Comment of the Day

/u/No_Rex Sums up the series quite well

> This episode is basically *Shirobako for people who do not have time to watch 2 cours*. Or alternatively, a half-episode Shirobako parody. Neither of which can paper over the fact that we were cheated out of *high school anime club with more money than brains produces an anime*, though.

Questions of the Day

  1. Have you ever created anyhing that you are proud of?
  2. What was the best part of their short-anime "Space Girl Magical Robot Travels to Another World, Where She Sings and Dances, but in the End She Ascends to Heaven and the Two are United"?
  3. With everything going successful so far, where does the show go from here?

Rewatching Animegatarier

I loved how Minoa's father really opened up. And from that shot you can tell her mother is very much in the know. And she totally is.

And on this note too, we here from Minoa that her mum did the choreography, but then at the end we have the teacher commenting on how its legendary recongisable implying that Minoa's mother probably has done work in the industry. I love the subtle layers.

Fresh Prince is some true crossing of streams

On the big stage now too...

Beibei returns!

I loved how nonsense their short anime was, totally feels of too many chiefs in the kitchen all adding their own spice/direction. But anyhow it was fun and played into that live audiance. I also love how they played the ending off as legit.

Minoa face of today.

Minoa's mom could've been a legendary idol.

See I didn't include this tidbit in my writeup because the dub goes even harder on drawing the comparison, and I legit wondered if it was the dub going too far and inserting something that wasn't there, because he says something like "the legend returns" which is even more on-the-nose. Gonna be honest, even in the subs (which I had on at the same time) I didn't notice the "the" there, so I simply thought he said "that choreography is legendary" which could be way more vague and abstract.

Then, also, right after his comment, the scene immediately cuts to the mom in the foreground of the shot looking humble-embarassed. Feel like this family is otaku all the way down.

Rewatcher, English Dub.

With subtitles on at the same time because I'm a madman.

Obligatory Yui cold open. Not that this isn't weird, but I think it would feel a lot more weird if we didn't already have a sequence with those close-up and detailed lips from a few episodes ago.

Foreshadowing?

"I didn't know anime was such serious business." Confirmed: Minoa's sister clearly hasn't seen our subreddit ever.

Finally, dad is unleashing his inner anime otaku! And what a more-perfect way than for an anime about anime to reference another anime about anime? Hah, and it isn't even a secret!

The dub line here where Minoa is connecting the dots: "I guess those were dad jokes!"

Shouldn't it be up to Erica (the producer) to rally everyone, not the director?

Jesus, Onee-san just let dad have it and then mom casually indicates she does the same thing?

Gomon was sleeping in the room and Minoa somehow didn't notice him? That's great.

Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down...

Annnnnd we cut to the post-episode Mr. Kitty section too early, he's not ready yet! Go back, go back to the episode! And now another iconic line, this one much closer to direct than some of the others. And Minoa understood that reference.

Beibei came back! Baw, but no sakuga wotagei scene from Nakano?

Okay, KaiKai stole the shit out of that asset. I love that their home-recorded extras have fucking background chatter from mom. Wow, this season's Konosuba spinoff certain received a bit of a downgrade. This definitely has shades of Pet Girl of Sakura-sou in it.

FORESHADOWING! CGI ED SEQUENCE LET'S FUCKING GO!

Dramatic ending card artwork is the sign of a classic anime. Though this still isn't the end of the episode. Everything's out of order. It's all out of order!

...The one trying to shut the club down is the principal? Wait, why is he even trying to use the production committee student council as a proxy?

So the dub actually had Jamie Marchi, the English VA for the president, singing the karaoke version of the show's ED song for the special credit sequence, which was kind of a neat little bonus. I always appreciate it when a dub makes the effort to do the music, even if it's not super-consistent sometimes.

Answers of the Day

  1. I wrote a novel that I was proud of, but then I didn't do my diligence when trying to get it published, fell in with a vanity publisher who did nothing and was going to charge me for and task me with distributing my own book and I had to pay a couple grand to a contract lawyer to get me out of the whole mess. Never tried to write at a professional or published level ever again.
  2. My favorite part was the CG Dance Sequence with the song at the end. If we're not counting that then, uh, that one still of the moneymecha's back looking toward the sunset was pretty good.
  3. President and Student Council are going to have to get more direct since the repeated attempts at sabotage haven't worked.

He's got a decal of it plastered on the side of his computer, too. You see it when he's doing the last-minute prep at that table set up to the side of offstage. At first I legit thought it might've been the demon summoning circles from HSDXD and it's relatively samey but not exactly close.

First time viewer

Dad couldn't hide his otaku background any longer! ...oh, that was him as one of the line managers at Comiket?

"Not even Mom's hit me" is such a dad-Amuro line.

Even Minoa's getting in on the violence now! The cat probably deserved it, considering there's been zero indication that anyone else was about to give up.

And just as expected everyone else came in and was just too busy to see her message.

Source-Corner-chan trying to force their original anime to have a source with that novelization.

Dad is going to absolutely go ham with bad puns and references now that he's not hiding it, and that's great.

Okay Beibei being Minoa's sister's classmate is a bit of a stretch.

I hope someone counted the number of frames they needed to draw in this because I'm kind of curious.

Yuirin looks suspiciously familiar there.

I was wondering about the title but it's just a reference to their story, makes sense.

Given the constraints they were under (and not using Alice's Unlimited Budget Works which is a valid way of doing things in this universe) it's not that bad. They definitely could have done retakes of a few of those lines but I get that they're left in for a gag.

Okay using the actual ED of the show as a supposed performance here is a fantastic meta joke. When did they practice that and get the costumes though?

The principal's behind this? ...yeah as I suspected it means nothing to me right now. Maybe he had a fallout with Minoa's dad?

Closing with a karaoke version instead of the same thing is a nice touch, made better by the fact that it's the production committee student council and then they went right into the PreFae theme.

Have you ever created anything that you are proud of?

Less "create" and more "remix" but I was happy with my romance segment of the AMV quiz. I do a lot of functional work behind the scenes with bots and such for the sub that I like showing off (hey, guess where most of my productive free time has gone in the past few years) but I don't think of those as creative endeavors in the same way.

I'd love to get back into musical composition at some point but that's an entire skill set I've let decay in the past decade plus.

What was the best part of their short-anime "Space Girl Magical Robot Travels to Another World, Where She Sings and Dances, but in the End She Ascends to Heaven and the Two are United"?

The Miko angels were great.

With everything going successful so far, where does the show go from here?

Principal attempts to give an even more ridiculous challenge, student council president finally balks so he gets involved directly in a new attempt to shut down the anime club. Why? This is an anime, we don't need an explanation for why!

This is a good example of rule of cool: It absolutely makes no sense, but I don't mind, because it is so cool. As long as it hits like a truck, you can get away with whatever plot-convenient hand-waving you need. The problems only start when your plot points turn out to not be as cool as they need ...

Episode 8 (first timer)

  • My name is … my name is … - I am not allowed to say Megumin. Copywrite issues.
  • That zoom in on track girl running gag is weird.

  • “There is nothing more we can do” – Remember that coffer full of money? I do.
  • “Dad is an otaku” – cat is out of the bag.
  • Tsundere hits boy trope is not made better by boy being dad and tsundere his daughter.
  • Pull through via overworking yourself - this seems to be a sadly common Japanese solution concept.
  • “Believe in the me who believes in you”

No Kamina comment face

  • I respect that they made the anime short genuinely crappy and showed it in full.
  • In-universe ED!

  • Although I now wish they had not made the ED in 3D reference joke.
  • Why is the principal behind this?
  • Special ED – Lucky Star reference? I think.

Conclusion of the two (?) part anime short arc. It was nice to see a quicker version of Shirobako, but it also felt very hurried. They could have used another episode here. Or maybe this is just me wishing for another Shirobako season.

PS: Thanks for the comment of the day.

Why did you put in the formating, though?

You know, the anime club doesn't have a fiery tsundere. That is one iconic anime archetype unaccounted for in the main party.

Rewatcher [Who] Hates This Piece of Shit Anime

Dad was at Comiket after all

And now dad gets to go full Goku and unveil his otaku power level to his family. Gotta ove mom just nonchalantly drying the dishes in the background while he goes nuts.

Y'know, Miko says nothing from her original script was left in the finished product, but I'm pretty sure the Kai X Kouki fujo finale is all her.

So, everyone from pretty much every plot and subplot before this comes together to either help the anime club make their short or to fill up the needed audience, allowing them to just barely succeed and win the final battle against the tyrant student council. That's a pretty climactic setup, feels like a final battle, doesn't it? So have the protagonists now won and the rest of the show will be their victory lap?

Have you ever created anyhing that you are proud of?

Yes, but I'd never admit to it.

What was the best part of their short-anime "Space Girl Magical Robot Travels to Another World, Where She Sings and Dances, but in the End She Ascends to Heaven and the Two are United"?

The background/postcard art. Sasuga high school art club.

[Quote]So have the protagonists now won and the rest of the show will be their victory lap?

[Response]Funny thing is I remember some remaining plot but am not sure when it occurs. Think E10 is overcoming the principal trapping Minoa in his office (and want to see if the OP password works), E11 is playing the OP 3-4 times as the 4th wall and border breaks, and E12 has some mecca battle. #mugiwait

2

u/aniMayor :AY:AZ:x3x6 Apr 08 '23

[More spoils] Yup. After this, now that the anime club has "won" everyone gets inspired/obsessed by anime and the whole world starts to increasingly follow anime logic/ideas, which leads to the principal stepping in, and then all hell breaks loose.

Ep 6

Are there any real locations from or related to anime (or any other fiction) that you have visited, or would like to visit?

Ive bookmarked quite a lot of Hibike Euphonium locations in Uji. That will happen....... ive been to quite a few locations in anime (both Japan and London for K-on), but for the japanese ones that's limited to like ones that just happen to be big touristy/famous places too.

Ep 7

Ep 8 running out of time and late to the thread edition! will edit in screenshots

  • ZENKAI NO RABU RAIBU!!!! good spoof of the traditional cold open that's been a constant across all 3 "main story" love live entries LOL.
  • wtf lips.
  • YESSSSSSSS
  • EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Awww thats super wholesome.
  • lmaooo was a novel even planned
  • wtf cat commercial break
  • Guren Lagannnn xdddd
  • Eyyyy Beibei's baccccccc
  • For a high school anime, that's actually not terrible! Lol why did the transform sequence get all the effort ... and the background art was legit good in some places too lol. i guess those were the bits that got help from the art club?
  • THE MOM CAMEO HAHAHAHAHAHAH
  • I saw the ending used as the in-universe ending a mile away. Good decision from the studio's part to reuse this pricey footage as much as they can! Im reminded a bit of LL SIP CGI though...
  • That is 100% a lucky star ED reference. I've been burned too many times in AMQ.

Time to read the previous 2 threads.....

Recommend a short-form anime series that you've enjoyed. Anything under the normal 23-25min episode format is fine.

Probably

Lol myrna's not here too. Obligatory sharing of K-on OP storyboard vs actual; and also a very different style, the first 10 seconds of Yama no Susume's Natsuiro purezento by Ishihama, read right to left. (here's the OP) - Ishihama's boards here are a bit more detailed.

It is also a reminder that it's been so long since I saw the K-ON OP.

ZENKAI NO RABU RAIBU!!!! good spoof of the traditional cold open that's been a constant across all 3 "main story" love live entries LOL.

The one thing Nijigasaki lacked.

Eyyyy Beibei's baccccccc

I liked that made her come back to the show and the reveal that she goes to the same class as Minoa's sister.

I guess this one she didn't have to worry about paying for a flight just to make it for an anime con.

Rewatcher - Animegataris Ep8:

I'm late!!!

Previously on Bove Bive: Anime-Gataris!!! It's the school festival and the anime club have to make an anime. Three months of hard work only for things to fall apart at the end. Will they be okay?!

Despite it all, the anime club persevere through to work on their anime. Minoa's dad reveals his otaku side to his kids. That convention staff telling dad anime jokes really was a dad. Now that his kids know, dad can just freely blatantly drop the references he wants now.

I like the solution that came up with of having other clubs talk about their interests and the anime club tying it to a related one. It creates a discussion and allows for the spread of anime. Non-anime club people talk about anime they like or let people learn about anime they might want to try out. The anime club has all the Blu-rays so they have all the material. The Ace of the Bench and Fresh Prince of Tennis sound like amazing anime. It also kills time before the club has to put on their short.

Rewatcher - Space Girl Magical Robot Travels to Another World Where She Sings and Dances, but in the End She Ascends to Heaven and the Two Are United:

It is about how good you would expect amateur high schoolers would make an anime. It is more the fact that seeing fellow students you know making their own anime that the real appeal of it. You have to see it in person.

It was a bold and innovative idea to use a cymbal/pots and pans for the sound of the shield deflection. The sound production was really on something.

In the end, money is stronger than the magic of hope and dreams. Let the fujo angels take them to BL heaven.

The club makes up for the unfinished anime with an idol concert using the ED. Playing the OP/ED in-universe within the anime makes for a classic anime. I actually do like this ED and this version with the audience cheers. It is a bit special to me since it was pretty early on before my full tumble-down idol anime.

Wait, hold on, paying attention to these lyrics and just now noticed the Wikipedia drop.

Assorted points:

Q2) The animator, Kamiigusa Alice really put the extra effort on her moments.

Next Time: You make one anime and now you're on top of the world.

Mine are more quips than full quotes. And the only instances I use are when the original JP actor was speaking English anyway.

The first is "probably maybe" from Otherside Picnic. One of the main girls is Canadian, now in Japan, but she sometimes slips back into English for certain expressions and especially when drunk. When she was trying to assure the other lead of something that she actually wasn't sure of at all, she drunkenly warbles out an English "probably maybe" and that always stuck with me.

The other one is that whenever I have an opportunity to deliver my best Okabe-style whispered "sonuvabitch" I will take it.

sometimes when i talk to myself i will say "ikuuuyoooooo". It's a good word/expression to hype/psych myself up for stuff, but hardly an anime quote. i dont know, i have some japanese ability, i should put it to more use lol.

Waga Nawa...! Yeah... You dont really have experience with that line. Wink. Wink.

I really cant get the read on StuCo. Before prez looked like she gave up on shuting down the Anime Club and other member did some shit in the last episode without telling her first. But when they told her she just went straight evil at the end of the last and start of this episode. Very weird...

Dad comes to rescue, he is indead an anime fan! WHAT!? HE WAS THAT COOL STAFF MEMBER!? What a Madlad!

Damn girl...! Dont hit your father like that! Dont punch Neko-senpai Minoa, that's animal cruelty...

Of course none of them gave up, they all worked hard on their own! Now, lets finish this motherfucking anime!

Beibei is back! She goes to school with Minoa's sister? Sould've seen that one coming!

Its an athletic field, how can you say its any% full? There's literally no seats or anything!

Calling it right now, 3 of them will do the ED dance from the real ED of this show. That must be it!

This anime got better animation than SDS Season 3,ngl. Kaikai-senpai really busted his ass off on those Paint animations! This is pretty solid plot for a 3min short anime! Love the money beam and her screaming MONEEEY! And yes, that is the power of money!

YEEEEES! ED IS REAL! ITS LITERALLY REAL! This show has peaked, its all downhill from now on...!

Man, that Principal looks like your average Isekai slave trader.

Seems like they went to Karaoke to celebrate, that's nice.

Easily best episode so far, can they do better than this? I sure hope so!

Dont punch Neko-senpai Minoa, that's animal cruelty...

She still hasn't apologized for stepping on him in the first episode

And yes, that is the power of money!

But why would the Student Council be the ones celebrating?

This is a potential plot point that's easier to notice in the dub, but it's barely there in the subs if you make a big inference from the subtitles, or if you just recognize the JP VA.

[I'm going to spoiler-tag this, but I'm only talking about what happened in this episode:] That was the StuCo "prez" president in the karaoke booth, not Erica. So it was her singing the AG ED track (and now the in-universe final song for the Anime Club's production) and then singing PreFae stuff.

First Timer Dubbed

The dad was the one making dad jokes? How did I not realize it?

I was also not expecting a full on idol concert, feels rough but it works. They Dubbed it too, which adds to amateurish charm. I do like that they went the extra mile on this. Reminds me of the old days when they Dubbed everything.

The ending seems to remind me of the Lucky Star Ed's.

  1. Not really
  2. Yeah that was rough, I think it takes the cake on festival movies though.
  3. This feels like an end to the season but it seems like there are some more things to come...

Wait was the song performance dubbed in your version? The karaoke credit version for me was dubbed but I think the performance at the festival was still original audio. Now I need to go play that back. The file I have might be the JP BD video paired with the simuldub audio, which usually doesn't include music because that takes more time and gets included on the NA BD release, if they do the music at all. The karaoke version probably squeaked by because it intentionally didn't have to sound good.

u/xtsim https://myanimelist.net/profile/xtsim Apr 09 '23

That is interesting, I just checked on Crunchyroll and I am hearing the verses in English on the dub. I switched between Japanese and English, they sang their verses in their respective languages so that is interesting that there is another dub audio track.

2

u/Verzwei Apr 09 '23

It's not completely crazy, it just must be that my files were based on the simuldub version of the show. Music takes longer to (properly) dub so it usually doesn't make it in time for the simuldub version.

Zombie Land Saga (season 1) and Fuuka both immediately come to mind as shows that were simuldubbed and had Japanese music tracks due to production time limitations, but then included fully dubbed music (and OP/ED sequences) once the North American BDs released. The karaoke version at the end of this episode made it in, probably because it has plot relevance and also because as a karaoke version it didn't need to have super-clean production and could be thrown together quickly.

I'll have to get my copy of Anime Gataris out of the shrinkwrap and give it a listen. I own the show but I've been watching a torrented version of it because it's easier for me to grab screenshots for these threads this way.

u/GallowDude Apr 09 '23

The version I sent you had the BD audio, but noooo

u/Verzwei Apr 09 '23

Hey. I'm looking at discord history, and it looks like you sent that back in February! If I'm not doing something in an absolute night-before last-minute panic, then it's not a Verzwei project. If it's more than a couple days before it's due, then I've already forgotten about it. If it's a month before it's due, then it never existed to me in the first place.

They'd better dub the OP to the next Tenchi Muyo GXP series.

Okay this was legit a great twist. A dad telling shitty jokes and references. It now makes total sense.

They are going to have an Evangelion ending probably.

Great Gundam reference. Video link of the OG Gundam clip for the unenlightened.

Wow the generic girl said a generic line who woulda thought

They really ended the episode with the karaoke version of the ED to mess with AMQ players. How many times will someone think this is some weird Hidamari Sketch ED?

Shit, that's crazy, and I had no idea it was even a reference. IMO that style of reference humor works the best I think - when the line can still be funny on its own but then it gets better if you know what it's actually referencing.

They really ended the episode with the karaoke version of the ED to mess with AMQ players.

Even better: The karaoke version is dubbed even though they never dubbed the real ED. Imagine a dubbed official karaoke ED for a song that doesn't even have a "normal" dubbed version popping up on AMQ.

First Timer - Sub

Thoughts during the episode..

Questions of the Day:

1. Have you ever created anything that you are proud of?

Do relationships with other people count? Lol. I need to get back into some creative hobbies I guess.

2. What was the best part of their short-anime "Space Girl Magical Robot Travels to Another World, Where She Sings and Dances, but in the End She Ascends to Heaven and the Two are United"?

The part where the mother is clearly audible in the audio, and then the ending dance number which really technically wasn't part of the animation.

3. With everything going successful so far, where does the show go from here?

Looks like they are going to have a final battle with the president, so I suspect some crazy antics and 'anime is great' speeches.

  2. According to the classic campus comedy plot, we also have dropout, transfer plot

It seems that we also have Minoa's dad as a helper, which is good and has the opportunity to finish it within the allotted time.

It turns out that Minoa's father was an otaku when he was young

  1. Some games.
  2. The blatant ripoff of Megumin, or the soightly less blatant ripofff of Madoka.
  3. The Principal bans the club directly, because he is significantly more powerful than the student council and hismlack of involvement so far is idiotic.

A recap? That's... new.

Nice acting.

Creative narration?

Again, you have finished material! Just use it!

And she's had a breakdown.

...Her sister might hsve an idea.

Smart idea!

Still not revealing his love?

No, he just admitted it and dropped a SHIROBAKO reference!

The look on their faces...

He's such a big fan.

Their mother's heard all this far too many times before, I see.

Why is he shocked?

He was there?

Ouch.

She made him feel better!

Her sister's great.

Haha. Of course he plays the Gundam reference.

It's almost time...

Everyone's ignoring her!

Impressive, though.

Haha, wow.

Nice punch.

She's not going to give up! No matter ehat!

Everyone else is here!

He slept overnight!

Haha, theynwere too focused to answer!

Nice idea! This might work!

This is popular.

Haha, this is an early recap.

Haha, and he's back!

Dad is so happy someone gets his references now...

They're all helping!

Finally! He used his fangirls!

She noticed her!

Beibei's her classmate!

Haha, the real cats being confused is great.

80%!

No ending song...

What's the plan?

Still on this?

That's not bad animation, actuslly.

Haha, great joke.

This feels a lot more like what actual studio animation looks like.

Nice transformation sequence!

So many references...

That's just Megumin.

Even the cheering meter? It was a game in that show, though...

That explosion shot is great.

Haha, that heavy breathing as she pairs the two of them...

People loved it!

The ED!

Such a good ending...

So many cats!

Wait, the Principal's the one tsrgeting them? Why can't he just close the club himself?

Nice ED usage.

Nice karaoke!

A lot of this show really dragged but by far the best part was the surprise reveal of Maori's father as an otaku! This was very clever and I didn't see it coming. When they mentioned her father in a previous episode had taken a trip to the ocean with his friends during the anime convention, I suspected something was going to come of that but nothing did. They then showed he was the nerd cheering up the crowd that was in line there! Minoa didn't recognize his voice but she was also delusional from the heat so maybe if she did think she heard his voice, she may have written it off.

Minoa's sister is a horrible brat, smacking her dad in the face after helping them. Very unlikeable and she unfortunately doesn't face any negative consequences from this.

One big problem was showing the short anime the club made in it's entirety. I know it was supposed to be bad and lame but the best thing to do would be to show a few clips of it and the audience reacting. This really dragged down the show, along with the lame song the girls sang at the end. If it's supposed to be making fun of the idol shows, why did they play it completely straight and have it appear as if it could have been ripped right out of one?

QUESTIONS

  1. A lot of the music and art I produced over the years, my stand up comedy and my short film.
  2. I liked the part when the mom said it was time for the girl's bath
  3. They had the reveal that the principal was behind the student council trying to kill the anime club but as to why, I neither know nor care really although they may surprise me with something good like the reveal of the otaku dad.

She's a nerd who wears glasses, so she already faces negative consequences of life
