Finally, the release of the abruptly cancelled episode due to the unfortunate assassination of Shinzo Abe. Better sooner than later.

It's Young Wai-Wai's turn for their comedy skit, and it starts off with their beginner days with their entry into Takaso-so in Episode 1, and a premonition that must not happen with the President being assassinated, for the solution is comedy. But to the other groups like Celebri-Tea's Mako speculating their assassination attempt, they think that they're declaring war against them. So, their solution? Slather the newbie group with favouritism, and whatever they think hat Young Wai-Wai is up to, it's definitely bad a.k.a bribery and poisoning.

The various groups in describing their food paradise according to their tastes and valour...eh, this is how I remembered the show in its beginning stages of trying to infuse manzai comedy too seriously for its own good. With the assassination ongoing from the newbie group, the others take notice, and it becomes a cat-and-mouse chase involving people and a cow, prettty rowdy.

The ruse misunderstandings took until the plotted time, but it was from a TV drama and that's all fiction thanks to Manager Seiji's contradiction, and even confusion from the drama's staff itself.

One's a company, two's a crowd, 16th's a big misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings: the episode. Kinda reminded me of gamers and the insane number of misunderstandings it had. Honestly, they would have been completely fine with releasing this episode since no heads of state were assassinated in the making of this episode meanwhile Engage Kiss actually had an assassination attempt.

Great episode! Finally episode 2 is here! And it' Young Wai Wai's episode!
Seems the president is visiting. The girls think someone is after him and planning to assassinate him!
Yayoi seems to convince the others that they will save him! After all, no one who loves comedy is a bad person.
The assassination will happen at 8pm...
The thing they thought was a gun was a banana xD.
Yuzu spots Kana looking weird and they suspect her! However, she is far from the suspect as they soon find out lol.
Yuzu says they should poison the suspect! Mako overhears them... and tells Celebri-Tea!
Now all of them think Young Wai-Wai will try to kill them!
Saeka devises a plan to soothe their ailing hearts and be as hospitable to them as possible!
They give them a lot of food! And they think they are trying to poison someone...but it turns out not! They think Wai-Wai have caught onto their tracking...
Kana overhears Celebri-Tea's plan to pay Young Wai-Wai off and she is now trying to prevent the bribery!
Young Wai-Wai are presented with 500 million yen worth of gold?!!
They have the impression Celebri-Tea may be paying them off so that they stop them trying to prevent the assassination...
Now Celebri-Tea has confronted Young Wai-Wai telling them not to assassinate people!
And now a cow is involved with Chihori and her team??!
Young Wai-Wai have deducted the Invaders are most likely involved with the assassination...
The others think they were trying to poison the cow?!
What's even going on at this point?!!?!?!?!?
8pm arrives...
Also the cow was beamed up by a UFO which is a very normal thing.
Seems the president wasn't assassinated lol.
Seems it was all misunderstanding... and due to the manager's insane strength!
Now a man with a gun enters the building!
Seems he came to the wrong shooting location...
Seem it was supposed to be the white house xD.

Looking forward to the next episode!
AISHITERU...REM!

Ah, the infamous Pulled-from-the-Air Episode after the tragic assassination of Shinzo Abe.

I wonder if they made any changes to the episode to make it more far away from the sad real life incident. Like, did they really planned President Ronald Drump as the supposed target or did they initially planned, like the current Prime Minister of Japan in the original, with re-animating new scenes and dialogue.

Anyway, the episode is really enjoyable with the domino effect of one group suspecting the other of doing something nefarious.

I love how the Celebri-Tea group are really nice girls but their solution to every problem is to pour money.

Bueno, muy justificada la cancelación. Esto hubiera causado un gran revuelo si salía el día original de su estreno xd. Grande Teppen. Un anime poco valorado, quizás por lo muy adentrado que está al contexto japonés

I'm glad they aired it instead of letting it be BD exclusive or rotting as lost media until the end of time. It definitely makes sense as an episode 2, doing a good job of giving every team a moment to let their personality shine before we really got an exclusive episode. Will definitely be nice when it comes time to rewatch it in order, and the episode previews will just serve as a reminder of this silly little predicament the show faced.

For what it's worth, the episode length is the same as all the others which leads me to believe nothing was outright cut at the very least.

Turns out the assassination is a misunderstanding, totally different meanings, and the main group concludes the final performance.

Episode 2 is finally here! I didn't want to watch episode 3 before episode 2, so I actually waited for the second episode to finally air before continuing the show. I wonder if they cut anything, or if it's just the same Ep 2 that was going to air before postponing it because of real-life events.
