----------------------------------------
Eh it was okay but nothing really impressive.

Average visuals, comedy feels so-so, theme songs, and characters feels subpar.
It's the first episode so I'll give a chance. Maybe it'll get better. The idea of the show has my slight interest though as a show about anime.

Minoa's kinda cute at least..

Lol, talking cat.

Looks a bit cliche not to sure if this will be a nice watch.
Tho it did have it's funny moments the characters seems to be copied from somewhere else and even the main character doesn't seem to at much.
Even the talking cat has been done before.
That being said this anime could still turn out to be something nice.

My only gripe is the lack of male characters. If they wanted to focus only on the girls, the makers of this anime might as well set their school to an all-girls school. I only get kicks out of watching interaction between male and female chars in a school anime, and don't watch one where all chars are girls, since I am a guy and can only relate if there is one main guy character in an anime.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Well that was packed with references

Felt a bit bland still though

Also why were they idols in the ED when they're clearly not in the show itself

I just wanted our princess to call Sebas and say slap her:D Would prefer for her just to leave after confirmed she isn't watching anime, still princess talking about anime was high point from this anime, while rest mostly meh. The other teacher was quite nice, after the first appearance with that this will be on test-> well depends on my mood:)

Nothing special but i liked it for what it was.

This will probably live off the anime references, the blonde haired girl (for now) and the TALKING CAT!

Ironically, in the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things club we already excluded this show from the seasonal list, because it has two guys in its poster.

I thought the animation and visuals were really crisp and well done, I liked the shadowing they used.

As for the anime I was looking forward to watching a more realiztic anime club type anime...and then came the talking cat...so yeah I guess it's getting supernatural somewhat so we'll see how this turns out. The characters have a lot of potential though.

Surprisingly I didn't hate Arisu

Wow, so far it was pretty cool! It's literally about anime fans created by anime fans talking about anime in an anime club. It looks like it may have a darker side to it judging from the last part of the episode with the hat. Haven't got much else to say, just ready for the next episode!!

Should be macross, it was a mix from Macross 0 and the first series with Minmey; the old man that got sent flying was probably the captain xD. No idea about the angels though.

Oh high school anime club, that really takes me back. It was terrible but the idea was great. It didn't really feel like a club and for the most part, not very anime related. It was an excuses for relatively shallow people to come together and act like idiots.

If anyone reads this, what was your anime club like?? if your school had one (high school or post secondary).

Oh and this anime was ok :P

That was a very promising first episode. I enjoyed it. Haha.

So, this anime's an anime about an anime fan who became friends with an anime rookie then they decided to start an anime club to make more friends who are into anime. ANIMECEPTION! LMFAO.

"Don't drop us after the first episode." HOLY SHIT THEY KNOW! HAHAHAHAHA. Naaah, I'm not gonna drop this show after the first. I really enjoyed it. :D

The surprisingly clever anime, in its context, of course. Kind parody without vulgarity on any otaku and enthusiastic people. But I'm still angry that they gave Inori a lot of place in the staff, but in the series she plays only the older sister of the main character.

I'm gonna be honest, since I am a filthy weeb.
A major reason I'm gonna continue watching this, is because the girls are so damn attractive. Plenty of potential best girls or even waifus here.
I have to ask the OP, why do you think the visuals look "average"?

Decent first episode.

I definitely would have joined the anime club.

Yeah no surprise that cat wasn't exactly normal, I am looking forward to seeing what happens next time.

I like how the cat at the end ask us not to drop this anime.

Overall, it was pretty good. Minoa's childhood memory inside a dream of watching anime where the captain got blown away and with a look of determination the young girl transforms, takes out her magic mic, and sings that cuts to people face down on the sidewalk surrounded by flopping fish and cherubs was hilarious. I liked the ending theme too, which oddly reminded me of an opening of another anime I can't quite put my finger on ...

episode 1 was ... weak? idk it lacked something, or maybe my expectations were a bit too high? it was cliched and predictable, characters felt bland and that talking cat feels out of place, like it doesn't belong in this type of anime. anyway I'll keep watching it. I give this episode a ~6/10

I’m on the edge... I feel like this won’t be worth it.

But I’ll give it a few more episode, but I’ll probably drop it...
At least this made me think about how would you represent anime in an anime proper... and when is it done well... can some make an analysis video on that I’m too lazy

honestly the cat scene makes me want to watch more (the part where they just step on him not beggin us to keep watching :/)

the scene with the blonde girl walking into the classroom has to be a reference to shugo chara! where nadeshiko walks into amu's classroom. her entrance, ponytail, elegance and the MC's reaction are practically identical.

nice OP from GARNiDELiA!
I can relate a bit on that situation wherein, you though that person knows a lot of shows but it was just a front face facade and you went all hype and all that hype comes down to nothing because you over expect that person who you thought you know that she know a lot of shows. heh I understand that a lot.
4/5.

I think it was a pretty good start. A lot of references, two likeable characters, talking Bleach like cat.
I guess no one had any big expectations for that anime, so it is a good start.
