Moeyo Ken - Episode 2: "Touch a Maiden's Hair"

Well, this got gross fast.

LAST TIME: Some dude goes home to Kyoto to hang out with a bunch of crazy ladies and a giant turtle monster attacks. Also, a whole bunch of names ending with vowels are said, in a way that makes me think we were supposed to be paying attention!


0:48
These seem to be giving way more than necessary attention to this waitress in the opening sequence. She’s…she’s just a waitress, right?

1:44 Holy shit a lady on a wagon. Everyone is flabbergasted.

2:37 When in doubt, hit shit with your wooden sword.

3:13 5000 yen? That’s like…$50, isn’t it? Things sure did cost less in the 19th century.

4:02
That sure is a piece of paper alright.

4:17 Wait…so this idiot is borrowing money to pay off this loan? He does understand how credit works, right?

5:07 Is it the cat? Is he going to put up the Paul Lynde cat as collateral? Please?

6:05 This guy really has absolutely no idea how money works. “Let’s issue stock to pay off our debt.”

6:49
Turnip puns are not fucking funny.

7:14 What the mother hell is going on? Turnip monsters?

8:02 So…they really managed to raise enough money to live by issuing turnip insurance? Really?

8:46
Ug! If I really wanted a bunch of economic policy discussion, I would have watched Spice and Wolf.

9:36
Back to Shanghai! It’s super worrisome for some reason.

10:04 Oh no she has become a zombie!

10:39 Oh those Japanese, always stealing every aspect of their culture and society from the Chinese.

11:15 HAHAHAHA! Rickshaw license plates!

11:49 What’s going on in here? Is it a problem a really gay-sounding cat can solve?

12:30 OH, okay. The main character is in love with the waitress lady. That explains it.

13:13 Oh geez, the Paul Lynde cat has fallen in love with the only other male character in the show, big surprise.

13:53 Haha, boob joke, take a drink.

14:24 Thanks, Dave Coulier.

14:51 Well, they seem to be handling all this homosexual overtones pretty well for turn-of-the-century folk.

15:43 “This cake is great.” HUGE UNCOMFORTABLE FIVE-SECOND SILENCE. “Thanks.”

16:16 Wait…if what you’re trying to achieve is already in effect, then why go forward with the plan?

17:06 Oh hey, gross tentacle monster. That didn’t take long.

17:24 WHAT A DICK! What is wrong with the main characters? Come on, octopus, why are your standards so high?

17:55 UG! Of course he is abducting underage girls. (Japan.)

18:30 Everyone eat my fucking cake!

19:06 Nice, um, calling card.

19:46 Oh he is King Konging this bitch.

20:03
Oh Christ, the octopus defeated that guy with panty shots.

20:45
I like how this octopus sounds like a huge creep, even with the fat guy voice.

21:22 BUH, how did she slice that entire building in half?

21:43 Yo, what’s up, I can fly, apparently!

22:40 But…but…the loan was for six thousand. Have their forgotten their own plot points already?

24:49
And now absolutely everyone is naked.

Verdict: That had very little to do with touching of hair! The gross octopus was kind of fun, although the central conflict was a bit stupid. How hard could it have been to just…ask him to stay? Instead of resorting to some crazy pheromone-based plot? I don’t know.
