Hmm, so they need to fix their swords. That new girl definitely seems to have a crush on Hyakkimaru lol

Personally, I thought this episode is much more humorous than usual. Not much actual action this episode either.

Such a lighthearted and fluffy episode
Hyakkimaru sure is talking a lot more (though most if not all of his lines this ep are pretty much played for laughs)

They really like to switch between serious episodes and ... not so serious episodes.

But it was fine i guess.

Finally a refreshing episode. I was hoping that Hyakimaru accidentally married that beautiful girl right there and create babies(if he has that). Lol

Awwww, that was my favourite episode ever! So cute and funny and it really showed how much Dororo and Hyakkimaru have come to love each other!

So funny to see Dororo get jealous over Hyakkimaru, she was like 'back off bitch, thats's my brother!' haha

I don't want this anime to ever end 😭

I feel that this type of episode didn't seem so suitable for the series though. The circumstances felt a little bit... forceful. I mean, Dororo probably would have suspected much the moment he blurt out the opposite things, or Hyakimaru at the very least should had been able to realize and detect the presence of the ghoul. Also, technically speaking, that ghoul's power is a little too OP too. Being able to control the actions of someone (including what they speak) feels out of place in this series as well. Basically, telekinesis power just feels a bit far-fetched in this series so far. Then to end up with the ghoul getting comedically hit unconscious on the head in the end.

... I'm sure there'll be people who disagree with me but I'm aware that I'm quite a fussy person over trivial stuff myself so if it's about that I'm sorry haha. Overall I still find this episode entertaining though. It just kinda doesn't fits right to me.

Its pretty evident that either their budget is running out, or they're saving it up for the very end. Compare the animation of the last few episodes to the first few, the difference it prominent. I hope we get to see the smooth animation that we saw in the beginning soon.

Next episode will have even hotter character than sharkboy! But it look like it's sidequest, and after that it'll have just 4 episodes left. Maybe Season 2?

Hyakki hugging the horse was so cute!

This felt like a filler episode, but not a bad one.

I wasn't expecting to see a goblin in this anime.

The woman who was insulting the girl with such a motherly voice was one of my favourite parts of the episode.

just confused in whole half episode because the villager act so strange lol I'm in same situation with Dororo-chan

I just feel it's okay tho to have one or two comedy filled episode in this 24 episode long serious anime~
even it felt like filler, the story telling still in high quality tho (as Dororo always done) so glad the episode end very satisfy me, that brother and sister so uwu together~

also, so curious with that guy in the next episode!

Why do people always say "is there budget running out" Every time they try to justify to themselves a reason why a epiosde looks Rocky in animation .

When that most likely not the problem

For example it's like going to a see a movie that has over 100mill budget and while sitting through it and noticing the cgi is off and you go " looks like they ran out of budget" when it's clear the budget isn't the problem it's the people that worked on it and the time spent on it also . ( Just an example I'm well aware and anime epiosde wouldn't cost 100mill )

Even though the pace was different than the last episode I enjoyed the fact it was a small light weight episode with humour. The fact that the animation is better this episode could show that the incoming episodes are going to be action based and the budget has been saved for these.

That was a much livelier episode compared to the past ones. Have to say though not that bad although I do hope these next few eps wrap everything up nicely

Because it most likely is. That or production issues, or if they went with a different ep director like that one episode. If the overall animation throughout the entire series was rocky (like My Sister my Writer) then that reasoning would be less valid.

Well that was the calm before the storm I guess. This episode was exceedingly funny that I couldn't care less about the animation (to me it was fine).

I honestly enjoyed this episode, gave a nice refreshment and showed a bit of Hyakkimaru's journey of learning how to actually live in a world.
Dororo seems so done with this that it's probably what their everyday life looks like since Hyakkimaru started to speak lol
I realized the pace and animation was different, but so was this episode, so that might be done on purpose.
Also, the anime has different vibe to it, but it's been gradually changing every episode (as Hyakkimaru started becoming more human, so the shift is obvious and unavoidable). Personally, I think that first episodes are more beautiful story-wise, but the lattest bring much more joy to life of its characters (excluding Tahoumaru lol), are less tense and the atmosphere is lighter. I enjoy both of these.

Very different from what I am accustomed to getting from this anime but I enjoyed it very much. I am just hoping that the ending won't be rushed seeing how many episodes are left to air.

The moment when Dororo was jealous was so adorable.

It was a great episode that does a homage to version of 1969.
The anime needs to have comic relief or a quieter moment because if all the time the tension is over, the climax can no longer take effect in the audience.

A good, and funny episode. I guess that by the end of it Hyakkimaru learned that he shouldn't do what Jukai did to him with just anyone, even if he doesn't understand why. xD But it was really cute when he did the forehead rubbing with the horse. The youkai, ayakashi?, this time was really troublesome though, he wasn't strong by himself, but he certainly had the power to instill chaos. lol Okowa was funny too, and I'm glad she wasn't hurt in the end.

And the way they just needed to fix the statue's standing to seal the demon again was funny too. Just like the way Hyakkimaru didn't want to move from the inn without his katanas. xD Well, he is learning how to recognize emotions, and understanding his own better. "Okowa looks happy", "we look happy". It was all really beautiful and funny, even it wasn't really an 'eventful' episode, it served to solidify Hyakkimaru and Dororo's wish to remain together and journey on. Welp, he has his swords, and he is ready to fight, the end is nearing.

Kinda...weird to have a comedic episode after the show already established itself to be this serious. A random opposite day thing doesn't exactly work with the story's tone so far, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I like the actual exploration into how Hyakkimaru being clueless about social interaction doesn't help the situations he gets into that don't involve fighting (although I do like watching him nuzzle everyone in sight).

I'm getting the sense that Dororo's trying to do the Samurai Champloo thing of being able to showcase a bunch of different tones and animation styles over the course of its episodic adventures. Hence the almost Shojo-romance comedy of errors this episode and the weird atmosphere and editing of episode 15. That said, I don't think it lends itself as well to that kind of experimentation; the tone established in the early episodes was fairly grounded, gritty and consistent, so it's kind of jarring seeing it mesh into these unfamiliar styles.

This episode isn’t really important well i mean if you don’t want to watch this episode it’s okay. Because this episode doesn’t have any point of it except Hyakkimaru got his katana fixed. Hyakkimaru does talk a lot in this episode. And btw he’s so cute when he hug that horse

That was a light hearted episode meant to amuse the viewers. Amanojaku is such a mischievous ghoul, I thought Hyakkimaru was going to marry the girl but break it off at the end. Those swords were nice but I wish he did a cool edgy upgrade though!

I did not expect comedy here. But ok. I'm fine with this.
A ghoul that reverts what everyone is saying. Certainly weird and interesting.
