What an incredible experience. No media has depicted America in a more convincing and illuminating fashion than Di Gi Charat Natsuyasumi Special. I was moved. Just knowing that Dejiko has graced my country with her presence made my year. My life even. I'm literally the character Rod Young. When I think of Dejiko, my heart flutters. I have also read the Di Gi Charat encyclopedia. I know everything. Dejiko plays a Hofner violin bass in episode three, the same instrument that the Beatle, Paul McCartney, plays. Beatles references are always a plus. Many years ago, Paul McCartney's original Hofner bass was mysteriously lost. I can'thelp but assume that Dejiko has had it all this time.

Natsuyasumi employs live-action sequences more than any of the other iterations of Di Gi Charat. As a result, it felt even more surreal than the rest. The natto beans in episode three looked delectable.

MURDER MYSTERY. Yes, there's a murder mystery. I won't spoil the culprit, but you will be surprised. Fantastic.

Not a lot of Mishter Manager-san in this special. It's a bit disappointing, but acceptable.

There's a side plot for Usada that will make you cry. No spoilers, of course.

Puchiko steals the show again in this one. Fantastic peformance from Miyuki Sawashiro, as always.

I would give Di Gi Charat Natsuyasumi Special a 10/10, but I have to take 3 points off because Rowdy Guy didn't get rowdy.
