Just saw ep 2, and it was bloody brilliant. So much dark humour and social commentary underneath a facade of cute and happy go lucky. This might potentially be my favourite of the season if it keeps up. Sword Art Online has a serious competitor, though it's insane to compare the two since they are so different. I'll just admit I'm just really liking Tari Tari because of "fanboy" reasons more than merit reasons, so realistically it's outta the picture.

The potential for Jinrui is that might turn into a lesser version of Penguindrum of the year. What's even more surprising is that it's Seiji Kishi / AIC, which have dirt low track records for me - Seiji Kishi loves his silly fratboy slapstick business as shown in Seto No Hayanome, Baka Test, Angel beats and Persona 4, whilst AIC is LN adaptation studio 101 JR (SNR being JC Staff). But here the unlikely duo actually shows massive amounts of creativity. Is it the source material or did the duo suddenly come out of the basement?

Anyone who is not watching this series is seriously missing out.

As a sidenote, ANN seems to love the hell out of this show. Not surprised given the black, dark type of humour.
