Yamato-san
I own the 5th gen
I knew it. I knew it, I knew it, I so f***in' knew it. Zenigame was out of its ball at the beginning of the episode just for the hell of it, just like Cotoise was in those Banebuu episodes. If I gotta look at the thing, I at least want a decent reason that's better than a cheap plot device (if only Eneko, the more preferred uber, were still around.... it would've definitely been in the turtle's place and make it snow using Blizzard). To make things worse.... Usohachi and Gonbe were out just for the hell of it as well. Too many babies and no beer make Yamato something something. Ironically, Manene (the only good one) never appeared the whole time.
And I can agree.... this plot did looked rushed, not actually going back in time until after the eyecatch. And as some before me have mentioned, not enough Haruka and Nyaasu interaction and no realistic reaction from Haruka in such a situation makes me sad as well (for that matter, I find it off that Haruka's the one who states that they must've fell into a time slip. Nyaasu is one to seem very well-educated at times, likely from his years of learning human lifestyles and language, and Haruka's in the same boat as Satoshi, always needing Takeshi or someone to explain these complex situations. It's minor, but just making Nyaasu say the line instead would've made it look less like a slip-up). And I still don't get what the f*** was up with that "time slip". Celebi appeared like two episodes earlier, they really couldn't have made this episode connect to that in anyway? I don't know, maybe Celebi should've struck Haruka by accident, and over the next couple of episodes, she acts strange (even glows at some point), obviously the result of some of Celebi's power rubbing onto her until it finally gets unstable enough to go off in this episode.
This episode wasn't all bad, though. As Gravy mentioned, seeing Musashi get smacked in the face by the rock before she could pull off her usual thieving routine was very funny. Speaking of which, this whole episode took a break from Rocket Dan making a scene, and I'm glad Nyaasu simply walked away at the end. Also, it was great to see that poetic, moon-gazing side of Nyaasu after so friggin long, in fact, I think this would be the first time that Haruka becomes aware of that aspect of him. Ever since AG began, I don't think Haruka got a chance to see Nyaasu's true self. And I liked the main plot somewhat.... this would be the first time the anime makes reference to a pregnancy as far as I know. Yay for something new (though, it is ironic that we only get to see the grandchild.... this episode just skipped over showing a whole generation, didn't it?). And was that a cameo by Gentleman I saw bumping into her (I know, it's decades in the past, but with cameos, characters can pop up literally anywhere)? Oh, and of course the egg finally hatching was a good thing, and I was relieved that it was an Eievui afterall (though, seeing the characters talk while that egg was glowing put me on the verge of shouting "show what's in that friggin egg already").
I guess I'd give this the same rating as Gravy. Some parts sucked (too.... many..... babies....), but some aspects counter it, so I guess I wouldn't put this near the realm of "worst episodes".
