Review DP156: Fukamaru and Meteor Shower!

[Dogasu]

- It looks like this episode is going to have some GREAT visuals. There are tons of hilarious images in the preview alone.

- We see a Tyltalis and an old woman.

- Fukamaru somehow lands on Satoshi's head, causing him to make a really really funny face.

- It looks like it's raining meteors? Everyone freaks out accordingly.

- We see a few scenes of Fukamaru's fin poking out of the ground the way a shark's fin would poke out of the water. Our heroes are following the moving fin.

Those were hilarious! Especially Ash's and Dawn's. Was that Gible using Dig in the third pic?

I like imagining Ash's expressions are due to Gible's fangs sinking directly past the cranium and into his brain issue.

But that's just me. ♥ The fanart from that will be so worth it.

Altaria's Draco Meteor was just stunning and beautiful, when I saw that I was like, are we watching a Pokemon movie?

Gible's apparent failed Draco Meteor was funny, especially when one of the meteors hits Piplup. And Gible loves to bite Ash's head. First as some sort of defense mechanism and if the Comic is accurate, because it likes Ash.

Sorry Ash you just can't win this one.

Edit: And lol at Brock in the second shot.

Brock: Oh no, when Pokemon attack part 3.Run for your lives.

What was with Dawn's expression in the last pic it was creepy.

Ugh. I need to quit watching YouTube poops, as I can only imagine Hikari yelling 'YOU BROUGHT ME A RRRRRROCK?!' in Dr. Robotnik's voice.


I'm glad it's going to be a funny episode and that Gible isn't going to be the next coming of 'dark and edgy' or whatever. I know the cranial devouring probably isn't going to be as good in other episodes, but I'm going to throw caution to the wind and welcome Victreebel mrk.3 if it results in stuff like that.

This is, of course, assuming that the Fukamaru in this episode and the one in the next episode are the same one.

Granted, it's very likely. But it's still not anything that's confirmed yet.

Excellent episode, by the previews.

Though I prefer watching the dub, I'm gonna hope the group has their fun in this episode. Somehow, Ash always manages to find teaching a new move to a Pokémon fun.

OMFG is this episode Tamagawa and so soon? If so I'm impressed that he's getting into dp now. I hope we see some more episodes if this indeed him.

The preview just blew me away!
Tamagawa IS an awesome AD and in comedic episodes like this it really shows.

I´m already looking forward to Fukamaru. It just seems like an entertaining, funny yet cool Pokémon. Just like...no, don´t go there.

- We see a Tyltalis and an old woman.

That "old woman" is Tatsu-baasan (Grandma Wilma in English), the character from the games (she's the Draco Meteor move tutor who appears on Route 210).

God, I hate the translation "Dragon Meteor Shower". It's a really poor way to mimic the untranslateable pun. The pun is based on the fact that the Japanese name for a Meteor is "Ryuusei", which literally means "dragon star". But the word itself means "meteor", there's no sense in translating it literally. It's a kind of idiom.

The only correct translation is "Meteoric Swarm". That's what the name really means. Any attempt to keep the pun in English will sound lame and ridiculous. "Dragon Meteor Shower" sounds really ridiculous to me.

I'm sorry if I sounded like a Wapanese Weaboo (though I doubt that I did, weaboos don't know such things). I'm definitely not ONE (I prefer Korean culture and language, to be honest). But as a linguist (not a pro yet but willing to be one) such translations make me facepalm.

Ah so it is Tamagawa. FUCK YES! I dunno why but the way Gible acts and drives everyone crazy it looks like the little bugger will really get onto to me. To the point that a crazy ass meteor shower every episode will be the best thing since Snorunt's ice beam.

Can not wait to see this episode!
I want Satoshi to catch Fukamaru so bad!

Re: DP 156 "Fukamaru and Dragon Meteor Shower!" Preview Thread

The hilariousness of Satoshi`s expression is on par with TR`s expressions.

Re: DP 156 "Fukamaru and Dragon Meteor Shower!" Preview Thread

Looks like it'll be one of the more funny and crazy episodes - and that's obviously a good thing XD
I already love this Gible!

Such a great image for an avatar. Too bad it's not the best quality.

Judging from the screenshots, this looks like it's going to be one of the most hilarious DP episodes.

Yes, Gible is FUN! Thank God, I did not want some uber serious ultra boring plot device. This looks to be a pretty fun episode, an excellent way to introduce Gible.
