----------------------------------------
A male wild Oujuu named Eku was hurt and captured...

And we get to verify that Erin's ability to communicate with Oujuu extends beyond Lilan....

Lilan's feathers are changing colors...into pink!! And we get to a very beautiful and figurative mating between the two Oujuu...

Next episode: Graduation Exams!! And we learn Lilan is pregnant of course...Congratulations Lilan and Eku....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Wow, my eyes and brain hurt from reading an utterly shitty sub such as the Crunchyroll's one. In terms of timing, translation and quality control, this episode was one of the worth things I've ever seen. I don't really understand the point of CR broadcasting shows legally but displaying translation work at below-amateur level (I mean, 95% of English fansub teams are better than that, let alone Static Subs which has done, and still does a fantastic job on this series).

Coming back to the episode in itself, it was slow but good and the mating dance was indeed great :)

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I agree, the sub was horrible. At one point I thought they had forgotten what language they were translating into...

Decent ep otherwise! I wonder what the evil guy is gonna be up to...

Glad I waited for SS. Beautiful episode. Though the cg bit with the universe and the baby was a little overboard, I really thought the pace and direction was great. I am quite taken aback that no one thought it was a mating thing with Lilan smelling the feather, carrying it around, and changing color.

Haha yeah, the CG universe thing was a bit overboard. It wasn't really a surprise anyway with Lilan changing colour and all that, don't know why they didn't think of that. Probably because mating hasn't been documented nor witnessed before.

wow, animated fantasy animal secks - not what I expected from a children's program at all. Even if it beautiful, you still watched animated animal porn, it's just artsy porn.

And lol subs "Lilan and Eku are working to create a new life". You don't say you daft woman? they're not rutting without protection for the hell of it.

I agree with that, heh. The baby at the end of the little animation kind of caught me off guard... especially since it obviously wasn't a baby Beast-Lord/Oujuu.

I thought the mating dance was beautiful - as others have said, yes - but... a part of me couldn't help thinking, 'Geez, they sure don't waste any time, huh?!'. Sort of along the lines of Alas86's thoughts, haha. Though, I guess if we think about it, most wild (and domestic? I really am not sure) animals are like that, I think, and have some sort of mating dance or ritual before getting together.

LOL. Wow. Dude. They're not humans. Chill out.

The effects of the mating were a little overboard. But the flying was nice. Why did Lilan change colors?

I think perhaps they didn't think of Lilan going into heat because they've never seen Ohjus breed. Remember what Soh-yon said about the alimentary water?
As to the speed of things... pheromones, probably. Just being around a feather was enough to make Lilan (start to) go into heat, so being around the male, with the mating cries, etc... Does seem a bit fast, though, all the same.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Holy shit . . . Mating for Beast Lords is trippy as heck! They literally tear through space and time to make a new child, I wonder if it is hard? Anyways, Kind of figured this would happen when it was mentioned that Eku was a guy.

I think what they saw is more of the mating ritual itself, and not the actual mating, as I doubt they'd be able to properly mate in mid-air <.<

I knew the episode was going to be good when we didn't get the OP. Poor Beast-Lord though. He was separated from his child, and got hurt and captured himself. I don't see why they keep capturing Beast-Lords when they can't even get close to them without using the mute whistle. It's heartless, and it seems pointless.

Esal did the right thing asking Erin to take care of Eku though, she's getting better and better at communicating with the Beast-Lords, and she was able to help him. I'm impressed at the strength of those wooden cages though, I know it was hurt, but even so a wild, and fully grown Beast-Lord wasn't able to break it.

I'm also glad Erin decided to share her worries with Esal, and told her the history behind the country. It's also funny the way the mist folk disappear in the mist, I mean, it's not like they can teleport, at least I think that they can't, so I can only imagine them running to the nearest bush so they can hide. lol Anyways, Erin is on point! The beasts aren't at fault, and they shouldn't be punished with so many codes and restrictions, being raised like that. The humans should be the ones to have control over themselves, but I guess that's too much to hope for. And of course Tomura wouldn't lose the opportunity to compliment Erin, but it's refreshing to see her being complimented instead of repressed.

But Beast-Lords are truly majestic, to think that even their mating ritual would be a sight to behold, I never thought they would conceive life while flying, and shining! This is their nature, and the way how they should be!

Poor Eku, he just lost his child/ren
I thought they're not going to let Eku go, but they do

I guess Lilan finally found his soulmate, that's cute
I love how they both flying in sync, like they suddenly got telepathy
At the very least Eku got another child after losing one, still sucks but now a bit less sucks

Looking closer, these beasts look like a breed between a wolf and a white eagle. I bet a wolf and an eagle were messy around or something.

Eku and Lilan in the sky mating was magnificent.

I'm confused as to what the author's view is on traditions and codes. In Moribito she promoted the keeping of oral traditions but here she seems to take a hard stance against traditionalism.

Eku isn't even at Kazalm for a week and he's already knocked up a local smh what a player >.<

Everyone was watching them omggggg ever heard of privacy y'all ugh
...at least someone's getting action during this quarantine LOL

Looks like that previously captured baby is about to have a half-sibling!

On a more serious note, it's so sad to see so many people being cynical of Erin. Like catastrophe happened when people in the past were controlling the animals, creating a power dynamic, but the way Erin is approaching animals, she's focusing more on COMMUNICATING not CONTROLLING so going for a “live peacefully together” instead of a “live peacefully bc we can control them” kind of way (I mean in a way she does have a power dynamic but they're closer equals her way).And boy did she SPILL THE TEA whe she was like “I think it's humans who've gotta watch their OWN actions instead of keeping the animals in constant check” like pREACH SIS

Today on Kemono no Souja Erin : furry hentai.

Actually, it was a beautiful scene. Though what amused me is people's reaction to it, they were all watching in absolute awe, but I'm pretty sure in real life people don't react that way to beasts banging. At least I really hope they don't.

I loved Erin confiding with Esal about her concerns about communicating with beast-lords, as well as the country's secret history she learned from Nason. I'm glad that the show's capable of having its characters discuss important issues and not keep them secret for the sake of drama. In this case, it pulls Esal closer to the overall drama, which I feel is much more interesting. Erin now has Esal to communicate her thoughts and fears about beast-lords, as well as her family lineage and how it links to the country's potential fate.

The visual representation of beast-lords mating was kind of strange, but it's not the first time I've seen mating represented through abstract imagery in fiction. Doesn't stop it from being strange though.

I was too engaged in the episode to write while I was watching, but I figured Lilan and Eku would get along when Lilan found the feather. I also kind of had a feeling that Lilan's fur changing was a sign of being in heat, but wasn't super sure. The instant full pink is kinda weird though.
Should be interesting to see where we go from here. I really hope Lilan doesn't drift away from Erin to focus on her own child...
