Ha! Not that it is any less enjoyable for me, but that is how most of them start out.

Yay candy! (I wonder if anyone actually eats it...)

Good ol' shonen formula... it can apply to anything, including janitors...


YES!

As a Grocery Janitor myself, this comic tickled me, although I don't quite get where the sawdust covering vomit comes from. REAL skill involves cleaning it all up leaving no trace of it so that (in my case) customers don't track it leaving any black marks.

Oooo, I hope UMD DX is picked up by AS this year! Or, can someone tell me when volume one will be available?

Nah, they'll just butcher it, and the dub will suck anyway. Razz

Hey! I found the fansub of this series last night! It was so awesome! I can't wait for the tournament cleaning arc!

At this point I can't decide what I find more humor in, the comic or some of the one-liners in this thread.

...and I just can't help but play along. Very Happy

I can't believe they're going to show this on Toonami! It'll totally be ruined when they make five gazillion edits! Plus dubs suck! I won't buy the DVDs because the dubs are on it! Plus, the fansubs I downloaded are way better because they swear! Now when I go to school I'm going to see some lame 12 year olds wearing Daisuke t-shirts from hottopic, stupid posers!*
*Sadly, I didn't invent most of this rabid fan ranting. I've seen these kinds of comments every time a shonen anime is broadcast on CN.
Great job on the comic, Robin.

It's rumored to be the main story arc of the next season, UMD Final Plus.

Proof why shonen anime is the best. The "variety" is unrivaled. Laughing

Well, if you can imagine it, you can make it into a shonen action series. This comic really hammers that point home. Brilliant. Laughing

Unfortunately, I can easily imagine a series like this existing in real life. I find myself simultaneously amazed and horrified by that possibility. Anime catgrin + sweatdrop

Can we put UMD-DX in the Encyclopedia next to Cookie-san no Newsroom, pleeeeeeease? Great comic and great parody. This is like one of those times when a show within a show takes on a life of its own, I want to see more UMD-DX! Though, isn't the way everyone's reacting to UMD-DX a testimony in itself to how easy it is to make popular shonen series? Wink

You must be new here if you don't know who wrote it by now.

I honestly don't get it..

Do I need to watch more shonen? Laughing

It's the other way around. If you do get it, you've watched enough.

"Daisuke, you overly-spunky brat!" Anime hyper!
And am I the only one who thinks the janitor sounds like Rower from Naruto Abridged?
