This episode fundamentally destroys the elf stereotype prevalent in fantasy stories.

It's a pity the Phoenix didn't have a more active role, but this episode was still quite amusing. Giriko is undeniably attractive, though I have a sense she might be even more formidable than Luna. Could their son end up as Viola's main love interest? It might be a bit predictable, but let's reserve judgment until we see what he's like.

I'm still waiting for the Phoenix's spin-off anime

Sorry Fennel, you'll NEVER have any chance trying to woo Alyssa...

As expected, Glind is there to help with furniture, as well as being Viola's watchman in case Fennel strikes, but too bad that Fennel's Elfin village is only filled with old people that it's a MILF culture lols. The "brotherhood" between Fennel and Glind is too hilarious that the golem trying to get into Elfin culture, it's too much, but it's interesting from the perspectives of another. Alyssa likes Elfin culture, but for Fennel to use this as reasoning, he's out of his mind.

Going potato digging with Lira's husband of Pondo, the potatoes are all sorts of weird from various types like slimes to mermaid, that even puns are low-key hilarious as well. But Alyssa will not let this fly, and as much as Viola is sympathetic with Pondo, Lira does not appreciate having to clean up after her husband, and after Giriko turned them back into normal sweet potatoes, Alyssa, Viola and Phoenix are given a bunch of them.

Mandragoras are a pain in the butt, and Pondo's potatoes go wild once again, no thanks to Giriko's fertilizer mix, which grows some weird ass sweet potatoes again, the size of big creatures.

Oh man, sweet potatoes go ham.

I like this Fennel elf and his attempt to get Alyssa's attention. While Viola tries to interrupt it.
The potato part was disturbing and creepy but fun to watch.
Today, I may be a weak little bug that gets tossed in the wind,
washed away by the currents, and drowns, but tomorrow,
I may become the butterfly that spreads its colossal wings and flies the open skies!

It was funny to see sweet potatoes going Godzilla vs. Biollante. Viola is a child indeed.

Potato farming in fantasy shows always turns into a ridiculously dangerous situation.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Pretty standard first half of the episode, with Viola & Phoenix doing their antics on Fennel, but that was a rather interesting second half with those sweet potato/mandrake hybrid plants. The whole segment was crazy, but one thing caught my attention...

Well it seems you need to keep some stuff away from plants else things get very disturbing.
The conversation about Elves was hilarious tho i do hope we get to see the village some time.
And Viola showing how naive she is again.

Mostly amusing and funny episode, starting with the portrayal of the Elfin village consisting mostly of elderly elves and young ones that had kids early on, oh and that one reason that they're good at archery is because of boredom lol. The second half got weird with sweet potatoes acting like mandragoras because of the fertilizer that Giriko used.

Yeah Viola is just a straight up bully. She even bully Fennels friend into helping bully him. It's clear she enjoys bullying others as much as she wants her mom to herself. It's starting to lose its fun factor.

She's such a miserable character and never gets caught or punished for such atrocious behavior. The show gets harder to watch every episode. Without some characters growth I don't think I can finish it.

The sacred tree, the mystical landmark of the elven forest from fantasy stories, yep, it's been reduced to somekind of the only 7/11 in the entire rural village..... Dragon Quest? Psych, it's Sakura Quest instead. Godammit show, how did you even thought of that?

Not only that but beh-imo-th, imo-callibur, imo-boros, and all of the imo-based-sh*t in this EP.... Godammit show, you could've used those creativity to solve world hunger, and yet we've got imo-kaiju battle instead.

Great EP as always....

Honestly, every now and then this anime hits really good with its comedy. Potato part was stupidly funny, and I do appreciate elf village jokes too.

@Azuchi His "Love" isn't even Pure Love as Alyssa is also a mother figure to me just like Alyssa is a mother figure to Viola.

@Bro225650 If u were on Viola's shoes would u let a creep that Alyssa took care of 100 yrs ago go near ur mother? If that was me i wouldn't let him go near Alyssa as well... Alyssa's also a mother-figure to him, he's basically a child to her.

@Bro225650 Also don't expect much development on a gag shpw like this. She might get some but don't expect her to completely change her treatment with Fennel.
