Really, you think? I don't know, I hope not, it deserves more. :)
Pani Poni Dash 04-05 -- This show is so awesome... very funny, definitely reminding me more and more of Excel Saga, but different. I still don't think it's quite as good as Excel Saga (it's got that "notes all over the screen a lot of the time" thing going on too, like that show, I don't know if I've watched a show I have to pause as often as I do this one since Excel Saga), but it's pretty good. Lots of great humor here.
I still say the cast is maybe too large though, there have to be like 20 major characters, maybe more...
In ep. 5, they're all on a school camping trip, wearing gym shirts and pants. It's amazing how much more "normal" they look to me wearing pants than the usual schoolgirl uniforms... though of course they're still all dressed the same (excepting the teachers) so it's not really that normal (for me I mean).
... On that note, I doubt anyone would be surprised if I said I dislike the idea of schools having uniforms. I know though, in Japan the goal is to make everyone the same, standing out is bad... as an American I disagree with that philosophy. But anyway.
Back to the show, these were great episodes. This show's really good. There's so much random, funny humor... kappas in the woods, shooting rockets off into space? What? :lol Weird humor, but definitely funny. Some things work less well than others, but the majority's good stuff for sure.
... Ichijo, crazy or evil? I guess the joke is "nothing she does actually helps", but when what she's doing is offering poisoned food to people or something, that's going beyond just being unhelpful... :lol And of course she's the class rep somehow, too. I wonder how she won that vote... :lol The fact her eyes are drawn differently from anyone elses is also amusingly weird, though I have no idea why they do it (just to be amusingly weird, probably?).
Haiyoru! Nyaruani 01 - This is so stupid and so conceptually absurd and wrong it was kind of awesome. I mean, I don't know if I could imagine something less Lovecraftian, something even more absurdly ridiculous than that episode and those characters... it's so terribly stupid it's almost good. I might watch more of this Lovecraft-turned-into-generic-moe show, the unbelievably stupid concept succeeded in making me interested. I mean, the idea of Cthulu, Nyarlothep, etc., as generic moe girls.... anime is so, so wrong...
Haiyoru! Nyaruani 02, and the original series of flash episodes or whatever they are -- This show is either the worst thing ever or awesome, and I don't know which... but it definitely catches my interest. It's so, so stupid and wrong, but that's also what makes me want to watch it. Silly stuff.
The Sacred Blacksmith 05 - It was decent. Bland
and generic stuff but decent for that kind of episode, I guess. A lot like a part of the manga, but not quite as good, which makes it way better than the first three episodes...
