Kyoani has precedents for random one off idol segments.

For all its faults, Kyoukai was really well-animated and knew how to parody certain common tropes when it felt like it. (For those who didn't watch the series, these flashbacks were never actually portrayed in the series and it's a huge pisstake.)

The idol episode was when I realised I hated Kyoukai no Kanata.

I like comedy and slapstick (eg this entire show) but not when it's so utterly tone-deaf compared to the rest of the production. It stuck out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way.

Well yes, it had a lot of faults. But again, the visuals were drat good and were prettymuch the highlight of the whole thing. Sadly the tone and story were pretty off.

I like how much they played up the AV thing and the contrast with her personality was already a good gag by setting up audience expectations and kicking the chair out from under them, but then added yet another gag with the twist of what she meant by "AV".

I do like how they got his voice actor to imitate the stylings of the mascot characters as they pretended to be him. I thought it was pretty drat funny watching Kanye's rep getting more and more twisted.
