THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


Err... What are you doing, Yamakan? You were the director and the storyboardist, no?

Compared to other 5 min anime currently shown in abundance this season like Yama no Susume or Mangirl, this one looks so cheap cheap cheap. And the jokes are not so funny either. Do they really think this can help the sale of the manga, which has only 1 volume published so far (back in Dec) ?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Cheap? Aside from that being the very definition of 5min anime have you even watched some of the actual cheap shit running this season like Boku no Imouto wa "Osaka Okan" and Ai Mai Mi?

Well, the bar for the 5min anime has been raised. As I said, Yama no Susume and Mangirl in this season looks much better, to which I should add PuchiMasu as well, as well as Teekyu in the last season. What is shown in this anime looks definitely on the cheap cheap side. In fact I would dare to say that it looks cheaper than Osaka Okan and Ai Mai Mi. Makes one wonder why Yamakan was asked to direct and storyboard this (or why he and his company decided to take up this project)

I liked that.

I picked this up because there was no way I was going to pass up Shimono Hiro and Nakamura voicing a dysfunctional duo like this.

I don't think it looks that cheap. You put like the worst screenshot up there.

I wouldn't agree with part that it looks cheap - they change styles, are creative with them so it's not bad here.

But part about being not funny is thing I can agree with, but I will give some time to this series. With lack of Poyopoyo it would be nice to have some funny 5 minutes show (PuchiMasu is closest to it but I'm fan of Idolm@ster so maybe that why).

I liked it. I thought it was pretty funny. I laughed.

And Nakamura/Shimono duo? Umm, count me in.

It doesn't even look that cheap. It has a gag manga's art style, that's all. And it's not meant to be anything but gag, so there you go. Mangirl! and Yama no Susume have a different kind of art style, and better animation, so of course you'd think that it looks cheap. When you compare it to those two.

Man. The shorts this season are really good (not too sure I can say that about Ishida to Asakura though. It was kinda boring.)

I spotted a Wooser.

Since I already watched like every other short airing anime, I might as well give this a go. I'd probably say it's my favorite of all the short series airing so far.

Leveling up from attacking the comrade made me lol.

I also think this is the best (read: least worst) short series that aired this season so far... but that doesn't mean much. Poyopoyo is still the prime example of how you can use the 5 minutes format to your advantage. These shows? Not so much, can't say I'm too thrilled about them.

I didn't like the humor of Mangirl and Ai Mai Mi, Yama no Susume doesn't seem to fit well in this format, Osaka Okan is just "meh" and Ishida to Asakura is weird as hell and I don't know how to feel about it yet. At least this series has an interesting concept and potential for funny gags involving tropes from the fantasy genre and RPGs.

Also this short is funnier than all the other short shows this season combined x2. The Seiyuu duo do their job perfectly. And did I hear Jouji Nakata?

Also, that comedy duo is just perfect.

Very funny series so far, nearly all of made me laugh. I thought it was the op playing, but I guess it was more like the ed, didn't expect another short series. Still, it's very enjoyable.
The voice of Ross (Royal Soldier) is the same voice actor for Tomoya from Clannad.<- just wanted to point that out, I knew I recgonized his voice, and so I checked.
5/5.

Can someone tell me why they are releasing this-lenght series?

You meant "still" instead "are", 'cause that's not a new thing, every season brings a lot of 2~5 minutes anime. Why? It's so much cheap and almost everyone can watch (Japanese people are usually busy).

I don't see why it is 'cheap'. That is what short anime are. The episode was quite funny, I will watch some more and see if it stays interesting or gets boring.

Don't care abot your shitty opinion, this is definitely the best out of all the short comedies released this season. I don't even know how you can imply that mangirl or yama no susume which are both pretty bad as comedies, look better.

I'd say that this definitely poses a better comedy than Mangirl or Yama no Susume. But, Mangirl IS a comedy, Yama no Susume isn't really.

But yes, this show is comic gold. And it fits the short format quite perfectly ~
