English Dub Review: Sakugan “NO WORK, NO LIFE”

Overview:

Meroro takes Memempu and Gagumber to “Windy Hill” Labyrinth, a once-green forest that is beginning to decay. Can Memempu fix the mechanisms causing the Labyrinth’s recent climate abnormalities?

Our Take:

So I guess there’s climate change and then there’s climate change. Seriously this labyrinth has some serious issues going on but luckily Memempu is a genius and has a plan to solve them. It also poses some interesting questions about the world of Sakugan.

Like was the world up top completely normal before? Have people always lived underground? Was climate change the main issue and will it be a big part of the plot? I don’t know about you but questions like these are what get me really interested in a show and I am looking forward to getting some answers.

The characters continue to be fun and in this episode, Memempu was a little less annoying than she was previously. I hope we get some heartwarming father/daughter moments coming up because that is the kind of thing I love. I also feel like I was a little harsh towards Memempu when Gagumber isn’t exactly acting like a quality dad all the time. So I can see why she acts the way she does from time to time.

Life manages to find a way no matter what happens and hopefully, that is how this show progresses too. I would love to see more from this show. It has been a fun ride so far and I can’t wait to see where we go from here but please come back Zackletu!
