| Man, the style of art this episode is a thing of beauty. I do mean it literally seeing how it's protrayed. More so, the episode itself has the theme of manga in relation to the arc. Just a beautiful style of storytelling imo and more series should do stuff like this. The anime bought out the feeling I remember from the manga too. Well done and somehow they managed to make the character expressions humorous too. |

| Btw the lyrics for the start of the OP are "up up up up down down down down down" x 4, but it's written in kanji, so in Japanese it looks like: 上上上上下下下下下 上上上上下下下下下 上上上上下下下下下 上上上上下下下下下 lol And while yeah, it's not as good as 01, I still really like it. 安野雲 (Anno Un) - lit "relax field cloud". It took me 2 and a half minutes to realize that this is a pun on "unknown" lmao. 7:16 This is a henohenomoheji (へのへのもへじ), a face known to be drawn by Japanese schoolchildren using seven hiragana characters grouped together to look like a face. 7:48 Osamu Tezuka! He was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist and animator. He has such titles as "the Father of Manga" (マンガの父, Manga no Chichi), "the Godfather of Manga" (マンガの教父, Manga no Kyōfu) and "the God of Manga" (マンガの神様, Manga no Kami-sama). He is the author of Astro Boy and Dororo (1967. Yes, the anime from MAPPA was adapted from this). 9:22 Damn, Andy's voice is so sad here... He now realizes that he won't die no matter what, even if the world ends. 10:56 Omg even the "censorship cloth" was ripped XD The drawing processes look so damn cool actually 15:37 Kanda-Jinbōchō (神田神保町), commonly known as Jinbōchō or Jimbōchō, is a district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, known as Tokyo's center of used-book stores and publishing houses, and as a popular antique and curio shopping area. Lmao the faces of the clothes UMA Oh damn, they actually show "Shueisha". I totally thought they'd change the name. It would've been really cool if Anno Un was the actual mangaka of Undead Unluck, but alas, his name is Tozuka Yoshifumi. But holup, he might be god...? This episode was so damn interesting and fun. Loved it! Damn, this turned out long... @uiminami7 Oh damn, you're right. So apparently in the manga Andy didn't threat the Shueisha editor, instead Fuuko just straight up took the cell phone and pointed a gun on her lmao. Such a badass. I guess they didn't want to show any connection between real guns and Shuheisha or something. You can google "Fuuko shueisha gun" and a reddit post with the manga panel should show up. |

| Shoujo manga to the rescue! Juice pulled out a book. It was a familiar book to Fuuko, but the possibility arose that it was a story of the past and future of this world depicted by ancient artifacts. Andy and Fuuko were tasked with verifying the state of the original manuscript and gathering information about the original author. If it was depicted by ancient artifacts, the original manuscript should not have been affected by the addition of language unification rules. However, verification was not easy. Andy proposed taking the manga to a publishing company. In an absolutely unexpected turn, Fuuko and Andy are about to one-up Time Paradox Ghostwriter. This episode is seriously the wildest one yet. Fuuko's fave quirky sci-fi shojo manga turning out to be a prophecy is already pretty weird, but her actually writing Undead Unluck, the anime you're watching, within the anime itself? That's next-level meta. It's probably even crazier when you read the manga. And the real Time Paradox Ghostwriter being Fuuko all along? Mind-blowing. This episode came out of left field, but somehow it fits perfectly. You can only wish to travel to as many places as Fuuko and Andy do. Anyway, next stop: Canada! |
 |
| Episode seemed better paced than the previous 6 ones, which is welcomed. The part of Fuko and the others making the manga was fun. It seems the narration was the mangaka Anno Un all along, which is clever ngl. |

| Oh shit so its truly back to the beginning again, huh? The 101 vol shoujo manga series actually a books of prophecies. The author of those mangas also already revealed on the op, which i don't fully recognized it well until Juiz mentioned it in detail on these episode. Not to mention she's also the one that narrates this Undead Unluck from behind? Now what's the meaning of all of these? Especially that erased memories part in the end? Sick. Wicked sick, like Andy said. Ah don't forget how they mentioned a lot of manga industry intermezzo there. Tezuka Productions. Shueisa as their hq ofc. And then the big one coming from that one-week manga-processing bs. Author really like to touch a bold remark there. Lmao that's must be hits hard, idk the source tho.... Well in any case, cliffhanger sure tough. Next week can't come fast, huh? Perhaps its time for me to read the source as well. Let's see... |

Another great episode 😂 I’m sure Andy felt that after having his genitals ripped off and they had to pause the show for a second that was great 😆 looking forward to the next episode!
| @YagamiLight_1212 I actually found this episode really boring. So much wasted time. |
| fourth wall destroyed |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| manga as prophecy this time eh and the manga fuko made is undead unluck |
| Loved the 4th wall break, wonder if that editor is based on a real person too, really felt Fuko's chara dev also she became such a cool character Also seeing the union making the chapter together was comfy |

| Pretty entertaining and unique episode. I liked all the unique and fun references in it. Also, this gotta one of the most unique and original ways to hype up future arcs I've seen in a long time lmao Honestly, even though many may argue that the pacing of the anime is awful and that it only adapts less than 2 chapters per episode with all these recaps, the episodes still manage to have so much stuff happening in them despite all of that. And in only 19 episodes, we got so much plot information and progression that could have easily taken +50 if not hundreds of episodes per regular Shonen story progression standards. Finally, there is one frame in the next episode preview that looks like it was drawn by Hironori Tanaka. If that is true, then we are in for a great action-packed episode |
| There's something cosmically hilarious about a manga publishing company employee seeing Japanese words as weird alien inscription. Never expected this show to go this direction but I can't say I didn't love it. Wonder what the irl industry would look like if every mangaka and their staff ever were given one of those brainwave arm thingies |
| Funniest episode so far! Dead Bull - instead of Red Bull The Star Wars Crawl And Fuuko and team drawing manga like some overworked mangaka or anime studio. Just all around entertaining. |
 |
| I forget about the references. In particular Kimi no Todoke and Captain Tsubasa(like a fusion) had me LOLing. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Never thought the manga from Episode 1 would not only return but also become a huge plot point. What a surprise. Wait, Fuko wrote... Undead Unluck? As in, the story about herself from the day she met Andy? It's a bit lazy but given they have such a limited amount of time it's understandable. Bruh. Fuko pulling a gun on the Shueisha employee was cold but also made much more sense. I didn't read the manga but just seeing Andy show up randomly felt off. Like how did he even get in? Did he jump inside a window or something? But I can understand them changing the scene lol. All this time I thought the narrator was Juiz cos they sound so similar. But if the above comments are right then it's Anno Un. That's very cool actually. This was probably the most thrilling episode yet and it had no action scenes. I wouldn't mind if more episodes were like this. |

@FarCritical Remember quest neutralize UMA Language? The reward itself is Language unification. Language unification erased Japanese, and re-write English as one and only language for everyone except negator that had their power before language unification happened.
| Yeah, I remember the universal language reward. Just found the idea of Japanese text being out of place at a manga building kinda funny even though it makes perfect sense in context. |
| can someone please tell me why did fuuko freeze there when she saw juiz drawing? |
    |
| So wait, did Mui not have one of those hand backpack things? Or did they forget to animate it on her? |
 |
| Episode full of crazy references and i feel it was biography message from the original author itself lol |
| It's always great when a manga author adds a plotline involving manga. It feels like they're drawing from experience! I don't know if its meta for fuukos story to be a literal autobiography to find a future searching book that was telling their story. But it also does make sense! |
 |
| What an episode lmao, they wrote Undead Unluck... in Undead Unluck... can't wait for them to get to the chapter where they write about them writing the chapter about them writing Undead Unluck. |
| So many references in this episode, i love it!! Yeahhh Anno Un like Unknown? lol Ain't no way, you telling me Undead Unluck was a Shoujo Manga? LMAO |
 |
| Drawing manga to save the world heh. Their plan worked. Now lets see what this manga author has to say. Btw lol at all the union members reading the manga. Need more Juiz. |
 |
Catalano said: Because her drawing is really good and detailed so she was in shock? She was drawing Andy too at that and Fuuko only learned about their relationship last episode.can someone please tell me why did fuuko freeze there when she saw juiz drawing? |
|
| That ending was a bit unsettling, looks like someone has an Un-memory ability or smth |
| As a Canadian that lives 40 minutes or so away from Stanley Park this arc when I read it in the manga was such a vibe for me, and I'm even more excited to see it in the anime now too! You always see random Japanese locations in anime, like Shibuya and Akihabara, so seeing a location that I've actually been to before and am familiar with in real life will be very surreal. |
| I easily enjoyed this episode and the many references that it dropped. For me, the most noticeable was the shoujo manga looking almost exactly like Kimi ni Todoke, as well as the Star Wars opening credits to summarise what Union needs to do next. The whole team helping Fuko making her manga did also remind me of Bakuman in a way, but this was on a different scale. Either way, the whole process was amusing, but also wholesome, especially between Fuko and Tatiana. Their friendship certainly is a strong one now. =) Thankfully, Fuko got able to get some good success with her manuscript at the publishing HQ, where she, along with Andy, were able to land a meeting time with Anno Un. In typical fashion, they'll have to get from Japan to the meeting place in Canada in 5 hours, which shouldn't be a problem. Whether this meeting will go well with Anno, who knows. I do hope the next episode keeps up this entertaining form, since this episode did give me some good laughs. |
| You guys think the girl got her phone back? xD |
 |
| Ah yes, the classic one day manga XD |
| I knew the book was going to be the manga Fuuko read based on her reaction from last ep. Amusingly weird plot point how this went all meta where the author made fun of themselves in the dialogue lol Apparently Im not the only one who spotted Fuuko's huge ass taking up the majority of her body out the front of the building lol. I guess the perspective of her bending over made it just look really weird. |
