“The Greedy Wagon’s Journey” is far from a terrible episode of television, but I think it is easily the weakest one that Tsukimichi has delivered so far. It’s the kind that makes it difficult for me to even begin this review with some sort of interesting preamble, or a humorous breakdown of a funny scene, because there’s just so little to the whole affair that feels like it is especially worth discussing. So, apologies ahead of time if this write-up turns out a little dry; Tsukimichi just isn’t giving me much to work with, here!
There really isn’t any plot to speak of in “The Greedy Wagon’s Journey”, even though the gang is ostensibly doing some work for the Rembrandt Trading Company. A “plot” indicates some kind of conflict that needs to be overcome, or, at the very least, the sense that the story has a clear direction that it is headed in, and the Rembrandt job is so…
