I'm kind of wanting to check out this show because I like stupid premises taken to comedic extremes, but there is a fear in me that this thread is just trying to pull a long troll and I'll be walking into Cross Ange turned up to 11 or some poo poo.

Apparently there's some sort of positive correlation between dumb and awesome.

edit: I've run some calculations, and it appears that it's not quite so simple. If my theory is correct, we can expect the dumb to continue to increase, but the awesome to level off, then decrease. The scientific graph below illustrates my disturbing findings.



This is a good theory, I would like to know more.

Man, these first few minutes are so slideshow. The voices are so earnest and the face so blank and unmoving.

Yeah, this show would be even better if it weren't so drat talky.

It's pretty obvious they had no budget for this episode. Two cases of rather extreme quality, lots of stills, and lots of talking to cover up lack of action. Unfortunate; imagine how ridiculous this could be with a budget.

Episode 3 had some creepy bits and the show in general likes its camera angles to fixate on rear end, but I'm enjoying the poo poo out of this. Seriously watch it.

There's been a lack of budget throughout so far. It's probably the worst part of the show, though it does keep the creep factor down as well.

That twintail super saiyan thing from draguildy was amazing.

What are they gonna do now that the big bad is already defeated 4 episodes in though? Are they just gonna play the ressurection twintail love thing straight? I guess that would be the obvious thing, but seems a little too straightforward and predictable.

Its not really. Like a running joke so far is that you'd think something is going to turn horrible but they just default to touching hair. Pretty much everything seems to be making fun of otaku culture.

Pretty sure that Dragon Guildy isn't the biggest bad in the Ultimaguil. IIRC I read something about his defeat being the end of the first book in the LN series. And Tail Yellow hasn't even shown up yet so there's got to be some badguys for her big guns to be useful on.

I'm willing to bet that Tail Yellow's gear will somehow be made from Draguildy's remains

I'd be shocked if anyone believed otherwise, especially given Masked Twin-Tail's exposition on how the Red Tail Gear was created.

Hopefully we get some power ranger style baddies next, who transform into giant monsters rampaging across the city, tying girls hair into ponytails or applying specific colors of nailpolish and other inane poo poo.

You will like this show, but you'll have to give it a few episodes for it to really crank up the lunacy. Don't worry, it has a looooooooooooooong way to go before it becomes anything like Cross Ange.

I don't know, the first episode is pretty crazy on its own. The show pretty much immediately puts all its cards on the table and if you're in then you're in.

Wait this show is adapted from a light novel? It's so much dumb fun I thought it was an anime original, and also I have no idea how it would work in written form :psyduck:

Prediction: The show will turn to poo poo next episode. First Blue and then Red were unmasked on the field this episode, and of course Yellow will have managed to take recordings of that with her invisible drones or something. She then turns obsessive possessive (forcing herself into the role as Tail Yellow along the way) and everything becomes a horrible romcom.
