In reference to Tsuchigumo, the weapon description mentioned "ayakashi," and the character from Nura was described as "an ayakashi one must never encounter." The word "ayakashi" I think refers to his mask.

Ayakashi tends to be a catchall term for ghosts and monsters and demons and anything else that goes bump in the night and may or may not want to eat you in your first encounter.

B-but don't get the wrong idea! I just happen to be short on help, so I'm hiring you purely out of convenience. D-don't think I'll return the ship for your sake, Uncle!

Oh, here we go. She's a tsun... tsunde... she totally wants to pick Keroro up and hug him like a stuffed animal.

That might be the least terrible translation of that word I've ever seen.

Well, that's... something.

I want to assume this was some kind of accident, because anime frogs from space are bound by logic to hate all human earthlings equally. (Not to mention it kind of doesn't make sense to name the whole planet after the Chinese)

I would assume the slur uses specific kanji whereas the name the aliens use, like anything anyone non-japanese says, is in katakana. Because you can't tell the difference nearly as easily when spoken, they changed it to avoid confusion from the homophone.

All HP-draining dungeon hazards do more damage to Keroro, regardless of what kind of hazard they are.

Sounds like it's taking the 'standard'(?) gamer habit of having the party's in-story leader as the in-game leader, and kicking you in the pills for it. If you don't shuffle leaders around, you're also unlikely to ever even know you're being punished. A+, I approve.

Interesting. I've heard basically nothing but good things about the show, but 300+ episodes is an awful lot to stomach in the process of catching up, and in my experience, gag shows tend to start running/inside jokes early and lean on them heavily forever after. Is Sgt Frog usually the same in this regard, where I am not going to understand over half of what's going on if I just jump in on new content?

Huh, I just thought this LP got dropped in favor of this one.

Fair enough. (Also, we're close-ish to a new page, and could really use one...)
