Pretty slow episode but nonetheless, good. I really wanted to see what happens in the end but i guess we all have to wait til next week.

I wonder what that old man and yipyan was planning to do...

i thought it was cute that lumati kept blushing

That guy at the end took forever to attempt to kill Lumati. Oh well let's kill a few seconds by drawing out the end. I was expecting more to happen in those last few minutes.

It may feel as though as I'm just repeating myself, but I love the dialogue direction in the series, and the dialogue scens as a whole.

So the real story begins to unfold

Looking forward to next episode .

Indeed! With a knife like that, almost every stab would be fatal.. oh well.

The episode was ok, too bad nothing really important happened. I thought the animation in the first 10 minutes was a bit sloppy. It's good they went for 38 episodes, because anything less would have been horrible for the plot development.

Aaah, I love predator birds. Lukia, quite the name. (Lugia, anyone?)

I'm wondering what Li-ren said (in the preview) when he finally had Kajika in his arms again. ('Finally' or 'I'm relieved' or 'I LOVE YOU"??!) Nah, probably not, I'm just dreaming :p He's probably just very glad to see she's save.

What a drawn out episode. The whole thing could have happened in at most half the time and still have been fine. But this arc is still far better than Eugene's.

This episode was far better than the previous one with good dramatization and quite a lot of action for this kind of series. Also the betrayal of Lumati's brother was relatively unexpected from what we had been previously told about him (a weak and blind man, very kind, respected and loved by his brother).

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

I didn't like this episode as much as the others...It's different from the story in the manga and not in a good way. The advancing knife scene at the end of the episode is ridiculously slow especially given that it was originally a very fast-paced scene. Are the staff trying to save money by reducing the amount of movement animation they do in each episode? And I wish they wouldn't remove all the humor. A large part of the series and the characters' charm come from their humorous banter...

I understand that the scriptwriters want to put some of their own creativity into the episodes they write, but please, don't lose the essence of who the characters are and what the strength of the series is.

Well Lumati obviously won't die. But apparently according to the preview, it seems something tragic is gonna happen. xD

Nice episode I guess. :) Me like Lumati.

Am I the only one who notices that all those people in foreign countries that aren't main characters look like they're... western? I mean, those people definitely didn't look like they are Chinese. T_T

Why does Rumati's brother need Rumati to be assasinated? Looks like he will suffer some damage, be it either physical or mental.

I have to agree that this arc is far better than the last one. Nevertheless, this show still did not make a huge impact to me.

I was wondering about the length of this entire show. I know its pretty long. However, what will they cover once all the three guys were introduced?

Oh there's plenty to happen. Let's say the focus shifts from simple husband search to something more engrossing for Kajika and tha udience, arguably.

The story develops better as I thought, and this arc is improved than the last one. I was unexpected that Lumati’s brother betray to him.

I really wasn't sure if I was going to like him at all, in fact I really wanted to not watch this one because I didn't like him, but I'm glad I watched the whole thing because I most defiantly warmed up to his character.

Why would those thugs even be wandering in the forest. Makes no sense.

Are you sure you can lecture someone else about friendships when you've only had one "friend" and for only one month at that.

Why would the thug suddenly burst out laughing when it's mentioned one of them is a prince.

And in a "surprise" twist it's his brother who is behind the assassination attempt.

By far the best episode of the series so far. It shows the depth the show is going into and reminds me of similar anime that turned out to be great. Love the genre too, so there's that.
