| Hmmm... A short show about the Anno family... The first episode seems fine by me. A bit funny, too. |
 |
| Definitely weird, but it was a tad funny too. |
 |
| meh, not too fond of that little kid 1/10 |

After all those depressing interviews of Hideaki Anno related to Evangelion I wanted to see some funny stuff about him, maybe some of this are true. Anyway I'll keep watching. |
| Not gonna lie. I didn't get it XD |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Haha well, i already love it :D |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| I can see how a lot of people wouldn't like this because it goes over their heads (for example, if you think the protagonist is a kid...), but I thought it was funny enough.

Considering his wife wrote it, I don't think it's completely made up, it's just that things using real people tend to declare they are fictional. |
| Well that was enjoyable, at least I understood it. |
| not worth my time. |

In an interview at the end of the manga Hideaki Anno states "I requested the opening disclaimer as a joke. In fact, this manga is a mixture of both truth and fiction." So, yeah. |
| Why is Moyoco shown as a kid? I don't get it. Is Anno a lolicon? |
 |
| That was...random. But I enjoyed it! |
| It was kinda funny. Mostly mecha/toku jokes. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| A tad absurd. Which is good. Baby-wife and getting married in cosplay and handing out doujinshi. I had a good HA! moment |
| A Wolf Runs Free. To Dream the Impossible Dream. Skip Beat is the only Idol Anime I will ever enjoy |
Litrydow said: Why is Moyoco shown as a kid? I don't get it. Is Anno a lolicon? Because she draws herselfg such. Most of mangakas use some weird avatars |
 |
| Weird and funny at the same time. Seems like it will be a fun ride with little time investment.... |
| Somewhat funny I guess. I'll probably forget about it in the next few hours. That mirror knife though. |
 |
| Yeah I don't know what to say about this... |
| I should not be laughing so much for something this retarded. But damn, for 2mins, I'll see where this goes. |
  |
| I think this should be an interesting ride. An inside guide to an otaku couple's life... There is an 11 year age difference between the two in real life, maybe drawing herself as the child is supposed to reflect that. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| It's short, absurd and funny. What more would I need? |
| - |
| I cringed a lot. Why the fuck does she look like a toddler? omg I'm gonna stay with it, but I can't guarantee I can complete it. |
| I...I don't know what I just watched... |
| My signature is lame... |
| 10/10 anime of the season But honestly, if you've read the Insufficient Direction manga, you should know what to expect. Moyoko draws herself as Rompers... kind of the same way Arakawa from FMA always draws herself as a cow? It doesn't really mean anything other than a silly avatar for herself. Unless you like Anno and his wife, and lots of Ultraman references I can't see anyone else really enjoying this as much. But I like all those things so I greatly enjoyed this. |
| I like the set up. Lots of references I didn't get though. There isn't nearly enough anime about married couples. |
 |
| Didn't meant to start this but I really like Anno so meh. |
| Wow... this was so weird ._. Yeah... also I can't handle this little kid... 1/10 ._. |
 |
| Ahahah, I swear I thought it was a dark story about a pedophile because the "wife" to me reminded me a baby ... Anyway, it's Anno family, so I'll look some more episodes just to know more about Anno-senseitroll rodac said: There is an 11 year age difference between the two in real life, maybe drawing herself as the child is supposed to reflect that. Oh, that's actually a nice piece of information, thanks. |

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of exaggeration about the fact she is a little kid when there isn't really any deep meaning. And I know that people like to comment that they didn't understand when it has a lot of nonsense, but c'mon. It was quite simple to understand. |

| 2/10 2deep4me |
| 4koma? 6/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Well that sure was pretty weird yet amusing and funny! |
