This is the first episode I almost turned off. The beginning is so bad, all because of Nadia. How can anyone be that stupid? I don't know what is going on with King, they have literally turned him into a Looney Tunes character. I'm starting to think this whole series should have been about the Grandis crew, it certainly would have been better without Nadia and her despicable behavior. Are there really 10 more episodes of this awful arc, I'm not sure if I can get through it if the rest are this bad.

This episode is exactly what I think the inner monologue of a fanatic terror vegan in puberty is like. (you know the people who make it the sole purpose of their life to tell others that they are vegan)
I think it physically hurt me to watch it.. but that is nothing in compare the the psychological harm it did...
The whole Nadia vegan arc wreaks of incomprehensible self-contradicting stupidity

I envy Jean... at least he had a dream about a talking sausage... I rather had watched an episode about that dream than this episode

The worst thing is.. I know people that are exactly like Nadia in her worst moments.. but they have none of her redeeming qualities.. I think that made it all the harder for me to watch this episode..

When this aired on local TV yesterday (like, the 1st time in probably several years!) the scenes with Jean & Marie in the cave suddenly partially shifted back and forth between 'normal' (doesn't seem to mean much during this arc) and looking like washed-out, Multiple-Generation VHS copies, different ratios (?) and even the Audio/Voicework became parts-out-of-synch. Is it only me or has anybody else experienced the same problem?

This almost seems like anti-vegetarian propaganda, in which Nadia is the strawman vegetarian. The arguments are that bad.

Exactly my issue with this episode. In earlier episodes she had rather reasonable arguments and I was hoping the show could make people think about their meat consumption without directly attacking them. But all this seems shattered now that she's just repeating herself over and over again and doesn't understand how people could eat animals even in emergency situations. It's a big difference if, for example, a 'murican dad gets angry because he doesn't get his beef steak on Sunday opposed to people living in arctic regions who hunt fish and other animals in order to survive because most of the time it's the only option.

I also noticed this. It is probably due to missing or lost cels during the remastering process. I have seen some scenes before (even in the earlier episodes) that have a lower resolution than the rest. But none of those were as bad as in this episode. I don't know what went wrong there.

Nadia definitely lost her mind ever since she entered the island. Hard to believe a fucking four year old is the only kid thinking rationally now

I was wondering the same thing. Then I thought that my copy has this error. Then I took a look at the Czech TV RIP 1080i version for another episode with the same error, and that stuff still present. I can also guess it is a missing CEL shenanigan

Not as bad as the previous one, Jean was a bit too pushy with her eating meat and what he did at the start was dick move for him but it makes sense considering the situation they're in, its eating meat or starving to death. Also, Nadia is vegetarian, not full-on vegan, I think both of their arguments regarding eggs are valid. There's some progress with Gargoyle and we get to learn a bit about Nadia. Second half is a bit dumb but they finally kissed!.. even if they won't show it for reasons.

All right so on top of all other things for which Nadia has been unlikeable so far, I'm gonna add "Non consensual kiss" which could even be considered sexual assault in some most countries.

Image the role were reversed, and Nadia was high on mushrooms and clearly not in her right mind for any kind of consent and Jean would have kissed her - but hey, it's Nadia, the most unlikeable main character I've seen in a long, long while.

moral of the episode : Nadia is DUMB AS FUCK!!
also, if you ate a can in that condition, you'd have a chance of getting botulism and dying!
well at least there was some bits of comedy, and that 10 seconds with Team Rocket was the best part!
Lol Jean was TRIPPING! i think i'm gonna have to start tripping while watching to finish this series

I hated the filler arcs in Naruto and Bleach back in the day but honestly seeing how absolutely dire filler used to be makes me almost grateful for the bare minimum quality those shows were able to deliver. Nadia's sudden massive personality reset really can only be explained as massive brain damage. The comments were honestly being kind when they said these episodes were worthless. If this shit happened ten episodes ago I would've just dropped the show.
