| That was really such a psychological mindfuck episode about Ataru's mom desires told through dreams. Really amazing episode considering it's actually a filler. |

| Great episode and an awesome new opening! I feel like it might have partly inspired "Moonlght Densetsu" |
| It was okay at first |
| Finally a new opening. Gave me some Sailor Moon vibes and the ending of this episode was on some Eva shit. I'm a fan of Ataru's mom since the beginning and this episode exploring her "midlife crisis" was hilariously brilliant. The super super sale wrestling was merely just another noon in her life compared to the insanity that followed. 5/5 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What an insane episode to change the OP and ED with lol, they were both very good both visually and musically, it feels weird for the OP to change since it’s been the same since the beginning until now but it’s a welcome change. But this episode was really good, Ataru’s mom going through crazy dream sequences on loop after seeing a bit of her POV at the beginning of the episode was super interesting, so many cool scenes and also horrific ones, like some really good psychological horror which I’m a big fan of. The ending bit seemed like a reference to the classic “War of the Worlds” with those alien machines that looked like tripods which I’m also a big fan of, both the musical and different iterations of the story, and then ending on a confusing note, but my guess is either that little girl was the one having the dream, or it’s a young version of Ataru’s mom. Either way, really loved this one and I think it’s one of my favorites episodes so far. |
| This episode felt like animated poetry. And as a poem, it doesn't always have to be "clear" - I liked that it ended without giving any explanation. It reminded me of "Paprika", with its dreamy atmosphere and its psychological references. Thanks to some unconventional episodes like this, this series really surpassed my expectations! |
| ...Huh. Y'know, these more recent serious episodes are great, in a vaccum. But, it does feel more and more like Mamoru Ooshi's influence is starting to make the anime drift further and further from the tone of the source material, which I'm not sure how I feel about. |
| By far the best episode so far, feels perfect in almost every way. I wish the show had more weird and interesting ideas that get executed to this level of insanity. |
