Very avant-garde. I like it. It must be possible to subtly translate an entire episode like that to make it be about something else entirely.

Translations of foreign media that make the story about something else entirely, are a well-established genre. For example, one of Woody Allen’s earliest films.[0] Granted, this wasn’t done “subtly” at all.
