It took 3 episodes but this show got some laughs out of me. The pigeon dub and Fubuki looking for her glasses, that ancient joke still makes me laugh.

Well, I can say that this episode has finally made me giggle some.

The pigeon dubbing, as old as the joke is, is quite legit funny, and that's what the RDeco and Tokonatsu duos need for their next comedy act to get their act together.

Oh ho, so the Freak! and BANBANBAN duos are voiced by their respective characters, of course, what to expect better than to be your own VA since you're a well-established stand-up comedian in Japan...with varying styles. Ph well, the 4 girls most likely had some idea going around.

Another new duo formation: Tsundora, because comedy is subjective, and JK Cool's comedy act is truly on another level.

This anime is so absurdly boring that I don't know how I managed to watch it until the third episode. I thought it could get better, but this is not happening. The Lucky Star author no longer exists. Maesetsu is written by a beginner. Dropped.

Well...having a high goal is always good but you really have to work very hard for it...one day they will be probably as good as JKCool, they are good, really good.

It often only takes the one person who cheer you up, one person said Freak was kinda cool and they were very happy already. So yeah sometimes we need to be that one person as well.

I didn’t really want to drop this considering I like the character interactions between each other and the art style, but the actual stand up comedy falls flat for me so maybe it’s because of cultural differences but the jokes just seemed kinda cringy most of the time.

it's hard to believe it's written by the same person :(. I didn't even smile or have a change of facial expression this whole episode...

It was alright I guess, I didn't laugh at all though, if they can't brush up the material by ep5 then I'm out. Still interesting to explore stand-up comedy through anime though!

Okay. As the continuity from the previous episode, they tried to evaluate their performance. Well, the result was predictable, i don't even had a good chuckle over their stand-up comedy. But, to their surprised, someone loved it. Yeah, who else rather than Mafuyu little sister and her friend, Kanae. Lol. Its really helped Mafuyu a lot against a stressed that visited her. Well, they even wanted to form a group of comedian too? Well, its cliche. I shall say this at once: no girls, please. Its enough with that two not-so-funny groups xD, seriously. The slice of life comedy elements sometimes could hit and miss very fast. Its same with these one too. The pigeon dubbing time, to be honestly, quite good, when the others just a train wreck. Even that JK duo too. Its missed so much on me, i mean, the hell was that? Joking about a wedding cake combined with a math? Well then! But, the Freak! session was actually nice too. Its made me grin a little, especially when they mentioned and dubbed Kento Ito a bit its really my highlight. Well, at least one person love it too, and the girls regained more motivation. So, as an overall, nothing could stop them to work harder. Lets see their next attempt to gained more confidence and audience, or maybe they found a good material too. Who knows?

I don't believe the understanding of what Maesetsu is, is translating to the viewers in the west. I find it funny. Not hilarious yet but the pigeon bit was close. You cant compare this style of comedy to the style standup in US. Its apples and pears to compare the two. Maybe it helps that i am older and lived in the east for a while so i have a little experience with the style.

I still think this is not a comedy anime, more like an anime about the struggles of being in the comedy industry in Japan. Of course there are bits of comedy sprinkled around but imo it’s not the core of the anime.

Perceiving Maesetsu in that way makes me view the anime very differently. Suddenly all those “unfunny jokes” become something that is what you would expect of someone who’s just starting out in comedy or just can’t seem to get their big break.

And the of course there’s also the idea that comedy is subjective.

Overall I like the premise and I enjoy those bits of funny gag that they tried, even if I only get a chuckle every once in a while at this moment.

The characters ears on their cheeks reminds me of Denzel Crocker so I kept imagining what this show would be like if he was in the mix thinking that the 4 girls had Fairly God Parents.

I'd say the girls' acts are more amusing than funny but what I really love is their earnestness.

Yeah, their earnestness is what keeps me watching. I want to see them succeed, even if the comedy falls flat for me.


Felt bad for the older duo. The random audience member complimenting them was nice though.

I actually thought the act of the senpais was kinda funny! I think they just have to work on comedic timing.
I liked this episode in general though!

Stand-up comedy is a tough world, you either have the talent to excel like the JK cool group or you heavily struggle like those senpai
