I don't have time tonight, suffice to say that Blue (more accurately Blu) used the words "territorio assoluto". This is Italian for "absolute territory", aka ZR.
Her trasformation used the surswhatever, the stinking fish, but considered the use of Italian it might be a low key reference to Piero Manzoni's "Merda d'Artista", aka his own feces in a can*. Fascinating artist, Manzoni.

If we add Anarchy (which obviously represents UK, I hope I don't have to explain the connections here), and we compare these foreign elements with the use of traditional japanese (eg the flag in episode 1), it's clear that there is an internationalist message.
Similarly to how other otaku related anime approached the matter (see: anime gataris), animation and 2d industry is a whole is presented as something that united people all over the world.

This sort of peace lead by Japan through soft power is one of those beliefs that shape a country.
In fact, it could be argued that this has been Japan's plan since the defeat in '45.
Their constitution was the first in Asia that put such a strong emphasis on peace, and it might have been on purpose.
I have a text, whose name now escapes me and I can't find in my library, that argues that Japan wanted this (edit - "the making of modern japan". Probably, it's on my amazon orders). Once they realized that they couldn't be leaders in Asia through military power, they were going to be through peace.
(The usa kinda flip flopped on what Japan should have been because initially they wanted China to be their ally, but had to change plans when the commies got in power. This uncertainty gave Japan the freedom to do so.) 

*It is also possible that they used Surströmming as a way to connect more countries, in this case Japan (Kusaya), norway, and Korea (Hongeo-hoe).

I guess otaku hero is the commander/admiral/sensei of this show. So far.
--- 251354620
Is this show good? I saw the trailer on youtube randomly and that was really solid, but I wonder if the show itself stands up the trailer
--- 251355109
I feel like this frame has something to tell. There are a lot of cropped images where the colored lines connect from one to another. Most obvious is the one with the green and red lines superimposing one another from the bottom right. If you look at the smaller version of the current image on the left, you'd see that the red line cropped from the bigger image connects to the dotted line under the bridge and points to Anarchy. The image with Anarchy and Otaku Hero actually moves to where this line is heading. So it's ultimately leading to a path where they'll meet a cat and while being followed by a "Green". The journey stops after being confronted with "Green" revealing itself as some "cactus"? Finally, at the third iteration of this frame, it actually repeats the cropped image of the cat and being followed by "Green". This means that this whole appearance of the cat and green is the turning point of Otaku Hero's recurring "dream".
--- 251355154
>>251354620
Have you watched Akiba's Trip, Animegataris, Nurse Witch Komugi (the old one, not the remake) and other shows in that vein? You'll probably like it then.
--- 251355174
>>251354620
Visuals and soundtrack are cool, plotwise opening and ending are more interesting than both epidodes
--- 251355187
>>251354620
Why don't you go watch it and decide for yourself?
it's on the second episode, not much of a time investment...
--- 251355315
>>251355109
Also note that the image on bottom left has shades of blue and pink supporting the idea that this image is them following a path. Another thing to notice is that at some point, their balloon that they will "use to annihilate the enemy" gets destroyed, leading to their defeat.

THe OP/ED is really good. It keeps my hopes up for the anime. The ED reminds me of SZS  has it really been 16 years :_: 
--- 251356249
>>251352473
>In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. The court concluded that it "had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate"
I thought they were playing it up as a joke, but it looks like the smell of this stuff can actually be weaponized
--- 251356269
>>251351949
It's coming. There's a lot more here than I expected inside the episodes themselves.
>>251353537
>Through a country lens
Honestly didn't even consider this angle, nice.
--- 251356557
>>251356249
Oh it absolutely can. If you ever want to try it, and I question your sanity on that point, open it outside. Wear clothes you don't mind burning afterwards. 
If the juice gets inside you house or in your car, it's fucking impossible to get the smell out.
It's just not going to happen.
--- 251356678

--- 251356709

--- 251356843
>>251355109
Cat could be Blue related. Her bow is kinda cat-ear-esque(especially in the shot in the OP where they all morph into each other), she likes to eat fish, in the bit with the irl cat both Anarchy and Pink are drawn but not Blue. Also if the author is going for some more on the nose inspirations there is a certain popular VN series with a scythe wielding, cat related, blue hair "magical girl" you could say. That's just a completely random guess though I have no idea
--- 251356989
>>251356843
I also think Blue is cat related (its in my schizoanalysis) because there's a shot of a real live cat and Anarchy/Pink are riding it with blue nowhere to be found.

Flip Flappers had a same kind of second episode but that was actually good

By the way he mentioned in an interview he liked this band and what do you know

Black hair and black fur. Also, aren't there tropes of female characters that can transform into cats?
--- 251359384
>>251354620
this show has absolutely no plot, but is fill with NON-STOP ACTION! It goes hard and just when you think it stop being hard, it goes HARDER. It reminds me a lot of panty stocking.

I need that shit DIRTY. I need it ABRASIVE. I need it be SCRATCHY like I'm using sandpaper on my eardrums like the op of this show. Like crystal castles "love and caring" song; HOWEVER, I also need it to have a beat or some kind of percussion backbone. Can this "gabber" genre deliver?

>>251359949
Absolutely, just listen.

I saw the trailer but there's a random jap boy in it so I decided not to watch the show since it's probably harem trash

Alright, I have all my notes compiled and my format ready. I got done with the preface and production sections before reconsidering the effortposting I've done in the past here.
I'm willing to put in the next hour or two of work to transcribe my 32 open tabs and labyrinth of notes into a readable format for you, but will anon actually want to read this shit? Take a look at my bones below and let me know.

>>251361474
--- 251361499
>>251361433
tl;dr the 2008 and 2011 dates are very relevant in my opinion, and I don't think it has to do with Earthquakes or Madoka.

Look up the Akiba Massacre and then look up Bill 156 and the Youth Ordinance Law that sprung from it.
--- 251361507
>>251361373
Otaku-god...
--- 251361561

--- 251361656
>>251361561
It may play a role, but I think you'll see what I mean when I finish what I'm writing (that the Akiba Massacre and Ordinance Laws appear to have a much stronger link to the narrative than your usual Japanese apocalypticism and Magical girl synergy). I will consider the earthquake as I type it out. As for Madoka, there is more relevance there from material I've dug up thus far.

Thank you for your responses I have confidence to finish at least what I've started. See you tonight, hopefully sooner rather than later but we'll see where the wind takes me on that, time estimation is a bitch.

Fuck you guys for making me care about what the story of this show is instead of just mindlessly watching it every week
--- 251362356
What does the flowers mean? Also that other girl with a flower on her head
The otaku also has similar flowers as Pink. Also dumb theory but I think Blue represents the body, Pink the mind and Anarchy the feelings/soul/rebel. Don't know Purple yet 

Hope our shizotheorist can explain this to peasants like us
--- 251362480
>>251362356
Forgot to add to what this anon said:
>>251356843
I also think Blue represents the Curious Cat from Wonderland Alice, aka a manipulative/liar. She definitely looked suspicious when she said "I knew this would happen", plus the whole blue pill thing. Also she is the only Magical girl without 2 ponytails

(Plus I'm laughing at this season getting 2 blue magical girls called Azul who are into maso)
--- 251362542
So this has a gacha?
--- 251362573
>>251362356
There was an anon that explained the irl names and meanings of those flowers. Check the archive.
>>251361373

--- 251362904
>>251362356
Here >>251313853 →
>>251362542
From what I understand the gacha is an AU where Otaku Hero was never in the resistance. It takes place in 2023 and has mahou shoujos based on specific otaku culture things, like a bishoujo game magical girl for example
--- 251363003
>>251362356
Blue's flower is Lycoris which symbolizes death but also is known by the nickname "naked ladies"
Pink's flower is the Kasumi flower which is purity and everlasting love. She's also growing them out of her head because of a popular Japanese idiom "Garden in your brain" or "Brain Garden" which basically means her mind is in another place. This also happens to Otaku Hero at the end of the OP which ties into what I'll say there.
Purple's flower is the Holly which is known as a "defensive" flower, and also has connotations to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
I still need to identify Anarchy's flower, my flower autism doesn't know it off the top of my head.

>>251362573
His work is all over, I've looked at enough of it as of right now to get going.

Anyway I have to focus on my write up so I'll stop responding for now at the risk of missing some good schizofuel ITT. I have too much as it is.
--- 251363047
>>251361373
I was going to drop this show, but this seems like a fun rabbit hole to drop into

>>251362480
Do you mean Cheshire Cat from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Didn't quite get those vibes from her, but then again I wasn't particularly looking for it
If you're looking for potential Alice references, then in Pink's brain world constant size changes and general nonsense are very reminiscent of the works of Lewis Carroll. Plus the whole predator-prey aspect and its subsequent reversal in the elephant scene is a key aspect of Wonderland

As a sidenote, when it comes to schizo-overintepretation, we really shouldn't forget to include the classic id, ego and super-ego. In this particular show's case, I leave it as an exercise for the reader

>>251355882
>>251363697
Look like white lilies, which symbolize purity and rebirth
--- 251363969
I cannot identify the egy ptian girl in Anarchy. Is it really the Egyptian girl?
--- 251364011
>>251363849
>>251363862
While the western symbolism is all about rebirth (and is much more concrete and emphasized) I do think its worthy of mention that the Japanese flower resource I use lists white lilys as a symbol of virginity and purity. I think the western idea is more likely but provided for your speculation.
--- 251364050
Feeling some Flip Flappers OST vibes at this scene.
--- 251364080
There's merch in the show that vaguely resembles the main girls. Might fit the schizo theory of them being a product of imagination.

“In that direction,” Kyotaro said, its right paw round, “live Bluefags: and in that direction,” waving the other paw, “live Pinkfags. Visit either you like: they’re both schizos.”
“But I don’t want to go among schizos,” Anon remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said Kyotaro: “we’re all schizos here. I’m schizo. You’re schizo.”
“How do you know I’m schizo?” said Anon.
“You must be,” said Kyotaro, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
--- 251364848
It might not be the direction I originally thought it'd go, but I'm still confident with my "none of what we're seeing is real" theory. What originally tipped me off was the magical girls' magic. This doesn't seem to be a world that had magic before the otaku repression, and doesn't show any reason these three girls alone would have been given magical powers. The little mascot guy too, Kyotaro, has no reason for existing; I originally thought he was just in Otaku Hero's mind, but everyone seems to be able to interact with him. 
Maybe it could just be a case of "this is just how things are, don't question it", but too much about this show feels deliberate. I'm much more on board with the theories about Otaku Hero being in a coma after the 2011 earthquake, especially after this new ED

--- 251365281
>>251364080
Yeah, I'm buying into the product of imagination more and more. Basically OP goes like this:
>girls are set to go to some production facility gated by tvman (I think the plant Anarchy was holding have some meaning)
>Otaku Hero brings the blue fish (blue pill?) with him to the production facility
>note that the girls ignore Otaku Hero
>girls transform in the facility(into produced goods?)
>Otaku Hero returns the fish to tvman then proceeds to facility
>he embraces the girls 
>tvman poses with the "yachatta na" vibe
>girls disappear
>Otaku Hero goes crazy
>graphic portrays sex and drug addiction (pink stage), disconnect from reality (anarchy and pink with cat), and being delusional or coming up with stories (government hands and minimaps). Delusions end with cardboard cutouts of the girls. I think the food on the table has some connections with the fruit anarchy was eating and surrstromming.

The stage pink was performing and the place where the cardboard cutouts are should also have some meaning.

Anyway, I'm doubling down on the theory that there's always a Green that will cause their loss each loop. Likely the one feeding them the girls' location. Blue will betray them and die. There's no way she got captured due to some dumb reason. Cat will warn the crew about a rat among them.
--- 251365378
I'm not saying this is certain, but another OP that was directed by the same guy had a lot of flower imagery so it might just be his stylistic touch

Appreciate the feedback but I think you missed what I said in the post (that I'm still working and only posted my bones so that I can gauge if the effort is worth it)

And yeah, it's getting ridiculous. I'm bouncing back between Comiket 2009 interviews, learning the modern history of the Japanese censorship board (including legal jargon), translating song lyrics to some Japanese boyband from the 90's and touching up on my own copy of No Longer Human.
That said my intention is to mush it all down to something coherent and digestible which is the hardest part.

Feel bad for being slow but making progress. I will no longer make time estimates. The good news is my notes are actually all in order and I no longer feel the need to add more information to what I'm about to do.

Oddly enough the fine toothed comb stuff is easier for me (I've done it before) it's all this big picture stuff and external material that's slow as I write a rewrite and force it to be simpler to understand.

Here's where I'm at, not for my own confidence this time but rather because I feel bad for vastly underestimating the undertaking (not shown, my 15 pages of notes in a word document):

I don't think this show is very good at the moment but I hope it gets better. I don't enjoy the ironic/fake subversive approach so far. It's been done before (ie. shimoneta, many other shows which I'm not thinking of at the moment or haven't seen), though obviously parts of this show kicks it up a notch. I would like to see a series that seriously addresses the fact that otaku "culture" is basically dead and buried but I guess corpse pissing like this is all you can really do. Series like oshi no ko meanwhile more seriously explore some of the inputs that killed it.

Alright, band-aid coming off, I am positively fried. The goods drop tomorrow, if I keep going it's not going to be the type of schizo you want to see.

As a token of apology, I'll let loose this nugget:
In episode 1 at 15:04-15:05, when Anarchy is screaming, what may at first appear to be a uvula gag is actually a whole ass creature in there. If you spotted it already, did you notice that it very much isn't Kyoutaro? Hm...

If you noticed that, did you notice the single frame Anarchy looks scary on 18:45? If you noticed that... I'm holding some more to the chest until tomorrow lol. Goodnight.
--- 251375093
>>251375046
Goodnight schizobro. I look forward to more of your ramblings
--- 251375150

>>251375046
>18:45
Yo I would NEVER notice that in a million years
--- 251375224
>>251375150
I liked the show already but diving in has made me appreciate it more. Even if the show ends up being a 6/10 when all is said and done I think it'll be a cool one. It'll be my 6/10 and that's good enough for me.
I learned enough from doing this that the show has already been a worthwhile experience to me, odd as that sounds.
--- 251375248
>>251374505
You do see all that IM@S/Bandori/LL merch right? He's obviously an idolfag himself
--- 251375262

--- 251375372

Does this imply she's a puppet of some sort? We talked about Otaku Hero already being dead but maybe Anarchy is? Really looking forward to schizobro's next post
--- 251375501
>>251352547
The pendulum is a retarded gen X meme shut the fuck up
--- 251375509
>>251375372
Could be that, maybe these creatures are just where they get their powers from? Or maybe that's the real form of these magical girls? Or maybe they're pulling a fast one and it actually *is* Kyoutaro and his innocent reentry in the next shot is to throw us off his trail and he's really pulling more strings than you might think.
--- 251375631
The mascot being connected makes men think he is just a toy irl (otaku is in a coma)
--- 251375693
>>251350960
fuck off filthy poltard
--- 251375764
>>251375631
The coma theory is definitely a plausibility. He could be imagining his nurses as the magical girls
--- 251375789
>>251375224
if it ends up being a cool one then it surely is not just a 6/10 for you
--- 251375875
>>251375764
"It's all a dream" is one of the least interesting things a story can be, I hope it doesn't go down that route.
--- 251375919
>>251375764
To add on to this, the magical girls could be a projection in his mind. Anarchy representing his want to break free. Blue representing his pent up sexual frustration. And Pink could represent him being drugged up. Gas mask is the ventilator(?)
--- 251375925
>>251375875
It can be interesting if the whole story is thematically built around that fact instead of just making it up at the last minute (though anything made up at the last minute will usually end up pretty shit)
--- 251375982
>>251375875
I don't think an Otaku going through a heart of darkness journey inside his own psyche is necessarily bad as long as the show is saying something, which it seems like it wants to.
--- 251376007
>>251375875
it's not the least interesting in my opinion, it's just been used too much to the point people diabolize it now

Haven't finished reading through the thread but this is a reference to the 2011 tsunami, isn't it?
--- 251376411
>>251376273
Lol nice
I can't decide if the four henchmen to mr. tv head are the four horsemen or the four magical girls, so I put both theories in as a conditional "if" statement. Purple just screams death and with pairs of four its a logical leap. Guess it depends on if the magical girls end up evil or not.

>>251376365
Could be. I have a few alternative theories including references to the famous Japanese book No Longer Human and something... else.
--- 251376460
This shit has time-loop shenanigans for sure.
Trust me on this, I'm a prophet.
--- 251376508
Man, hearing Cure Summer say such vulgar things is hilarious
--- 251376509
>>251376460
There's specifically one mega hint that this could be the case. It's isolated to less than a second in the background and I haven't gathered up enough evidence yet to fully back it but it'll be presented as well.
This is of course, something other than the "recurring dreams" line in the OP which I'd call a minor hint because it has a few other connotations to me.
--- 251376561
>>251376509
Have you found anything interesting relating to Slayer, the purple-haired chick? And why she has the same hairstyle as Anarchy in the OP?
--- 251376599
>>251376561
nta but isn't purple in the opposite end of the light spectrum from red?
--- 251376605
>>251376561
Well for one, if she's Death then her being at Akiba when shit went down in 2008 lends credence to the Akiba massacre theory.

But no, not a whole lot yet.
--- 251376640
>>251376561
Isn't there a fighting game character she looks like? The only character that I know of that looks like her is  Zone-tan

>>251376671
Wonder why Purple-chan's cheek tattoo is similar to the Otaku flag. The OP makes me think she's gonna turn to the good side.
--- 251376766
I think I figured out a twist but I don't want to ruin the show by figuring it out so fast...
--- 251376785
>>251376746
Weird she's in the water in the OP but isn't in the ED
--- 251376812
>>251376785
what if it's some Fight Club shit where Otaku Hero is also PUrple-chan?
--- 251376818
>>251376746
I don't think it's the otaku flag. Might be a cross since she represents death? What I find weird in the OP is that her tattoo turns into the teardrop the magical girls have. There's also only one teardrop instead of two
--- 251376855
>>251376818
She's definitely related to Anarchy. One of Anarchy's eyes glow blue when she transforms (the other eye from purple).
--- 251376898
>>251376855
Yep.
--- 251376913
>>251375046
>15:04
>not kyoutaro
Huh I really thought it was him since they both do that booger fling gag
--- 251376946
>>251376913
I've altered my stance since reading the speculation in this thread. I'm willing to believe its him or not him equally.
--- 251377014
>>251375046
I'm convinced you people have your heads so far up your asses trying to force this show as being deeper than it really is. This "gag" is done in dozens of other anime (P&S is a notable example), where people have creatures or more often smaller cartoonish versions of themselves, inside their throats while they're yelling. I forget the actual specifics of it but it's nothing "deep", it's just a stylistic choice that has a basis in Japanese culture.
--- 251377017
>>251376855
>>251376898
good catch. I double-checked episode 2 and her eye glows there again. Blue had no glowing eye in her transformation so it's definitely something unique to Anarchy
--- 251377043
>>251376812
Inb4 purple is anarchy's tulpa or some shit idk
--- 251377089
I think anarchy is very cute, I like her toothy "genki childhood friend" smiles

Except it's not a theory, you dumb fuck. If you've watched even a decent amount of anime, you'd have seen the gag before. Claiming it's some deep theory makes you sound like a complete retard.

--- 251377411
Alright anons, (yeah I know I'm supposed to be asleep I'm a retard) I have a moral situation.
I think I put two and two together and actually figured out something that could very well be one of the major plot (not theme) twists of the show with solid evidence.
I don't say this lightly because 99% of the time, this early, you're not finding this kind of shit. This is just schizo enough that I'm convinced that someone won't find it if I don't say anything, but once you hear it a fair number of you will just think it's true. If I skip over it, the analysis will still be great and fun and useful (I only just realized the connection) but this could be spoiler tier.

Now, it's not 100% guaranteed to be correct, and there's still a lot of room for the story to go if I reveal it, but I can't unreveal it. How would you like me to proceed?

Once again, this isn't gonna be the main twist (I hope) but I do think it will be one of them as of right now. We're only two episodes in so I can be proven wrong, but one particular bit of evidence sealed the deal for me.

ngl you lost me in the second paragraph and recaptured me in the third, this is peak schizophrenia right here and I really hope you’re right, could play into the whole “milking the cash cow while admonishing it” theory that was posited several threads back, what with the government needing to “protect” the otaku in the show and all

>>251378986

--- 251379075
>>251378799
This is so painfully generic that I can't believe you were afraid of spoiling people.
--- 251379166
>>251379075
 The particular piece of physical evidence that relates to another piece of physical evidence is something I only happened to notice by pure luck and I watched these episodes 5-6 times each. It's less that I was worried because it was so mindblowingly good, but because it seems to me to be so probable. 

Once again, if I'm right, I don't think this will be the showstopping twist, but I do think it'll happen.

Anyway anons, that's seriously enough for me for one day. Thanks for indulging my delusions, catch you tomorrow with the write up, lots of fun goodies in there.

I kept seeing this around and it seemed cool but I could barely even get through the first episode. All this dick sucking of the self insert mc is insane.

The funny thing is that he is just in the background most of the time. 
It's probably intentional since he is a shizo.
--- 251382340
I want to like this show but something about the creator being a year younger than me and trying to profess about 00's otaku really irks me, even if it's all ironic.
--- 251382353

Gobo THIS, junkie!

It's not ironic and you're also too young to know shit about any of that anyways. Get over yourself. He's succeeding at something you wish you could. I don't mean to flame you but I'm seeing a lot of mid-20s losers seething that someone a couple years their junior can be so successful at pursuing his passions, even if it is a little misdirected or confused.

Fucking yuri-trannies always complaining about self-insert male MCs. I don't know why you think this MC is anything like that.
At the start he's presented as your average weak otaku walking down akiba, and after a three year timeskip of enduring imprisonment, revolution, guerilla warfare and founding an otaku-led rump-state in the ruins of akiba, he's grown. It seems to me his strength is in using planning ability and charisma to lead others, something otaku aren't known for doing well. Now, after being the sole tard-wrangler for a bunch of autists in a harsh war for three years, he finally hit his breaking point. Then the one who most lacked structure and purpose in her life and so had depended on him most (Anarchy) inspired him to fight again.
Seems like a very defined and compelling male main-character to me!
--- 251384356
>>251384207
The show is about Otaku culture staring mahou shojo, an evil organization and copy pasted transformations. It's stereotypical as fuck and that's the whole point. Heck the MC talked about anime heroes being the kind of people to always succeed in the end. It's gonna be meta as fuck. People bitching about OH getting fellated don't know shit about the medium and this nigga is definitely getting a harem

don't forget the schizo nee-san who made isekai in her head after losing her brother
--- 251384715
>>251384207
>It seems to me his strength is in using planning ability and charisma to lead others
The only thing he done so far is pulled an airship out of his ass and said the most trite shit while everyone around sucked his dick (while Anarchy soloed an army, which raises a question of why are they on the verge of being defeated). That's probably intentional but it's not

the OP pretty blatantly forshadows that the megucas are going to drag MC to mindfuck hell
I also kinda get the impression that there's a chaos;head kinda thing going on where his (and pink's followers') delusions become fuel for their magic, which was why anarchy was so desperate to reignite his spark

The shrine they had the rave party at seems to be the Kanda Shrine
>Due to its proximity to the Akihabara Electric Town, the shrine has become a mecca for the technophiles who frequent Akihabara. The Kanda Shrine sells talismans specifically for blessing electronic devices against the types of harm that could come to them.

>>251350878 (OP)
I'm dropping this show, what's the point of covering the ass with a fog placement that makes no fucking sense when you can still see it even if barely? Yes, I know anons already made edits to remove most of the fog and make the ass more visible but still it's pretty stupid for a series that's clearly not aimed at toddlers with the drugs and religious imagery and all that shit, I don't give a FUCK about the story or anons claiming "Le MC is dead/will die before the end of the show", I might pick it up again if one of the girls gets a better fanservice scene later on, but for now it's pretty bad overall
