Anime of the century and ugliest show of the season just ended (I think).

Who ends a show like this on a cliffhanger.

I can't believe I watched the whole thing.
>>143465374
Ace Attorney was uglier.
JK Meshi already aired this century.
Holy shit she's fucking dead.
>>143466168
Also a strong contender after it already won AOTY 2015.
I loved it but JK Meshi was still better and AOTD if only because the disgusting food recipes were hysterical whereas the crane games were not applicable to my lifestyle.

Dat mid-jump freeze frame as the credits rolled. Feels like a 70s movie.
>>143465498
It jumped the shark when it introduced Dark Gorilla. There are still so many unanswered questions. Why were they trying to destroy the Earth? Where are they from? Did Saya become an idol too or is she going to train other idols? Is she a gorilla?

Well, even though manager-san turned out to be the gorilla all along, at least there was a literal gorilla despite that.
And it was hilarious.
And that's all I really needed.
The chibi designs were really cute.

there is a lot more story to tell.
I found something funny about how all the voice actresses are idols, besides Kyouko who's a regular singer. Asuka and Tokiko newscaster are in Love Live. This is gorilla CEO Saya:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fZiy-Nh_g0
By the way, the song and costume are for a short made by the guy who created Hacka Doll the animation. It's worth a watch if you have 95 seconds.

Mirai singing anison covers dressed as Reina. How many can you recognize?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7zafZn_nxQ
Nacchan's a pretty good dancer, not as much a singer. Skip to 18 minutes to hear a cover of the AnoHana ED. Also, she seemed to wear this dress repeatedly which is moe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppm9A0yO-3w
There's a small playlist on Youtube of her own songs from years ago. Each one is progressively worse. The last two make me crack up they're so bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYmzq09B-K4&list=PLgnVxR9-jnwAPJppTwUQAWT5vMebKfzig
There's little yellow stick figures jumping into her cleavage on this album cover.
Reminder that if you're planning to watch LLS this summer Mari is your favorite raibu.
>>143473155
She's cute
Peep that symbolism. I also just realized the numbers on their collars are ordered by age with Kyouko as #1 and Mirai as #3. They were either picked at random or it's a Japanese thing.
>>143473367
Any of the live segments translated?
>>143474424
No, I haven't even seen raws of most of them.
>>143469600
How? Why?
>>143473585
I Googled her before because I was curious if there would be any results besides JK Meshi. She surprisingly has a sexy gym body and is the oldest one in the cast (turning 28 July 6th.) Used to be a race queen. Not what I would've guessed.
I like her amateurishness and enthusiasm for these irrelevant shows. The spirit of Flash anime is how rough around the edges it is so she's perfect. I hope there will always be Kyotoma masterpieces with her in it.
The way she talks reminds me of Popeye the sailor. Vid of her rolling around in a giant ball for some Takeshi's Castle sort of show and some other thing I have no description for:

Bretty good, I hope season 2 will be the girls calling out asteroids to smash dark gorilla planet.
I don't know how they did it, but somehow they managed to top the masterpiece that was JK Meshi and create a timeless classic.
>>143477367
Even the first cour?
Did it improve the visuals at all?
>>143477954
both cours and yes it improved.
>>143477736
CGG was cuter and had slightly better visuals and better music. On the other hand, it doesn't have Ruriko.
>>143473978
Thanks, doc.
>>143478649
However, it did have Mirai.
>>143477367
What an absolute mad man. You're paying for all the anime they're making.
You're the reason they can even make a 2nd cour of Crane Game Girls.
Truly a gift to us all.

What will we do about shorts next season? It doesn't look like many will be airing. I assume S2 won't be right away even though an episode of this show can probably be cranked out in a week.

No long ass break then.
>>143481704
That's going to be a short? Anichart doesn't list it as such. Minarai Diva has 40+ minute episodes, too. And anons have convinced me (maybe unknowingly) that it'll be similar to that.
Also, I have no interest in the Show by Rock shorts. Although maybe. All the characters were pretty cute.
>>143482796
Oh, nice. Another short next season then.
>>143483241
>That's going to be a short? Anichart doesn't list it as such.
And then I check after I posted and it has of course been changed to a short. I was going to watch it anyway, but now I'm more interested in it.

I hope it'll be like gdgd fairies.
>>143483943
I think that's wishful thinking. Ishidate is working on it, not Sugahara.
Still. I also want the it to be like gdgd. Hi*sCoool SeHa Girls filled that void well, for a season at least. I need more of it though.
>>143484083
Have you seen the gdgd movie?
>>143482796
It doesn't mention season 2 though so this might mean they're re-airing it as broadcast syndication for other channels.

I could imagine her filling in for Saya as their manager until their reunion. Then again, it's hard to speculate anything for such an absurd story. No one predicted Dark Gorilla. How will they shoehorn crane games into season 2?

I'm disappointed they didn't show the asteroid moving scene again. It feels like forever since I've gotten my weekly dose.
>>143493661
Time skip and they are famous, lazy idols that have split up and are doing their own things until they are rudely awakened by rival idols from outer space! The Dark Gorilla returns to do battle with Crane Game Tech far advanced than human Crane Game Tech this will mean they will have to learn a whole new set of moves to defeat their new rivals and save the CEO!
>>143493917
no please that thing was driving me insane
How many techniques will we learn by the end? I'm starting to fear my own strength. There's a 50% chance I could die if I used the super techniques I already know.
At some point the new techniques are going to be too obscure to apply in real life. Unless I'm underestimating just how much you can do with a UFO claw.

Yeah. At least we know she's alive and working. She may have been the least popular JK but all these minor characters with bored voices makes me appreciate her inclusion all the more.
In reflection, the aliens and special waves that link with space seem so logical. The writer took the UFO Catcher motif and made it the theme. The part that has the least to do with crane games is probably being idols.
