“Your Pessoi”
What They Say:
Demetrios was a young man in Ancient Greece who was a potter’s apprentice, but also a rather timid otaku. Despite pursuing the arts, he was blessed with natural athletic talent. One day, he gets dragged into a village conflict. Demetrios contemplates how helpless he is, but then is struck by lightning! When he comes to, he is no longer in Greece, but a strange land where he can’t understand the language and people look rather different. Yes, he somehow ended up in 1964 Tokyo! Of course, Demetrios has no idea what Japan even is. What will become of him?!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
With the work progressing on the Tolympics, which Demetrius really wants to succeed as it’s definitely in his best interest, they get help from a surprising source. A visitor from the neighboring village comes by to talk about what the Olympics are like and just how brutal it is just in getting to the location. This inspires the mayor to come up with ways of dealing with the Eleian’s which naturally has Demetrius thrust into the future as well. This time is a bit further ahead as the old man is even older and he introduces him to what a tour bus is and other kinds of places around the area. It’s actually cute watching them together and how they interact with each other, especially when it comes to the sleeping pods that’s almost like Demetrius’ jar.
In Summary:
These ideas come back into use in the past in a pretty good way as I even like the way they end up stacking the jars along the seashore and coming up with ways to transport people around – all things that can make money as well. It’s again got the usual issue where it’s just too easy to go from problem to solution but it delivers educational and comical material so well that it’s just easy to grin and laugh throughout it.
