The parts where Saki is an idol clash so hard with the rest of the show, lol. When did they even get the time to do those ads? Who's coming to record them?
I think I figured out why DTL likes this show so much with that Haruto and L-Elf scene where he promises to only bite L-Elf, since Saki offered the same shit and he turned her down.
Of course you program your mechs to run on human emotions, that's a great idea. I assume they find some roundabout way to get the power or some shit.
That OP is super good though

I have to say, it looks quite nice.
Come on, guys! Are you judging it just yet because they are doing it in good fun? As long as it is entertaining in a crazy way (and that is what this property is all about, after all it is a 'fake' translation on Twitter of a light novel mishmash of ridiculous action-film 'clichés') I don't see a problem nor the necessity of insulting it.
And to answer the question; cross-promotion of other products practically pays itself... music production to showcase, there is a graphical novel too and more merchandise!

Ninja Slayer 1
Well, that sure was something. There were even a few seconds of proper animation.
None of the girls appeared this episode, only the titular Ninja Slayer and a brief look at a potential antagonist. It seems they want to follow a proper narrative with this.
I have to admit, I laughed pretty hard a few times, though the novelty already wore off towards the end. Visual are very garish and at times hard to look at. 15 minutes also seems far too long for this kind of show. I don't think I need to see any more of this.

It even has social commentary on police violence.

How worse is the animation of Ninja Slayer compared to Inferno Cop?
Because Inferno Cop was really rough.

Ninja Slayer 01
Yeah, this seems like a successor to Inferno Cop. The problem for me is that I only kind of liked Inferno Cop and part of that was the three minute run time didn't let the show wear out its welcome. Fifteen minutes is probably too long per episode. I won't drop it right away, but it's near the bottom of my list.

Ninja Slayer is more a mix of Inferno Cop-like animation and low budget frame by frame animation.

I've never actually seen Inferno Cop so I can't compare, but it is very rough. I mean the presentation is pretty funny but I can't imagine it being funny for 26 episodes.
You know how Fin Punch is like 3 minutes a pop? That's inferno cop only IC is funny.
Those are quite some shoes to fill.
But it's what Trigger fans deserve.

I take any rejection of Etotama or Show By Rock!! as an offensive attack against my person and expect mods to act accordingly.
I cant comment on Etotama yet, as Ill be watching that today, but Show By Rock is legitimately good.
I chuckled.
But Show by Rock is actually a good show, don't know why you're lumping it in with Etotama.

I don't want to stop the folks at Trigger from having fun, but 26 episodes of 15 minutes seems far too long for this sort of joke.

Having watched it, there are moments of very stylish action animation ('Kanada pers' and all), specially one climax fight as seen on recent PVs too... Mr. Imaishi acted as assistant AD to Kengo Saitō for this episode even!
Also interesting is Atsushi Nishigori's presence on the OP credits, where great part of it is most probably recycled animation from the following episodes footage... one could think his (hinted before) 'secret' task at the project was drawing the female protagonists 'GORIPON GIRLS style', yeah!
He isn't credited as TRIGGER Inc., staff on it, yet.
It could drag a bit, but if this episode can serve as a initial measure to the alternation between visual & animation styles it was well balanced (the dialogue is equally silly throughout all of it, for sure), in my opinion, which makes it very fresh. I hope it continues like that, and ridiculously done or not there is enough "interesting" material to adapt for this whole series' span.
It's just always baffling when a site that started out as an illegal anime streaming service has their shit together more than Funimation who has been in the anime licensing business for years can't.
actually, that makes perfect sense, as Funimation didnt get into the streaming game until well afterwards. CR might not have been doing it legally at first but they did learn HOW to properly set it up through experience.
Ore doesn't seem to have any more chatter then a few shows here, of course it is just getting its standing.

Well I don't think there is any one show getting a ton of buzz in comparison to the others this season. It's pretty evened out.
Yeah that sounds about right.

Etotama 2
This one is kinda funny. I mean, it's not going to amount to much as a series most likely, but it is fun to watch the silly cuteness of it.

My wife had the funniest misunderstanding ever at the season premiere of Fate stay/night Season 2.
At the end, after Shirou confesses to Rin and it shows them hugging, it cuts to the ending credits and shows those wisp things flying around. My wife thought that they were supposed to be sperm and that it was some sort of allusion to the fact that they were having sex

Ninja Slayer > kill la kill.
Turning girls is still by far trigger's best work though.

Punchline 02
"Because I'm the only one in my family with tan skin."
Dammit, whoever said they had to change her skin color. Not only was her old character design better, but it was a part of her character that had to be neutered. The plot still mostly works even with it changed, but I can't help but feel the series will only get up to 99% of its potential. Otherwise, the ghost rules, while somewhat arbitrary, are interesting to see play out, the girls are starting to get some fleshing out as to how they ended up where they are, and there's plenty of wordplay to satiate my need for puns. Thursdays are fun!
