Okay, people, gather 'round! Let's talk about Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, episode 3, *finally* in English dub! I know, I know, we've all been waiting with bated breath, practically glued to our screens.
And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Seriously, the voice acting is on point. It's like the characters jumped straight out of the manga and into our ears.
A Sweet and Spooky Affair
This episode focuses on the Three Clock Keepers and the repercussions they have on the school. Think of it like a school play gone horribly (and hilariously) wrong, but with more supernatural elements, of course.
"Time is a fickle thing,"as they say. And boy, is it ever! The Three Clock Keepers are messing with the flow of time, aging people up and down. Imagine going to school one day and your best friend suddenly looks like your grandma! Talk about awkward lunch conversations.
Poor Nene Yashiro gets caught in the crossfire, experiencing both ends of the spectrum. One minute she's a cute little kid, the next she's suddenly an old lady! The horror! The wrinkles!
Hanako to the Rescue (Maybe?)
Of course, Hanako-kun, our resident mischievous ghost with a heart of gold (sort of), is on the scene to help. Or at least, he tries to help. Let's be honest, sometimes his solutions are a little... unorthodox.
He’s like that friend who means well but always makes things slightly worse before they get better. You love them anyway, though. Because they always are there to help even if they might turn you into an old lady.
We see Hanako facing the clock keepers and showing off his skills. But still, the danger is very palpable in this episode.
Hilarious Moments and Heartwarming Bonds
One of the best things about this episode (and the whole series, really) is the humor. Even with the spooky supernatural stuff going on, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
Whether it's Hanako's sarcastic remarks, Nene's over-the-top reactions, or the sheer absurdity of the situations they find themselves in, there's never a dull moment. I'm talking full-on belly laughs, people! The kind that makes your neighbors wonder if you're okay.
The episode also explores the growing bond between Nene and Hanako-kun. Despite their differences (she's alive, he's, well, not), they're starting to trust and rely on each other. It's all very sweet and heartwarming, in a slightly twisted, supernatural kind of way.
This episode leaves you wanting more, not just for the main story, but also for the budding friendship. In the face of danger, they learn to depend on each other.
The English Dub: A Real Treat
The English dub actors really knock it out of the park. Each character voice is like getting to know the series all over again! From the cute and bubbly Nene to the mysterious Hanako-kun.
It’s so smooth and fits the series so well that you quickly stop caring about the original Japanese dubs. Okay, maybe not *completely*, but pretty darn close!
So, if you haven't already, go watch Toilet-bound Hanako-kun episode 3 in English dub! You won't regret it. It's a spooky, sweet, and hilarious ride that will leave you craving more. Trust me, you'll be hooked faster than you can say "Hanako-san, Hanako-san, are you there?"
