And with that said, a second series is due to air this fall. Of course, since I can't see this series here get a proper and meaningful conclusion in the last few eps. :/

What you are watching here is utter artistic bankrupcy of Jin Kobayashi, the very same that destroyed School Rumble, and attempts by Akayuki Shinbo et. al. to paper over it. In my opinion, not very successful. And now we’re getting more of the same.

“where Kaya tells a bad pun”

That was the highlight of the series. I LOVE puns. I LIVE for puns. They’re just so PUN to do! :)

Overall, I’m still liking this series, although I too, have yet to watch 11-13. I didn’t know that 12 and 13 had even come out, and I was waiting for like 3 weeks for them. Apparently I just missed the releases or something. Whatever.

2. I found it a nice addition as well, but the three cases were all from the Cafe where it fell apart every time (flood @ ep 1, coffee @ ep… 4? (with the maid fuku), and blizzard @ ep… 7? (where Kaya tells a bad pun)). Wish they could expand it to other images or so.

4. I liked Tsukuyomi, though it’s been already ages ago since I last watched it.

5. Well… I like slapstick when it is complementary to a good story, but if it tries to pull of a solo, it better be good. Here, it’s so-so.

5. I like long comments. :)

I love this show. Every aspect of it I find amusing and great. I will obviously need to cite examples, preferrably ones related to the post:

1. The Running Joke with the Salt. I admit, I was starting to get sick of this joke. But then they spiced it up a little bit, and instead of being ignored just when he asks to “pass the salt”, he is now ignored, but the dude right next to him is not. Thus, the joke is saved (for now).

2. I like when they take real life images and randomly put them in to the show. Like when the cafe was filled with soda (or something like that….I can’t even remember what episode that was, but I was so amused that I wrote a post about it).

3. The Time Travel aspect. At first, I was mad, because Hajime didn’t know shit about time travel (the explanation from the picture above), but then he realized he was wrong, and explained it correctly. Time travel makes anime better (generally).

4. I don’t know why, but Shaft always seems to sit well with me, especially when coupled with Akiyuki Shinbo (Moon Phase and Maria + Holic are exceptions….although even those weren’t really bad. And I’ve only watched 3 episodes of Tsukuyomi Moon Phase).

5. Slapstick = Awesome Always (although true, not on the level of Pani Poni Dash….I mean……what is?)

5. This comment is too long.
