Pretty funny! Loved the flute playing in the forest, haha.

Although its a shame that the really excellent and coherent comedy/drama genre developments in the first episode are completely gone, I still like the wacky irreverent style on display in this episode. I dont care which way it pans out, its fun eitherway.

So we move from slice-of-life/drama to some RPG parody. And judging by the new setting, looks like we'll be genre-hopping yet again next episode.

Not nearly as good as Tower of Druaga's RPG parody, nor as bad as Hayate no Gotoku's, but it came out a considerable time before either of those, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I suspect that if I hadn't already watched those two previous episodes, it would have been a lot funnier. Nonetheless, I still chuckled a couple times.

And just who is this "Dark Lord" person?!
I dunno, could it be Satan?

Really really good so far. Quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Ohh it became an RPG! So this just became a parody I assume? Looks like I'll be on for a crazy ride for this series... XD

Yeah, it's very much like Excel Saga during the middle. I advise reading the manga too though, since the ending there explains more.

Not really boota cameo, abenobashi came out in 2002, and gurren lagann in 2007. X)

Lol so now we know what was in the amulet.

Pretty interesting development, so they're traveling from one adventure to another! With this one being a game or some sort which was pretty funny, so lets see what's next in space!

Yeah I felt the same way, it's like i'm watching the color kids arc in Level E all over again, but actually being quite funny. I hope it improves, but for me I just get entertained enough at the exaggerated range of facial expressions.

So it seems like Abenobashi is an isekai, huh...

That mole reminded me of TTGL.

Some of the costumes of "the boss" surely were references to something, right? That strange sword of hers seemed familiar too...

I lost it when Arumi started to use snails xD They were shown in ep. 1 haha. Isn't it convenient that she always has some folded paper to beat Sasshi up?

That artifact's effect being growing one's chest was the best reveal of the episode xD Well it's obvious Arumi likes Sasshi (who else?) but still.

The spell came out of nowhere though.

And they arrive on a giant space chicken...

WTF Star Wars OST remixes O_o LoL

Exactly what was needed.

P.S. Hilarious how Arumi spent the entire preview time in ep.1 complaining about Sasshi's look

P.P.S. Fast hand movements have a distinct "rough" style.

P.P.P.S. Where did the flute come from, I wonder? More money after respawn? :p Arumi had black (and not red) eyes during the first respawn sequence btw

So that was really the usual isekai fantasy world with medieval elements and video games ones (with the bosses and special items etc) but damn now they got teleported to Star Wars world in the space and they even remixed the main theme of it ahahaha, that really made me laugh xD

one of the episodes i remembered the least, still not one of my favorites of this series, but it works to set the tone for future development. Sooner or later RPG-esque plot should have happened, and it did really fast.

OP is still catchy, pretty and entertaining after two decades... even back then i discovered it was sung by... girl Ranma. Amusing.

I love that Sasshi wears a Kintetsu Buffaloes jersey. It really does not get any more early 2000s Osaka than a Kintetsu Buffaloes jersey.
