One of my favorites were the Ryuu vs Benten episode and the Ice Coolers episode

They were very good ones indeed

To further elaborate, the episode in which he tries to marry Shinobu focuses on Shinobu's daily activities. About 16 minutes into the episode, the director finally says, "Fuck it! Let's get to the episode!", and he digs right in!

Now I know what Forgotten_Lum meant when he said that they made too many fox episodes. They probably should have just limited it to the first fox episode and the episode in which he fights Lum.

Personally, I do not see what is so special about the episode in which he tries to take Shinobu to show and tell. In fact, the only memorable scene from that episode was the Fist of the North Star's cameo appearance, and even he would later appear in "Special Delivery Kiss! Darling's First Jealousy!" (which, by the way, was far superior to the afore-mentioned fox episode).

The problem with the fox episodes is that they try too hard to be cute and artsy-fartsy. They also spend too much time padding the episodes.

A group of people on another website compared these episodes to the first three UY films and to the works of Hayao Miyazaki. I'd think twice before comparing Beautiful Dreamer, which was philosophical, interesting, and able to hold your attention span, to the fox episodes, which, by contrast, tried to be Miyazaki, but quickly faded out like a small dying rat.

In all honesty, I tried to give the fox episodes a chance, and frankly I found nothing worth keeping.

In UY, Kitsune and Dappya are the only characters that could disappear... but that is only my point of view

How does an episode qualify as a non-AE episode?
