The bad animation really seems to be getting worse. And wasn't there at least some semblance of a plot at some point?

Seems to be plenty of plot here.



Yeah I'm behind, just catching up. This is getting absurd. I still think it's in a good way for now.

e: Oh hey, tentacles. Hmm...
ee: Man I just don't even know anymore. This show is going from ridiculous in a bad way to ridiculous in a great way and vice versa every ten seconds.

Pretty sure at least half the animators are dead at this point, based on the quality

The animators had their Anime Attribute stolen in the midst of the episode. This anime is actually a true story.

An idol and her producer fight an honorable battle to the death over whether she has to braid her hair or not.

The QR code shown in this episode is a web address, specifically the official Twintail LN site.

I was really hoping it would be Dark Grasper's contact info.

Dark Grasper is a really fitting name for her, given her obsession over Twirl's tits.

I've never watched any of the shows that this was referencing, but guessed that they were references because they're the kind of cheap places that some of those Japanese superhero shows would use.

Also, there's not nearly enough love for the alligator's siscon ringtone

The best part of the show just might be whenever the Ultimaguils' otaku-ness gets highlighted. Like this and the laptop.

Looks like Tailred is going to get powered up with Dragguildy's twintail attribute at some point, judging by one of the covers.

This show never fails to be incredibly dumb and entertaining.

Mitsuka having an over dramatic breakdown when he saw the president was great. Owlguildy is great. The mothers in this show make no sense and are great.

The mouthpiece saying LN are real literature also says that Twintails are his literature. Even though he wins the fight, I'm not sure that we the audience are meant to agree with his viewpoint.

Pretty much this. I really wish they would draw out the gilly fights, they're the best characters in the whole series.

All the budget for this episode went into coming up with the joke for the resolution of the gattai scene

All those screenshots make me realize I would watch an entire episode of a show, or maybe even an entire series, with super minimalist detail like that.

I dunno, I know it's "bad" but it has it's own appeal.

You want to look out for episode four of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which is also another fine example of gattai too.

There were at least a few cuts missing entirely, weren't there? It wasn't as bad as that episode of Wizard Barristers, but it was the second most obvious production disaster I've ever seen.

Response Type #1: It takes a while and some amount of popularity before An Abridged Series can be made

Response Type #2: Good Tailred, you look kind of coolHEEERRP

Response Type #3: "it's own appeal" *referencing where character is drawn missing her pants*

Haha, I didn't see that.

Yeah, I obviously didn't mean I wanted an anime full of :downs: faces, just that the screens above have this heavily outlined, almost cel-shaded look with minimal facial details and a high contrast/washed out color palette that I think is sort of bright and cheerful but also obviously out of sorts with this show. The first two pictures get that across far better than the last two.

But I'm also one of those guys who thinks after an entire console generation of games that the original Valkyria Chronicles is one of the best looking games ever, so I'm probably a softy for that effect.

I honestly chalked that up to some sort of "charge-up" effect because the colors are just way too far from the regular palette to seem like a simple mistake. At least, to me.
