English Dub Review: Let This Grieving Soul Retire “At This Rate, I’d Rather Be Somewhere Else”

Overview

House Gradis directly requests Krai for a job. To get out of it, he goes on vacation.



Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story comedically doubles down on its trademark chaos as Krai’s plan for a quiet vacation becomes a magnet for misunderstandings before it can even start. Tino once again bears the brunt of the fallout, from relentless gag framing to being forced into wearing a cursed mask relic that turns routine tasks into another ordeal. Even the clan members who stay behind aren’t spared, quickly realizing that avoiding Krai somehow leads to even worse trouble.

Much of the proceedings puts focus on Tino, in particular, who gets hit with two standout subplots: being forced into wearing a cursed mask that pushes her abilities and her sanity to uncomfortable levels, and an encounter involving Sand Rabbits that escalates far beyond what anyone intended. Both threads play into the show’s running gag that effort is rarely rewarded, especially for her. The tone stays breezy and self-aware, even as it becomes increasingly obvious that leaving town could somehow add to the chaos…

Overall, the episode confidently leans into what the series does best: Dumb luck and colorful cast interactions, along with a protagonist whose greatest “ability” is attracting catastrophe wherever he goes. Tino’s cursed mask ordeal and the escalating misunderstandings underline that this so-called vacation is doomed before it even begins, and the show is at its funniest when it fully embraces that inevitability, and I can’t wait to see it go down.
