Edoropolis Emporium

So I just finished watching this one, leftover pizza in hand. And eventually stomach, but hey, we all know how the digestive system works.

I wouldn't put this episode on my favorites list, but it was solidly entertaining. The "weather machine" plot isn't exactly original, but I suppose it doesn't really need to be since the whole show is a parody. The ninja crows (or, apparently, "Birdbrain Battalion") got a lot of action in this episode, even successfully capturing Speedy. Bad Bird also seemed... more evil than usual. His admiration for the kidnapping plot and his declaration that the good guys wouldn't win while he was alive seemed surprisingly dark for his character.

Big Cheese is still a whiny, arrogant fool whose plans never really make sense, so no big change there. For once, though, he's actually out in the field and away from Jerry, who's not even in the episode.

The episode had some pretty funny jokes, my personal favorite being a reference to Kurosawa films such as Seven Samurai. The fourth wall was broken a lot less often than usual, it seemed, and there was no narration over Speedy's stock Ginzu sword sequence, which made it feel like it dragged on a bit too long for me.

Overall, it wasn't a bad episode, but certainly not one of the better ones I've seen, either. I'd give it around a 6.5/10.

to tell the truth, this episode was the less interesting to me, I also would give it a 6 or a 6.5

You are just sad Speedy lost the first battle!

Actually, that was my favorite part. Ninja Crows need more respect!

True enough. While yes, this is not my favorite episode, it still has some good stuff... interesting, I never really noticed Jerry was missing before... guess I'll have to go watch it again!
