After watching ep 2 of this, I think I like the show even more. It really reminds me of the old Saturday morning cartoon that had "villian/ monster of the week" plot lines. And I kinda like the fact that each episode is split into 2 parts. I haven't seen a show like this in a while, and I've never seen a anime quite like this. The crude humor doesn't bother me very much, so I'm gonna continue watching.

Unfortunately, I found ep 2 to only be slightly better than ep 1. Again, I'll withhold full judgement after a few more. I'm waiting for this to really find it's strong points, which I think it's still grasping for.

Ep3 - 2nd short.

They will be hard pressed to top this. So many puns and euphemisms.

I don't even know what to say ... That episode was just .....wow. This series is by far my fav out of the currently airing anime. And somehow i really like the outro.

I still like the second part of episode one the most but this one was just crazy lawls.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Really enoyed this show after watching 3 episodes. I think it's one of the anime which combine succesfuly both japanese and american styles. Really.
Apparently few people here compare it with Powerpuff Girls. But honestly, Gainax is the one of the best studio for doing references.
Example : the highway sequence from Matrix Reloaded was just awesome!

Anyway I am very glad to see finally something different and enjoyable. The 2 characters are very funny and their personnalities are very... ahem... intended xD
This time : no "please-Oni-chan-big-eyes-loli-stupid girl" but a true nymphomaniac, fuck yeah !

I enjoy more Panty and Stocking than Gurren Lagann actually (but I am not a big fan of shonen/mecha).

I tried Gainax, I really tried. I can honestly say that this is the only Gainax production that I don't like. :/

Does anyone know how is the reception of japanese public for this show?
I am just curious to know if japaneses enjoy such this animation style.

I find it hard to express just how crappy I find this show to be.

Learned a valuable lesson though, no matter how bored I get, don't repeat last weekend when I watched ep 03 and 04.

There won't be an ep 05 for me. I'd rather watch paint peel.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

Seriously. I just don't understand. I just feel like this is a failure of immense porportions. I could make arguments about story or content or taste or whatever all day long, but I don't think any of that really exists. I think the show's only good point might be the flashy action sequences and animation style, so I could see decent amvs made. I might have liked this when I was 11 or 12. Oh wait, I did, it was called Ren & Stimpy. But even Ren & Stimpy was very witty (I can still watch and appreciate it today), despite it being mostly fart jokes. P&S is just boring to watch :| I do have to give Gainax at least some credit on the show though, they are pushing the envelope. Come what may, they aren't making some equally boring moeblob stuff just to sell DVDs (will be interesting to see where this one ranks on the sales charts) and will hopefully learn from their mistakes. Some would argue against that, but hey, you like what you wanna like. Hatters gonna Hat.

@Mirko: This is a first for me though, I've watched and enjoyed every other Gainax show to date. I think the one I liked the least (besides P&S) was Ugly & Beautiful World, but it was ok at least.

I feel a bit like the people saying it's boring are from a different planet or something, but I don't have a reasonable argument about it (at the moment anyway, certainly).

At any rate, I was reminded of something in this thread

If I was to try and describe the show, I'd say it might be something like "Gainax's fanservice side taken to Gurren Lagann proportions."

That's a very good description actually. I hate fanservice for the most part, especially when it gets in the way of story, so that would explain it. Storyfag vs Servicefag? /me goes back to Jupiter :awesome: :awesome: :awesome:
