Falls Down Stairs

I found this show rather hit or miss. The first 6-7 episodes are all pretty consistently funny, then for a while it has lots of mediocre and bad episodes mixed in with some pretty hilarious episodes. Give it a try, and if an episode isn't making you laugh don't be afraid to skip it (there's not really any plot to care about, except maybe a bit near the end).

Imagine if a bunch of anime nerds got together and decided to create a show about what it's like for anime nerds to try and create an anime show, but they all failed miserably, and now they're back- only they found that the key to getting episodes finished is to trip out on 'shrooms and snort speed. This will still leave you underprepared for Excel Saga. Episodes go from depressingly dark and slow, to hyper-cute and fanservice, and everything in-between and often several times per episode. You might be watching a dark tale about the plight of the modern worker, and suddenly the image goes out because the animator is bored and wants to do something else, so the show follows the animator arguing with the characters about how he didn't really like the first half of the show, everyone dies a horrible bloody death including the animator, and the producer has to animate the rest of the show. Got it? Me neither. If you try this one, go all-in and just finish it no matter how crappy and confusing it gets at times. The good parts of the show are too widely spaced to possibly recommend a specific portion to watch.
