Armin Arlelt schools Blake Belladonna on rock subsubgenres

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-03-17 20:18:53

They're actually really, really different, but there a lot of bands that take elements of both, so the joke is funny on a couple of levels.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:19:57

I think the best part about this is that it's just something that randomly happens in the background and has no connection to the rest of the show at all.

Girl on the left has been in maybe a third of the episodes, girl on the right doesn't even have a name.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:21:26

Most of the show is more like this.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-03-17 20:21:35

Weird.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:22:52

It's actually a pretty great show but it's definitely not for everybody.

You should watch it! The episodes are only about 7 minutes long and it's on Crunchyroll.

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:25:12

stupid jokes and arguing about metal are both pretty teenagery, imo

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:25:24

also something interesting about the show is that it passes the Bechdel test but fails an inverted form of it, there are dudes, but they only ever talk about the girls.

I am not saying I wouldn't watch a spinoff where Okako is lectured by different people about metal.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:28:03

really my only complaint is that it's pretty fanservicey, sometimes egregiously so.

which kind of runs counter to the show's theme in my own opinion!

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:28:05

sounds like more of a horror comedy

that's kind of reductive in this particular case*

its main selling point in my opinion is that the cast actually act like actual girls their age and as such it's a bit more, I don't want to say "realistic" necessarily, but believable than most of these "cute girls doing cute things" comedies. The girls have personalities outside of being a comedic trio.

*it's usually not though.

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:32:04

they are also all named after stereotypes, you know?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:32:15

if u don't wanna take my word for it CC and Epitome also like it a lot

yes but there is a reason for that

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:34:35

how would i know their names if i didn't watch the show

bammm......

anyway i think the intended demographic is still female-likers

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:35:41

Sure but that's every anime.

All I am saying is that I think there is a bit more to it than that.

Imipolex G · 2016-03-17 20:37:58

I've never really understood the hostility some people have toward fanservice, but

this runs about five minutes longer than my anime attention span so I guess I can't watch it anyway

Did not see that when I posted my response. That was pretty funny.

Although the initial joke definitely fits this vibe.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:41:48

It's a lot of sex and feminine hygine jokes and it's uproarious most of the time.

Also people get really mad about it for some reason, but that's the anime community in a nutshell.

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:42:43

people get mad ab out ten minute shorts?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:43:59

I have seen people be mad about the subject of some of the jokes (pubic hair and periods), people be mad that one of the side characters is overweight, people be mad that Galko called a black man "handsome", people be mad that there's not enough porn of it (which lmao)....

we are not talking about reasonable people here, we are talking about The Anime Community At Large

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:45:43

Imipolex G · 2016-03-17 20:46:15

a black man was handsome??!?!?!

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:46:32

oh that's a goodn'

anyway yes everyone watch Galko-chan.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:48:52

oh hold on I forgot the best thing about the whole show

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:51:16

Imipolex G · 2016-03-17 20:51:35

"Otako makes fun of Galko's nipples again"

maybe this is for me after all

I have seen this joke in at least two other shows and I don't understand what it's a reference to.

Klinotaxis · 2016-03-17 20:55:19

i think the joke is just that she's congenitally unable to express emotions but tries to do that anyway

Salix Babylonika · 2016-03-17 20:55:59

no the specific "yay yay peace peace" thing with the pose and everything

Crystal · 2016-10-10 00:48:41

I actually found it cute that all of their names began with artificial understandings of each other that they just rolled with after getting friendly. Which makes sense. It's pretty much The Struggles Of Being A Girl with a comedic bend to it (alt: "Man These Things People Say About Girls Sure Is Dumb"), but the focus on character interaction - such as Otako's teasing of Galko - makes it work as, well, a comfy show that's a bit more than CGDCT? I mean as Like they're all lovable and fairly consistently portrayed as simply good people acting in ways that are more immediately easy to relate to than other chill cute shows.

I kinda didn't find the fanservice as apparent as Jane did, apparently, but agree nonetheless. Anyway, aight show.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-10-10 00:51:16
