Whoa, those were some odd scenes this episode lol.

Pretty intense episode overall. My feelings are bit conflicted of Natsume's character though. She's just too hard to read but I think she's starting to see herself as Yuta, or similarly.

These people in the show are just creepy. From the dad to the monk.

The ‘mermaid’ was a reference to the Fiji Mermaid hoax of 1847.

I feel bad about the monkey fish thing. That must've been a miserable existence. At least it didn't have to live long.

I felt bad about Natsume too. She was too young to understand anything. The monk shouldn't have meddled. Pa was bad though.

Post-credits scene was funny.

I'm getting tired of these imperfect incarnations dying. It's like this overhanging, unintentional moralism (counter-productive to the show's sympathy) that unless you're perfectly human-like you don't get to live. I've seen it time and time again across media and it's close-minded.

That monkey's life was mortifying.
