Excel Saga is more like EVERYONE IS ON DRUGS SAGA!
This anime is 90`s version of Gintama because most jokes are hit and less miss to me.
It`s like making fun of common anime cliches and to deconstruct it.
All these moments and randomness are blended done right.

Story
Plot is not that good but every single episode is just stand alone episodic fun, the episodic formula is using the same formula as Gintama but Excel Saga came out before Gintama.

If you expect the story to be serious then you`ll be disappointed, just watch it for the randomness fun, over the top fun roller coaster ride, and crazyness.

You`ll see tons ... of references in this anime like Mobile Suit Gundam, Space Battleship Yamato, Dragonball, Captain Harlock, Ginga Tetsudou 999, Di Gi Charat, Hokuto No Ken, etc.

Art
It`s a good art during the 1990`s era, i like the blend of Moe and Gar in this anime.

Sound
I like the OP theme song, the rest are forgettable.

Characters
Excel is your typical energetic obnoxious girl, i find her annoying at first but i ended up liking her, i just like her motivation through out the show.

Hyatt is your typical Yamato Nadeshiko archetype character, she`s bland because she do nothing but vomit blood and get sick most of the time.

The rest of the characters are entertaining and fun to see in my eyes.
Also Pedro Domingo is like 90`s version of Madao because his entire life is full of suffering until the Power of Afro kicks in.

Enjoyment
I marathon all episodes in 2 day, this is the most enjoyable anime from start to finish, it`s been ages since i enjoy all episodes of anime i`ve watched in the past.


Here`s what i learned in Excel Saga

-The Power of Afro Hairstyle is more powerful than Power of Friendship
-Robots came out of nowhere make this show better
-All the cliches are making fun of cliches, more like deconstruction of cliches
-Humans can have sex with the Universe, Universe can get Pregnant
-Dogs poop during romantic scene
-Cute characters are the deceiving ones
-Everyone is on drugs
-Nabeshin is the best self-insert character in every anime ever (Nabeshin appeared on Sket Dance anime too)


Excel Saga is the Best Comedy Anime of the 1990`s era but it`s not a perfect comedy.
If you like Gintama then you should give it a shot, if not then ignore it.

HAIL ILPALAZZO!!!
GLORY TO ILPALAZZO!!!

Teekyuu is the low budget version of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes.

Plot :
There`s no plot, this is stupid and whacky at the same time but i like the Humor, nothing special.

Art :
2cute4me

Sound :
OP theme song sounds cute, the way they talk is way faster than Eminem Rapping.
...
Characters :
All the characters were on Drugs and they derp around everyday.

Enjoyment :
More Enjoyable to watch if you don`t use your brain while doing drugs.

Overall :
This anime is fun to watch if you want to waste your time.

Am i the only one here who likes this anime?
This is the most underrated anime this season but i love it due to fanservice.

I wonder why is this underrated? just because the characters looks familiar?
Asuka is the original character in this series but the others look familiar.

Let`s see.......
Ikaruga looks like Imai Nobume (Gintama)
Katsuragi looks like older version of Toshino Kyouko (Yuru yuri)
Yagyuu looks like Twintailed Laura (Infinite Stratos)
... Hibari looks like Madoka kaname (MSMM) with Nia`s eyes (TTGL)

oh wait.........
the villains reminds me of Naruto characters fushion with other anime characters.
Homura akemi (MSMM) + Killer bee (Naruto) = Homura
Kuroneko (Ore no Imouto) + Itachi Uchiha (Naruto) = Mirai
Kurumi (Touhou) + Zabuza (Naruto) = Yomi
Yuuka Kazami (Touhou) + Orochimaru (Naruto) = Hikage
Elly (Touhou) + Sasori (Naruto) = Haruka



I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE WATANABE TAKASHI!
