| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I know this show is a bit strange but this episode imo took the cake. It's not every day you get to see a bunch of 3D heads singing together... |
 |
| I wandered into the weird part of the internet again... |
oh, very nice episode. this should be bundled with some lsd or some shit |
 |
| The animation in the first 20 seconds was nice, never again I wanna see anything similar to the rest of this episode tho. 1/5 |
 |
| That was nightmare-inducing. |
  |
| Probably my least favorite episode so far but I had this weird appreciation for what they were going for. I thought the interview was also one of the more interesting ones from the show. |
| I am truly impressed by how this was put together, one artist did the entirerity of the song, yes this is not my cup of tea, but I am glad that I saw a completely new art form. |
 |
| I really wanted to like this episode because I appreciate art and new approaches to telling a story but I just found it boring. |
| I hate to say it, but this was a total failure on every level. The art was unpleasant, no plot, not really an adaptation of the source material, just a very dull, repetitive song. The director clearly wanted to be different, but did so by entirely failing to follow any of the guidelines. It's like presenting a dance in place of a book report. Nobody is saying you can't dance, but that isn't the time or place for it. Except in the case it was also so bad on its own that, yes, please never do that again. |
| That was horrendous. I have no idea how this is the same guy that directed Mushishi. |
| That's why modern artists can't be trusted. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Ok, warning at the beginning was real.  |
 |
| I need more shit like this once in a while. This is the same director of Flowers of Evil. In the interview he said he wanted this episode to look like Thunderbirds and feel like La La Land. The modern artist said she wanted to emphasize Ekoda and her friends' faces so she went for huge heads with little legs. They are both hilarious. |

| That was horrifying. I like to see something different like this every now and then. |
 |
| Did they axe the show because of this ep or why does it say it's set for 11 eps now? They kept mentioning 12 different Ekodas in the show so I thought it would be 12 eps for sure. |

Maybe it will be a two-part next week? Since they seemed to be having a party in the PV of the interview xD |

| Ekoda exist within all our hearts. |

Since they seemed to be having a party in the PV of the interview xD Oh I think I get it now, MAL is probably not counting this 10th episode because it isn't 'animation' (is it? idk). That happens frequently for anime that have one episode that is live action or puppet stuff, they just pretend it doesn't exist :> |

Puppet animation is still animation. |

Puppet animation is still animation. yeah but I'm not sure if this was puppet animation or just puppetry like Thunderbolt Fantasy. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I wish I could pretend it didn't exist. Unfortunately, it was all too real. |

|
| Yeah I was very confused about MAL only listing 11 episodes. It even glitched on me a few times when I tried to change my episode count after watching episode 11 at first because their system I guess just can't understand how I completed a still airing anime... Seems awful to me if you're listing an entire anime series and just ignoring one episode in the middle of it because it doesn't match your criteria. It's not even like a recap episode or something, it's still an official episode from an accepted anime onto this site. And it even started with animation before the supermarionation started. But nah, it's cool, they'll just say stuff like Dimension High School exists despite being live action half the time...makes sense... |
| Fuck off, MAL. I knew they'd mess with the episode count because of this episode. |

| Minna no kokoro no naka ni EKODA HA IRU my neeks |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I was actually enjoying this series. For once I'm glad the ep was only three minutes long. O_O |
Speed is Life - 1st ID... patch on my shoulder. |
| -interview part begins- Me: YES. PLEASE EXPLAIN. So um... it looks like the hair was technically animated... Or at least they drew it digitally and had to move it all around the scene so... ReaperCreeper said: It's straight up disrespectful at this point.Fuck off, MAL. I knew they'd mess with the episode count because of this episode. |
| too avant garde for me |
 |
| Just finished watching Gurren Lagann Parallel Works episode 7 which has even less animation than this, but is still included in the episode count on MAL! |
| ...Well, can't say they didn't warn us at the start that this would be a weird one. |
