VAPORWAVE: The Animation™

Boy, it's giving me some Horrible Histories feel.

The ending theme could even be a Monty Python song.

It's... Fantastic. I'm depleted of words. Taken out of breath. What even is Thermae Romae, Sekkou Boys or even Hetalia next to Olympia Kyklos.

My new AOTS. My new religion.

I'm very impressed by this.
While I'm not sure what score I'd give it because of the lack of time, I'll definitely keep watching.

Was looking forward to this because of the trailer. Man, what a way to start this series. I'll be sticking around for this one.

That OP is fire.

Pop Team Epic's spirit lives strong in this one. Quite delighted I can finally see some abstract comedy without any strings attached.

The opening caught me off guard hahaha. I actually bursted out laughing as soon as soon as it started.

The rest of the episode was hella fun too, definitely on board with this one.

Oh great. Surreal, absurd comedy. The kind of comedy that I hate so much. So many things I’ll be unable to unsee indefinitely. My intelligence has been greatly insulted. Maybe I should have brain surgery.

"Come on guys look at me, I'm so intelectual that I feel the need of validation of other by posting that my inteligence is just to real for this reality."

That's what you sound like, one thing is to say: I didn't like it because of this and that and the other, now you're coming to this topic just to post this and give yourself a congrutulatory pat in the back...

Anyway, not sure why but I was expecting traditional animation, let's hope our Demitriuseless gets a gradual shift on his being.

Is it against the law to post one’s own impressions on something like this regardless of how odd or polarizing it can be? We wouldn’t ever need Internet forums like this, then.
Unfortunately I don’t have that sort of “realistic intelligence” like you think I do. It is my own fault for being too curious, tbf, but it’s not like I haven’t seen weirder presentations than this.

Also, only 5 mins per ep? Maybe if it was longer, I wouldn’t feel as perplexed?

Guy wants to be artist but isn't very good at it and is being pressured to compete in athletics instead. However suddenly he is transported to another world (wow what a wacky idea that has never been seen in anime!) and now his view on both art and athletics will be changed. Yes, a very absurd premise, I have no idea how one could ever understand something this clearly nonsensical.

WHAT. THE. HELL. DID I JUST WATCH.

The OP...may be one of the best in shorts I've seen in quite sometime.
The ED, weird as hell but also funny (there will be as many as possible I presume).

Looks damn weird in similar stop-motion clay animation fashion, but damn it's so hilarious.

And the time travel aesthetic, damn it's lush.

Looking forward to more of this since it's 24 episodes.

Honestly? I don't know what to say xD
The story and the style are so different and akward, but I somehow want to see more of it. Tbh, it would have been nicer if they centered only on Ancient Greece. Now that's something that I wanted to see xD but even so, it looks interesting
Gotta like that Dimitri-useless dance. Or the "time traveller" song.

It wasn't that bad. And I guess it is a show that will get better once you get used to the style.

But I still dropped it. I barely watch short episode anime. And it would need to offer more than "not bad" to make me continue watching.

I'm Greek and I also find this one a bit disturbing or brain burning as you said so I kinda agree with you, I dropped it too. My demur is not about the style or the story, that's unusual and even pleasant I could say. I just feel sad about the way it is presented because when someone refers to another culture, would be nice to do it with respect. Of course it's totally fine to be humorous and funny but it could be done in a more polite way instead of insulting. Or at least that's what I would expect. Expressions like, emotionally unstable Dimitri-useless and other stuff they say/imply, in my personal opinion, are unnecessary. So yeah, even 5 minutes per episode and 24 episodes, are too long for this thing. I wonder how other people liked it...

I mean, I don't like when an anime seems to be intentionally insulting someone's intelligence, beliefs, or culture. The supershort duration of the presentation with each episode doesn't help, either.

Never nuke a country twice! Creators must have snorted entire Mt Fusji worth of coke instead of just restraining themselves to just a line.

The style of comedy employed in this ep. was immediatly appealing to me--over-the-top, surreal humor is an excellent medium for "creative innovation." And I know that this isn't a popular opinion, but I do value an anime more based on its technical experimentation and overall novelty than plot (lore-driven fiction is really boring to me, most of the time), so this series was a breath of fresh air in this regard.
A 4/5 for this first episode. It was an amazing introduction, in my view. Worth keeping an eye on, I hope.

I was absolutely shocked. I gave this a shot because each episode is only 5 minutes- and yet that may have been the most enjoyable 5 minutes of my day.

That OP is straight fire. I hope this gets some more attention- especially if it keeps up this quality.

Watching this only because I'm a classicist... it's funny that some of the subs got things wrong (it's not Tortonia but Tritonia, which is written plainly in Greek).

It's sort of got Thermae Romae vibes, although a bit more zany and acid trip-y.

It took me a second to realize that they transplanted a live mouth singing over the statue's 'face' in the ending (or opening?). Gives it an otherworldly feeling.
