Well, at least they’re trying to animate the anime in the background.

Impressions:

I love how that the only way this show could manage to create sympathy for Kirino was to create a character turtleneck whose entire job was to scowl, look angry, and crush people’s dreams. "NOTHING YOU THINK MATTERS! EVERYTHING YOU DO SUCKS! YOU ARE FAT PIG!" You can tell that he’s extra evil because he can barely contain his rage when random fans tell him to respect the author’s work. But clearly he takes some joy out of it, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his time meeting with every single yahoo that wanders in off the streets. That only pales in comparison to how it was resolved though. Clearly, all he needed was for someone to make an impassioned plea about how it’d make the author sad. That’s how the anime industry works. All it really needs is someone’s brother to go in and whine and everything will be better. The mecha they were showing in the background is more realistic than this drivel. Also better animated. Why couldn’t we have been watching that instead? I don’t even like mecha.

Another exciting episode then, where the whole thing is spent in two rooms like statues for about 22 out of 24 minutes. I prefer the room that had random anime playing in the background. The other room was full of ranting, stupidity, dramatic music, and a turtleneck. Not just dramatic music though, dramatic music. I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again, whoever’s in charge of musical direction for this show should be put out of their misery before they decide to spew out more dramatic techno. Of course, the other room was also full of some kind of bizarre space time distortion. Either that, or AIC couldn’t quite remember to be consistent with the posters in the background because those things were moving around more than most of the characters.
