English Dub Review: Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time Super Extra “Peter Grill and the Inescapable Room”

Overview

Peter and Misslim get locked in a room together, and the only way they can escape is by performing a suspiciously specific action…


Our Take

As the Guild arrives at the dwarf lands and Mithlim’s father, Lord Gordo, invites them to a feast. Luvelia’s father gloats that his sabotage paid off because Peter will get in trouble if he is late to the ceremony. Luvelia tells her father how Gordo wants to dissolve their alliance because the cicada-mole creatures have not been seen in a century, but her father, wanting the money their alliance brings, says the Dwarves still need protection from other threats.

Peter and Mithlim agree to have sex to get the door open, and Peter Grill has to make a compromise to get her going while the Dwarves ceremony is taking place concurrently. As the ceremony begins an unexpected creature makes it’s presence known…

Overall a complete tonal shift of an episode going from wacky sex comedy to fantasy adventure to suspense thriller in terms of how well paced everything progressively got. I also enjoyed Luvelia’s attempt to stand up to her dad about the treaty between the guild and the dwarves as she of the guild potentially being treated like thieves. As for Peter’s predicament, It gave me a good laugh that Peter had to get Mithlim aroused with the promise of a financially stable future and basically promised to marry her indirectly, but that’s definitely a hard bargain to pass up on since she’s more into research than sex. With one more episode left, how could they possibly end this?
