This episode was another weird one...

Dealing with oni and that giant rooster. Yikes. At least we got to see a tougher side of that Millia girl. She seemed so harmless at first. Mikoto didn't even seem to take everything seriously in all this drama. Heh, perhaps she and Mikoto can become good friends from now on.

The positive about this episode: it follows up with last week's episode, and links up with Episode 3 of the TV "On Air" version.

The angel Atra really helped out Frau's life, and that's just a fragment of her memories. Carrot asking Sally about her extermination of Sett the walrus demon for confirmation, and the shopkeeper that saw the demi-humans before aren't that happy about the ruckus. But whatever it is, Carrot is happy that she's free of the demonic life. Atra asking the vampire about his own life, and he's ready to depart to the afterlife. Anyways, both Carrot and Frau are good demonic friends now.

This is officially the start where Mikoto and Hair oni a.k.a Hatsuki-cum-Sister Millia coincided with each other in their own journeys. And to no surprise, she is a demon, which rubs Mikoto the wrong way instinctively, but her being amnesiac, Mikoto's helper dog brushed it aside to save her life from being trampled by the peach boy. Being in a forest means that demons aren't far away, even if higher-up demons come to capture her back.

The flashback with Sally means that both met up earlier before Mikoto (that's to be presented in a future TV episode), but the peach boy doesn't care about Millia's state as an oni since that's their own conflict. And unlike Carrot, Millia rips her horn out, which forces her demonic origins to go away, and requesting Mikoto help her bail out of the situation, and he did.

With Episodes 5 and 6, we've yet to watch what happens in-between, so look forward to that.

I liked this episode a lot, been seeing some negative feedback on it but not sure why. Thought Hatsuki was a cool addition for Mikoto and provides a nice mirror with Sally also travelling with an ogre. Also found out that mikoto isn’t really mikoto, so some important information dropped this week.

Frau is still very mysterious, I want to learn more about her/him (I still don't get if it's a female or male, the subs say that it's a male for my version but it's suspicious)
That whole part with the ogre Mikoto was also interesting but I'm confused, we didn't see the part that they were talking about where Sally first killed her, right?

So after the first four episodes, it's still not in order. Sighhhhhhh...-.-
It's time to drop it until the end of the season.

Might as well wait until this show finishes, then watch it in the original order.

Manga readers, what are your thoughts on the adaptation so far? Cuz as an anime only, it definitely feels like they either skipping shit or fucking up the order of events, making shit more confusing....

Another good episode, But I really wish they'd make the blondes look different man, I keep thinking they are showing flashbacks to when Sally was with Mikoto. This episode seriously had me thinking "Wait, has Sally been an Ogre this whole time?!?" And then she imagined running into her. Also the Angel looks like Sally too if it wasn't for the eye color. But anyway definitely liking this Anime although I don't understand why it's called Peach Boy when at least to me it seems that Sally is the MC, and I really think the title might throw some people off of giving this show a shot. I know plenty won't care, but I tried recommending it to my friend and he scoffed at it because of it. But hopefully it's popular enough to get more seasons.

Well, this is how we met the weird Nun. She was pretty funny in the last episode. An orge before but rescued by Mikito.

This anime is a mess

This is the second time they have talked about fights that never happened. I don't know if it's an editing problem or if there are ghost chapters .5 hanging around. I will NOT continue to watch an anime that tells me an unfinished story. This reminds me of the legendary Katanagatari fight between Hakuhei and Shichika.

It's always painful to see an anime with a lot of potential wasted by questionable production factors.

Not everyone is smart enough to re-order the episodes correctly.

Even a lot of people struggled by watching Monogatari Series in release order.

So apparently the chronological order of the episodes so far is 4-1-2-5-6-3 and there are still more episode in between to come... the more I see the more I question this choice.

This episode was the weakest till now.

The only important information was that Kibitsu Mikoto, is the son of the original Momotaro,probably.
The rest was mostly was just transition.

With time to think, makes me wonder, what happened to Monkey and Pheasant?

I would have been completely lost if it wasn't for the Manga. Atleast we got an instant follow up from the previous episode, but still missing some important parts that was shown in this episode by a few flashes. Like Juki and Hatsune (Millia) being involved with it. Can't wait to see that episode, cause I am dying to see Winnie Animated.

Judging by the title, we're gonna get the events right after that whole kingdom got blown up with Hawthorn barely surviving (end of on-air ep 2) next week. Man, this order is a mess.

Millia taking off the ogre horns was the thing she thought of in that situation, Mikoto demonstrated his strength but he didn't actually fight, I hope there was a fight, it was an episode with a lot of good things and it's weird.

So there is a lot of super natural stuff going on and I like how. However just like everyone else my brain is rattled with the order of episodes.

This one should have been before or after episode 3 and we don't even know what Sally did to Millia as well.

So yeah.

Really good episode! And it's a direct continuation of the last episode plus also filling in the missing pieces for that tournament episode. I am assuming the chronological order would have been last episode and then this episode and then the tournament episode. Now I await for that tree ogre episode lmao.

Those big red eyes on Frau is cool and creepy at the same time. That merchant definitely deserved that punch, also want Sally to stare at me with contempt and punch me in the face- wait what? Nice to see how Mikoto and Millia became companions she's cool. Looking forward to Sally seeing Millia again but with Mikoto.

nice episode!
Sally really defended Carrot even from that fatass human!
Looks like Mikoto just gained a former order now human nun follower Millia!

btw Atra, the beautiful Yuuko Suzuhana's voice which is also the leader of Wagakki Band, sounds similar to VA Uchida Maaya...in some lines...
5/5.

lots of stuff
obviously need to watch ep12 before ep6, the character conflicts & growth, Sally vs Carrot, nun etc mostly makes sense.

Only part questionable sense is Mikoto tried to kill nun, despite after ep12 Sumeragi's important talk.

Good to see Carrot having changed her mind on Sally despite the latter not murdering her own kind but at least giving a good punch to the face when they really deserve it.

Respect to Hatsuki/Millia having pulled out her broken horn saving her life in the process.

Atleast they put the episode that should release after last weeks episode.. *Clap Clap*.. They got it right this time..

But I wonder what they're doing with the episodes that are supposed to release before this Arc..

On another note: Nice Punch Sally.. That Shopkeep really deserved it.

Found Millia ripping out her own horn like that gnarly. Saved her life though, so I guess it was worth it. Mikoto can't really call himself a lone traveller anymore, with a talking dog and loli nun in tow.
