Big Order (TV)

KochinPa – How much can be done with a 15 second long anime? Actually, a surprisingly large amount. So long as you don’t try to develop some sort of plot line and instead stick to light hearted comedy, 15 seconds really isn’t all that restrictive. In fact, there are things you can do with a 15 second long episode that can’t be done with a longer anime. Which is something KochinPa did a lot of. In fact it seldom did anything else. I’m not sure it did anything to advertise whatever it was that it was supposed to be advertising, but who cares?

I had stopped Hundred for so long because I was convinced it would go downhill from there. I was right.

Dropped Onigiri because I just don’t get anything. Big Order was dropped due to a certain event in the second episode. If you watched it you probably know what I’m talking about.
