Introduction thread for an obscure series--Gag Manga Biyori (sometimes translated as Gyagu Manga Biyori) . Apologies if I missed any similar thread recently, but it's all in good fun, and there really isn't too much of a fanbase for this in the English language.

Essentially, this is a series with five-minute episodes of madcap comedy (with what some have described as intentionally crude artwork). The first season has been subbed by Ayu in English and is fairly easy to find. It's hit-or-miss comedy, but in my opinion very hilarious. There is little semblance of plot and few recurring characters. Is this a challenge for fanartists? Hardly.

This is Prince Shotoku, one of a handful of recurring characters and historical figures. His portrayal in the series is not very serious of course...

Ono no Imoko, who travels with Shotoku as an envoy to China and viciously insults him at every opportunity, although in later episodes Shotoku gives as good as he gets. These two seem to have the largest fan following...

The great poet Matsuo Basho, depicted here as somewhat pathetic, and his student Sora, a heartless son of a bitch.

Some guy who is also a fish. Allegedly drowned first season but reappeared second season in Shotoku's bathtub.

A lot of parodies on Nicovideo; search ????????? (hand-drawn) or ???????? (name of series).

A very popular tag on Tegaki as well (I don't have many good examples at the moment)

Concluding with a scan from the actual manga for comparison.

Thanks for the thread! Will check out.

A little clarification, it doesn't really matter what order you watch this in, since it's mostly one-shots of general insanity. The episodes in which the characters in this thread do appear:

Basho and Sora:
S1 ep 5, S2 ep 7, S3 ep 9

Shotoku and Imouko:
S1 ep 2-3, S2 ep 3, S3 ep 3

Yep, 15 to 20 minutes of total screentime. But it's enough to generate quite a lot...

AWESOME thread
thank you, op

AWESOME. I wouldn't dream of there being fanart for Biyori. More people need to watch this short series so maybe subbers will realize there is demand for subs for season 2 and 3....

Just watched the first ep on your recommendation OP. HOLY CRAP this shit is crazy - I love it!

I'm pretty sure this screencap justifies every fanart of it in existence.

Is there BL in this?

Serious answer: no, it's pure crack.
Accurate answer: but the crack contains intentional subtext. And any fanwork you'll find will be better looking (but less cracky) than the original anyway.

And it's a great thing how the fanbase is so inexplicably HUEG.

If Imoko and Sora ever met, I fear for us all.

Is that who these people are?

I have a whole folder of them, didn't know what they were from. I think I label it 'Track Suits: The Anime' Let me dig it up.

I have a bunch of folders for thing I don't recognize. Hats-The-Anime, Track-Suits-The-Anime, Shitwaffles, CowsInSpace, etc. Someday I am sure some one will make a request thread here on /cm/ and I will learn while making some Anon happy.

Many folders get labeled this way, Geass was LongPeople, Akagi/Kaiji was Noses-That-Could-Take-Out-An-Eye, it's just so I remember what is in them.

Accurate naming system is accurate and awesome. But...Shitwaffles?

And thanks for the new images, Sora is a sadist on the order of Okita from Gintama, and it is fantastic.
>> Yves

>>909031
Heh, if it works, it works. Shitwaffles is a folder full of people eating waffles, is there an anime with waffles as a main plot point?

I do have more, but these were in a folder named OlderUke. Sometimes the same series has multiple folders because I can't tell they are the same series.
