Apparently this is one of those two minute flash things. And it was awful.
Teekyu’s approach to comedy seems to be “throw as many bad jokes at the audience in two minutes as you can and hope some of them stick.” They even make the characters speak faster so they can fit more bad jokes in. Unfortunately, none of the jokes worked.
Why do they even bother making crap like this? Surely even the creators must be self-conscious enough to realize how awful this was.
Better get the shows I know are going to suck over with first. This one has “onii-chan” in the title, so it’s going to suck. Continue reading Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne — First Impression
I’m back! Time to catch up on the new season. I’m way behind, so this may take a while.
Ixion Saga DT is a parody of a fantasy series. It has its good moments (such as the defeat of the final boss) but I’m not sure that the buildup is worth it. The more generic fantasy components (the middle part of the episode) were not that entertaining. Continue reading Ixion Saga DT — First Impression

This is a side story to the original Saki, where are lesbian high school Mahjong hijinks continue but with a different cast of main characters.
The shows biggest problem is that the new cast of characters is weak. Everyone in the world of Saki has both some incredible quirk for playing Mahjong or some incredible personality deficit. For example, we have people who can see into the future, people who wear rabbit ears, and people who speak with ridiculous accents.
The original Saki’s main cast was the same. We have Nodoka with her crazy math skills and deformed body, Saki with her crazy powers, and taco girl. Not boring. Not at all.
But Achiga-hens characters bring nothing interesting to the table. They are all lifeless. The craziest personality trait that any of the girls has is being constantly cold. Whoo-hoo. In terms of crazy Mahjong superpowers, two of them are more likely to get specific types of tiles. How exciting.
The best part of the show is when the original cast makes cameo appearances. Not exactly a great selling point.
