I finally got around to the first couple episodes. I enjoyed them about as much as I might have expected given Shaft/Shinbo, but it's not nearly as lewd as I might have expected given Shaft/Shinbo. I guess this can be my chill SoL of the season.

PS keep the gifs coming

Jesus Christ, they eat so much.

Also, runny eggs and ketchup is eerily like a Denny's. All they need is cigarette butts.

I loved how the mother commented on how they eat.

Of all the Grand Eating Adventures they've had, that was the one that gave them stomach aches?

Just got around to watching ep. 9. They have been eating things for a year. I'm pretty sure that that is physically impossible, and they shall burst.

I think "penultimate" is my favorite word. But no, it seems to be slated for 12.

Watched the most recent two episodes. Still an alright show, though two episodes back-to-back might be a bit much. What else is a man to do whilst awaiting Shirobako?

The downstairs neighbor was super annoying, but I liked how she got into the weird food thing they've got going on. Heck, I suppose "that weird food thing they've got going on" is pretty much the central conceit of the show. Perhaps less central than "moe." I guess I just like it when folks comment on our main characters' strange reactions to flavors/textures.

The second episode was alright, but only tangentially related to food. I feel a bit disappointed. I imagine that Ryou's parents are just rolling around in a pile of cocaine. Terrible Mexican drug lord parents.

I don't think it had nearly enough head tilts, random cuts to kanji on monochromatic backgrounds, and Shinbo's head to be peak Shaft. Then again, I might have been a tipsy, tired, and stretching during it and therefore missed these things. Heck, I'm still two of these.

As someone subbing it tipsy and hunting for the aesthetics which made me do things I didn't want to: This ain't it, way too honest. I feel sorry and drat you faggosaurus that it isn't, but eh, it's life.

I'm sorry, I tried, but I can't parse this.

Finally got to the last episode. Solid moe SoL to the end. I like how they danced around the fact that their downstairs neighbor is totally going to be their HS teacher. I'm OK with it being setup for a second season, and I'm OK with it being a simple running gag.
