English Dub Review: I’m Standing on a Million Lives “All They Can Do Is Look Up at It”

Overview(Possible Spoilers):

Learn about Thanzamer’s past. He gives his life to protect the boat with the villagers on it. Yusuke tries to think of a way to stop the dragon without fighting it. He rescues a civilian who happens to be a dragon bishop and he is the reason for the dragon awakening. When he goes after Aoiu, Yusuke comes to the rescue and that was the moment she fell in love. After finding some magic circles and breaking them the dragon goes back into the volcano. The dragon bishop is killed by someone called the great sorceress Fatina.

Our Take:

There’s a lot to unpack here. Everything has concluded this episode and I thought it might take a little longer. The dragon ended up being a nonfactor for the most part which was a little disappointing. But then again I don’t think the group of taken the dragon as they currently are so it was a smart way to deal with an insurmountable problem.

Shout out to my boy Thanzamer for literally being entombed in lava to protect the villagers. That guy went out protecting the people of his village, and he didn’t even care for that village. What was interesting was in the beginning segment it showed that he had a “Don’t know what you got till it’s gone” type of moment. I think he was happy being able to protect everyone and I think I caught a smile on his face at the end.

Yusuke just keeps getting the women of this world to fall in love with him. The moment he rescued Aoiu she was smitten, she even told him if he wasn’t from another world she would have married him. The most interesting part of this was the fact that Kusue said the reason for all these girls falling for him is because he actually treats them like people, unlike his part members. I never felt like he treated them real bad, but then again knowing someone can be revived from the dead can make you change your priorities.

They are back in their world and Yusuke was told they will be getting a new member soon. It might be the blonde lady at the end of the episode but time will tell. I hope we get a little more time in this slice-of-life type stuff, more than the last segment at least. In other news, Keita was slightly less of a douche this episode but still not great.
