| It was so much fun to watch this first episode!! :D I'll keep watching this! |
| Death Metal!! \m/ |
| As much as I despise JCS, it's nice to see Kumeta's series in a non-shaft style. Seems like there will be a lot of sh*t getting past the radar... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Reminds me of Yuru Yuri, but written by Kumeta. In other words, awesome. |

| Very nice episode, really liked it. The girls are really nice, liked every one of them, which is rare for me^^ J.C.Staff's style as great and cute as ever, especially loved the ED^^ Oh, and this: domdomdom said: Death Metal!! m/ |
| The ED is awesome! |
| Nice. A skit anime. Anime with most dialogues are rare. Love the negative girl. Ahahahahaha. I enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the next one. |

| As expected from Kumeta Kouji, I enjoyed this first episode a lot. I am really looking forward to the rest of the anime. Ellis-chan said: The ED is awesome! The ED was quite amusing indeed. |

| I was about to skip over this, but this was good. The 4th-wall and self-deprecating humor were interesting, but I found the fan service, dog letter, and shouting to different countries around Japan were particularly creative and humorous. And I like the ending; silly shows should have silly endings, even if I don't particularly care for the style. I'm not sure what subs I watched, but I'm glad they made the effort to localize some of the puns, even if it's not a direct translation of what the characters are saying. |
| Ending was quite good, but nothing else. "A group of girls discuss random things and usually reach an unusual or humorous conclusion that's far from the initial discussion topic." I couldn't find anything humorous or jokes were so dead? MissileSoup - Probably [gg]'s subs. They keep on repeating the same things all over again. I just couldn't find anything to give it a shoot and watch 2 episode. Unfortunately, dropped. Ah, forgot to mention, I'm not going to rate it as I don't intend to finish it. |

arsonal said: Yeah, the ending kicks brain. ;)All I care about is the addictive ED. It's just as crazy as Kill Me Baby. They made this anime entirely to piss off us internet watchers. xD First they make fun of us by saying how most of their viewrs won't pay for watching. Then, they know that Chinonozu said: and say that "This anime was full of simple dialoggue to let the viewers enjoy the cuteness of the girls" to rub it in. xDDDPeople who don't understand Japanese wil most likelyl get butthurt for not understanding the jokes and references [...] Subs won't help you unless the whole screen is filled with tlnotes |
| This was actually surprisingly entertaining. And I liked the self-parodying about it just being about cute girls. And the ED is stupidly catchy. |

| man times like these were i wish i knew a bit more Japanese but i love the ED lol |

Chinonozu said: People who don't understand Japanese will most likely get butthurt for not understanding the jokes and references so this anime gets rated down to oblivion. Subs won't help you unless the whole screen is filled with tlnotes so yeah. Yup. unfortunate too. It is really quite humorous if you like the type of humor (puns and play on words and whatnot). Still, the animation is great, and the ending was the best I seen in a while just cause it is funny. I think it is enough just watching the visualized situations they get into. |

furuuru said: like this. Hahaha, yeah, I was laughing at my free sub downloaded episode! |

JerichoxBarrons said: I didnt get any of their stuff. I feel kind of dumb but Im going to keep watching! Can anyone explain some of the stuff to me? Like the ending where they're pointing at the different areas on the map. Was that to make fun of different countries? See my full review of this episode here: http://animeordie.blogspot.com/2012/07/episode-review-joshiraku-112.html The land may be the four islands in the north claimed by both Russia and Japan, and they seem to be arguing more about it lately in the news. The people may be the movement of people from Japan to China recently. The technology may be either China (obviously) or maybe Indonesia. The submarine reference may be about the Australian fleet getting Japanese subs. The last one is most likely the taxes or recent raise in taxes. I am prolly mostly wrong, as those are rough guesses. Edit: See a few posts up for my mistakes. lol |

kihira said: japanese butthurt that koreans surpassed in tech field. "give back the technology" <- in other word admitting that korea surpassed japanese in tech. I don't think that line represents the sentiments of all of Japan lmao. If anything, that was the only thing that could make the joke work. No need to get too serious about it :) |

No need to get too serious about it :) tbh that joke was shit. not funny at all. i think no one even laughed. just the problem is that no one knows the relationship and historical facts between japan and other neighbouring countries like the natives of those countries. if american or any other people excluding people from russia or asian countries saw this without knowing the history they would just think that "oh russia really stole the island. oh korea is just nation stealing things from other country, china is copying all the time, etc" manipulating the facts and spreading lies that is what i'm worried about. (i'm saying some would think this way not all of you guys) This will tell you more about the joke in detail and as to why the joke was even used in the first place. |
| So funny, laughed at quite a few moments. Cute ED. This series is a keeper. |

| Sorry but dropped, I didn't even finish the episode because it bored the hell out of me. |
| Wow just wow. So to understand an episode, how many things do I have to learn? |

| Loved it, though I feel sad that I don't understand many jokes because I don't understand Japanese, though it is still quite funny to me. |

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I'm Russian. I had laughed when there was the "give back our land" joke. But it's painful to know Japanese hate us for "stealing their land", we aren't guilty that shitty politics (from both sides) can't negotiate normally. |
 |
| Bunch of little kids babbling. Another set of girls wants their anime this season eh? |
| I love this so far, but yeah, it would be much easier if someone would explain gags, because most of them are really hard to understand for someone outside Japan... Because real metalheads are KAWAII. |

(i'm saying some would think this way not all of you guys) This will tell you more about the joke in detail and as to why the joke was even used in the first place. this is what i don't exactly like. i don't see why some people are just nodding their heads like all he is saying is correct. it is bs except that north korean one. its all fiction.. it is like the logic where tutor charges a kid ton of money for teaching him some little facts. later kid would becoming famous scientist for huge finding and tutor says hey that knowledge isn't the kids but his instead because the tutor told some little fact <- korea's case another logic is where the kid agrees to give the game console for free to another kid and later comes up to the kid 10 days later and says that it is his <- russia's case I feel like I should comment on this (thank you for reading my blog, btw). No where do I say that I agree with Kumeta's political viewpoints in any way. He is as entitled to his own opinions on Japan's neighbors as you or I. As a Chinese-born individual, I specifically disagree with Kumeta's viewpoint on China, but I can take a joke. That said, let's get our history right. South Sakhalin was held by the Japanese until Treaty of St. Petersburg in 1875, when the Japanese traded the land with Russia for the Kuril Islands. The Japanese reclaimed the land after the Russio-Japanese war in early 1900 (I think it was 1906?). The Russians took the whole island back 2 days after Nagasaki was nuked and govern it to this day. Not since 1875 has Japan "given" the island away -- both countries have conquered and reconquered the land. North Korea abducted several Japanese citizens in the in the late 70's/early 80's that is clear as day. That segment is a joke, yes, but let's remember the facts before we dismiss it. |
| ED was so cute. Didn't really get most of the show, but wasn't really bored throughout. |
 |
Well it was nice and fun. Will stick to this for now. Looking forward to next episode. |
|
| While the show isn't boring per say it isn't that funny either. And yes I do get the jokes. It's still not funny. I'll give a few more episodes I guess. Sometimes they do pick up. |

That segment is a joke, yes, but let's remember the facts before we dismiss it. http://www.niraikanai.wwma.net/pages/archive/sanfran.html read this. japan officially gave it up. this was the final treaty between the two countries on that issue i maybe taking this too seriously but his jokes are always going too far sometimes. i know that he has his own opinion but there are somethings not to say in the media. if he wants to say it keep it to 2chan. i wasn't too happy when kumeta says that 'countries that likes to play victim' (reference to korea and china obviously) in szs season 1 episode 12 (i enjoyed the show but there are moments where the joke is going to far) when did korea ever PLAY as a victim. we are just fighting for something that we deserve. even dokdo case is another which japan (playing INNOCENTLY and trying to claim that it is theirs) in korea media they don't go as far as he does. just want him to restrain his racism as much as possible at least in the tv not that he will stop it. The Treaty of San Francisco was forced on Japan, bro. It dissolved all their overseas territories as punishment for WWII. I would hardly call it voluntary. |
| I enjoyed this way more than I thought from the synopsis, though a did miss a joke here and there. I didn't expect to see butthurt over the gags though. Also enjoyed more of Hyadain's work on this one. |

| Although I didn't understand a lot of the jokes/ puns, this was still pretty ok. I especially like how they completely break the 4th-wall though lol. And that scene where they were teasing Marii and stripping her naked was fun to watch. |
 |
| I loved the ED... especially the shamisen part. I immediately looked it up and it seems the Yoshida Brothers are playing it :O |
| Saori Goto :3 That's all I need from this anime. She did a rakugo girl before, didn't she? Oh it was Rakugo Tennyo Oyui. |
  |
| I really enjoyed it even though I don't get most of the puns. And the ED is awesome :D |
