That was just amazing.
Seriously, what I just watched was without a doubt the best episode of Milky Holmes yet. I didn’t think it was possible, but this show surpassed itself yet again. It had such a simple premise, and Arsene&co weren’t involved at all here for a change. But good lord, this was a simple yet awesome idea really well executed. I really hope that other creators watch this series, because we need more episodes like this.
By far the most priceless part of the episode was the very beginning. That was just like waking up from a really bad acid trip, only to witness something even more bizarre. Kokoro waking up in that train, in the midst of everyone calmly sitting with some of the most bizarre outfits. It’s just comedic gold. The rest of the episode explaining how the heck everything happened was also just brilliant.
Also, I have no clue what Golgo of all people was doing there. But that also was just an awesome parody that the creators pulled here. The rest of this episode was also just full of the most bizarre twists, including people getting kicked off the train in some of the weirdest fashions (I also loved the reactions of the people waiting at the different stations with this). I mean, random humour is one thing, but this episode pulled so many wtf-twists that it took that to a whole different level. And yet everything was tied together due to the whole premise of this episode.
Seriously, we NEED more episodes like this. Always having these kinds of episodes would of course be too much, and would make them less special, but what I’m saying is that there should be more room for episodes to just go crazy or to play around with narrative. This just does not happen often enough. Part of the fun of storytelling is telling stories in an interesting way.
Rating: **** (Fantastic)
OMG THE FIRST FANTASTIC RATING OF THE YEAR.
And to be a 100% honest, I did not expect that show to be the one to achieve it. It looks kind of silly to my tastes and I heard bad things about season 1 so this is kinda shocking, not like Level E that came around the same time and was completely new, to me at least.
It doesn’t just look silly. It is incredibly silly.
There are big differences between this series and Level E, though. In Level E, the characters were fairly smart. This show takes stupid to new levels. Level E also had much better characters, while this series has much better animation. Overall I consider Level E to be much better than this series, but nevertheless this show always has me in stitches with every episode.
I knew you would love this episode. The Golgo,Nanoha’s raging heart, the robot’s robotic dance. Best episode in season 2. The lard eating guy is real pitiful.
I just noticed that this is available worldwide on Niconico (niconico.com/anime). I thought it was only going to be in USA/Canada like the other ones available. They’re quite a bit behind though .. only episode 2 is up đ At least I’ll eventually get to see it all
I tried to watched this show on NicoNico and I got this message:
This show only available for the following regions:
AUSTRALIA
CANADA
NEW ZEALAND
SOUTH AFRICA
UNITED KINGDOM
UNITED STATES
Ahh .. my bad. I guess I’m just lucky as normally New Zealand is not included
This is the absolute worst detective mystery series that has ever been conceived ever.
Funny show though.
