This is probably the peak of the weird fetishes the anime will adapt. Probably. I'd lose it if they adopted the aquarium chapter from volume 3 and made it more explicit like what they've been doing to most of the adapted chapters. The egg laying chapters were adapted to be a bit more explicit, but not by that much. Next episode is a lot more tame in the fetish department, thankfully.

Pretty sure she was supposed to be an owl girl with the way she was moving her head.

That is kind of my assumption too, but it was not her only difference from birdmaids of the likes of Meidri, she had a specific difference in her wings being her arms, while Meidri and others have their wings from their back. Might not notice at first, but going back I did, and the subtitles I watched mentioned birdmaids and harpies like they are different things, which made me wonder if that was what the receptionist was meant to be. Not going off of what I know of recent D&D, harpies were traditionally the arms as wings thing, Papi from Monster Musume also has this body build with wings as well as similarly thin compared to the other birdmaids. I seem to remember from when I was really into mythology that a specific trait of the harpy was their ability to swoop and grab, which she did seem to do to the lamia that got too excited. I think the original tale were of a plague on a king that was blinded and whenever he would try to eat harpies would swoop down and steal his food.
Also about lamia, I said this back with Monster Musume, the egg obsession is actually super on brand with them in mythology over just their connection with being snakes. Mythology of the lamia specifically connect with it eating children.

Is egg-laying considered that far out of a fetish? Perhaps I read way too many doujinshi... (^.^')

True, I'm a bit surprised by the reactions I've seen here and elsewhere to be honest. It might not be my own kink, but it certainly doesn't feel that strange as far as fetishes go...

Fairly sure the entire popularity poll in Gintama was based on real-life results.
Also, boo for half a star off for filling an awkward 5 minute chunk with something the fans clearly want, Theron, instead of rushing and potentially butchering actual content. Boo I say! :p
Finally, it was awesome to see Katrina Leonoudakis get credited for her above and beyond localisation. I'd rather watch the censored version with her subs than the uncensored without. Seeing her decisions and intuitions in translation is part of the fun. Im glad they've given her so much translation freedom on a show that frankly demands it. A lesser translator would have given in to the temptation to use Egg-spurts at least once. IR has enough groans for that.

They're lucky it was just eggs that were being laid then. There's a lot worse it could have been given whats out there.

Something from Interspecies Reviewers that was tamer than something from Monster Musume, I never would have expected that. Still, looking at fetishes from an interspecies perspective though... we're getting into Far Side territory. See, the egg laying show is explicitly designed to stimulate egg eating species but it's not trying to invoke lust, just physical hunger. "Imagine Nature but with animals as people". Interesting how having predators happily enjoy unfertlized eggs being laid would help protect fertilized eggs.
Then there's the actually irony of Meidri doing exactly what the guys imagined egg laying could be behind closed doors. For her, it was very much a matter of... exactly what they imagined.
Half because she looks more human to please the audience, half because she is more human which would mean certain evolutionary traits regarding sex that came up the primate line are part of her DNA. So laying an egg of that width should be... exactly what they imagined.
Imagination is a terrible thing to waste but sometimes a terrible thing to use.
My favorite part of the episode was the end polling and how much of it was being influenced by Crim's reviews.

I kinda agree with Theron. I’m not sure if there are side stories in the manga, but I think something like a quick comedic segment would have worked better for me than the extended mitsue’s room.

Yeah, this is something that I need to start mentioning in the reviews, as I have also been impressed with how the subtitles have been handled for the AnimeLab-only episodes.

Also a good point, and an angle that I hadn't considered. Fully agree with this and the rest of your elaboration on the point.

It's not so much the egg laying as the crocodile girls and penguin girls doing the egg laying IMO. The main 3 were excited for the prospect of egg laying until they saw the girls doing it, which sums up my opinion on the matter. Egg laying is about urophilia tier as far as fetishes go, weird to a normal person, but not too revolting or uncommon.

Well yes, but that's a birthing fetish, not egg laying, different tags

Quote: | The one pertinent question that the series doesn't answer is what egg-layers like Meidri who don't sell off their eggs in shows do with them |
The manga gives us a clue as to what Meidri does with her eggs. An avian obstetrician recommends birdmaids sit on their unfertilized eggs in order to simulate incubation, which fools the body into thinking it has laid fertilized eggs. That way, a birdmaid can avoid monthly bouts of ovulation for a certain period of time. However I can imagine the eggs will have to be thrown out eventually because they'll get spoiled.

Well there's that, but I think he was talking about solid waste material.

Reaction in this episode were right on pointe. I went through this exact same thing when a buddy brought me along to the club to see "Bridgette the midget". He was way to in to it. I was not at all.
