I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| A pretty good episode. I thought them breaking out of the spell was a little too convenient. IIRC, it took a while for Inuyasha to figure out how to do that properly, although Sesshoumaru was able to do it from day one. I liked the first half of the episode. It was slow paced but the scene in front of the Tree of Ages was nice. The pace towards the second half did make wonder how this episode was going to finish but we'll have to wait a week for a resolution. Daddy Sess finally showing up. Hopefully Kirinmaru v Sesshoumaru will be nice. |
| Setsuna could've just cut herself slightly but no, she decided make a deep stab wound lol. |
 |
| This was honestly a nice episode, quite surprised. If this was the old Inuyasha, it would probably take 2 episodes for them to figure out how to break the spell. But considering we only have 7 episodes left, that was fine as well. Talking about episodes, I'm starting to get worried. Even though it started fast, the current pace is not that fast anymore. With the number of episodes we have left, it will either be a rushed ending (and that's I'm worried) or they have a sequel planned for some time in the future. I kinda understand the fact that things may end in the next episodes considering that, unlike Naraku, Kirinmaru seems like to be someone who would rather show up (like we can see in next ep's preview) than just keep waiting and sending other people in his place. Said that, I wish we would have more development, but that would require another season and they are probably not willing to do that. |

Said that, I wish we would have more development, but that would require another season and they are probably not willing to do that. I was thinking the same thing too about the episode count; considering Hero Academia will take over Yashahime's JP timeslot in about 7 more weeks. That said, the JP side has never given a confirmed episode count for Yashahime. Also the series is currently the 4th most watched anime in Japanese TV's primetime hours, behind the ratings heavyweights of Sazae-san, Detective Conan and Chibi-Maruko-chan (but beating One Piece and Doraemon). https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-01-29/japanese-animation-tv-ranking-january-11-17/.168939 Some commenters elsewhere think the showrunners were testing the waters with this 20+ episode run, to see if Yashahime is worth continuing as a longrunning anime series (just like the OG anime) based on domestic TV ratings. But we'll just have to wait and see. On your mention of the OG series 2-episodes (or more) per arc, I wonder if that would have helped the pacing from feeling too rushed. Like how if last week's Moroha's backstory arc had been distributed across 2 eps or more instead of compressed into 1 episode, the plot would've been more impactful. Surprised and really glad about the amount of people watching the series, didn't knew about that. Other thing I was thinking about, is that Inuyasha was a manga adaptation, which means that as long as the source keep running, we could be sure that sooner or later it would be animated. But Yashahime is an original animation, so even though it gives them more freedom to bring new ideas, the ones watching can never be sure if it will keep going through season or just end in a rush. Pacing felt really rushed at the start. Like two of the four perils were defeated really fast. After Konton showed up that the pace felt a little bit better. Current pace feels nice (maybe a little bit rushed if they plan it to be a long series) but all I can say is that if it keeps like this, it will not end in 24 episodes or it will get really rushed from now on. |
| Konton's plan didn't work, Towa and Setsuna broke through the spell. Are they finally gonna slay him in next episode? I sure hope they do. |

Two of the four perils were defeated a while ago not this episode. We have plenty of time left it shouldn't be rushed I was talking about the anime as a whole, not this episode specifically. And like zz2000 said, there are still more stuff unanswered (like where is Shippou and what happened to the other twin) so I wouldn't call it plenty of time left. Zero and Riku still need more development as well. If they try to answer everything and end it in those next episodes it will feel rushed. But that's just my opinion. I can kind of understand why you think like that as well. They can end it without rushing, but I feel they would leave stuff without a proper answer. |
| I'm curious how Sesshomaru will react to seeing his daughters again. |
 |
| Well, about time. Riku meeting the Four Perils' Konton, he's like the pawn/mediator to the chessboard between both good and evil. With only 2 of the 4 Perils remaining (Totetsu and Konton), Kirinmaru and Zero can only trust that Riku can do a good job honoring his deal with them. Laying the foundation to trick the half-demon princesses, starting with the debt-heavy gullible Moroha, which in turn influences Towa and Setsuna. A trusty trickster, as pirates tend to be. In the magic field barrier, Konton's endless control of illusion that plays against the 3 girls, and adding to that, Towa's constant weakness in emotional interpretation (to which I hope she'd improve on that). Thankfully, Towa's discernment makes for a good segue to lead both herself and Setsuna out into the real world against Konton head-on (while leaving Moroha to Totetsu). I'm concerned in particular about Sesshomaru meeting both daughters again, it would prove the deciduous factor for breaking the camel's back. |

| I’m hoping they end up giving us more episodes than the currently MAL listed 24. From what I’ve seen, this is the 4th most watched prime time hour anime this season. So if the show runners were just testing its popularity, it looks good to go longer. As for today’s episode, I really enjoyed it. I did find it a little too convenient that Setsuna and Towa broke out of the illusion so quickly. In OG Inuyasha that would’ve been like a two episode endeavour. Looking forward to see how that fight goes next week and seeing Sesshomaru Riku is a really interesting character and I’m still not sure what his intentions are. Triple agent type beat? We’ll see |

nerfx said: I'm curious how Sesshomaru will react to seeing his daughters again. Indeed that should be interesting. I am also wondering if Riku is really on the bad side or just pulling a double double agent because it kinda sounded like he is after the pearl that trapped Inuyasha and Kagome. |
| Like...it was a decent episode but JFC was it animated by a 3 year old? I mean the first half was atrocious! At least the second half looked moderately better. Next week DADDY returns LOL |

| I enjoyed this episode quite a bit, it was much much better than last week's. Not as linear of a storyline and the pacing wasn't bad. I liked how Setsuna pointed out Towa's weakness, that was something that irked me too. Konton's spell was interesting, but he never really did anything with it lol. Except poor Moroha keeps getting separated from the two and has to figure out how to get out from the trap herself. I feel like the last few minutes were rushed, the illusion part was resolved a little too fast. And where the heck does Kirara keep disappearing off to? I wish she could've tagged along with them, just seeing her makes me happy. She's so damn adorable. Otherwise, great episode and I'm excited to see Sesshomaru finally showing up in front of his daughters. All I want is to see their family interactions. |

| oh nice! next ep would be the girls would be meeting pops! |
 |
| pretty good episode, the story is moving along. Totesu leads the 3 half-demon princesses into a field trap that Konton controls. Towa finds out that this a field trap and realizes it when they switched places. |
 |
| Only took 17 episodes but we may finally have some story progress. |
 |
| One of the trio should be able to figure out that Riku is up to no good! For one thing, he conveniently knew where Totetsu was, which led them into that field. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Setsuna made a really good point that Towa shouldn't underestimate the feudal era. It's a very easy mindset to fall into when you have these time travel stories, that the "unenlightened" people of the past aren't as smart or capable as someone from the future. |
| Totetsu figured out Moroha's surprise attack based on Towa's stupid facial expression... That was a bruh moment right there. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were f*cked hard by Naraku's tricks and deceptions. About time the Yashahimes learned the lesson to not trust anybody thanks to Riku. I was gonna go to sleep but seeing Sesshomaru in the preview... Fuck it, one more episode. |
| Pretty boring, just a lot of running around. |
| An episode where the squad has to outsmart a spell. It's been done in Inuyasha of course but it's only right that the daughters do the same. Nothing too special here, but the next episode should be quite interesting. |
