----------------------------------------
Riku is walking in a maze. Choices?
(Many characters are walking, too.)
What's waiting next? NINO!!
Continuing with Riku's baseball searching. "hyon" na kakkou de "hyon"na sugata... lol~~~
Three guys, with Amazoness's order, are rotating Riku! He said he cannot see them clearly, then when they are stopped they cannot see them because they have masks!
Amazoness said don't think you will leave alive coming in Amazoness land. Riku said it's Saitama. These guys are "Tengu".
Amazoness said she hates guys saying so many things... Riku said he didn't say those!
Riku is tired and said he's going back to find the ball, Amazoness said don't fool her, he's searching for "hihou", a treasure box for attaining ultimate power. Riku is curious, so she shows it to him.
It was.... a box foll of "Gari gari sama"!! (a snack in Japan). Riku is tired...
Then the narrator said Gari Gari sama is ice snack from Saitama.
Amazoness said she won't forget Riku if he's going to touch Gari Gari sama. Riku said no~~~, he's just a person who's searching for a homerun ball. Amazoness doesn't believe him. They are scary-ing Riku, but they just want him to show his ID!! lol @ the fast investigation and led him go.
Riku is shocked at their fast investigation and they are going to fool Riku... lol @ Amazoness's quick change of tone.
Riku ate their Gari Gari sama. She hit him! He fell unconscious with Amazoness having a stick (and later found out was "Unmai bou" (another Japanese snack). When he woke up, he yelled "I won't forgive if you say it was unmai bou!" and Arakawa villagers are there! They found the ball, and it was a dream? Riku said it's not dream. They don't believe in what he said and thought he felt lonely searching for the ball. They went to hug him.
Amazoness, with her "tengu"on the boat, couldn't believe he got "atari" on one shot for the Gari Gari sama.lol @ another Amazoness's voice change when boss called.
A man is on top and is found where he's looking for.
Riku is enjoying a peaceful morning. When looking at the birds, he saw a man lying there! (Captain)
He brought him to sister. What happened to him was the same as Riku. He thinks that the kids made him wear those weird outfit. He said what's he talking about? It was his own will to get up, and too afraid of go down. With this outfit, he won't be feeling burned under the sun.
Hoshi and the leader came in. He knows and doesn't know them... kappa and hoshi... or flower? lol~~ He said they're from outer space, right? Then as a soldier of protecting humans, he won't just let them go. Riku thought, the narration said, it's better to led him as bird's food.
Hoshi and the leader are explaining. Their feelings are matching, though.
lol @ Riku saying he's alien so that he can get out of the bridge (saying no to more people living in the bridge). He said oh, then he's the same type of alien as that girl, right? (Nino)
It was few night ago...WOW she changed form when sleepwalking with fishes!!!!! AND Nino's water bubble on her nose is talking!! lol @ the talk.
He admits that he's her friend but not the same type. lol @ Huge Nino. And bridge changing into white horse. And shooting something from her mouth! He said don't worry for now, but no one knows when Nino wants to destroy it, so he should leave.
He said just run away? He wants to stay and fight but it's not possible to win by himself. The leader said he's not alone. Sister and Hoshi are on his side, too!! (not under Riku's plan...)
They are all fired up and ignoring Riku!! Riku is nervous and thinking if he should say it was a lie. And Nino is here. Hoshi and the leader are fooling around!! (Sister ran away) They told her that he's interested in Venus. She gets out something and he thought weapon. It was fishes.
She put them into his mouth. He's angry but Nino continues to put more! The guy said he won't give earth to Nino, then ran away. She haven't serve main dish...
ED!! (Real life characters of Arakawa, mainly the leader and Hoshi)
More of the competition thing. Billy and Jacqueline 's show (Jacqueline sounds like Hirano-san here). The leader gave something to Last Samurai. Riku was commenting how the people are serious even in playing, then Billy shot with gun and Last Samurai used sword, and the beans flew across both sides of Riku's face!! It was to see his face!!
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
chebuoi said: Dude, no one bother sub this awesome show?
On Nutbladder's page, says TS has a job and is out for now turning in their script late tuesday, as for ruri, they sub later for this show.
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).
HURRAY far arakawa this will never get old Subs are out
I always laugh when i watch this
Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.
It might be because I've been watching a lot of Gundam lately, but Captain seriously reminds me of...pretty much every Gundam protagonists. I didn't like Amazoness that much, but the last scene at the riverbank and the bit with Captain were fantastic. Oh, and I was seriously singing Always by Erasure in my head during the scene with Nino and the giant horse.
I found myself laughing repeatedly at the most random moments. The episode was just filled with great moments. Billy is awesome. Last Samurai is really good with his katana! Plenty of wtf moments. So far, the second season's crazier and even better. =)
The OP is great. The ED was awesome! Also, that real-life Hoshi looks crazy but awesome.
I didn't like the amazoness part at all...I don't know why..But i did like master softee..Overall a great episode but the first one was much much better..I must have watched it 6 times so far!
After the good first episode, I thought this season may be better than the first... But no, this episode was quite bad, possibly the worst in the series. I hate every minute of the Amazoness part, and the second half was decent but not great.
Oh God, i laughed so hard the whole episode.
The amazoness part was hilarious
And that ED, it's nice to see Hoshi irl but he looked hilarious. It's funny to think that is actually the way Riku sees them. I would to see the rest of the cast like this.
PseudoJordan said: It might be because I've been watching a lot of Gundam lately, but Captain seriously reminds me of...pretty much every Gundam protagonists.
Probably because he's voiced by Seki Tomokazu? I didn't even need to check the cast list, his voice is unique! Can't believe we have both of AM's Tomokazu(s) in the coolest show ^O^
What impressed me was also the fact that Nakamura Yuuichi voiced 4 different charas in this episode...he didn't have that many lines but oh well XD
(according to what I read from the credits he voices the 3 Hen tengu and of course Last Samurai)
Anyway, Kobayashi-san rulezz!
Oh, I love the ending too!!!!
I was laughing non-stop for the first half of the episode. The second half was amazing as well, the reaction from the Mayor, Sister, and the Kappa to Ric's story :P
Absolutely amazing episode, was ridiculously funny throughout.
The first half was amusing but I didn't like it very much. Kobayashi Yuu's voice was kinda irritating. But kudos to her for the variations of rough voice to high-pitched. Second half was really hilarious. Tomokazu Seki did a good job here with his enthusiastic voice. The new character fits in well with the others and they accepted him so easily :)). Overall, another great episode of Arakawa. Love it.
This was SO random... One of the weirdest episodes of the show, and when you see the 14 first ones, it really means something. By the way, the OP and ED for this second season are incredible.
In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.
I was constantly laughing and smiling, and this seemed one of those where the jokes are lost in translations probably. Amazoness at the end seemed a little enamored with Ric lol and Captain is just insanity, but in a good away like all the other characters.
Still as a big GinTama fan , im happy to be hearing all these familiar voices.
The Amazoness part was a bit weak, but the second half with Nino doing all those crazy transformations? AMAZING!!!! XD Arakawa never disappoints. Love the new ending theme too. <3
I really didn't think that the Arakawa freakshow could get more out of control, and yet it did. I laughed as much as I tilted my head sideways and asked myself what I was watching. I also want that Star mask.
