I liked the shot they took at Final Fantasy. "There's nothing final about it!"

I saw the orange outfit and yellow hair and thought it was Naruto. Glad to know it was actually Goku. Makes sense since he was learning from Dragon Ball.

I also thought it was Naruto at first, but then I realized it was SS Goku.

It seemed to imply that most of the stuff he has is pretty old, he has a Playstation 1 and only knew about the earlier Final Fantasy, he might not even know what Naruto is.

Now that you mention it...

PS1 came out in 1994 in Japan. Final Fantasy was already on six by then. Not to mention that FF1 wasn't on PS1 (if that's what he was using to play it) until 2002.

Yeah, I actually love this. It's refreshing to see an old-school otaku/gamer. Because other otaku characters focus on new stuff.

Heck, he even had stuff on VHS - "Kenritsu Uchuu-gun," ("Prefectural Space Force") (in the same font as Honneamise), indeed!

spoiler[So Staz got his wish to visit the human world.
Seems like he's more into enjoying himself than helping Fuyumi.
Guess Staz really does care about what happens to her..
I knew it was too easy. The first obstacle has appeared.
Things are getting interesting.]

The comedy is great...but I thought the serious scene was the most well-done part of this episode.
「どんくさい奴。。。」
Ha, I learned a new Japanese insult. Anime hyper

Episode 2

And the quote of the week goes to:
"spoiler[That punch befits a guy who desperately guards a filthy pair of underpants at a human world shop where only high-level demons can come.]"

Also, is it even possible to spoiler[shoot a ghost]?

It depends on how much "power of existence" Fuyumi has had. For starters, if she gets too much, all her blood rushes to her head.

Consider that one...

Or how about sucking on a vampire's finger?

Sounds somewhat curious, yes?

Or, this is just pointing out the obvious, how was Hydra able to grab Fuyumi in the first place?

Yeah, yeah, demon, not ghost. Except when it's funny or plot relevant. Sadly, being dead has giving more meaning to her life {seeing both their bedrooms was a nice contrast in personalities, his and lacks of hers} so I can already see a "demon for unlife" ending.

Upon seeing more of Hydra, I've decided the mangaka has a certain taste in female body types. It's not that I mind, really, I'm just trying to figure out how that waist belongs to those breasts and hips. Not complaining, though. And those shorts and why does her halter top have a zipper? Still not complaining.

If she just had a better hair design though. The pig tails are fun but the rest of it seems to stick out more than them. Good eyes, though, very greedy.

Wow, two episodes in and we've already got the love triangle spelled out; Staz realized Fuyumi is someone special to him and Hydra's looking for the strongest guy around - to marry apparently. Or to help get her magic back, whichever comes first {and then second, presumably} and Staz passed the first test.

By decking an effeminate ogre shopkeeper. Not much of a test, actually...

Upon seeing those pantsu, I thought for SURE, given his old-school tastes, Staz was going to mention something about Lum (Urusei Yatsura)

Caught the Nadia figure though. Anime hyper

I figured that was only supposed to be her first of many tests for him, but she dropped future tests because he's Staz.

I've got no problem with the girls' shapes because everything else is fairly exaggerated too so it's not distracting me in any bad way. I've always loved Hydra's type of outfit though, as often seen on adventurers and grease monkeys. For the curious, apparently somebody already did official screenshot comparisons for chest size between the two and Hydra won.

I wonder if they're going to do a character-an-episode thing.
