I honestly chalked that up to some sort of "charge-up" effect because the colors are just way too far from the regular palette to seem like a simple mistake. At least, to me.

It's likely it was a colored place holder for the CG team to edit over with the actual colored effects but they likely ran out of time to do it.

The QR code shown in this episode is a web address, specifically the official Twintail LN site.

Not at all, beyond fragments scattered here and there.

E: I'm slightly wrong, there's a tiny bit of work done in BT but it barely counts.

Apparently they're incredibly crunched for time, the 2nd airings have significantly improved visuals.

Having Shirobako air at the same time provides a really good context as to how poo poo like this could happen

Totally serious post-apocalyptic backstory-heavy drama anime So Ra No Wo To had an entire episode that was just one prolonged I-have-to-pee gag, this is nothing by comparison.

This is a show that just had a snail-man weep hot-blooded tears over the death of a humanoid worm-child in a miniskirt. How the gently caress are any of you able to take this poo poo seriously enough to be creeped out?

The difference between ideals and reality. The entire twintail dilemma is in fact a metaphor for the idealization of women in detriment of their identity as actual human beings and oh god I can't continue I am no good at this

C'mon man you can do this. Say something as this parallels the Guildy's obsessive natures degrade women as mere objects to be attained rather than people with lives and agency.

Except the guildies' act of taking away a singular, defining attribute leaves an intact person who is not defined by that single attribute and can thus be more fully realized as an individual. Their only loss of agency is in the loss of that one particular attribute. Perhaps the twintails, by essentially making people more uniform, are the real villains.

Deep.

Craptacular!

Fuck the DH
I was hoping the guildy who loves small breasts would help Blue get over her inferiority complex, because it's kind of sad since she's otherwise the one sane person on this show and most obvious audience insert.

This experience will bring him to a new and deeper appreciation for twintails right when he needs the powerup next episode.

Well that's the end. Honestly I found the series to be a fun send up to sentai shows, budget restraints aside it had this earnest feel to it. The show knows it's silly but revels in it's absurdity and actually manages to poke decent jabs at otaku culture.

And we end the series with what is pretty much a mid-season upgrade :allears:

This has been a wild ride. Extremely dumb show, but dumb in all the right ways and especially because it's hilariously self-aware. A serious contender for this year's "should not have been half as good as it was" trophy. Pity about the Beyond Jiggly animation in some of the episodes, though.
