THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

Animation's kinda strange but the OST is actually better than I had thought. DARK UNION. The episode sure is weird though but I guess for a 'dark comedy', it works.

Dat snake imitation~

What the heck did I watch?? The animation is really the most inferior I have seen for years and it lasts for 16 min ?!? I mean, it seems a kid could still draw better character than this and there is really no action sakuga to speak of.

I don't think it is a 'dark comedy' at all. Kotoura-san it surely isn't. It is more like a crudely done pure gag stuff.

If you are willing to waste 16 minutes to watch this, well at least you will learn how a person in serious chuunibyou condition is like (yeah, more than Rikka in Chuunibyou that is).

So many Shonen Jump manga get really serious effort committed in their anime adaptation. Why does Saiki get THIS?? I mean, I have more fun watching Ansatu static vomic than this 'anime'...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I was hoping to find an anime release, after reading the manga. I mean what is this? A storyboard or something? The VA is pretty good, but the manga is hilarious and deserves better animation treatment.

This is kinda stupid, the animation is also weird.
That chuunibyou guy is even crazier than Rikka xD

Well, decent. Pretty funny despite the animation being bad.
I bet the manga is way better than this.

Yeah, animation and art were really bad, but actually it turned out unexpectedly funny.

It's good I watched the main series before this OVA as this would totally have not impressed me, the animation and art were subpar and in general it was just boring. A shame really as the main series is great!

It's upsetting how nobody researched this. It's a FLASH anime; it's just a cheap, short web series. It's great for what it is.

Holy wow that was awful, Saiki is my favorite anime comedy but the shitty art+animation plus meh music (and no JUDGMENT KNIGHTS OF THUNDER), and the pace being as bad as I expected Saiki would be if each chapter was half an episode long, the fast pacing of the main series is the real deal and I love it.

I'm glad I'm started watching the main anime and not this. Saiki's VA is awful, the comedy feels flat and the animation is weird.

I wanted to watch this so I could compare it to the modern tv adaptation. Yeah guys I think the entire JC staff team flew to Amsterdam, stocked in on weed and smoked it while making the tv anime, because there’s no way they improved this much in 3 years. Goddamn this version sucked. The pacing is horrible I watched it at 1,25x speed and it was still slow not to mention the terrible art. What even was the purpose of adapting 16 minutes? It makes no sense. Saiki got the recognition it deserves in the end

The more wild voice acting and detailed sound effects make this feel more like a drama cd than an anime. You can pretty much follow what's going on without seeing any of the animation which is fortunate considering the animation is as simple as it gets. I personally enjoy when shows like this that choose not to overuse their backing tracks. Going from no bgm to that goofy Nendou theme has a big impact.
