| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So he was waiting 50 years for her... damn that was a really strong episode... |
| Looks like I'll be the first to dissent here: wasn't all that impressed with this episode. The long-divided pure love romance was rather cheesy, the grandma wasn't an interesting character (I suppose a demure old traditional-Japanese lady isn't all that common in anime.) The search/chase around London was rather silly, and the way the language issue was skirted around started niggling at me: Yuriko explicitly says 'thanks', yet how is the old lady able to communicate? Does she speak in broken English? But there's little indication of such. Much of the travels seemed more a chance for the writer to throw in random factoids about England rather than parts of an interesting episode. I suppose I can appreciate that it's all rather goofy and underplayed, avoiding the melodramatic. Perhaps there's meant to be some underlying contrast between the traditional woman and the modern and headstrong Yuriko, but that didn't really seem to be a theme so much as this just being Yuriko pushing the old gran along to success. Maybe I'm a little bitter since I find Yuriko one of the more charming regular characters of Keaton and yet this episode was neither atmospheric, engaging, exciting, nor interesting in its details. A waste of her screen-time. |
| Damn Yuirko's naivety nearly got her killed. She reminds me of Ran from Detective Conan, strong but really naive and stupid sometimes. |

| i kinda want to complain about a lot of things but won't since i'm in a sentimental mood lol |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Is Keaton's broken leg from episode 6 of the OVA? Seems like this episode should come after that one, then. |
| How cute, Yuriko and Mrs. Shiratori were chatting in a place called "May". |
