Has anyone else noticed the pattern going on with this show? First episode was creepy but the second episode was normal. Episode 3, girls rubbing lotion on each other, creepy. Number 4 was the start of the school finals, totally normal. Episode 5, masterbating fairy ear girl, creepy. So I predict episode 6 will be normal and the schools final match will end in victory for L85 and M16. But then after that we will probaby get a beach episode and someone will lose a bikini top while sako stalks funco chan and gets horny. I hope sentai releases a box set with only the even numbered episodes. Smile

What about people who would only watch with the DVD set? Episode 6 would be mood whiplash without 5 to set it up.

I have to say one thing about this anime. Britain doesn't use the L85A1 anymore, it uses the A2 version, which is many times more reliable.

Testyal from the CBB? Kind of surprising meeting you.

Anyway, what prevented Upotte from getting on TV in the first place? Haven't worse shows aired this season?

It was a Webcast anime on Niconico. I guess they decided to air it on TV later due to positive reception?

I've never seen a ONA before, though. I don't think a single anime has aired on the internet exclusively (barring episodes 11 and 12 of Madoka).

There are quite a few ONA's out there, whether or not they ultimately get picked up for TV broadcasting has nothing to do with the fact that they exist. It comes down to wanting to use streaming as the main or only form of broadcasting medium for whatever reason, money, content, whatever.

Even if FAILimation were to release this and even if they decided to be selective about which episodes to release, the ones to release would most likely be the odd numbered ones.

No, that's a terrible view to have. As for future episodes, spoiler[Sako transfers again school because she can't take the school over, but leaves Galil behind. And there is a beach episode coming up, but it leads directly to the next big battle arc.] Aside from Sako, I'd say the fanservice has been pretty tame, even the clit/trigger is far less suggestive than shows like Juuden-chan, Hen-Zemi, Seitokai Yakuindomo-I can keep going.

That's a pretty interested release strategy. I can totally see something like that working out. haha....

Not sure why this ONA is now getting a broadcast release. Given that the production committee will have to buy air time for it, I don't really see the point. Everyone who is interested in the show will have already watched it, so why spend more money on promoting it?

Just seems a bit odd, is what I'm saying.
