Yeah, I'm becoming confident that applies to Japan-native anime fans too.

Hey now, Kill Me Baby was a fun show!
Oh and it's HL Mencken Wink I am not so sure he would agree with his individualistic, anarchistic free-market philosophy. He was referring to politics and democracy (i.e. deciding for yourself vs deciding for other people)

Kill Me Baby wasn't bad, per say.......

It was just about eight episodes longer than it had any right to be. The "My best friend is an assassin" gag was well played out by then, and there really wasn't anything else to it.


I didn't hate myself however it should have gone the 3-5 minute route on epiosdes instead of a full 24 minute time slot show. I thinking breaking up the gags in smaller doses over a course of 30 weeks would have worked better but yeah this is just a personal opinion.

Yeah I think it might work better that way. Although I don't mind full episodes, it's much better watched weekly or as a break in between other shows than marathoning it

Sounds good to me. I liked it. Maybe the unused character will get more of a part in the series.

It did, but the budget was so tiny that they might of still made a profit. The backgrounds often looked like they were drawn by a middle schooler

Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a cheaper-looking anime.

The show was very funny. Second season would be great.

No second season of
Nyarko Crawling Chaos -> a really funny show
High School DxD-> a great harem
Infinite Stratos -> a top selling blu ray
Kamisama Dolls -> didn't sell as well, but was actually a great show

I will never know how shows get sequels, outside of your shonen jump , it must be a real fluke when something good gets a sequel like Bakemontagari or Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei or Kore Zombie Desu

even Yukimeki Merry deserves a second season before something like this

I was surprised by how much I liked this show, and how badly I wanted a second season after the awesome final episode Very Happy

The thought of spending 400 dollars on this crap amuses me.

Wonderful. It was awesome.

Reibai-sensei was fine being short flash animation. I don't want it any other way. Last episode looked so weird.

Well, well. It's nice to know I wasn't the only person watching and enjoying this.

Cheap animation? Seriously, there's been a lot of classic animation done where the animators would have Killed literally to have Kill Me Baby's budget.

It's an arcane art deciding on second seasons for Anime, predicting tomorrow's weather is more certain.
