On a personal note... this anime is extremely sadening and depressing... even if it's like that, I'd like to be there and watch with the same eyes and actitude as Watashi the way things work in that world, even if t sometimes would bring tears to my eyes

... it's a morbid pleasure.


You realize you're already doing that?
The script of this series is only a portrait of our current societyat global level.
Unlike Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Joshiraku that attempt to be "clever" and "intelligent", "critical", "awareness", commenting on the issues addressed while massaging the ego of the author and a portion of the public, Jinrui merely reproduces the same situations and lay us there on the shoulder of Watashi. That is what makes this series tragic, it makes us see the same situations that we witness every day in third person, which makes everything we notice that is wrong around and within us.


Nothing beats the feeling you get from being there. Besides, I would interact with the characters.


"More Stranger Than Fiction" feelings...
Maybe I'm exaggerating here, but it's just me or are you balancing itself dangerously on the edge of the abyss? Seriously, because you see, what is being shown there is a depiction of the real world. This episode just described what happens in the real world. You can jump off your chair at any moment and watch by yourself with your own eyes, instead you insist on the fiction be more interesting AND the real world be so uninteresting that want to be there in the world of fantasy, be able to see and interact with the world of fantasy.]

We don't need to go more deeper, did we?


It's allways more fun to watch an stilized and artistic vision of the reality than the reality itself. With that, I'm not saying that the stilized vision is "softcore". Instead, think of it as an allegory (the whole show is an allegory)... like a poem, like a painting... they depict reality in an artistic way... and through the effort and wit those depictions have, we love then more than the ussual way.

A poem it's allways more beautiful to read and awakens deper emotions than prose.

I'm fairly conscious of most of the political and social problems that surrounds myself but I like to watch it through the eyes of satire and humour... it's more fun.


Yes, I agree. I was just joking.
BTW, did you watch "Stranger Than Fiction"? Good film, despite the ending.

Such excellent social commentary... set in a quirky, and declined world. This is a fabulously unique show, and it's JUST what I needed...

Y is awesome.

I wasn't particularly fond of the first arc of this show. In fact, I was half convinced I was going to watch it but not pay any attention to the rest of this show. At the start of this arc, however, I was proved wrong.

BL manga arc? Oh yes, more please. I just love it. I think what made this episode at the end was the blank panel bit and the fact that, when Y was shocked, her emotion was written out. I think it made this episode completely fabulous.

Very engaging & hilarious anime, Watashi has me hanging on her every word with her dark dry wit and the anime's very unconventional way of storytelling. Seriously the twists in that sweet love manga caught me off guard. Cant wait for the second part next week.

What do we do?
Child below ones knees
The contrary of a Chestnut
Asked the snow from the forest
it's just a child.

In the city, I discovered a secret
And the humanity saw it also

I've always watched
the futured and I've faced it
Let's stop the hollow dreams,
the dellusions: The Earth hath sang it.

You, who lives on a dream
You, who dreams of becoming a dream
How will you do it?

Don't forget those feelings
They weren't a lie
Heart. (or soul)

What do we do today?
Come here, squirrel child
Oh, you've scaped to the forest
such a harsh journey

What do we do today?
I cried to you urgently
Can't you hear my heart?

When the shock signed appeared, I was so waiting for Watashi to poke it. Sawashiro Miyuki is a nice addition to the cast, I really like her voice. A good episode again, love the deadpan snarks. 4/5.

Assistant-san should have made some delicious yuri doujins.

Ah the power of culture! LOL Y just initiated the manga renaissance specifically of the fujoshi kind since it was relevant to her interest. And then she even revived Comiket! XD

So they're trapped inside the comic book. It's the fairies again no doubt, looks like her fears came true.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

Huh, this episode was certainly interesting ;P Yep, that's what happens when you do something "new" ... everyone tries to copy you XD Interesting that they're selling magazines and what, yaoi manga? :P Haha XD Yep lots of crazy fangirls it seems ... well, I guess a little healthy competition never hurt anyone? o_O
Didn't know that the main character's seiyuu also voiced Nagisa in Clannad ... interesting :O I can kind of hear it now ... and Y's seiyuu is Inaba, Saeko ... well, her I realized it right away XD She seems to be in everything nowadays! Lol O_O
Anyway, so they get trapped in a blank page and LOL the sound effect that came up was pretty funny :P I wonder how they're going to get out of it ...? :O

Yes, I am sure, this anime is anything you do not want to be. It seems one thing but reveals anything, I'm curious, especially the dialogues intrigue me.
Drawings and animations sufficient.
I have a strange feeling for this I give him full marks!

*sigh* the concept for this episode was alright, but the execution of it was poorly done.

Maybe it's just because I still don't like any of the characters, but I find this show to be really lame & really overrated.
