the aristocrat's otherworldly adventure manga livre
11.
In light of its tone, it's difficult to fault the pacing. Yes, we spent an entire episode at a shopping mall. On the other hand, that episode was delightful. I will absolutely take a trip to the mall with fun characters and fan service over the finest hand-crafted generic
fantasy fight scenes, which in any case the show could not afford. Plenty of
heroes have faced off against greater perils, but did any of them go out for crepes?
Actually, yes: there are crepes in 'Trapped in a Dating Sim' (episode five) and 'Chivalry of a Failed Knight' (episode three). So, granted, the stakes could have been higher — the adventure and the comedy more balanced — but it's okay that they weren't, because those series already exist, and I don't expect a balance of flavours when I
order an all-icing cake. 'Isekai Cheat Skill' went overboard, but at least it fell off on the warm and charming side. I have tried to rewatch episodes without smiling, and I fail every time.
(For the record, I fail as soon as Kaede, the redhead, enters the frame in the opening credits. Watch episode five; gaze into those enormous vermilion eyes: you can really tell when both of Kaede's brain cells are operating at maximum capacity.
The trailer for the Egghead Island arc showed off a futuristic location complete with giant robots and sci-fi outfits. It also heavily featured Vegapunk's name, implying that fans may finally get to meet the World Government's top scientist. It also hinted at information relating to the Void century, meaning Egghead Island may be very important from a lore perspective as well. Altogether, this hints that Egghead Island may be as important to the series as Wano, but will have a refreshingly different tone compared to the previous arc. This change of
pace is good as while Wano was an
excellent arc, it was also very long. Given One Piece is a series about exploration, it will be nice to see the Straw Hats in a brand new location that is different from what came before it.
