Have to agree. Everything in the "recap episode" is not new, but it goes over it in case you missed it when it was integrated into previous episodes...

I'm looking forward to going back to Youko's side of the story, too!

Its still a good vocab lesson. But I still want to know what happened to them.

Just skimmed :3 The recap after the first arc really cleared things up so understanding terms and what was happening was easier.

It's a real hard watch at the moment. The last few episodes have almost put me to sleep.

A decent recap, couple of new informations and explaining. Still the pace is questionable, and it could have been better so far.

This arc was just awful. I should have just skipped to this recap and saved myself some time. I hope future episodes improve at least back to the levels of the first arc.

We already knew king and Kirin were not in Tai. Yet they managed to waste all of these episodes NOT explaining that.

I rather liked this arc in spite of its slowness, but I am furious: I wanted to know WHY Taiki returned to Japan and WHY the king that he chose is dead ! This is the thing I wanted to know the most ! It's frustrating !

I know I shouldn't say this but...
Come on, we're not that forgetful.. It's just 7 episodes

There are just too many recap episodes, I guess they're just way too lazy :P

I couldn't agree more. I didn't like this arc basically at all until episode 20. I'm glad I can finally watch more Youko though!

Yeah, it was a recap but a good one, it had some info dump about the other kingdoms that exists in this world but haven't heard anything from them, which is very much appreciated

Much needed recap. So many terms and different names given to the same people. I've been able to follow the overall story fine, but I was not keeping up with all of the dialogue at times. This helped me understand the world a lot more.

Man... Juuni Kokuki recap episodes are sure well done but... Is it really necessary to make a recap of the last six episodes? Moreover, those six episodes are flash-back... It gets long and boring, we need the plot to move forward. Show me Yoko, show me Rakushun please.

the music played when Taiki is spirited away sounds super familiar, what is it?
