Oh, and since the opening (which should appear to you in episode 4) was done under drugs, the girls are portrayed in bondage (sadomasochism meaning) poses. :) Stalking, hikikomori, suicide, death, bullying due to unsociableness, schizophrenia, illegal immigration, photoshopped net idols…

I agree that I am obviously not the target audience and for the most part it seemed to have a point and it may not have always meant to be funny but I feel that the combination of a satire on japanese culture and comedy derived from characters have a certain character trait didn't always work very well and diminished the point they were making. ooh dear sorry about the triple post, seems blogsome didn’t like my comment initially for some reason, shoulda been a bit more patient.

and i don’t think that western people cannot understand the satires in the anime(maybe some just don’t wanna try),every part of this planet was a culture and i think satires can be found in each one,satires are art so art can be understood by everyone with a open mind and some knowledge

It's a bold show that went somewhere, even if it's not that funny. It's the kind of show that is actually substantive if you think about it.

Some of the comments went way too further than just jokes and it really gave serious offense to certain groups of people... And really I have no idea how Western people can fully understand all the satires in this series. No…you have to realize that not all episodes were just supposed to be funny….

But still good and it was refreshing seeing a series confront some taboos (especially the one about how the original manga must be followed), keep up the great work psgels.

I liked most of the satire element and how the series questioned conventional wisdom but some of it just got way too repetitive. The catchphrases often just seemed pointless and often irrelevant to the thing being satirized or what the character was doing. It's still a good series but I think it knew it and often got a bit lazy.

I think the thing with it, though, is that the jokes aren't the greatest the first time around, and yet I find, when I have some free time, something I've seen in the latest episode will pop into my head, and it'll be hilarious, even if I didn't think it was before. It's kinda hard to explain. But, this is definitely a good series. This was a good one, definitely.

One of my favourite humour series ever for sure. Very nice with a comedy that is not the usual slapstick ecchi. One of my favourite humour series ever for sure.
