THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This show really seems to enjoy having characters drinking together and hanging out. I'm actually more curious about the non-human characters in this show as they play some important roles.

On the other hand, didn't feel like the comedy did justice this time. It felt cartoony. Those little magical critters running around are no joke though.

Gochumon was saved now we can look forward to another possible season if it ever comes.
Anyway the battle scene made me think about Tokyo Mew mew in combination with Pokemon, Jessy was blasting off again...
Anyway it was a pretty funny episode.

A very nice nod to Gochiusa (however it's still a sad reminder that I won't get the 3rd season until next year). However, the battle scenes are very boring, they're much too bland even by magical girl standards. That ED though is excellent.

This should be fun, but it's just pretty bad. I like the old-fashioned comic villainess, but I don't see any reason to continue this. (but holy fuck, the ED).

The animation is pretty bad and the show overall is pretty darn predictable and boring. However, I probably will continue with it because I am curious to see what other series' they make references to.

Bland in every way. The art is very flat (and downright bad for the manga-world girls) and the action is boring.

The girls were cuter as eels though. That and the ED were the only good things about this episode.

was dozing off then i saw the ending thinking to myself what the fuck is this ending is this the same show lol.

but i did have a realization the premise for this is good and it'd be better if it was in actual anime that they were allowed to use instead of slighting hinting at real ones


though that is not the case so this will most likely be a hard drop if everything else continues to be so bland

I enjoyed the GochiUsa reference for this episode. Too bad there was no chance of getting the actual seiyuu's to voice the GochiUsa characters but I knew there was no chance of that happening.

I'm glad the aim of this episode was to protect and cherish manga and anime. Gochiusa was a great anime and I do hope they'll air season three.

I guess this anime's aim is to protect our culture and anime/manga for future generations, so that they should know they existed. What a noble thing to do. I bet Monogatari is next or will be soon.

I think I'm out on this one. The fanservice isn't doing anything for me, and that's about all this series seems to have going for it. I'll probably come back for episode three when I get bored and run out of stuff in my queues for the night. This one just isn't sitting well with me.

This show is the anime equivalent of finding out that you're HIV positive.

Seriously, this show looks like what GochiUsa would look like if some dodgy Chinese company decided to make a low quality bootleg of it.

That ending is the only thing that saved it, looked like they let the horny 15 year old intern make it, had me laughing my ass off.

I wont drop this because its crap enough in just the right way to be amusing.

This anime strongly reminds me of an old anime, Eto Rangers. Except this time instead of saving fairy tales, they go to save otaku novels?

Well, good enough. Although can only give it 6/10 for now.
Would have been 7/10 if they did not go over the top with the fanservice at the end theme, that was unecessary.

Okay, well now no one can legally watch this episode anymore. All legal streaming services pulled Episode 2, right after the Japanese side announced that Episode 2 would not be included on the Blu-ray.

Wow, i hadn’t heard about this til i just watched Mother’s Basement’s “Worst of 2019” video, but sure enough Ep 2 has been expunged from all legit sources 😟 Oh well, since i had pretty much forgotten that this show even existed, i’m guessing it won’t bother me for long 😅 Life lesson: The next time studio White Fox asks you: “Is the Parody a Rabbit?” you answer “NO!!!” 😄

Time to continue Pastel Memories, I watched the first episode Feb 12, 2019.

This anime has a lot of characters that I find ridiculous. It doesn't help this episode is childish either while the ending is from a hentai lol. When that Hanekawa's copy accidentally hits the generic mascot, I laughed, it was the only funny moment in the series. The fights are sooo boring and even when they defeated the villain they plagiarized Pokemon.
