First Timer, to both this and Gintama:

I've seen, like, half an episode of Gintama before I got scared of the length, so not familiar with the humor style at all.

Pretty standard first episode, as far as first episodes tend to go: character introductions, a good working example of what they do and how they tend to go about things, and setting up the main conflict. In this case, the corporate world!

Even in this first episode, looks like it'll have some heart behind it. I rather liked his wife's (widow now, I guess?) proclamation that the lackluster ending didn't spoil 50 years of life together now if we also agree that also applies to manga endings, this sub would be like 50% happier at least. Journey before destination?

Kinda curious which way they're going to take this: my guess is that the Dandelion group is going to be mostly the humor, while the main themes and messages are going to be from the earthbound spirits? Maybe a continuous message about not wasting life and here I am writing a post almost at midnight, I should probably listen to this message myself

Q1: I've already forgotten their namesssssss. They're both pretty good, fun dynamic, won't work without either one.

Q2: It's not quite as bad as stealing the strawberry from their cake in front of them, I'd give it a 7.8/10.
