A Fall house and a haunted house. Dragon house hunting episode 2 impression

Dragon house hunting episode 2 finally out yesterday and now is the time to do another review. I knew that an anime like Dragon house hunting may not be known to most anime watchers due to how unique this title is. However, the second episode managed to make me giggle a bit through some of parody crammed into it.

Letty was also a slow brainer for a bonus 

The episode started with Letty thanked Dearia the elf for saving him from the hero attack. Dearia introduced himself to Letty and gave him a name card. Interestingly enough, the card not only introduced him as a real estate agent, it also mentioned him as a Demon King. Did that means he was an elf as well as the lord of the demon? Considering his powerful magic, it was possible that he was also an experienced adventurer with abundant knowledge. As I watched this anime from the second episode outing, I found out that this anime was more relaxed in nature so it was a perfect watch if you dislike overly difficult to comprehend plots and just want a few laughs/refreshment.

You only need the ink ribbon actually cause the typewriter belong to the save room lol

First, Dearia teleported Letty in front of a big mansion that looks like an ancient Greek’s architecture complete with a gigantic door. Letty was still as pathetic as the first episode ever lol. Just as he got inside he already activated a trap and got dropped to the bottom dungeon. For your information, the first house that Dearia bring Letty to visit was like a dungeon filled with traps and maze, which according to the elf was difficult enough for ordinary adventurers to traverse. Dearia told him that in order to made him safe from harm, he should live in a place full with dangerous contraptions to repel invaders. He just didn’t know that the red dragon was a bit too careless living in that kind of environment. From the first time entering the place, he already fell three times, got shoot by arrows, activated boulder trap which thrashing him down, and along with his not functional wings, he had to climb the wall if he fell down lol. Letty even got a sore shoulder from too many climbing activities he had to do in that house hahaha.

Remember me and my beautiful voiced onesan xD

After successfully escaped his first “home” trial, Letty told the elf that the house was a bit too dangerous for living. Therefore, he asked for different home and Dearia said that he had a perfect house in mind. The ones that even an experienced adventurer will think twice before entering. The elves sent Letty to an old haunted house. What a hopeless dragon Letty was. Not only to human, he was afraid to both Ghosts and scary thing and having a haunted house as a home seems like a nightmare for him. This was the part where the anime tried to parody some of the horror video games and movies. For example, Dieria gave letty an ink ribbon and a typewriter, which were used to save a game in Resident Evil game, when inside the haunted house, as well as giving him a dust cleaner similar to the one used in Luigi’s mansion. The anime even tried to take the parody further by adding Ju-on’s little ghost inside Letty’s room. Yup, somehow it did manage to make me chuckle a bit. However, it was still not enough to make me burst into laughter. Maybe because it tried so hard to imitate other sources but incapable to create smart jokes inside the dialogues.

At least the ghouls like him

Inside the haunted house, the pair also met with the ghouls-tachi and the previous owner of the house, a wraith named Samuel, who was actually Dearia’s old friend from his adventuring times. One scene did manage to make me laugh; P that is when the Letty wake up and found he was surrounded by Ghouls thus he lost consciousness for the second time immediately. After he woke up, the wraith told him that he and Dearia know each other before and he would like him to buy the property. Unfortunately, staying in a haunted house was not Letty’s dream either so he declined the offer politely. The Wraith told to Dearia that he also had dragon companion before. Dearia did admitting that maybe his old memory was the reason why he had a soft spot for a dragon. Not to mention that although Letty was a complete coward, overly dramatic and hopeless dragon, he was also a kind, timid, and polite dragon.

lol The dragon hate scary thing and buying the house will keep them company xD

I am still thinking that the anime need to find a way to create better jokes. Some of the parody may work for other viewers but not with me. The only part manages to made me laugh was when I saw how fast he got back to sleep just after waking up xD. I think comedy anime like kokkurisan and the first season of Umaru still were more than capable to make a better laugh; even from the first episode. The Red dragon and the Demon elf king still need to work harder to entertain the audiences if comedy was their genre. In short, the main story about an elf helping a dragon finding his dream house is original but the jokes used inside still need better script if this anime want to be remembered as a better comedy anime.
