This episode, and this series in general is The Room of anime, but intentionally bad. So bad, that you might call it genius. And I think that this saved anime.

I'm amused that there are people who legitimately hate this.

They ain't giving no fucks about anything, that's what they are telling me.

Watch them pick on every different genre and pissing people off further :D

This is something else, definitely the best i watched from this season yet.

This thing needs more early 10s. It's like inferno cop is back :D So many gif-able scenes.

The evil corporate managers with the fidget spinner cracked me up more than anything else. "This season we will attain supremacy" xD

I would have popped my lid if they decided to make it an Endless Eight reference, but I don't know what to say now. I guess the team wasn't epic enough to pop my lid.

Brilliant.

Makes Nichijou look like Henry James. Somewhere, Marcel Duchamp and Alfred Jarry are smiling.

Yes, the jokes are not 'funny' in the conventional sense but in a post-Vine trolling sense. What does 'funny' even mean? What show am I in? Why? What?

Truly, the only appropriate response to such a show is a vehement: "Huh!"

It's funny if it makes you laugh.

Though it's true reference based humor has a rate of "hit" very low, few people will get all the references in there, I got only a part.
The references used seems to come from three groups: videogames, anime, internet memes.
The kind of humor used so far is a mix of nostalgia, irony, trashing and random timing.

Calling it shitpost the anime seems accurate, this is what good shitposting wishes to be, the funny kind of shitpost.

It was hilarious and people are legitimately getting salty for an anime that is intentionally made that way.

However, I don't get why would they repeat the same thing with different voice actors and slightly altered jokes.

"A quarter of an hour of pandemonium ensued: outraged cries, booing, and whistling by the offended parties, countered by cheers and applause by the more degenerate contingent. Such interruptions continued through the evening. At the time, only the dress rehearsal and opening night performance were held, and the play was not revived until after Jarry's death."

Hyped by the same people who read the manga and liked it, and also liked the episode. If you don't like the humor that's okay, power to you, but it's really naive to think that just because many people like one thing you'll like it, too.

And from naive it becomes plain dumb when you throw a tantrum about it.

Honestly not sure what I think yet. Definitely not bad, it was pretty funny and I like that they're going outside the source material and coming up with new stuff, but I don't know how I feel about the double-episode thing if that continues. Guess I'll need to see more episodes before I can judge whether it holds up to the manga or not.

if i'm nitpicking though, the audio mixing was pretty terrible

okay if it's just 12 minutes twice..I can watch, I was starting to find my ad/os being WAY satiated pretty fast heh.

PS whats the whole first minute about? Seems unrelated to the rest heh.

hehe funny enoughg I started watching it on kissanime, and crunchyroll at the same time thinking due to that intro it had to be different anime heh.

My thoughts exactly. Like seriously, when it started again i was sure it was an error, then noticed the different voice actors. This is one of the biggest troll anime ever XD.
I will watch the next episode, i just hope they don't repeat the episode twice each episode, it can be a funny troll once, but more than that and it's just annoying.

i haven't read any of the source material but this is RIGHT up my alley. seems a bit like oso-san but better without fanservice lol. should appeal to both men and women whereas i can see how oso-san wouldn't be much fun to sit through as a guy.

i really hope they don't pull the double-take thing every week though. it was a good first time troll but it's get REAL old REAL fast.

(s/n: not typically one to be all 'lol normies' but i really am bewildered by some people's reactions? it's not THAT bizarre... or am i the bizarre one... lol)

I personally fucking loved it. I'm a fan of anime like this such as Nichijou, Daily Lives of Highschool Boys and others. That and the fact that comedy is my fave genre. I completely agree with u tho. It wasn't THAT strange like holy hell there's worse shit than this. Whatever the case I will definitely be tunin in next week

Repeating the same episode with different voice actors was entirely unnecessary; if anything, it substracts from the show.

It was a decent start but needs to pick up the pace.

So this was bizzare. Unless your kind of humor consists of really out there memes and inside jokes, there's not much here for people to enjoy. A large majority is going to think this is overhyped, unfunny nonsense.

For me, it was funny until just after the Fidget Spinner bit, then it started to lose me. I couldn't sit through it a second time, but I'll give Pop Team Epic 3 episodes.
