Timeless Dreams Anime Blog

Sorry guys for me being as tired as hell again (don’t ask me what I’ve done, I’ve only had a testweek..) So this review will be short as well. Wanatuki prepares some things I forgot to remember for Yuuko and the bunch. Only because she called him 5.00 AM for making it. Muahaha. Too evil. They all get gidly and leaving one for Wanatuki. He wants to give it to Himawari, but she has left town for a few days. Wanatuki is lonely in the park and Doumeki eats the thing, and Wanatuki get’s REALLY angry.

A cute girl comes who wants to talk to Wanatuki but is too shy for it and get’s the thingey out of Doumeki’s stomach and is off, not realising that she has taken Doumeki’s soul as well. Wanatuki is really to blame for it, and Mokona and a big bird comes out of the sky and they chase the girl. Mokona was too cool to be true, such a small animal, and such a large beast. Wonderfull. They get chased by some idiot dwarves without a beard, and Mokona shows them whose boss. Wanatuki falls, the girl catches him and she is nice and in the background Mokona keeps chasing the dwarves. Sooo cool. The thingey gets where it always should have been and so on and so on.

I don’t think much about this episode. It was about ghost telling, and of Yuuko and her couple skilles. But the ghost stories weren’t in my eyes scary, maybe that’s just because I always imagine with that ghost stories that it’s just a story. This may ruin the fun for me, but I think it’s a method I’ve develloped to not scare myself. So, I didn’t think much about this episode, the only story I liked was the story of Wanatuki. And of course, Mokona eating a watermelon.

Forgive me for this review, I’m tired.

This episode really looked like an episode before. Remember the woman who lied constantly?
Well. Here we have a woman whose pinky also is a pain. But it’s different. Yuuko gives her a ring, and that settles it. But Wanatuki is worried, and follows her.

We discover that the woman is manipulating guys by saying she is the one for all of them. In the end, those guys meet eachother. Muahaha. This is the concept of this story, but it gets better. We have a Pipe Fox as well, protecting Wanatuki, and Doumeki and Wanatuki coming ’closer’ to eachother. I don’t think Wanatuki really hates him, and Doumeki just thinks Wanatuki is weird. I loved the ‘Fox Pipe Dance’ Wanatuki preformed. And of course: Mokona drinking. This Mokona is so different from the Mokona of Tsubasa Chronicle. But maybe that’s just because there is no liquid in that anime.  

The bunch arrives in Edo! With an eating contest! They want to participate, but they have to pay something. Because they are completly broke, Mugen robs Jins swords, and gives it with is own sword as contribution. They all have to win to get it back. Sounds simple! But Jin is counted out, and even pushing Mugen doesn’t help Mugen from fainting. That was the most funny thing ever because we really saw Jin angry because he can’t lose his samurai swords. But damn it, Fuu can eat! She is the second one, because she accidentally gave up^^. The winning goes too… a foreigner. And not just a foreigner! A Dutchie^^.

He has the swords of the samurais, and in order to get them back, the Dutchie wants to get sideseeing in Edo. Well, Jin bluffs himself right through it. They almost get caught, because there are no westerners allowed in Japan. They run, they hide, they go to a play, the Dutchie falls in love with the actresse. The actresse turns out to be a man.

The Dutchie appears to be gay. It’s so typical, a land of flowers, wind, wooden shoes, big guys, gays, and ones with a great stomach. It couldn’t be any different. Because the Dutchie saw a book about homosexuality in Japan, he thought it would be heaven for him. But… The arresting team comes in, followed by some interesting guys. And there.. the fun starts.

They are all Hollanders, in order to come to the Dutchie! They speak Dutch ‘WAT, de brutaliteit!’ (What how rude)^^, they fight, it’s fun. But even for me, I’m Dutch, I had a little problem in understanding what they say. But that was just because there was a new language. Our biggest friend turns out to be the son of the govenour of the Japanese-Holland trading thingey, so he has permission to go to Japan. And then, the part that really was so funny! It is probably not understandable for someone that can’t speak any Dutch, but the conversation was too hilarious. The grammatic was good, the pronounce was good too, but they made one great, wonderful mistake. They talked to the Dutchie with ‘Opperhoofd’. Opperhoofd means Chief of Indians. Not ‘govenour’. ^^ Ghehe^^

The bunch is going to Nagasaki, because Fuu had some of the possesions of the samurai that smells like sunflowers. It is something that can not be seen in Japan. That can only mean some things. Probably something Western, otherwhise we wouldn’t have seen our ’Opperhoofd’. The most probable thing is that the sign was Christen… We shall see, we shall see.^^

When I look at this, I begin to wonder why on earth this is a decent anime. The last three episodes made me see that men are just perverted creatures. So does this episode. It’s such a shame. It is because that I know it gets better, otherwhise this anime might would have been dropped. And yes, I’m prudish. Fuu, Mugen and Jin need money to cross the ferry. They have all their own ways to do so. Mugen just robs people, Jin makes a bet in a chess play, Fuu goes modelling. It’s only a shame that she doesn’t realise on that moment that she is modelling for pornographic pictures.

Mugen, after robbing some guys, buys some food, eats the food, and then reminds himself that he needed money for the ferry. So what do you do then? YES! You rob some more guys!^^ He crosses Fuu and some weird guy, and is off again.

Fuu is kidnapped after her painting is finished. Otherwhise. She is tricked. She gets really angry, also when she finds out that she will be sold as a slave to European Ships. European men… Sign. The weirdo is really down because of this and he thinks that he should rescue her.

After slapping him, Fuu wants to know how many were before her. We don’t really get an answer because the two of them are caught. Fuu is kidnapped again. The Weirdo is beat the hell out of him. But, luckily he runs into Mugen, and Mugen solved the case easily. Jin wins the chess game, and they have the money of the ferry. The weirdo is off to Holland. The End. Again. I liked the fact that there were European artist named, like Gaugain and Vincent Van Gogh, the only problem is that those Japanese don’t know how to pronounce their names. The fact that I really disliked was the fact that was lain on men. I like those small things of Mugen that he decides to rob people, but the rest.. I don’t give a shit.

With this part, we end one arc, and the journey continues. We know the cliffhanger of last episode, Jin and the Brat are in the brothel, Mugen is in the brothel, everybody meets, they fight, Jin and the Brat run, after his sister Suzu refuses to come back. Suzu has to work, because if she runs away, her father will be killed. And that is something Fuu just can’t understand. Suzu asks if Fuu has a family, she hasn’t. Everyone left in her family she hates, sees them as a burden. We will learn more of that during the serie.^^

Mugen is meanwhile pissed off, because his boss won’t let him fight anymore. He just uses Mugen, and Mugen doesn’t appreciate that. He walks away, even that he knows that some guys will be after him. He only enjoys that. Meanwhile the meanwhile, Suzu has some rude custumors in the time that her little Brat is in the area. The brat stabbed the custumor to death. This leads to some problems, because someone has to pay for this. The father of the brat is the same leader of the Kawara clan, so he has to make contribution for it. But the other clan has something nice too:
They are going to gamble. If Kawara loses, the father has to commit suicide. If they win, they win the brat, but they lose the island. Both of the parties have to come with a dealer, but the Kawara has no dealer, so they are in a disadvantage.

Mugen, meanwhile, is out of town, but that’s why I love conscience. He goes back, to rescue Fuu. Fuu, runned away. ‘BAKA!’, Mugen gets angry and they all go to the gambling thingey. But because there is no dealer, the Kawara clan sees Fuu as a dealer.

And there you are, in the company of two clans that can easily kill you, including Jin. What do you do?  Yes. You bluff youself right through it. And so does Fuu.^^ And she really looked cool, I have to say. The Kawara clan loses, the father commits suicide. A fight is on the lose after Mugen busted in. Nobody came after him, he said, so he came himself. The three are together again, on the way for the samurai that smells like sunflowes. Suzu is out of the brothel, and a happy ending. How nice!
