Because, let's be honest: It's pretty clear from the first episode alone.
The animations and character designs are so hilariously abominable that you instantly (and instinctively) know that something here is just wrong. They're so wrong, in fact, you could mute the video and just watch the animation and it'd be still a blast.
But the voice acting (if you can even call it that) transforms this deranged monstrosity into some kind of Fanime masterpiece. It's pretty clear the creators gave it their all, as in: They didn't just simply "phone it in", it's more like an exercise in approaching the ideal limit of hilariously bad voice acting. And they succeded spectacularly. In addition, the sound mixing is absolutely abysmal which just "enhances" the entire experience.
If nothing else, listen to the credits song and then just try to tell me this wasn't made by some troll as a sick joke.
So, yeah. This is a wonderful Troll Fic from beginning to end, and you can appreciate it for being a Troll Fic right from the start even without having been told that it's a Troll Fic. Those are the best Troll Fics there is: The ones that're painful from the first minute BUT IN A GOOD AND TOTALLY NOT PAINFUL WAY. (Does this comparison make any sense? Probably not, but whatever.)
Why does everyone say "Come the third episode, it becomes clear this is a parody."?

Give it a watch. It'll blow your mind.
