The Snow Queen - 05

Just in time for the Christmas holidays the fansubbers think! But I think they intentionally delayed some anime fansubs just to say 'Merry Xmas'. Time for my Gerda fix which took as long to get subbed as I did to update this blog!



More drama is in store for our little Gerda, as she has left her Peasant Village (tm) to look for her best friend Kay. But little does she know that Kay is enjoying his holed up holiday with the Ice Queen! I mean who wouldn't? Ice Queen gets my pick anyday!
Determined to overcome her worries, Gerda sets out on her journey and after a few tumbles and scrapes she meets a shifty merchant who would probably get Pedobear's seal of approval! He overcharges her for some bandages and then we all think he'll probably return again. Which is the case as Gerda gets her money stolen and has to resort to begging for a stay in the hotel. The hotel is named the Salt Brice which makes no sense whatsoever but our little heroine is desperate to offer her 'services'.
The merchant takes the word shifty to a new level as he attempts to steal everyone's possesions in the hotel safe - meanwhile Gerda works off her hard earned stay to become the locale slave for a night. As predicted she catches the merchant in the act of stealing and puts on a sobstory, moved to tears he puts it back. Of course he learns the moral of the story, remember everyone: DO NOT STEAL. Yes and that means mp3s and anime fansubs too! *cough* ;)



Not as dramatic and emotional as the last episode, but The Snow Queen has a certain charm to it's story. Yet again Gerda will have to start her journey from where she left off but except she has a MAP.

Overall: 7/10

Now to wait another two months for the next episode and you'd think by that time Gerda would have finished her journey! ;)
