Well, that was quick. They got released after being arrested already. Looks like Memenpu had a bit of fun around the city. Poor Gagumber, seems like his catch lines creeped out ladies and it's kinda hilarious.

I find it even more hilarious that his kid interrupted him when he caught the attention of a woman named Zackletu at the bar. Poor guy, can't ever catch a break in this show. I think they make a good team though. I think we'll see more of her in this story if she keeps her own words.

Dropping into the Labyrinth and only to get locked behind bars, both Gagmuber and Memempu are certainly Colony criminals.

The Bureau of Regulations a.k.a the Control Agency controlled by silver hair Merooro, he's certainly not letting the father-daughter duo loose because of the charges against them. But only going as far as to sightsee around the Jolly-Jolly Colony, which is more a humanized Neverland-like tourist spot.

Memenpu having her own childhood time, and Gagumber going through his adult life of rejections. This new biker woman Zackletu (voiced by HanaKana) whom Gagmuber is trying his best to attract for pick-up attempts with other women, even Memempu burning his own fate is kinda funny to see for familial banter.

Having to improvise from an assassination plot from a shady organization because of Zackletu with a million's bounty on her head for being an Underworld criminal, Gagumber sacrificing his body and soul for "being a man", he's not man at all. But when it comes to the crunch, both him and Zackletu only scraped off alive thanks to Memempu.

The pettiness of Jolly-Jolly, and trouble just couldn't swell down, no thanks to Gagumber.

Pretty fun episode! Get your act together, dear Father.

Solid episode, although I felt that the introduction of Zackletu was done rather hastily. It will be curious to see how she ties into the overall plot from here on out.

I really like Memempu's "Lady" entonation

Gagumber problem is his pick up lines, seeing that the ladies like his style.

The people of Jolly-Jolly dont have passion they have passione.

I want to be like that bartender, work in a cool place, bake cakes, and can change my mind fast enough to enter a old gun fight.

Have a beautiful lady like Zackletu chasing you doesn't sound like a bad deal.

The first approaches were just warm up bro and that V line looked tempting. Memenpu was a cock block, but there wouldn't have been any action for Gagumber aside from fighting discount Italian mobsters anyway. Funny how the queer guy used his pickup line.

Was another enjoyable episode for sure.

Definitely got a lot better with this episode. Had expected a lot less - after the preview at the end of the previous episode. The Meroroo guy seemed weird there at the end of previous episode.

But the new female char was nice - and episode focused a lot on her. + the colony was interesting. Seems like it had an Italian theme/setting. I wonder if this is the real earth in a fictional future lol.

At least fun to watch. Not as boring as Kaizoku Oujo or Takt. (Also anime that seem/seemed adventure-ish.)

The ne female definitely has some more secrets.

Zacrettu is a fucking babe, and being voiced by Hana Kana only makes her better. I need more of her in this anime now.

I like how the colony was based off of Italy. I am interested in seeing more Colonies based off countries.

The Bartender blushing when Memempu said how good the cakes there were LMAO

This episode was surprisingly entertaining, it was more focused in the father so I guess it was because of that, the dysfunctional personality works well in this environment because there is too much uncertainty about everything. The tilted colosseum was a funny detail, ngl, and the motorcycle of Zac is sexy as fuck. Also Zac can do a 1v100 and decided to flee and let Gagumba get captured instead, that was an interesting decision

The structure of the episodes is somehow starting to become quite repetitive though, but the execution is colourful so I'm not going to think too much about it

That was a super fun episode, definitely my favorite episode so far. Jolly-jolly colony is basically Italy colony, I like it, even got mafias and shit, that leaning coliseum though. Gagumber needs to step up his pick up game, but I can respect the grind lmao. Already love Zacrettu a lot, plus she's voiced by KanaHana, hope she appears regularly in the show.

I pray for those mafia henchmen's bootyholes. Looking forward to the next episode.

Jolly-Jolly being based off Italy was a pleasant surprise. I would've been like Memempu here, touring all of the local attractions, historic locations and, of course, visiting all of the cafes and restaurants. =)

The episode also introduced Zacrettu, who is sexy and badass while dealing with the colony's mob and their interesting looking leader. Although he was his bumbling self again, at least it was nice to see Gagumber get into the action and he held his own pretty nicely, too.

One thing he needs to work on was his pick-up lines, though. It cracked me up seeing him trying to hit on the local ladies. Either way, this episode was pretty fun and I'm sure we'll see Zacrettu again sooner or later, as Gagumber owes her a lot of cash for her "services" when they were dealing with the mob.

I get Gagumber being worried about Memempu in the prison and what they might be doing to her, but why the fuck did he comment about her "virginal body" when he saw them doing the blood test? Seriously anime, what the fuck? That aside, the start to this episode again raises the question of why they'd illegally steal electricity from the base camp rather than just going in and asking for some: it's not like they were fugitives or anything, so I don't understand the logic behind taking that approach. On a similar note, besides the fact that we have a cour to fill here, I can't fathom why Zacrettu wouldn't just deal with Gagumber here and now for his non-payment, rather than vowing to chase him to the ends of the world or whatever.

Honestly, it feels like this show's plot is already wearing thin to the point that it's losing track. Being an original series, I was concerned about this happening, and I can't say I'm too happy to see it coming true so soon. Alternatively, if it's meant to be driven by Gagumber and Memempu's relationship, it already doesn't feel like there's too much left to be explored there, yet we still have eight episodes left.

Other than that, this was a very different type of HanaKana performance and I was a big fan of it.

This was a very enjoyable episode.

They're criminals according to The Bureau of Regulations, Merooro. He looks like your typical shady guy who does everything for money but he seems different. Well, he gave them a chance to sight view. He can't be that bad...

Anyway, Memenpu and Gagamba did a lot of stuff together but ended up parting later. Gagamba needed some quality time alone. Rejected by 12 women and his game is still going strong. Until the girl we saw when they were eating pizza arrived. A motorcycle girl named Zackletu, love her design. She was pretty much playing around with her until Memenpu saved him xD

He got into some problems and got captured by the italian maffia guys. Rescued by Zackletu and goddamn, that smirk! She's EPIC. She's pretty strong tho; she can easily defeat a hundred people alone.

Captured in the end.. rip

Definitely better ep than the previous ones. I hope it stays on this level from now on

Jolly Jolly is literally and blatantly Italy... the whole colony full of references. Like Piazza di spagna, the Colosseum (leaning just as the tower of Pisa), the "passion", the canals of Venice, etc.

Btw I wonder how much we will see Zackletu from now on... I think this anime needs some important character joining the MC and Memempu

Memempu also mentioned that Gagumber's wife left him but because of the vibes of the last few episodes and the fact that he is a retired Marker i think she is very dead and Memempu doesn't know.

Pretty fun episode.

I thought at first that they forgot to draw Zackletu on her motorcycle, since she appeared to ride it invisible, but as we later saw even motorcycles are -basically- mecha bots in this world. Which, of course, entirely defeats the point of a motorcycle. Apparently, since they are trapped underground, riding exposed in the air would be too liberating or something and people might get weird ideas about freedom and fresh air :)

Zackletu seems shady but she seems more like a thief of thieves. Unless I misunderstood she is wanted by the mafia, not the authorities - or maybe both. That Merooro guy appears to be truly shady though. Why exactly should Gagumber and Memenpu be further punished for being caught in the crossfire between the mafia and Zackletu? That seems like an excuse to get them do what he wants or further control them.

Their original impeding punishment is apparently for blowing up that volatile ore, not for breaking out of their colony without authorization - and taking the two kaijuu along with them, thus saving the Colony while the bureau of Regulation of Merooro did absolutely nothing*. Presumably it would have been OK if they had let the two kaijuu kill them instead; no punishment would be required then.

*It's almost certain that it was Merooro and/or his bureau that allowed -or even commanded, who knows- the two kaijuus to invade that Colony and later sent that third kaijuu which attacked them in the Labyrinth. Their target was Memenpu, because she discovered something that was kept under wraps. Apparently it would be too much of a hassle to destroy the Italian colony as well to get them, so it appears that Merooro will look for some other way.
