| Amazing to see characters from The Tatami Galaxy back! The dialogue and monologues are as fast as I remember. The plot is as ridiculous as ever still, and Ozu is as revolting to watch as ever, but that’s a good thing. Looks like we have more time travel shenanigans in this series, I wonder if Watashi’s remote can be fixed, with some time travel. |
| it's really good to see the good old cast back together! their interactions are still fun to watch, and it's great to see they haven't changed. i got a little confused on what happened in the middle, but by the end it kinda made sense i guess. very excited for future episodes :D |
 |
| Letssss gooo Tatami Galaxy is back!!! 🐐🐐 Great episode. |
 |
| It's been nearly 5 years since I watched Tatami Galaxy so my memory of it was pretty rough but it was good to see the cast back together and the episode itself was a solid return for the series. I should rewatch the original in the next few days to get completely back to speed with the characters in the series but for the most part, had a pretty good time. Shingo Natsume's drawings maybe lacked a little polish at times but for the most part, he did a pretty good job helming this episode and bringing out what Yuasa did with the original Tatami Galaxy visually, here in this new adaptation for the most part. The pace of the monologues and the eccentric characters/animation that I did remember from the original, were definitely present here in spades. Tatami Galaxy is great so I should expect to have a solid time with this one, even if it's pretty short with the 6 episode run. |
| It's amazing to see the whole squad back. Even with director change it doesn't matter, we went from amazing director to another amazing director. I'm so happy we are getting more of this series/universe |
| I'd like to make myself believe that Planet Earth turns slowly |
| What a charismatic comeback, I'm really excited to see where this story is going to take us. |
 |

 |

| It hurts to see my precious little onion boy relegated to yokai status once more. HIS MOTIVES ARE PURE DAMN YOU |
| Nice to have the tatami galaxy feel back although can't help but notice the lack of Yuasa's vibrant direction as the episode went on. |
RyTeOnJohnston16 said: A little bit slow to start but I love the eccentricity of it. The narrating is interesting, the animation is vibrant. I haven't seen anything else in this series but I'm looking forward to watching more! You should watch the original first! HIGHLY recommended, its my favorite anime ever :) |

| The time machine is a Doraemon reference isn't it? |

Ronninn said: I think its supposed to be a spin-off cause I got the same feel.this ain't really a sequel? |
| YESSSSSSIR, I loved the ep, I can't wait for more !!!! |
Today I don't exist |
| This is so cool, it's really as if it is the same even though it's been 12 years, and I'm just loving seeing more of the story with it not being a sequel but a kind of spin-off or alternate settings since it's like the beginning of the loop with the alternative universes but this time we have a real time machine that Ozu found and tried, also RIP the AC remote lol |
 |
| Entertaining start, this. Looks like this season will be easier to follow for once because it delves lesser into the individualistic philosophy and whatnot, which only time will tell whether it's for the better or not. Some more raw interactions between Watashi and Akashi-san! Yes, just what I wanted, lol. A possible date with someone though, definitely curious about that. It's nice to see the other characters just being themselves too. Ozu is just Ozu, imagine realising the time machine works only after using it. It could've gone anywhere, props to him for not showing the slightest hint of hesitation. Gold reaction from the side characters when Akashi-san claimed to attain enough footage for the movie, the disbelief was real xD. Great to have Asian Kung-Fu Generation return to perform the Op, and the visuals have a similar sort of style to it. Probably not going to go down as iconic as the original's but this is a good shout, nonetheless. Pretty nice and boppy ED theme too, I'm already pleased with the two. Dialogue is as good as ever, and the main lead VA is doing a fantastic job again! "When waking up, be an immovable mountain. When paying for rent, be as swift as the end." - The show really does come up with the best lines, doesn't it? Curious to see what this is all about. |

Fenlix said: It's a spin-off, hence how it ruins anything? I'd agree if it were an actual sequel that gave the impression of being unnecessary. Plus as another thread pointed out, the story itself is from a 2005 movie. This is reinventing that film's plot with the Tatami characters, which I only see as a fun idea. I didn't like it,the story seems to be a sort of reboot or something. That kinda ruins the great ending of the original serie. |

| I'm really glad that Science Saru is working on this. Their work on The Night is Short was simply amazing. Despite rewatching The Tatami Galaxy only few weeks ago, it feels nostalgic to see everyone again. Especially with their new looks. Love Yusuke Nakamura's character designs; always so unique and stylish. So I'm hoping that by the end of this, Watashi and Akashi will go to Gozan no Okuribi together. I mean, that'll probably be the case; but I'm gonna hope for it regardless. The OST was simply beautiful as it was in Galaxy. I'm really glad that they're using tracks 2 and 9 ('Watashi' no Theme and Akashi-san no Theme) from Galaxy's OST. Both are great tracks and fit perfectly with their respective characters. Both the ED and Asian Kung-fu Generation's new song sounds pretty good. Also love how the visuals are similar to Galaxy's. All in all, this was a fantastic first episode! Loved everyand I'm very excited to see where this goes! |
 |
| I liked the changes readapting some elements of the movie to the Tatami universe. But I thought Watashi and Akashi were already a couple and Ozu no longer looked like a demon at the end of the original series? Anyways, I'm excited for the rest because I loved the movie. |
| I see they're doing their own way while adapting the play and the end result is great, I was a bit afraid thinking that it'll be a mindless comedy but it still retains the Tatami energy, even the dialogue is almost as fast as in the old anime I have nothing more to say 5/5 one of the best anime I ever seen recently |
    |
| It was so so~ There were some really good quotes, tho. |
 |
| Even after all this time the style instantly felt like the original, complete with rapid-fire dialogue and all. It put a smile on my face right from the start. Loved seeing the cast again as well. All in all this was a wonderful start and a nice reunion with the characters! |
| The characters are one thing but just hearing ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION again brings back memories, it's been a long time since I've listened to them...time goes on too fast. Anyway pretty solid start, this is an actual anime I'm legit excited for. |
   |
| It's been 4 years since I watched the original and the fast-paced dialogue immediately brought back it's memories. The voice acting was so consistent that it just feels like something done right alongside the original. Even the whole "time wastage" thing is being taken even more literally this time with a time machine. Now, with the change of the director, it does feel a bit less expressive in its presentation, but Natsume still delivers on all the things that made the original (and Night is Short) so great. There's also the "heat" effects which does add up narratively but at the same time, it kind of ruins how good the backgrounds look. My only worry is considering this is supposed to be released as a movie (atleast the first 5 episodes), I hope the pacing doesn't get fucked as a result of it getting split into episodes. |
| Oh, Tatami Galaxy how I've missed your mile-a-minute dialogue, witty repartees, and time travel shenanigans! It's strange yet amusing to see the main cast get along like they've been good friends all along, especially Jougasaki considering how big of a jerk (and a pervert) he was in Tatami Galaxy. (It's kind of like watching Carnival Phantasm where all the Fate characters are generally getting along, but were trying to murder each other in the main series.) But I'm all for it. Our MC is more candid and everyone's personalities bounce off each other which made for some great comedic scenes. I burst out loud laughing when Ozu disappeared with the time machine. I mean, I completely expected it to work given that this is a time travel story. It must've been the brilliant build up from Ozu's grandiose farewell speech to the blank stares from everyone to their surprised/panicked reactions immediately after. |

| A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more. |
| It's definitely different than Tatami Galaxy, but in a way that helps this sequel to distinguish itself, I think. The direction is more slow-paced and easier to follow. There's a noticeable change in character design too, but it's consistent to the old style, so it didn't bother me. Like a lot of people have already said, the main cast feels like a group of old friends hanging out, and this is probably what I've gotten the most out of. I can't wait to see what will come out of this time machine plot. |
Ahora, triste en la pendiente, solitario y ya vencido yo me quiero confesar Si aquella boca mentía el amor que me ofrecía, por aquellos ojos brujos, yo habría dado siempre más  |
