THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So this show aims to teach the weirdest English. The pronunciation was surprisingly fine, but the grammar wasn't. Also, I was very confused when three Mahou Shoujo having orgasms was followed by the phrase "I feel like I'm in heaven when three vectors get together." Are the girls carrying and transmitting diseases? The animation was pretty typical, and they repeated the same sequence three times. The comedy didn't do much for me either. Not something of which I would watch more than one episode, but it was quite an interesting experience.

The vector scene was a reference to Aquarion, a very amusing one at that. I enjoyed this little 5 minute show and it's an easy watch when having nothing to do.

it was okay, but the English could be improved there.

those were pretty 5 awful minutes, though, not the worst 5 awful minutes ever spent.

Lol. What kind of a learning is this? "I feel like I'm in heaven, when 3 vectors get together."

Nice reference there. XD
