meganbmooreThese episodes were...odd. Basically, at the end of the season's first End of the World arc, everyone ends up separated.
First up, Lina finds herself stuck in a bizarre reenactment of Alice in Wonderland, where all the characters are food. She find Zelgadis dressed up like a clown and sleeping, then blows everything up when she realizes they were in an attraction in and amusement park. At least they found Filia outside. later, the three ended up on a ghost ship where the antique-pottery loving captain was being menaced by a vengeful, pottery destroying ghost. Lina breaks a lot of ceramics, Filia decides she wants to open a vase shop, and Zelgadis wisely refuses to participate in the insanity and goes off to practice his emo while playing guitar. Zel doesn't give me nearly enough excuses to call him a high-strung emotastic angstmuffin this season.
Meanwhile, Amelia and Gourry also washed up on another island. While Gourry wanders around the forest starving to death, Amelia is rescued by a fishgirl and her fishman father. Later, she learns that fishgirl is in love with a human boy, but fishman disapproves. Being Amelia, she flamboyantly declares that she will help them to be together, and sets off on a quest to let them be of the same species. Along the way she finds Gourry, feeds him, and forces him to dress up like a mermaid. I cringe and hope that very brief stint is the only forced crossdressing he'll have to endure this season. Later, the two end up joining some geriatric would-be warriors of justice, before finally finding the others.
Yes, I spent most of the time with my brain deliberately turned off so I could just sit back and enjoy the crack. Sadly, there was no Xellos in these episodes.
In other news, Gourry was also able to justifiably call people stupid and crazy a lot. I don't know if he's getting smarter, or if others are getting crazier and/or dumber. Could be both. He is also notably sword-less during these periods. Perhaps the sword normally saps brainpower?
