I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

I'm kinda not the biggest fan of the last few long sketches barring Hellshake Yano being just basic, kinda dull genre pastiches coasting on the fact that Popuko and Pipimi are here, they don't belong here, that's funny! It doesn't feel like it's playing to the strength of the source material.

This isn't to say that I'm not still enjoying the show, and I'm aware of this episode's being a VA joke, but it feels like it's lost something. Maybe it's just that it's 10 episodes in and the element of surprise is gone.

Isn't it a direct reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OPs?

Directly so, Also Kamikaze Douga are the creators of the Jojo OPs so there's another tie in there.

I liked how the victim left a dying message, fingering the culprit, but everyone completely ignored it.

The mafia skit was fantastic.

And I like the intro animation of Lord Takeshobo.

To be fair, there was a possibility the murderer could have just written somebody else's name using the victim's finger, but i chuckled.

Okami is a landlady or a woman running an establishment.

Ahh, all I knew of Okami was it's the name of a vidya game with a good dog. I just compared Okami to the list of names right before Pipimi catches the culprit. Thanks.

The title of the mystery skit is also “Ginza Hostess Detective ep. 10: Mystery at the Hot Spring - The Crime and Punishment of the Young Inn Madam”, just in case you couldn’t figure out who did it before the detectives did.

Probably my least favourite episode so far, but the SFX intro on the second half definitely makes it still worth it.

I loved that the murderer confessed not because of the guilt of taking a human life, but because she ruined someone else's vacation. That saved the bit for me.

It's kinda funny how some skits turn out great in the dub(male version of the Thunder skit for example), and some just don't work(the Marilyn Monroe skit)

Marylin Monroe was just 2 VAs adlibbing wasn't it? Translating ad libbing directly feels like it misses the point

The simuldub was a bad decision.
Theres just no time to put in a good localization effort. There are some skits that absolutely wont translate over well due to being very japanese pop culture, but a lot of things could be adapted or changed.

Like "Machu pichu of japan" could have just been "Machu Pichu".

Wow, this week's sketch was the real fuckin' nadir of what I was talking about. It was basically played completely straight and Popuko and Pipimi had like two spit second appearances.

E: What. Okay, I see now.
