Dang, this episode felt kinda like something out of a video game.

Plus, the girls dressed in fancy battle outfits and hell, there's even stats being displayed for their characters.

Dragon Quest this time and they went all out to the point that the ED is an 8 bit rendition. Also, it's all a dream ending.

There were a couple of other homages were spot on especially the Ghouls and Ghosts segment in the graveyard down to the 2 hit wonder the games are known for and Maya showed up at the end but was sent packing only seconds after she showed up.

The 8 bit part was great, 8bit is always great and i don't mean the anime studio by that.
Right now we still got RPGMaker but most games don't use it, Who needs the RTX 2080TI when you got RPG Maker!!
Anyway it was funny seeing the girls tackle a old school RPG.

I got caught by surprise with this episode, I thought they would continue using Mangas or LN to make parodies, but it was nice to see them using a game, especially an RPG, also in this episode there were my favorite girls, Irina, Saori Yuina neko.
I think that blatant focus on the breasts of our innocent and well-proportioned heroines was rude, divine punishment to that perverted king.
Saori is very excited to be part of this game, since she has played it before.
The references of old games was very fun to watch, the quest of the cemetery and the cave brought me several memories.
Saori negative ruins the trip to the castle of the demon king.
But fortunately Saori recovers her positivism and confronts the demon king with Irina and Yuina and kicks his ass and also defeats Maya without an effort.
I liked the ending in 8 bits, but I missed seeing the beautiful and well proportioned body of the cute girls.

That ghosts and goblins parody was gold, starting from Nejiusa getting grabbed by that demon
getting hit once removes your armor, twice and you die
one of them uses the spear, and another the fire weapon that travels in an arc

ladies, if you want to win, you have to
-get the knife
-get the knife
-GET THE KNIFE

Dragon Quest and Ghosts n' Goblins this time. Probably the best episode so far. GnG parody is so accurate that it hurts. Nostalgia hit me with full force when I rage quit that game as a kid because of difficulty.

Best episode by far. Anyway, as this episodes contains multiple references, I shall list them for those that care (which I assume are everyone since everyone else dropped this)

  • Dragon Quest
    Most of the episode is a DQ reference. The monster designs are ripoffs from the games, such as the Devil being an obvious ripoff of the Dragonlord from DQ1. The three heroines' outfits are from DQ games: Irina is dressed as Aurora from DQ Heroes, and Saori and Yuina are based off the mage and the fighter from DQ3, respectively. The menus are from DQ, and the spell of restoration are an obvious reference to the 20 character/52 character long passwords in DQ1 and DQ2, the mimic, dragging party members in a coffin, the enemy encounter transitions, talking to the king when you respawn and the music that plays when they're travelling is a ripoff of the DQ3 Overworld theme. There's too many references to list.

  • Phantasy Star
    The brief battle with the monsters are an obvious parody of how battles look in the first two Phantasy Star games, with it showing the characters' backside and having the background be blue. A parody of the battle theme also plays during this first fight.

  • Ghost 'n' Goblins/Ghouls 'n' Ghosts
    This is one is obvious. The red bird man that takes the bunny is an amalgamation of Red Arremer and a Hawk man enemy from Dragon Quest. A ripoff of the GnG theme plays during this segment as well.

Idk if this episode is just the staff complaining about the lack of work conditions or a curious episode with multiple references. It just weird.

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本
