Hey, I know!

I figured out the perfect other solution! Place Mikihisa into hiding.

Go and find an alien living on earth disguised as a human from an almost extinct species (like the ones from episode 4). Get him and Saki really drunk one night.

Let the magic happen!

They were going extinct anyway, so why not go out with a bang?

I think it was simple and ultimate solution that kill MIKIHISA (it's family name).
Well, it's not absurd at all IMO.

That wouldn't have made Kraft react the way he did, because he brought up the idea of killing her off half way into the episode.

Yeah... this ep was kind of lame. It went from last episode's surprise yuri (which I liked) to sex changes and evil aliens who are in fact *gasp!* evil aliens.

2nd dreadful solution: Seduce the Mikihisa which practically lead to g*y s*x, so he/she will never love the queen again.

p/s: Never trust the woman tears of a woman. That is the one of the few truths that hold throughout the galaxy.

& it's one of those epic lines you expect to hear in a Shounen JUMP series.

I think the real troll twist was that there was no troll twist this time.

Meh. It was okay but it wasn't great.

mangalowres · 2011-03-08, 18:51

Worst ep of this show but still better than most of the best eps from the other shows.

Next week Colour Rangers again and some hot girls. I want to see the teacher again =)

Oh and the second solution was ... *censored* ... and ... *censored* ... .
Sick, isn't it.

You (and most people who are saying this was a bad episode) don't quite get it. The troll this episode was that there wasn't any real troll. I was thinking all sorts of absurd possibilities as to where and how I would be tricked and it just didn't come. Derp. This author is such a master troll.

I don't think the show has to keep dishing out highly elaborate jokes to keep us entertained (i.e, fool us). A sudden change of pace like this episode is just as great at that. I mean, I can't count the number of people who were like "I so saw that male->female bit coming" at the end of last episode. Had you had any of them predict, none of them would have predicted that there would be nothing special next episode, especially given how the prince was going to be involved and given the foreshadowing with his comment about mating when he was bug-hunting. This was as good a catch as any thus far, really. Tells us to stop over thinking things and just enjoy it.

Oh and about the high quality drama part... hasn't that always been the case with this show? It gives you really really heavy stuff but doesn't attempt to provide a resolution and just lets it be and attempts to make you laugh and enjoy yourself instead. Way way better than the myriads of shows that attempt and fail heavily at a mature solution. I mean, the solution in second arc was that they left (still accursed). The solution this arc was that the gender bender got to live the way she wanted (maybe. The fish at the end was ominous).

Yes. I don't think Level E is troll anime. Real troll anime is something like Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica. (Magical girl + Dark factor + Yuri)

No that's just a different type of troll. Level E simply trolls everyones plot predictions, whereas Madoka Magika trolls everyone's expectations of the whole genre.

Yup, MG re-defined the Magical Girl genre, but Level E, on the other hand, makes fun of the genre itself [Aliens] and the past arcs turned up to be trolls made by Prince Baka....

so everyone was expectin' that this arc was a troll as well.

another golden line from the Prince, mixing facts and lies "I used to be a women too"

Kraft + Prince = winning combination

Definitely ^TT^

kk2extreme · 2011-03-10, 00:54

I think the second option is to sex change Kraft and have his fall in love and mate with Mikihisa instead

revive4563 · 2011-03-10, 02:57

Actually, they are different type of troll.

Level E has a lot of troll factor by mainly in the story as comedy but also there are originality (at least in 1995) and thoughtful plot in a way.
Even if Prince didn't troll at all, I think this is a good series in its own way.

Meanwhile, Madoka Magica's main purpose is sensationalism. Main plot itself is a traditional "Sekai-kei" thing like Utena or Eva. Then love and hate,
hope and death, madness and bizarre were portrayed in the world of magical girl that should be lovely and cute.

This is a real troll.
