A moment's cursory reading reveals this is the same director as Daily Lives. That explains a lot.

Yeah, I need to edit that into the OP. What's his name?

It's also the Gintama director (and I believe one of the Gintama writers is doing the writing here).

Definitely feels like another one of those shows that crew is doing in-between Gintama seasons. I mean that as a compliment.

Series Composition is by Michiko Yokote, which is a pen name for a group of women who've done everything from Princess Tutu to Patlabor. They're real vets, and seem to have started doing more and more original stuff like this and last season's SHIRO BAKO.

Both the director and writer are perfect for this show, basically.

To destroy evil you must become an even greater evil.
It's going to be real interesting to see how this show justifies its existence past the first episode. It's really rushed through a lot of the established tropes for magical girl shows already.

Interesting, I didn't know it was a pen name for a group! That does go a long way towards explaining why they do a nice job with comedy, always great to have more people to bounce jokes off of.

They'll do it by being more than just a bunch of tropes over and over, obviously.

Found the official US site for this, and included the English page for Wombat and made pages for the Chevaliers and Zundar. Just in time for episode 2!

I enjoyed most of this episode, but the villian-of-the-week conquest didn't make as much sense as the chikuwabu one!

Also Zundar climbing into the cup was pretty cute.

Battler, the literal stupidest man on earth. Why are you even here, Battler, why did you come back to this place so you could fuck literally everything up?
'Kay, the opening rules. The boys rule. The bishie student council bent on world domination rules. Their hedgehog boss what crawls in a teacup rules. Mr. Wombat rules. The fact that Mr. Wombat killed the gently caress out of the homeroom teacher and really is dragging around his corpse like a puppet rules.

This show rules. I will watch more.

I guess cheap wooden throwaway chopsticks tend to break asymmetrically instead of splitting evenly often enough for some people to despise them.

No need, I changed my mind after the older brother showed up.

I put this in my CR queue after watching ep. 2 and I'm officially on board til the end. The puppet corpse teacher had a lot to do with it. Also the villain leader transformation sequence was too funny.

I hope "dumb things the older brother thinks" is a regular gag. I'd also like to see different extended transformation sequences so they all eventually have one, hope it's not just the team captains that get one.

According to the preview next episode is focused on Cerulean, so if there is one we'll see it then.

I fail to see how this isn't the gayest thing in the history of anime. There wasn't a single thing not gay about this episode.

VV No, there's no lip touching, but it doesn't make it any less gay.

I mean, the villains' evil plan was to wipe out humanity by making all boys gay which was beaten by a heart-to-heart talk about self-respect so if you think about it, the episode wasn't actually gay at all.

And we never learned who won the beauty contest, what the gently caress.

Now now, we know who the target demographic is for the disk sales in this show so dont expect the boys to actually kiss.
