I'll just repeat what I thought when I watched FLCL:

If you want to understand Excel Saga, watch it. You'll stop feeling like understanding it after the first episode.

This is how weird it is. :S

On a separate note, the OP is quite catchy :D

It's a screwball comedy. What more is there to it?
Peace through Superior Firepower!

Ah, just the kind of comedy that I love. Why the hell did I hesitate all those years to finally start watching it?

It really has been a long time since I've seen Excel Saga, rewatching it again surely brings back nostalgia.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

LOL @ the OP song.

I thought for a second the MC died already in the first 5 minutes of this show. Then, ofc I knew I would be trolled. Anyways, really awkward start. I think I'll try to tolerate this show but so far it doesn't leave me good with impressions.

Just 5 seconds in and the OP already had me in stitches.

Noooo dog :(

I feel so horrible laughing at the ED. The dog adjusting the mic...then the translator appearing. It was just comedy gold.

*regains sanity*

What the hell did I just watch?! This has got to be the best "turn your brain off comedy" I have ever watched. It's so weird and random but the timing of the jokes and the delivery is just perfect..I...I can't believe how awesome this is. It makes me want to cry.

I don't think I can handle marathon'ing this though. It's one of those series that you watch when you have a bad day and in desperate need of something that will make you laugh. Recommended dosage: 1 episode a day.

Weird but funny. Not bad. Some anime can be weird and random in a bad, uninteresting way, but this one doesn't look like one of them.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

I think a certain anime from Fall 18 was a bit insprired by the beginning of this series xD

I was honestly hoping for at least a little bit more plot, but I surely don't mind some random craziness, especially if it's executed like in this case.

I was hooked the minute she skipped into traffic and got hit by a truck, and then gets killed at least half a dozen more times throughout the episode, and even manages to kill the mangaka who wrote the original comic book a couple of times. Absolute madcap satire, definitely gonna watch this entire series, I can see it only getting better from here on in LOL!

Man I have no idea what to think, usually I like dumb off the wall comedies, but this one isn't really clicking with me like others do. It's like I want to laugh but I don't end up laughing, I want to give this a fair chance for a couple more episodes though
