I sort of expected that Miwan would turn out to be a guy, but I didn't expect that the entire village was men in disguise.

The plot of the episode would be definitely better if the whole village hadn't turned out to be men. I kind of associated this with ending of Pratchett's novel "Monstrous Regiment". Nevertheless, i found the episode quite enjoyable.

C'mon, it was a very good episode! Miwan surprised me and the ending was fun. Slayers is a lot better now than at the beggining.

And now the obligatory "male characters have to dress as women because men aren't allowed in [insert place here]" episode. Still it was a pretty funny episode. Especially the first time Martina got hit by the water demon.

Personally, I didn't see the end coming at all. My face matched the girls'.

Zelgadis is such a pretty girl! Especially when he blushes. Is the purpose of this anime to poke fun at the characters now? (not that any of the Slayers titles aren't comedic, but...<3) Xellos seemed to enjoy it, though.

That girl Zel was flirting with was Rika from Higurashi Wen They Cry. Hair, dressed the same, both shrine maidens...Too bad Rika was a ...guy...?

Lina got so upset when everyone thought she was a guy, while Zel and Xellos passed it off with no problem. For a moment it looked like Zel had found a love interest, but no.

I knew that I saw similar girl somewhere before. Thanks! :-)

That ending was creepy and hilarious at the same time. I did not expect that at all, not with Miwan and definitely not with a ton of the other villagers.

Btw, I’m onboard with Amelia x Zelgadis and Lina x Gourry.

Well that was awkward. So probably half of the population are actually male, they're just pretending for the tradition and the probably their weird laws. Still no Claire Bible.

That made no sense, they have public baths and suddenly everyone is "secretly" a man? Come on...

I thought that one extra at the 20:45 minute mark sounds familiar. Surprise cross-dressing Levi this episode LOL!

"He's coming"
*Squirt squirt*
"Here I come"
*Precedes to squirt on everyone.*

Yep that is one sick and demented monster!

Edit: this episode still hasn't hit its age. the ending is predicting the future of the west. we are still a ways out.

This episode was mindfuck and I'm all here for it. Now I understand why nobody was catching on with Lina and everybody just calling Zel, Mr. and not playing along with the pretend act because they don't care, it's because it was all a trap from the start!

Another dumb filler where nothing makes sense. Like why are they even dressing up and not just wait outside until Lina finishes this job..
Also lots of the stuff that people considered humorous in the 90ies in comedy shows aged rather bad and feels super cringe now.
