With breast-squeezing and face-to-crotch conversations, the level of physical sexuality here is way higher than it's ever done before.

What a strange yet totally great episode! Loved all those reference in the end, in the old days when it was still acceptable to use copyrighted items in a series :p

Pretty loved it, and also quite liked that new librarian character and their relation to Peter Pan :3

For a bottle episode, this was great.

These outlandish situations are what I live for.

I also love all the references, although being the uncultured swine I am, some of them flew over my head.

Fun episode, though the recycled animation cut down on the whimsy factor a little.

Obligatory Napoleon cameo, and a surprise Hitler

First time I saw Spiderman in an anime I think.

Wendy: "I'm a being from the world of books, so my body has no thickness"
Mah man Ataru here thinks otherwise

Also shinobu starts to annoy me a bit with her out of control anger

I feel like this series is too ambitious (for its own good). It has these huge ideas but can never adequately animate the chaos on account of being an anime from the past, when tech wasn’t as advanced. If it were a modern day anime, they could animate these sequences better instead of having a bunch of crudely drawn stills, repeated shots, and animation loops with like three key frames.

Also, they gave Superman a big ass mustache, lmfao. And Spiderman looked borderline anorexic.
And speaking of references, there was a book that was titled “Maison Ikkoku”, which is an interesting reference.
Aaaand, also, I didn’t know Japan knew of Peter Pan. So that was cool to see, also.
Lots of references.

At 15:27 there’s a red headed girl reading “Urusei Yatsura” lol. She must be like “wow the characters from this book look so familiar to me.”

This episode was proof enough that Ataru is a lost cause. He had Venus, freaking Venus in front of him and he left her to go look for the girl in the swimsuit. Seriously what does Lum love about him? She better be with Mendou or go back to Rei. They might not be much better but at least they are good looking. Mendou is like a very refined version of Ataru.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

I really enjoyed this episode a lot. The inclusion of the first ending playing during the re-shelving scene was definitely a nice bit. Probably one of the most fun episodes we have seen in the series so far if I have to say so myself.
Have a great day!
