THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is non sense.
Ok, first, the show starts with a rakugo, which I don't quite understand...
The whole show is basically 5 girls talking with minimum movements...
The names of the girls are really hard to understand. o.O. In another word, weird.
Anyways, I need better sub groups that will explain the all the references on the side, otherwise, I really don't get some of the jokes. XO
Lastly, I faceplamed at the ED.

Edit: gg will be subbing Joshiraku. See post here.

Wow, that was one of the quickest way of spending 24 minutes for myself. The conversation with constantly-changing topic was surprisingly addictive, despite being quite trivial at times, and definitely had Kumeta Kouji's slightly satirical tone to it.

Anyway, GJ to JC Staff for animating this series! (even though the main characters question themselves at the beginning why such series filled mostly with dialogues should be animated. XD )

People who don't understand Japanese wil most likelyl get butthurt for not understanding the jokes and references so this anime gets rated down to oblivion. Subs won't help you unless the whole screen is filled with tlnotes so yeah.

The show also has bits of Japanese politics (i.e., especially the uyoku stuff that appears at the end of the episode) and social critiques that were aplenty in SZS..

Anyway, I think many people watching fansubs sometimes forget the fact that most shows are simply produced with just Japanese audience in their mind. If people are not fond of certain shows, just let them watch another show that are available out there. :P

I really liked, even thought there was some jokes I did not understand (as there was in the manga), but anyway it IS interesting and fun... It's just like sit down with some friends and talk about what friends talk: NOTHING! XDDD

Anyway, yes, non-Japanese public will get lost (as I were at some rate), and subs will not help that much. It is just Kumeda Kouji... back in SZS there were also too many jokes lost on the translation... deal with it.

Absolutely enjoyed the episode, had Kumeta Koji's "delightful" brand of humor without SHAFT's godawful SHAFTness. Silly and fun, cutesy art and terrible groan-inducing wordplay, which is the best kind.

The char intro are too fast and the word are too hard to read.... and the Furigana are too small >.<

Most of the joke makes me feel like " what?.... I don't get it >.< " ...

Takeshima ? The end of the episode is a bit dangerous .

That territorial issue was not mentioned in the episode, but instead Kuril Islands and Senkaku islands.

It doesn't matter if my Japanese is not good enough to understand the episode fully. All I care about is the addictive ED. It's just as crazy as Kill Me Baby.

That was probably some of the most fun comedy I've seen in anime recently. The puns were actually very enjoyable, and not as difficult to follow as I feared it might be. Possibly a few things went over my head, but I'm really glad that this was subbed. Also the girls are cute.

I didnt get any of their stuff. I feel kind of dumb but Im going to keep watching! Can anyone explain some of the stuff to me? Like the ending where they're pointing at the different areas on the map. Was that to make fun of different countries?

I felt like I didn't really get alot of the jokes either. But what I did was pretty good. I'm a sucker for dialogue driven shows like this so I'm hoping it will pick up.

not getting some of the jokes, and still having fun while watching it, just made this anime awesome. i love the whole scene where they just annihilated the 4th wall. the gags and puns were also funny. i might be an easy catch since i laugh at a lot of thigns, and am easily amused, but this was awesome. and dat ED, DAT ED.

I like this show even though I got only like 70% of the jokes and puns the rest of it was made up of that awesome ending and the cuteness. Also at the end with the map they were making fun of the countries like point towards the US and say "give back our tech".LOL

The jokes remind me of SZS which is not a suprise since both were created by the same person, though the general feeling is completely different.

While I do prefer SHAFT's take on Kouji Kumeta's work J.C. Staff did a solid job nevertheless as I was thoroughly entertained.

In the first few minutes, they broke the fourth wall and made fun of me for watching this for free. In the last few minutes, they threw in political jokes. In the middle was onslaught of puns and wordplay.

That is why I am loving this anime.

I'm not quite sure if I like it yet or not. Willing to give it another few episodes. Some of the jokes and visual cues did make me laugh quite a bit, and I like myself some puns.

Also, that ED will be in my head for awhile.
