English Dub Review: The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter “A Little Girl’s Wish”

Overview


In an effort to help Lola win her “Receptionist Ranking“, Noir arrives at the 7th floor of the dungeon and encounters a mysterious tiny Elf-girl named Dory who happens to look a lot like Emma when she was younger. Apparently, Dory is having her lifeforce sucked away by something creepy and asks Noir to defeat it in exchange for a treasure…


Our Take

There’s a girl for every taste in Noir’s harem. But here this comes across as borderline creepy. I swear, this new girl has more screen time with Noir’s lips than most of the others in just this episode. Given her personality, I’m not surprised by the lack of common sense.

Arguably it’s considered a commonplace “fantasy” within Japanese culture due to their twisted age of consent law and simply leaves you with a “What the fuck” reaction to the proceedings. I can’t be the only one who found certain scenes with the tree girl really uncomfortable. I mean we all watch this show because we like a bit of the sexual humor, but the whole point of her character was that she has the body of a little girl.

Overall while this was an ok episode that moved the plot forward, I could’ve done without the creepy scenes involving Dory because she disturbingly resembles a prepubescent little girl. The previous episodes were funny in terms of their fanservice and suggestive sex jokes, but this is one of the worst ones I’ve seen for obvious reasons, and also there’s a post-credits scene to watch out for…
