You know, this was actually very adorable. In this episode Watashi gets sent to some random island along with a truck full of fairies in order to “cultivate” it. A few episodes ago it was outlined that the more fairies there were, the more luck you have. This episode showed that you can also overdo it a bit.
The result is an entire civilization being built consisting out of all sorts of monuments, only to collapse again due to a lack of resources. The whole process was quite interesting; again lots of sweets were involved, but I also liked how the fairies basically invented their own foods on a whim. The different buildings and clothing were quite imaginative.
Also, the episode order of this is completely random: this episode showed Assistant again, and acted as if he had been there for ages. Ideally speaking, I’d have liked it if the creators emphasized this random order a bit more. I mean, at this point there are only two stories that really made use of this: the story about her getting her hair cut, and the story of meeting Assistant. Other than that, I noticed that things that happen in one episode are never mentioned in the other again. Whether it prevents the series from coming together or not… I can’t say that yet at this point.
Also, why is grandfather always messing with a gun during the introductions?
Rating: 5/8 (Great)
The fairy on drugs joke was awesome…
This episode started with Watashi admitting how it’s her fault the fairies population went up. I wonder if it’s a reference to the Pioneer arc or something completely new we’ll see later.
Also, the social analogy of Queen-Watashi trowing pastries to the fairy population was quite bizarre, yet subtle; this girl is on the edge of her sanity.
