Something that makes you laugh? Damn right. And there are things in the world that make you laugh, that don't make others do so. |

Next, here's a full list of why Episode 00 is hilarious: Spoiler:
And I didn't say everyone is going to laugh this much or more, I did specifically state: you need to have good knowledge of sentai shows, love dramas, movie making and be at least near otaku level to understand the jokes. And with such a long list of stuff to laugh at, Its very safe to say that this episode is intended to be the most hilarious.

Besides... believe it or not most people judge other people on the basis of what they laugh at (among other things). People have opinions about me and I have opinions of them. Episode One I found esoterically funny. Kyo-ani worked very hard to portray a terribly made student film (some incredible animation there) that is stuffed with foreshadowing about the series and is filled with a very dry-witted subtle humor.
@C.A. -- heh, I'd probably contest the "must be otaku" point. Reasonable familiarity with anime cliches seems enough to get started but just some appreciation of irony, satire, and other forms of "intellectual humor".

My goodness...After Episode 00 I could barely breathe because I was laughing so much. I would pick a single favorite moment, but there are so many....The lightning bolt sticking in one place and Kyon filming Itsuki walking are among them.
Only three shows have made me laugh this hard....Samurai Pizza Cats, Negima, and Suzumiya Haruhi. Up until now, I never thought that I was an otaku.... |

Anyway, all that to say, another episode 00 fan here. Probably one of the best, most well-executed parody sequences I've seen, certainly in anime. If you liked the episode also, then I'd probably recommend the now-licensed Pani Poni Dash as a must-see once the DVDs come out, although it's much higher on the "random" scale. |

"I was so exhausted already, the thoughts of becoming a voyeur cameraman had long evaporated from my head. Of course it would be a different story if it involved Asahina-san, but I'm not that sick as to want to preserve video images of my own sister! I mean, where's the fun in that?"
i found this..translated from volume 2 chapter 3.....possibly hinting that mikuru is infact, his sister? |

What Kyon meant was he's not a sister-con like other perverted otakus and insane big brothers out there (think Shinn Asuka). While he wouldn't mind making voyeuristic videos of Mikuru, he's absolutely not interested in making videos of his sister. I have absolutely no idea how you managed to conclude that Mikuru is his sister. Maybe I should translate it clearer. |

this anime is based on a novel so you should learn some of those commonly used literary devices and then watch the series again |

i'll even provide a perfect example for you...diplomatic translators that are assigned to presidential meetings...unlike most fansubbers or scanlators...these people are COMPLETELY fluent in the language they're translating from, and the language they're translating to....but that doesn't mean that they know jack shit about good plot design, pacing, good use of literary devices, or anything else a skilled novelwriter would have to know the ins and outs of |
