| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, more kids introducd this episode. A family of kids too. The comedy is pretty amusing still imo. Kukuri can also be a very hotblooded girl. Nike and the boys made an interesting discovery although the reaction was rather amusing too. The very RPGish setting is still something I find creative. It almost felt like exploring a video game. |
 |
| ZAMDIN! The rats in the beginning had me cracking up, they just kept playing the jingle everytime LOL Kukuri's butt gave him a strange power xD Also that old man dancing giving Kukuri a new spell xD The slapstick comedy is everywhere and actually really funny. |
| I've got some good laughs from this episode, especially the fairy scene LOL Oh boi that monster at the end |
| Mh.. I found this part of the story pretty lacking compared to the old anime, and also the quality seemed a bit worse compared to the first episode. Also, is it just me or the kitakita looks way different now? It doesn't seem the same dance as the one of the old anime and the manga at all. I appreciated the pixelated dad and grandpa and a few other things tho. And where the heck is the laughing flower? It was one of the best parts of the entire old anime, a joy of my childhood, and they just cut it out? |
| Funyn episode, I lol'd at the Kukuri's butt thing xD Also... >boss theme xD |

| The part about Nike, Zaza and Toma misunderstanding the weakness of the boss was funny, by continuing to repeat it they ended up twisting into something random. It was also nice to see the motivation of Kukuri after losing the gift she got from Nike. Congrats, the second spell she learns is an huge creepy monster >.> The boss having to follow the script, the goons managing the special effects and the choir xD It was also funny how that monster at the entrace was blocked there because he was too big to enter xD The pace seems to be even accelerating, can't believe they already got this far in only 2 episodes, hope they'll slow down later on. Miss the old music for the kita kita dance, but well, can't be all the same. >forgot about the little opening changes, are they going to put a tiny preview into each opening? |

| Thanks heavens, thats all i wanted from life. I only watched 2 episodes but i feel like this is my favorite anime ever, its like all things i like in the anime are all in one. AND I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS GODLY OPENING. Oresama <3 and Kukuri love. Gonna roll up in my blanket and fall into despair cause i gotta wait 7 days for this masterpiece T.T |
| i absolutely love this show overall, but jesus christ i seriously hope the dancing old man stops being a thing because he is supremely unfunny and basically ruined any scene he was in for me. kukuri a cute. |

It was one of the best parts of the entire old anime, a joy of my childhood, and they just cut it out? I don't know if one shows up later, but I don't remember a flower at all up to this point. The old man looks pretty much identical to me too. |

I watched opening for 50 times already and every time i see him i just cant stop laughing or at least smiling eh, just a different sense of humor i guess. although even if you like it, you have to admit that he took up a LOT of screentime that episode and interrupted a lot of things (though i suppose that is what's supposed to be funny). either way, still love the show. |

He's actually funnier in the old series and in the manga. |
I might actually check out the old series/manga after this season finishes, because this show is really refreshing in a lot of ways and it seems that the general opinion is that the older stuff is a bit better. It's just really cool to see a modern take on an older style like this though. |

I've only seen a few episodes of the older version. |

| The dance was amazing. haha. Loving the show so far. |

I don't think the old guy is funny by himself, he's actually really annoying, but that's his role, being annoying, to both other characters and to the watchers. Can be a good break from all the very fast jokes when he shows up. If you ever saw the anime of pokemon, think of him as jigglypuff, they are the same.. |

| This episode was too good to be true. It's been a while since I've laughed so hard watching an anime. Too bad this is not getting the attention it deserves. |

It's just really cool to see a modern take on an older style like this though. To be clear, this new version has its moments where it's better than ever before, but especially in this episode it was so fast they cut out a ton of very funny things. I think the best on being funny is, and will ever be, the manga, or at least the italian version i read. The english translated one i found online ehhh not so much. The old man will get significant screen time from now on, and i think the same as you, but in some sagas he really did make me laugh, especially in the manga. In this new anime he still haven't tho. QuattroVaginas said: Oh for a second, makes sense I don't remember him. Does he actually get significant screentime later? I've only seen a few episodes of the older version. I said episode 4 because he's right at the start, but it can be seen often through the episode and of course in some episodes before and after. They leave it in Kita so you never see it again, but i wore a mask of it at a con in 2008, so many years after the series was aired, and a lot of people recognized it instantly, so it did make an impression XD It's one of the very few things that are funnier in the anime than in the manga. |
| I thought I'd also tell exactly what are the changes compared to the original stuff, to be clear, and to let you understand what type of content is exactly missing in this new version: - The heroes are invited to Kita by the village chief, not the dancer, and are treated to a feast. The dancer begins his dance but he's interrupted immediately, and it is said that he had trained for that for three whole days. When he stands against the monster, the others realize he's still dressed like that because he was still secretly training. - Zaza laughs defiantly when nike says his title, and he asks why, but it was actually because his sister was tickling him. - The same night they're out with toma zaza and migu, kukuri tries another magic but she fails and summons a giant laughing flower, which, in the anime, has the best laugh I've heard in my life (don't know if it was the italian dubbing or the original), and which stays in the cursed village for days laughing and laughing and laughing. - In the anime, toma's grandpa proposes some more equipments to the kids, very strong but with some funny unbearable flaws. Like a sword too heavy to raise or a shield that actually gets in you in the mood to dance and sing. - The best thing about this dungeon is that it actually has a complex map and some puzzles to solve, just like in a videogame. While confronting all of this, there are some very funny gags that got cut out as well. Not going to enlist the puzzles they solve to traverse the dungeon but they're cool. They eventually find the fairy near the end of the dungeon, not at the start like in this new anime, of course. - Kukuri and migu are actually having fun in the prison, playing some kids games and causing a ruckus. When kukuri says nike will absolutely save them, she imagines him in a very cool and irrealistic way. Later on, when nike says she's an imposter because he's thinking about her rear, she also says he's an imposter because she's thinking about an even more ridicolous kinda cool version of him. - The old dancer is nonsensically tortured by the monsters, and they explain that they don't care about him at all, but since they somehow kidnapped him, they have to torture him some way or they'd lose their reputation. - When the boys find the old man hanging from the ceiling in this new anime, they are angry at him for no reason. Originally, they were because they were secretly spying on the scene of the dancer and the monsters, and the dancer said to the monsters that he had seen something moving behind the door. So they rush to hide better, the monsters go and search and don't find anything, and the dancer says he absolutely had seen someone so they should search better behind any cranny. So they're hiding in fear and anger, and as soon as the monsters go away, they get a revenge. - The boys talk about the girls they like, and this adds to their characterization. Zaza notices toma always says migu's name first, so he likes her, and zaza acts as her father and jokingly says he's not going to give her hand to toma. Toma replies zaza probably likes kukuri because she's a mage, and he becomes red. - In front of the boss, they prepare to fight, but they realize they don't have their weapons anymore. So nike consults a copy of the manga to see where was the last scene where they had them to understand where they left them. - While nike is fighting, the dancer says he's performing an ancient and legendary dance he was saving for an important moment. But no one pays attention. - Nike is about to be struck by the boss, when time stops and a spirit comes out of the sword, announcing a miracle. When time flows again, he wonders what the miracle was. And it was actually the old dancer gaining more stat points (speed +3, strength +2, beauty -5) so he dances more vigorously. But at that point nike sees the magic circle hidden in the dance. - Migu tries to convince kukuri to observe the dancer saying it's a serious matter, but she abruptly bursts in a big laugh because she finds him too stupid. Sorry for any mistake, wrote it fast. |
