I knew that he died but this early? Pretty crazy for a character so central but damn it was a good episode.

GET ONLINE EMNJAY Thank you. How much time do the idol parts take? I'll probably hate it if it's too much. If it's mostly a snarky girl though I might very well enjoy it. | ||

Man I remember when you said mj wasn't into this type of stuff and you wouldn't watch it together and now you are On October 27 2016 03:21 Miragee wrote: Thank you.

There is only 1 3 min performance scene in the first episode. 2nd episode features a hilarious trailer with a seiyuu event but no performance. | ||

I had to force emnjay. He thought there's only working so I tell him Girlish number was really good, we should try that out as well, I link it to him and he's like "woah, way too loli" or something like that because of the thumbnail. We watch it anyways and he liked it more than working so we swapped :3 | ||

Think of the show as a cynical look of the anime industry as a whole. The only reason they form an idol group is to milk all the dumb otaku out of even more money than they already were. | ||

My biggest gripe with these kinds of parodies is that they are often to close to the very thing they are parodying. My recent watch of Twintails for example. You could see it's a full-on parody but the scenes were often the same because other anime are doing this shit on the same level of ridiculousness while being serious. | ||

I think it's just incredibly blunt with regards to being full of fanservice and having a silly premise. | ||

unexpected yaoi scenes, go figure lol. Izetta: not bad though + Show Spoiler + seeing a girl riding a rifle and smashing tanks and plane is something else. Wish they toned it down just a smidge. Hopefully the anime doesn't nose dive after this. On October 27 2016 03:21 Miragee wrote: Thank you. How much time do the idol parts take? I'll probably hate it if it's too much. If it's mostly a snarky girl though I might very well enjoy it. I think it's kinda funny, love the snarkiness though it grinds my gears at times lol. Would recommend watching first 3 episodes or so to decide if you like it. | ||

Its still a good show but the replacement guy who pilots with Simon seems to be just filler because he has like 0 development outside of "he a reserved kid". Seems like kinda an odd choice there to have him be the replacement for Kamina. No one really stepped up to the plate to replace what Kamina brought to the show either. Still the show is stupidly fun and I love this team's style of animation and designs. It also seems it is like KLK in that there will be new layers of bad guys as you progress through the series (we are at just over halfway and already facing the supposed end baddie so there is going to be something else after him). | ||

Its not strange for a parody work to have a great deal of love/fondness over what they are parodying. Parodies aren't meant to try make the subject matter look stupid or dumb. That's the territory of Satire, which things like Twintails is definitely not. | ||

You should look forward to the 5 last episodes as they are, imo, by far the peak of the show which lasts 5 episodes and only continues to peak higher and higher. Atleast from the things you seem to enjoy from what you've written you will probably also love those 5 episodes. | ||

Afterall, it would be lazy for the show to make him as a replacement character. On the other hand, its rare for a mecha show to have a main robot pilot simply exist, rather than be their own character (outside of like... Benkei in Getter G), so hes not exactly empty space, as you'll eventually see. + Show Spoiler + ROSSIU LIED, PEOPLE DIED etc On October 27 2016 09:03 Sentenal wrote: Eh...

Additionally I thought the Chou Ginga Gurren Lagann and the Arc Gurren Lagann were both criminally underused in the last part. You know there's an issue when the Space King Kittan gets to do cooler things than both those two robots combined. | ||
