| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So we get a Gundam themed episode this time. Great. Can this show get any more random? To be honest, I think they're just picking up random people off the streets and telling them to direct this anime. -_-'' |

 |
| To be fair, this was not actually random if you had watched the pilot episode. Chise was talking about getting Fumino to cosplay as Sayaka, and while that didn't actually happen, it eventually became an episode of a show within a show. I am actually quite surprised that I enjoyed this, because I rarely watch mecha shows, but I do know the standards that makes a good one. Hopefully next week we go back to normal pace and with the storyline back again, as I'd like to see further plot developments. With this episode, I can roughly gauge just about two more volumes of novels being adapted (but this is at a stretch), but the more realistic aim would the third novel being the end of this season (assuming there are future seasons to be made). Just to briefly summarise without spoiling anything... in my opinion, the third volume had the largest amount of development in the material I've read so far. |
| I feel like a Stray Cats Overrun !! ( A stray cat which lost its way and run into no extent limit of distance ,It means from first episode till now and I felt I am totally lost of not knowing which direction I should really reach.....and during the journey doing all sort of crazy stuff along.....) At least the Anime doesn't stray from the title's meaning ^^ ( It seem this Anime also in braver mode just like Ichiban Ushiro ) Usually people will feel exciting during this sort of fighting scene but since the "scene" suddenly come out from nowhere,I feel it is funny rather than exciting.I laugh because of watching such " cliche" in old Anime which I seen long time ago, Damn!!!" Girl robot + Male Robot " transformation really dirty echhi >.< I really enjoy laughing silly during this episode LOL |

cr4sian_phil said: I don't understand why each director thinks it's such an excellent idea to taint things that are already critically acclaimed and well received. I understood that this show would fail on many levels when they announced the director situation, but I still don't know what this show is supposed to be about, and it's already almost over. o.OSo we get a Gundam themed episode this time. Great. Can this show get any more random? I'm amazed that they just didn't come out and say "ORETACHI WO DARE DA OMOTTE YAGARU?" It feels so wrong watching this knowing that they mocked Gundam and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and yet still didn't even do a decent job of that... |

DeeCee said: Mocking is what a parody does, and saying this was otherwise is wrong. Rather than TTGL or Gundam, I could just as easily have mentioned that they were mocking an inferior, terrible mecha, but it was pretty obvious that the former were the victims of this parody.I doubt they were trying to "mock" TTGL or even Gundam for that matter. I'm pretty sure there are other "combining mecha" anime out there. |
| This episode caused a "throw-arms-in-air-and-yell-"DONE" " moment. Was this episode just made for fanboys? Robots + girls in cat suits = best otaku guy entertainment? |
| Okay, now someone change the thread title from "Mayoi Neko Overrun! Episode 7 Discussion" to "Yuusha Choujin Grand Braver Episode 26 Discussion" |
| I think the true relevance of this ep won't become clear in next episode. I'm guessing it's some sort of movie, or something in that fashion. Either way, this ep gave me a huge "WTF? moment". Considering I'm not at all a fan of mecha, needless to say, this episode both confused and pretty much bored me. There's probably some underlying symbolism here, but why present it through a mecha-parody, rather than be more straight-forward about it? |

| This is quite far from Lagann or Gundam. More like VOLTES V. While the individual mecha looks like Transformers lol |
 |
| Wow opening was hilarious Gundam xD @entropy yeah , there was some drills xD And Courageous Superman Grand Brave ! Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ! xD |

| Wow, as a Super Robot fan, I really enjoyed this. It had all the Super Robot tropes. A show that begins with "G" and ends with "-er," Combining mecha, drill mecha, mecha that talk like the Brave robots, the classic sword pose, the theme song powerup moment. And it was sung by that guy from JAM Project. So much fun. And clearly nobody realizes that this was homaging Super Robot shows (particularly the Brave series) in general. Not just TTGL. Besides, it would need more drills for that. Ah~. Now I want a new Super Robot anime... |

| pfff....we rarely get a tsundere confess her fellings in the first episodes so how come they don't continue the story that way - like with more development - rather than making random episodes...disappointed with this episode |
| What on earth was this episode supposed to be about? The story's initial plot seems to have deviated quite a lot. |
| what the s**t did I just watch? half way through the damn thing, and my eyes were bleeding. |
 |
| What is this bullshit + gundam bullshit?! I hate mecha, well, except for TTGL. So, I'll give it a generous 1/5 and lower the score of the series to 4/10. By being generousness, I mean that my anger could fluctuate the space time from the past to cause "coincidental" probabilities to make a glitch in the MAL system for rating this episode a -1/5. On the plus side, I was NOT disappointed by it getting worst. Yeah! Keep the shit rolling! |
| Just got done actually watching this and I got 1 thing to say... What is this I don't even... |
|
| What the **** did i just watch? For some reason I remembered the baseball ep of Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo |
| This episode bummed me out so much that i skipped the whole damn thing... what a waste of time and money. If ppl want a mecha/robot anime they can have their pick out of 100 of other series out there (and good ones too). This looked like the director decided he wants to play out his little robot fantasy a bit, but who cares about how dull it would bee. And just when i thought that this anime couldn't get any more cliche.. :/ Of course, for all the fans of this genre, or the 'Super Robot' this episode would be enjoyable, so that's the one thing they did well. If you look at it from that perspective. |

Actually this episode has close to zero relation to any Gundam series or TTGL. However, it is a clear rip off of Combattler V, Dancouga, and GGG (just to name a few of those combination robot series). And of course...the Brave series :) |

And of course...the Brave series :) I agree with your refs as I think those are closer to what it was aimed at as well. I didn't think anything TTGL other than one robot being called Drill. Gundam is probably being associated cuz of popularity and the whole star burst forehead looking thingy, but you see that in so many other mecha series as well. Only refs I could pull myself was stuff I watched long ago like Voltron (that floating thing Otome was in kinda looked like a lion, the combining, and Blazing Sword haha) and I sorta thought of Dangaioh's Psychic Wave when the Duke was doing that hand attack (just what I thought of, not that the attack resembled it). I can't pull as much refs as you guys cuz I have yet to watch those mentioned myself, haha. |

| What a shit boring episode. Disliked it to the max. |
|
| Whoever directing this shit should be fired. IT'S UNDER -9000 |
| (>-.-)> d(>.<)b <(-.-<) |
| Seriously? A robot episode? No, just no. I gave up after 5 minutes. Next week's episode needs to make up for this bundle of shit, or else I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on it. At least the other episodes were crap that leant towards a general story. I had thought the multiple directors thing would produce some interesting results. Unfortunately it's turned a half-decent series into a load of bull. 1/5. |

Xassite said: Relax....from episode 2 or 3 you should have realize that this sort of Anime has no plot (story will all cramp up in between the last 2 episode).Just enjoy the Robot fighting scene and forget the plot that you think its trying to bring..... Hater gonna hate lolI watched the entire episode hoping that they would return to their original plot. I guess I wasted 24 minutes of my time. Boring shit. |
| Wait what? なんだ これは？ I thought I was watching Mayoi Neko Overrun!, not some random mecha xD. Oh well, I don't mind I guess~ Kaho Hazuki~ <3 Incredibly stupid episode, but a robot's fine too, right? And did they just like.. Mock every god damn mecha anime out there, by, in 1 single episode, making it better than many of them? xD........ lol |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Guranbureiba~ Seriously, What is this i don't even |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| I'm not really into Mecha shows so, I can't say I enjoyed this episode that much. Also, the fact that this "parody" or whatever came out of nowhere kinda made me confused as to what was happening in there. I never watched Gundam or Tengen Toppa or wheteve,r so I can't even say if the parody was well executed or not. Other than that, I guess I enjoyed the (small amount of) fan service a little bit. I hope this returns to the regular plot by next week. |
| I'm not trying to be mean or anything but this is the stupidest episode in Overrun. It waste my 24 minutes just for this crap. PS: TTGL is WAY better than this. |
| And with this Mayoi is dropped. I was doing my best to watch this show, after each episode I was thinking that maybe next week, maybe then I'll finally watch a good ep. But no, this time it's just too much. |
     |
| It's because they're not letting the guy who directed To-Love-Ru direct Mayoi Neko. If he took command of this, the series would not have turned into complete shit. I'm wondering what they're going to parody next, DBZ? Naruto? Bleach? You hear that, you random directors? I'm begging you to do a parody of shounen series! |

This episode was meant to be watched by Super Robot shows fans and not just TTGL or Gundam fans. Great homage here, enjoyed every minute of it. 5/5 P.S: Does anyone knows who directed this episode? I'd laugh if it was a Super Robot show director. XD |
| なんだこれわ？ Worst but ODDEST filler/episode I have seen, probably 2nd to last of Ichiban Ushiro ni Daimaou. |
     |
| ...the hell did I just watch? Regardless, I just hope some sort of continuity is established soon, seeing as we're past the halfway point in the series now. |
| Ha-cha! |
