I just saw the first episode and I don't see any other thread so I guess I'll start one.

Mangirl. It looks like another series of 3-minute episodes with incredibly rapid-fire dialog. The nominal topic is a bunch of girls (must be post high-school because no school is in sight) are trying to start a manga publication without experience.

First episode, funny enough. I am for some reason reminded of Yuri Yuri played 2-3x.

Can anyone say what "White Autumn" refers to? Must be something good. Sounds salacious somehow.

I checked out the first episode, it seemed alright. Actually I did not even really realize it was rappid fire dialogue, it is much slower than Teekyuu, actually everything is slow compared to Teekyuu. I guess it is the crux of only being so long, I was hoping this would be longer, there seems to be a lot of shorts this time.

Took me a little while after reading some comments to realize how odd the title actually sounds.

I am interested to see how this goes as the first episode was rather negative at their plan succeeding since spoiler[they are expecting such a large loss.]

I saw the first episode and I liked how the show started off, along with the funny introduction of its characters, I look forward to watching this every week.

Thoughts while watching on Crunchyroll:

1) GAH! Another Goddamn 3 min show! Were these always this common in Japan and CR is just pickin up more? Or are more of these gettin made?

2) Oh, I get it! Its not "Man girl" its like "manga girl" squished into one word Anime hyper

3) Eating out division? Ohhhhh myyyyyy....

4) I thought it was ok, but this could have been a full length series. I might keep up with it, but I aint gonna make it a priority

Same "OHHhh!" here--I'm guessing it gets translated into "Manga Girls" for the dub

It was an alright series for me. I mean, it's only 3 minutes. The title does sound odd but what the hell, I'll just watch this for the laughs.

Honestly I thought this show was pretty awful. The characters were the same 'ol boring tropes, and they were trying to cram WAY too much into 3 minutes. This might've been okay at a 15 minute or 30 minute run time, but in three it was just way too rushed and unfunny.

Episode 3. How did that avoid getting censored?

Episode 8:

Well we finally fount out what "White Autumn" is. Unfortunately, it isn't spoiler[as dirty as I thought it would be]. But it's still OK.

I had completely forgotten about that. I guess with so much crammed into 3 minutes, it's easy to forget some things. At least they spoiler[sold out] at their booth
