Definitely could've done without the homophobic and transphobic material.

Oh please. As if Japan cares about what you bleeding-heart liberal children think.

This was back when things were allowed to be funny, without fear of SJW tumblrinas throwing tantrums.

Huh, The first Drag-on in anime history. That's something.

Poor Gourry though.


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

Classic "male crossdresser is looking the best" episode.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The main joke of the episode didn't age well. I was still entertained my how fast they corrupted Amelia.

Really loved this episode to pieces! Well Goury was cute.

The idiots freezing in the cold waiting in ambush at the Mountain of Tears. LOL

Seems like 25 years ago Japan already loved making men look like women. And to me it was never funny, not even 25 years ago.

goury was cute, but I wish he would have just gone with the flow.

Also that humor at the end with the "gay" dragon sure doesn't hold up well... Actually, none of the humor in this episode held up well.

I don't think the crossdressing bit was meant to be transphobic, though homophobia, yes.

why homophobia? gourry is not gay so he felt uncomfortable by valun's advances, but valun thought gourry was a woman, so it isn't really ''gay''
and as someone mentioned, this show is almost 30 years old, a simple man in drag gag is not bad at all by the year's standard.

most of the time, it isn't supposed to be funny but fanservice. albeit gourry's too big and muscular to attract that kind of audience so it's an obvious gag. i think 00's is when it became fetishy instead due to bridget.

I watched this nearly two years ago, but wasn't there a dragon at the end of the episode that was clearly meant to be a gay stereotype?...

somewhat, though i think you can call that part ''transphobic'' moreso as he was called an ''okama'' , i honestly view everything in this episode as an attempt to be funny rather than outright malicious though tbh.

I actually just went and rewatched the scene, it was completely different than I remember it being, also yah, now I'm more of the thought that it was nearly 30 years ago, so what ever.

What did I just watch? pure kino. Gourry would make a great femboy.

That this episode ticks off those with a political persuasion most alligned with low IQ individuals is just icing on top of the cake.

Most shows drop off in the middle, this one picks up and gets better.
