Lol I can’t believe they got Buggy and Ace to voice the second half.
Because of that I don’t think they’re gonna even have actual voices since they changed last weeks voice actors. I wonder who they’re gonna get to voice Pipimi and Popuko next week?

Also I simply can't stop adoring how many prominent voice actors work on this together (male I mean). At some art in the industry once in a while.

Show is decently funny. Better than Nichijou, but still only a solid 6 or 7.


This. The OP and the stop-motion sequence were truly beautiful though. I think I'll keep watching it at least for the creativity they put into the animation.

MAL now has this listed at 12 mins per ep, but the two halves had one slight change, so it should be still 24 mins right?


I think so too, since technically there is a difference.
I bet they are gonna troll us with a legit full length episode probably the last one.

Why the hell would MAL do this? It's obvious that this Reemission thing is entirely intentional, and they play with the idea. The episodes are 24 mins length.


I just submitted a change on the page for mod review. Hopefully they will fix it.

please just stop the repeating 2nd half. I know things were different for this episode but it would be irritating if the whole series becomes like that.

I didn't know they were changing VAs for each episode though, but its barely noticable if it uses the same formula of one gender voicing per segment

I like this episode more than the first due to the fact the anime incorporated different media styles this time such as the live recording of the voice actors' reactions and the stop motion idol song segment.

You know what a comedy show does when they want to stop writing jokes? They throw in a musical number to slow down the flow and get away with 0 jokes per minute.
They literally hired a chinaman to sew two dolls of the characters for a musical number in the second episode furthermore they repeated that in the second half. This show should be used as a litmus test for a euthanization program.
Not a single laugh not a chuckle not a smile.

Am I the only one who wants those dolls? And that song was animated extremely well.

The OP was really, really good, I'm shocked. Didn't expect this series to have a totally legit OP sequence.

This time, I liked the female VA section better, though I liked the subtle differences they threw in.

This show reminds me so much of earlier SHAFT shows, and I'm loving it.

Oh god. When they showed the seiyuu of those two characters and seeing the studio, I screamed then the shenanigans came. Fuck.

That song they sang in the middle is so catchy, though. Hahaha. The only sane scene this episode. Help. I'm so fucking scared, but I can't stop myself from watching this show. Huhu.

STOP THE BOB TEAM EPIC! WAAAAAH. HAHAHAHA.

I guess I don't have to watch the second half? Since it's just the same thing, but with different voices, but I feel like I'm missing something. Waaah. I hate this show.

ALRIGHT, THAT SECOND HALF WAS MORE TERRIFYING BECAUSE OF THE FACE OF THAT THE GRUDGE LADY. AND THAT WAS MY NIGHTMARE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK, SHOW. OHMYGOD.

5/5. HAHAHAHA!

The male voices are louder and sound older, making fun of their outfit, which adds to the parody element.
And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

Repeating the half isn't really working for me though, the jokes work once then the don't, the effect of the different VAs is minimal for me. Not saying that either half was better

This is absurd. So I have pointlessly been sitting through the second halves without being credited for it so far? 12 minutes for all 12 episodes would mean that I'm being cheated of a whole 0.1 anime days on my MAL account if I continue watching the second halves.

Random things everywhere. Plus the OP is extreme good and catchly
The forth wall trope in this anime are insane! I liked it.
And i laughed hardly when the seiyuus is even trolled too, they must be never expected to make "your own" dialogue XD

Also i loved the pop team epic ugly face part. The annoying and funny thought is mixed into one form while watching.

The simuldub is just absurd. Be it the Japanese or English-language, I would imagine the show's writers might occasionally want to a drink when they get home. That is, to drown out the thought of "What the heck did I just work on?"

Rewatching this episode dubbed, it was real disappointing. I wanted them to do more than just dub over the recording scene, and they missed an opportunity to make their own version of the Love Me Pop Team Epic. I'm probably asking for too much but still.

Oh my god, they fucking trolled me on this episode.
The first part, on the seiyuu scene, i didn't expected the two to be under the chairs.
So, like a fool, on the second part, seiyuu scene but with different seiyuus, i looked at the same spot, just to find the fucking girl from The Grudge instead D:

Great episode!

Best parts was the unfinished section with the adventure heroes versus the Demon King. I even lol'd when the VA started showing themselves being dumb founded about those scenes XD

The Sadako scene was scary good as well!

The idol song with the male VA was the best!!!!!

So basically, the 2nd half of each episode will just repeat the first half, but with different VA and some altered scenes??
