| Well alright, I'm just gonna say it: What the hell did I just watch? This was um...certainly something. Even by Dr. Slump standards the narrative, tone, art style and overall vibe for this episode was really...out there. We follow some anthropomorphic poop and ice cream as they tackle notions such as fate and purpose in life as well as finding new homes. All the while we get bizarre scenes with unmoving background characters who look like they don't even belong in the same universe. And then that fatalistic ending. It's almost fitting that this originally aired on a February 29th, a date only observed once every four years. I dunno that I hated this episode or anything, but I'm left mostly perplexed by it. Was everyone on drugs this week? Was Toriyama going through an experimental phase? Am I missing some esoteric reference to another work? I dunno, but next week's Gatchan-focused episode will hopefully be more coherent. Even if only slightly. |
