I really enjoyed the video game challenge episode. I thought that they were spoofing Legend of Galactic Heroes with the classical music and style of combat, along with the obvious Yamato and Gundam parodies. It reminded me of the hilarious Momotaro episode of Risky/Safety.
Although I agree with most of Theron's review, I still find it odd how popular this series is. I agree that the culture festival episode is the best in the series (along with the Baseball episode) and was impressed at the lip/instrument sync. So many series just loop 5-8 frames to give the impression of music being played. |

I haven't seen Risky/Safety, but now that you say that, yes, that could have been a LotGH parody. There are a lot of jokes like that in the series; I'm sure I missed a ton of them.

Yeah, I said something about that for the review thread for the last volume. I dig me some Mahler. |
