English Dub Review: City the Animation Episode 10

OVERVIEW (SPOILERS)

Summer Break! Noodle Deliveries! Plays about Echidnas!

OUR TAKE

Damn, if I had been here last week, I could’ve said welcome to City WALK! But I’m here now, and we’re back to episodes that are full of mostly disconnected, though still quite humorous, series of events that are fun to watch but arduous to discuss in this format. However, we do have some continuation of previous segments, specifically Tatewaku, still in his tattered clothes and assuming he and Riko Izumi are dating, being given a stark reminder that no, he is not, and then proceeding to drill through the earth out the other end in embarrassment. But it’s okay, because the post credits gag is him going through several fake episode previews of following her to an island with some sort of floating bag or something. It’s honestly a pretty clever gag, making use of the expected format for episode previews, even though the amount of scenes that they cover really could’ve just been one whole episode on their own. But you likely see, for the umpteenth time, that just about the only analysis and critique I can give here is simply explaining the joke, which I can’t imagine is too thrilling of a read for…whoever is reading this.

But hey, we’ve got three episodes left of this show to cover, so what can we expect before things wrap up? Well, some ongoing story threads are probably going to have some sort of resolution, like Eri finally going away with her family to England after the summer is over, which will probably have some sort of both hilarious and sad end as they say goodbye…or a total fake out ending and the two will remain close friends. Also, this whole thing with Tatewaku and Riko, assuming it hasn’t been resolved already by this very episode! Oh, and maybe Tanabe will finally ask out that hot deliveryman she keeps waiting to ask her out. And for all we know, maybe the final episode will just be something else that’s completely unrelated from everything we’ve seen before! I can’t put anything past this show at this point, but what I do know for sure is that watching it is a hell of a lot more fun than writing about each individual episode for hundreds of words per week! Still, if it gets people to watch more of this and Nichijou, I suppose that’s still a win in the end. See ya then!
