| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh God that scene in the bath house was just priceless.  Decent episode imo although I got a few face palm moments. Yaichirou was pretty gar this episode. |
 |
| FROGBRO!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!??? Things just got a lot more complicated. How is Mom going to react when she learns about this... Also that exchange between Yasaburo and Akadama when the latter suspects the former of having a thing for Benten was gold |

| Hey, look at that, after 6 episodes, they decide to actually give us something noone knew about dad's death in the 7th episode... I still think the anime's description is misleading. I've been waiting for this like 4 episodes back. Meh~ |
   |
| Wow, this episode was really something. I didn't expect that - I thought we'd get an episode about the Nise-emon elections, and here we got a brilliant comedy, and then suddenly it changed into drama. I wonder if we're going to see the frog brother in his tanuki/human form? Btw the beginning of the episode - this anime is just so beautiful: |
| So it was Yajiro's fault that he let his father get caught and then boiled. |
 |
| Wow, so it was Yajiro's fault that his dad got boiled. I wonder why he just up and left him though, that's what I'm trying to figure out, even though he was drunk, I'm pretty sure that he knew that he was with his dad. Guess I'll just have to find out next week. |
 |
| That was unexpected. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Oh, noes!... I still think it was a combination of unfortunate events that lead to Souichirou's death and his and Yajirou's carelessness were only part of the whole. I will not jump on the second brother, though - obviously, he took the blame and sentenced himself for life. If I am to believe their father's greatness, I'd say it is a wasteful punishment - life is what it is, shit happens, live on. So maybe, Yajirou turned to eien frog, Benten cries because she didn't know the tanuki she had for the meeting was Souichirou... I wonder if Kaisei has a similar role and hides like she does because of that. Yaichirou was awesome in this episode, especially in the end. Love this family *_* |
| So it was Yajirou's fault for leaving their dad behind, but still was their dad too drunk to transform and escape the cage? From what I saw in the last episode he was sober enough, or is there is something more going on? |
| This show's logic is all over the place. Why is it the brother's fault that their father was eaten? From what we saw, he could have easily escaped but chose not to do so because of some honour crap. Don't get me wrong, I like the show, it's beautiful and the characters are interesting but sometimes their reasoning seems off. |
| Public Bath episode !! LOL |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| What Yajirou? So he felt bad about it and probably thought it was kind of his fault so he became a frog in the well? What a sad truth to learn :( But the first half of the episode was pretty entertaining, I love how sensei didn't want to take a bath, but the brothers take care of that. And the whole part with Ginkaku and Kinkaku was hilarious :D Yaichirou is awesome. |

From what we saw, he could have easily escaped but chose not to do so because of some honour crap. Don't get me wrong, I like the show, it's beautiful and the characters are interesting but sometimes their reasoning seems off. 1) the Ebisugawas, who want to make the Shimogamos look bad; 2) Yaichiro, who is either mad at his brother for having hidden this piece of information, or concerned about how this revelation will affect his chances of winning the election (or both); 3) Yajiro, who feels disproportionately guilty for the whole thing. Neither of these parties can assess what has happened impartially, and, as far as we know, none of them knows anything about the father's actions in captivity (and even if the Ebisugawas do, it might be in their interest to pretend otherwise), so as far as they know Soichiro may well have gone straight into the pot without ever regaining consciousness. |
| i think its just that yaijiro blames himself for leaving his father and he was even hiding this info anyway awesome episode. I like hoe every piece is coming together |
 |
| Shocking revelation. 0_________0 I don't know if I should trust what Ebasagasawa mentioned about Souichiro. It could be that they caused his death and not Yajirou. Since they want the Nise-emon title so much that they'd do anything. He blames himself for their father's death so he stays in the well to reflect? In the previous episode. Hotei mentioned that Souichirou fulfilled his role as dad and raised them well. So he had no regrets when the time he got eaten by Friday Fellows. |

| Nice episode, kinda sad ending. |
 |
| Oh boy, frog-brother is (partially) responsible? I don't really believe it. We'll have to wait for an answer. |
 |
| Slow episode. The revelation wasn't shocking. |
 |
| My jaw dropped open in the beginning. The fall colors are so beautiful! The bathhouse part is so hilarious esp with the twin stupid brothers. And the last part is shocking and sad.. needs more explanation next week. |
Ceresia said: Btw the beginning of the episode - this anime is just so beautiful: ^This. The bathhouse scene was funny, while the ending scene was sad. Maybe this is why Yajirou is a frog. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Ginkaku and Kinkaku confront Yaichirou about the Nise-emon elections.And they have a trump card. Souichirou's death wasn't as noble as it was thought out to be,turns out he was drinking with Yajirou,got drunk and got caught.Hopefully Ginkaku and Kinkaku don't release that information or Yaichirou's chance of becoming the Nise-emon are pretty much ruined.If they do hopefully the onfromation turns out to be wrong somehow. Also beautiful scenery in the beginning Ceresia said: |

| As for people wondering why his father didn't escape the cage, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to reveal your ability to shape shift as a tanuki. Sure he talked, but the professor himself wonders if it had really happened. We can see that the Friday Fellows have no idea about the tanuki and tengu world. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| His father was sober when he got cooked so something must had happen. 1. The 2nd son drunk almost got caught -> father was not drunk and sacrifices himself. 2. Father was drunk got caught, sobered up somehow and talked to the professor,etc 3. Something else happen. 6 more episodes left i doubt its 1 or 2 but who knows? |
 |
| That's quite the revelation. |
| What an amazing episode. That look on Yasaburo's face when he was bull bracing for the wind was awesome. Also did anyone else find what the professor revealed about the Tengu not knowing Benten was a human and not a Tengu a revelation as well? =o I had the impression they had known she was a human this whole time. I mean, she doesn't have wings and that seems hard to fake... xD The bath scene and at the professor's place was amazingly funny I laughed a lot this whole episode. =3 Did anyone else find the dialogue between Yajirou and Yasaburou super cute? xD That brother is so amusing. =3 |
| .....first public bath episode where there r no gurls! ... . idk the atmosphere when they confirmed that Yajirou abandoned drunk Dad was a bit forced...... i wouldnt mind if it was a cliffhanger; it was rushed i didnt get the feels from it ;__; |
feretto said: First as vonPeterhof said, nobody is saying it is the brother's fault except the Ebisugawas and for us the viewers we have yet to see what exactly happened. On the other hand, don't you think you were just too quick to reach conclusion? Is it that hard to believe that the father could easily escape even if he drank so much that he fell into a slump?? And I don't even see how you could even call it "the logic is all over the place". What I see is the logic has held very well so far in this show. The logic in your post seems to be a lot more over the place to be honest .This show's logic is all over the place. Why is it the brother's fault that their father was eaten? From what we saw, he could have easily escaped but chose not to do so because of some honour crap. On a separate note, the red leaves in fall near the Arashiyama bridge (which you could see at the beginning of the episode) is absolutely gorgeous. It is worth a visit to Kyoto just to see that in real. |

| Could the possibility that the father wasn't drunk. So he protected Yajirou ( drunk) from getting caught instead. I believe the father trusted that his family will solve anything that involves them. |
| i really don't know why i'm still watching this but i guess it's not that bad |
 |
| One of the only anime, manga, books, whatever, that can actually make bathroom humour funny. I was also really afraid that the reveal was going to be that Akadaima-sensei was the drinking partner. |

| the episode ended so quickly as if I only watched it for 10 mins... amazing, purely amazing show and direction! just as some of you pointed out, I doubt that Yajirou is seriously the one to blame. It does look that he's just been made a scapegoat. I wonder what has really happened. I bet Yajirou did get drunk, probably to the point of losing himself. So it's likely that when he sobered up, he learned that his father was caught and eaten. He probably doesn't remember what and how exactly happened, but he probably put all blame on himself and punished himself to living as a frog in a well. What else would you expect from the one with idiot's blood, indeed. Souichirou looked pretty resolved to get eaten. I wonder why. I guess shape-shifting is prohibited in front of humans but I doubt he truly didn't have a chance to run away. Of course, the cage could've been way tighter than it was drawn... but nah, I guess he could've nevertheless sneak out somehow, e.g. as a snake or something like that. And I wonder why he didn't want to talk in front of Benten - trying to stay tanuki in front of a human or he didn't want to let her know that he's the father of the guy she studies together with at Akadama sensei's... and then there's Kaisei and Shimogamo's mother about whom we know so little. Ah, such an unexpected gem of the season, this show! |
| well um that was unexpected. |
| I'm betting that the father wasn't drunk and frog guy doesn't really remember anything after he got drunk. The reason that the father got caught is probably different which will be prove by an important character later. Kaisei I guess? Cuz she's everywhere. |
| Shocking episode. Not to say Yajiro is fully responsible just yet but I mean still, definitely did not expect that. I'm expecting the full story to reveal itself soon enough. On a brighter note, that bath scene was hilarious. XD |
 |
| Am I the only one who finds it disgusting that virtually every old man to ever lay eyes on Benten is head over heels in love with her? |
 |
| That's what goddesses do.... As I think about this, and some of the setups that have been made I suspect the big revelation is yet to come. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This episode ended with a blink of eye! So, that's the reason why he stay as a frog, I hope we'll see him in his tanuki and human form again! |
| This is a oddly weird and charming anime. Looks fun so far. |
| That fall scenery in the beginning was amazing. |
[center] |
| Wow, that revelation D= Really nice episode, even without Benten. 5/5. |
 |
| The scenary at the start was just so beautiful. Also, excellent OST like always. embolon said: gregthemaniac said: I'm sure other people saw this much earlier than me and I'm not sure if anyone else has brought this up earlier but I finally took a closer look at the kanjis that are displayed around the single characters at the start of the OP. Seems like they are a motto, that fits the individual character (I guess since I could only really read the following four, the other being hard to read). Yasaburou, 天下太平, tenka taiyou, peaceful and tranquil (uneventful); peace reigns over the land Yajirou, 絶体絶命, zettai zetsumei, desperate situation; being driven into a corner Benten, 天下無敵, tenka muteki, peerless; unequalled Mother, 用意周到, youi shuutou, very careful; thoroughly prepared Maybe someone else have the rest of the readings? Hi gregthemaniac, I don't know the pronunciation, but I do know what they means. elder brother, 乾坤一掷: bet on all you have, original in Chinese motto means bet on the whole country little brother, 融通无碍: originally Japanese motto, 2 separate words in Chinese. Means do things or deal with people with no obstacles sensei, 马耳东风: originally Chinese motto. means does not care about other people's words, or literally, consider other people's words as the wind (just flow away) baka brothers： 迷惑万千, don't know where it comes from, I am guessing it means someone is capable to confuse or deceive a lot of people. 拍手喝彩: in Chinese it just means applaud and cheer. Here I am guessing it is used to describe one of the baka brother loves to applaud when the other succeeds a fraud. 雨过天晴: originally Chinese motto, literally means sun comes out after the rain, usually means politically brightness comes after the dark ages. Thanks, this is actually really interesting. |
 |
| the beginning scene was gorgeous. so was Benten. The twins were annoying. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| That was definitely a shocker |
| A quite slow episode but well the ending was rather sad :'( well lets see what happens next! |
