***Spoiler Warning: Pleasantville (1998) ***
Hell is other suburbs. I can think of no place I'd rather avoid than an American suburb. But what if you where isekai'd to one by an evil genie TV repairman? Sounds like you're in Pleasantville (1998). We give everything away about this film. Again we see sitcom nostalgia and suburban ennui rear it's ugly head in our "Is it an Isekai" segment. More like UnPleasantville, am I right? Upsettingville, more like. NPR's Shittown, more like! Okay I'll stop. Segment starts at (13:58)
In lieu of an Otaku Glossary, we talk a bit about what show to watch next. It's a brief conversation as we come to a decision pretty quickly. I don't think we'll be leaving our next show up to the dice for a while. Our chat starts at (21:04)
In this weeks ep we cover:
Episode 10: It Seems Ringo's Worked Up the Courage to Become a Hunter! (30:30)
Episode 11: It Seems Keine Can't Stand Naughty Boys! (59:02)
Episode 12: It Seems High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World! (1:28:12)
Closing thoughts at (1:45:36)
We've learned our lesson folks. What more can we say about High School Prodigies Have it Easy Even in Another World. While they were having it easy, we were busting our damn brains trying to understand just what we were watching. With these 3 episodes the show manages to stretch our credulity even further than before. Eugenics superbabies? The war on drugs? An actual nuke? They're all in this episode baby! Like Oslo El Gustave, this show just would not stay down and it is batshit form minute one to minute done. Although we learned a great deal about isekai and the wide array of wish fulfillment fantasies they can cater to, by the end we're practically begging for a forced lobotomy (which is also included in these episodes). Thanks for joining us on this strange journey to another world. Up next: Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World!
