Being an "outside the golden seasons" episode this was actually a pretty good presentation especially targeted at Comic Book Guy. But I wasn't really sure at the beginning, I thought it was going to be boring like the last episode (Steal This Episode) and I was also worried that the ending would get butchered and ignored (Like they did with "Love Is A Splintered Thing" that made me extremely disappointed). But it never happened!
This was certainly not a typical Simpsons episode, it was presented with more respect especially to a character who might not have so much love but does express his feeling to us. Although I do like the sarcasm of Comic Book Guy, but I have to admit that sometimes he has been a jerk to Bart and Milhouse. But this episode wasn't about them, it was more about CBG's wanting for love like the others.
The appearance of Stan Lee was good to see, but I thought it was a bit weird for him to appear as an imaginary ghost for CBG at the beginning but he did give a good appearance.
The humor was actually trying this time although some worked and others not so much but at least I didn't fall to sleep. But I think my favorite part was when Homer and Mr. Nakamura became drunk but seeing everything turning into Hayao Miyazaki's world.
Is it recommended? Well I know that many true Simpsons fans would not be interested, but even though I have followed the Simpsons in a long time I think this is so far the only good episode to present. Nothing made me cringe on this episode, it might not be gold but at least not mediocre either.
