Do I look like Oreki now? Now that I’m pretty much aware that this is not the fairies’ homecoming (as stated in the title), but this is a reunion between two space probes: Voyager and Pioneer. They even do care to tell us viewers a bit of their history, making the show informative and entertaining at the same time: The embodiment of the word “Info-tainment”. An example is the Pioneer Anomaly.  Simply put, Pion and Oyage are the personifications of the space probes. What confuses me here are the following: What happened to Oyage and Pion after Watashi got her hair cut? I mean, they were dissected and their remaining energy was turned into some sort of device to gather electricity in an inefficient way? What are they doing in the middle of the episode? Are they goofing off or something? If yes, is that part of their so-called “memory leak”? Nope, let me correct what I have said: the fairies had their homecoming thanks to Watashi sabotaging the electricity supply.

This is exactly what it looks like. Humanity Has Declined ended with quite the cliffhanger last week. And just as the show had sped up to a nice pace, too. And this episode did a fine job of following up and finishing, with references to some modern events on the way. This feels somewhat video [...]

Whoa, the best episode of Jinrui wa Suita Shimashita so far! At first it started a bit dodgy with that personality-less Yozakura Quartet-inspired catgirl, but as this episode revealed her true nature it totally changed. On top of being the first actually good Engrish pun I have ever seen, it’s just such a fascinating idea [...]

「妖精さんたちの、おさとがえり」 (Yōsei-san-tachi no, Osatogaeri) "The Fairies' Homecoming" Jinrui definitely rewards the viewer who wants to be challenged and likes to pay attention to what they’re watching. I wouldn’t want every series to be that way, but thank goodness we occasionally get one that meets the description as an antidote to the dozens that don’t.
