubble to protect themselves and the city, but now they can't leave. Well, time to explore the city.

Eating the enemy after its defeat is a bit creepy. But at least they don't have to worry about food.

The little girl and talking shrimp are awfully suspicious.

Felt just as pretty but less chaotic/surreal, more calm and orderly. Still a good enough experience to watch. It at least tries to be interesting, which is more that can be said for quite a few series

After watching Madoka Magica, i don't know if I can enjoy this show because it's too childish. I'll try to complete it though.
