[...] Anime Desho Desho: panned badly, Bridge Bunnies lifted a bunch of quotes from others, got confused, Wonderduck: confused as well, Brickmuppet: Shrill Lolis, Karoshi: very positive, Kono Sono: not very coherent or articulate, BigN: somewhat positive. [...]

Agreed. I could see a few OVA’s, but a series? A twenty-four episode series?

I’m assuming (hoping?) that there will be some there there later in the series… otherwise, this is going to be one whopping pile of wombat dung.

With a cute OP, yes, but still…

I like so far but either way KyoAni still wins. Two episodes (I think) have aired and its already igniting flame wars across the net. That’s the kind of publicity you (usually) can’t buy.

Heh. As long as we understand “they”, “KyoAni”, and “Dokuro-chan” do not belong within light-years of each other.

But seriously, American TV produced Seinfeld, a “show about nothing.” And that’s what we have here. There’s not even a hint of a plot during the episode. It’s just girls talking, and the conversations are completely inane and trivial. There’s extended set-ups where earlier jokes/skits are tied to later ones, but that’s as close as it comes. Many are chuckle-worthy and a few involve [mild] innuendo, but no gut-busters.

I think it’s going to be a series that everyone either loves with fanboy enthusiasm or hates because of that fanboy enthusiasm. Either viewers will like the characters and be captivated by certain running gags involving them, or they’ll hate the utter pointlessness of the show.

…maybe what you meant was “make a good series…” (it now occurs to me)

I just don’t know if they can make a series out of such a concept.

Of course they can. The real question is whether it’ll be worth watching. But if they could make “Dokuro-chan”, they can make this.
