If you smeelelelelelelelele what the dragon is cooking; Dragon goes house hunting episode 7
The episode before the current Dragon goes house hunting was closed with Letty and Pip got captured by a human and they ended up in a cage.The episode started with two guardsmen told Letty to stay in his cell and behave. They even added that they didn't want their goods to be damaged. Letty instantly thought for the worst that they intended to made a dragon equipment from his hide or claws. Yet, he was mistaken.. What they mean with merchandise was actually they considered Letty as an important asset that they needed to protect because he was the source of their income. So without further ado here comes the episode of a fighting home; a home where various monsters was pitted against each other for sport and entertainment xD (There was a WWE vibe on it lol). Letty's journey on today episode was about how he ended up become a sport entertainer (against his will off course xD) and how he met some wonderful friends in his captivity.
Introducing our diva (for one episode only ;p) |
Little Pip bite the cell with his cute little beak prompting Letty to try biting his cell bars only for him to lose some teeth xD. Then suddenly a hybrid of man an horse (Arobas) came and asked him to stay quiet. What Letty didn't know was that the cell was never locked from the beginning . It turned out that the monster in the cell was never a prisoner to begin with. The owner of the palace actually trained the monsters to put on show of monsters fighting in front of large audiences. The half man half horse man named Steve introduced Letty to other prisoners who actually make Letty surprised because they all were a decent monsters. In fact, the guards treat the monsters kindly and they gave them decent food which make them feel more at home than a prison. When Letty asked Steve that they were still a prisoner inside the dungeon, Steve just pointed out about how good the treatments for the fighting monsters lol. You named it ...Jacuzzi, gym, and they even got their own theater (I know this was exaggerated but this was that kind of anime anyway LMAO)
He was the first dragon who ever run away from skeleton-tachi |
I was actually smile with the realization that the guards actually playing cards with the monsters. It was the first episode in which the monster and the human did actually live together in harmony. I think by far this was the best place for Letty if he wanted a safe haven. Suddenly a bell rang and one of the guard announced about a battle between three skeletons fighting against the dragon. Yea you guessed right; it was Letty who acted as the dragon. In the arena outside, the announcer told the audience that the battle of the dead would start very soon, which was ironic because the match was already set up beforehand and there were no real "dead" to begin with. Letty wiped the skeletons off with his tail leaving them into a pile of skull. As he hurried to the back stage, the skeleton told him that they were okay and they used to be scattered xD. After ten days in "captivity" suddenly a guard made sudden announcement of the owner's sudden dead.
Meanwhile Dearia planned to win the TV champion |
The sudden change of ownership changed the situation as the guardsmen explained how they wanted to euthanized the monsters as soon as possible. The monsters decided that they no longer can stay in that place so they planned to escape the prison using aqueduct below the prison. I was so happy because it was actually the parody of my favorite movie hahaha it had a very similar tone to the Shawshank Redemption; a nineties movies about a prisoner who did prison break by crawling across a foul-stench pipe below the prison to his freedom. Not enough with the movie reference, they even added a game parody of a Metal Gear Solid in form of a cardboard boxes that Letty used to sneak closer to the invading mercenaries. The monster managed to stall the invader until at one points they got cornered. Thankfully, Dearia came to the rescue and put a sleeping spell to the mercenaries. Dearia later explained to Letty that he already knew about Letty's whereabouts yet he decided to leave Letty for a while so that the dragon could build his character and start solving his own problem. In the end of the episode, the ex-prisoner along with the ex-guardsmen decided to stay together and start a traveling circus performance together. Dearia told Letty if he would like to join them yet Letty declined because he thought that living as a circus acrobat was a bit too much for him.
But he was a dragon not Snake XDXDXD |
Episode review
Another warmhearted episode of the so called comedy anime. I like the movie and game reference and yea I smiled during the guards and monsters time playing with card. It shows that even in the arena that other people thought about monster bashing each other head, friendship can blossom and it even reached into a strong bond between the monster and the guard. Letty was having a blast in his new home and some parody did blend nicely with the current episode. Too bad for him that he got to leave this home soon yet I expect that he will visit a better place later. There were few interaction between Dearia and Letty in this episode and I thought that Dearia role was lessened for current episode. It was an ok episode with few laugh included on it. The only thing that I concerned about this anime was lately it focused more on the drama and heartwarming scene rather than the comedy which was ironic lol. The only way you will love this series is if you like an anime which doesn't take it too seriously; an anime that failed on its main strength yet flourished on the small tidbit of parody and a feeling of belonging. If you like an anime with relaxing tone, you will at least appreciate it but if you prefer the one with more complicated story and a sudden plot twist, I think you need watch other haha.
