(L+CR) Punchline (Noitamina)

[revive4563]

Either way, those pun play in this anime itself is lilbit childish.

Agreed. These two episodes were pretty entertaining already, and i have the feeling this is gonna have a huge payoff, where even details that seem irrelevant now (like the book Mei finds outside her door for some reason) will make sense, probably when Yuta is able to choose more freely where he lands after his time jumps.

The cat porn running gag is hilarious, especially in episode 2 when Yuta implies Chiranosuke is doing it on purpose.

Spoiler for Episode 3:

Things are slowly getting serious the more the pacing progresses. A lot of things that might seem irrelevant at first are now part of what would become an unexpectedly intense story despite the visuals the initial themes explored in the series. It is now revealed that Meika is an humanoid Astro Boy-style and the fact Mika show her true superhero face right in front of others surprised me. Too bad that Yuuta did something not cautious enough at the end of the episode.

My blood is boiling so bad that I'm eagerly awaiting to see what will happen to the next three episodes since the last one of such will be the anime's turning point. I'm already having my hopes getting rised a bit, all it had to do before the last few episodes is resolving a lot of important questions, like why is Ito becoming a NEET as we may knew it or who the hell is Mandala Gandala. We'll find out about them soon...

This remind anyone of Death Gun? (in terms of character design)


And quite an episode this week especially with the revelation of an android identity. The Christmas outfit part was cute though along with the overall tone of the comedy.

So , Will Yuuta remain a ghost for the entire series while somebody else use his body to make Harem and become hero ?
I was really hoping Yuuta to go back to his body or atleast manage to contact other characters rather then just watching them.

I think , Its Maika's father who took over the Protagonist body !
Off course , There is hardly any difference between Yuuta & the guy processing his body.
So , May be The Yuuta's body is taken over by his future self.
May be , Somehow The Protagonist Time-travel and process the body of his Past-self .
After all , The cat said that Time & Space mean nothing to a Ghost !

[ChampDream]

So now we have a robot and an asteroid falling to earth, also it seem we have some clue about who took over Yuuta's body, plus it seem he was learning to be a heroe?
I'm also surprise the little bear is special in some way.

Meika is Doraemon, Strange Juice even calls her Meika-mon and makes a Nobita face when she does. Also, Yuuta is a lolicon?

Apparently so. He went straight to asteroid mode this time...

Series keep managing to be amusing and intriguing. Another new thing we learn is that Rabura's turtle (or is it any turtle?) gives people connected to the Qmay some kind of "Justice punch" powers too, which isn't that surprising when we look to their symbol.
It seems everyone with powers have some kind of special trigger to use it. To Mikatan, is it Meika's voice?

AnotherYuta seems to have some special connection with Meika, which makes him sound more and more like future Yuta with more knowledge and potential than the current, spirit one.

I was actually reminded of the old animated movie "Wizards" by Ralph Bakshi at first glance....

I ... really am just not sure what to make of the series still.

This episode was at least a little more engaging than last week's.

To be honest if it were not for the repeated assurance from one of the VAs for the series that things get good half way through I prolly would have dropped this series after this episode.

At present though I ... just don't know. :\

[revive4563]

Well after all, you would drop it, if you don't like atmosphere (characters, art, music, panties).
It is not logic.
The situation is getting serious gradually but even if there is no real plot, I like this somehow. (not only for ero)

btw I think that Doraemon's parody was bit persistent.

[jeroz]

Glad to see so many personal interpretations came true, especially the part about the asteroid. The android part caught me out though, but it also opens up another question as to who that inventor was.

So what we learnt this week that can't be extrapolated from previous episodes:
1) Bear has insane healing ability and that there are people wanting to abduct it
2) android, and that the future was known ages ago
3) body Yuuta wants to do vigilante stuff as well
4) there's a camouflage possibility, which could've already been used
5) the residents can get outside, but it's still in the middle of relatively nowhere.


Lastly, this is such a welcomed reference of an iconic character

Ah, thanks. That was the only one I didn't get and was thinking too hard on 明香 = メーカー = 'maker/manufacturer'. (Posted the puns early into the thread)

[Tyabann]

Well, that was -not- who I was expecting to be the robot!

My first thought was either Jin-Roh or the mooks from The Spirits Within.

It's a really common design for super-soldiers and the like.

I would not exactly read that as "it gets good" but more "the meaning of certain things will become obvious" or "all the cards will be on the table, if not turned face-up" if you get my drift

I mean, from my POV it's already good, but I'm pretty familiar with the writer's other work, so

Or childhood friend-con, since eps 1 did show a young girl saving Yuuta, and that girl has identical hair colour and hair style as young Meika. hehehehe



For the record, Yuuta saw one set of panties earlier in the episode, that's why Chiranosuke is telling him not to look as it already knows the next one is doom for earth. And that meteor-slam is on purpose too, as I'm guessing it's pretty much a distraction so it denies Yuuta the moment he needs to recognize who exactly is that girl in the picture, but gives us the viewer some more clues.

So now, finally, after three episodes, the show is starting to show some interconnectedness between random parts of the show. How'd the professor know Mikatan is coming, I dunno (some theories include that the professor is Yuuta send back in time), but I'm afraid it's already too little to late by this stage of the game.

Can someone explain that pun about Yakushimaru Ritsuko and Christmas Tree?

[Benigmatica]

Since the door is already destroyed on Yuuta's room, I guess it's safe for him to go there... unless there's more barrier talisman stuck in every nook and cranny!

Still, it's a surprise that Meiko is a freaking android!

This ep was overflowing with puns and cultural references, but that one went over my head. There is a singer and idol named Yakushimaru Etsuko, and maybe it was a joke based on that. But why a Christmas tree then? No idea.

No, that was much earlier. He didn't have the red hair anymore, and we even saw his panty-meter reverting back to zero again a couple minutes after that first time.

So yes, the loli alone made him go straight to meteor time (although one could argue he looked at the picture twice in a row, even if the first time was just a glance).

[SinsI]

Some Fridge Logic: who was filming "Rabura, stop the bus!" scene so that Ito could confront Strange Juice with it?
