Not going to lie, I found this episode rather amusing especially with how goofy the adults are. The older characters looked like they were high on something. Everyone was behaving strangely except for Memenpu.

I kinda felt bad for Memepu since she was surrounded by how their erratic behavior. Then again, Memepu is a lot more mature than she looks so she handled well until her emotional breakdown. Yikes.

Almost the entire was about the repeated drinking and hallucinating. WTF!

Memempu, I know that you want to continue your journey as soon as possible, but with those sick members your team need to rest or your stubbornness will ruin everything. Thinking carefully and rationally.

Memempu's revelation...Urorop is inside the utopia of that dream, but I'd like to know more if it.

The accompaniment of Zackletu and Yuri with the father-daughter duo while travelling long journeys under the heavy influence of booze and the red flowers which creates the Percy Jackson casino of a lotus flower allegory of hallucinations, I'd thought that they're repeating the same sequence of events for no reason, but the mind is intangible to those experiences. More so for Memempu to keep getting hallucinations about her dream, the adults are a bad example this time round.

From getting drunk to getting sick, the hallucinated Memempu has to juggle their behaviours getting more rowdy with hatching fake toxic flowers of pollen and symptoms made worse by the count. It's...pretty bad for all of them, only except that Memempu's foreshadowing death flag of a dream felt quite real while the others can't be cured with just water and rest.

Memempu is stressed to the point of emotional breakdown while the adults sortie and get their act altogether.

Urorop's dream is beginning to look a lot like Made In Abyss with those death flags...and the person is watching.

Scary episode.

This episode was much better than the last few.

The comedy parts were funny and most importantly, we are finally back on track on the adventure of Memenpu and solving the mystery of that "place".

Well at least the flowers and the cactus aren't addictive.

I like how even the characters think that Gagumber, sometimes go too far in his life lesson speech.

Just speculating no real connection to the real story
For info I have not read this series.
Think the uroroup turns out to be Gagambar's wife who is making her daughter dream that scene. Man that would be a twist. And it would turn out to be like comedy.

@IchiTokoanimelov

Think the uroroup turns out to be Gagambar's wife
I've been thinking the same for a while now. There's no memo of the wife. Gagumber never mentions wife. All we know is that she supposedly dumped him... Though I don't buy that crap. It's a lie Gagumber likely fabricated to avoid questions.
It's also possible that Gagumber adopted Memenpu though, and is hiding the fact from her.
who is making her daughter dream that scene. Man that would be a twist. And it would turn out to be like comedy.
Why comedy though? I think it makes perfect sense for the daughter of Uroroup to have dreams about her mom. Some supernatural stuff has to play a role, but I think it's certain that Memenpu and Uroroup are somehow connected.

My wildest guess though, would be that Memenpu is a clone or a reincarnation of Urorop!!! This would make sense to why Memenpu is such a genious despite her age. In the last dream (that we see from Memenpu's POV) Memenpu is seen in a dress and then she turns into an infant who is likely being held by that "mummy person". That mummy person is likely looking for Memenpu, and something tells me they're not Uroroup!

With the foreshadowing of something bad happening with Gagumber (in the ED of the anime, near route 99) I think there will be less comedy soon (The gang is on route 74 or 75 now...)

Anyways, this was a very good episode IMO. So many mysteries! Too bad so may people dropped it or ignore it. The low score it has certainly doesn't help in attracting new viewers as well...

Oh well...

Memenpu having sinister dreams and it seems that there really is something behind it besides that this plant must also have something in relation to it another thing was that everyone was drunk at all times I hope this resolves itself with every moment of this episode.

This series has gone through some serious peaks and troughs in terms of good episodes, probably more than anything I'm watching this season. Good episode this time around.

What was that OST right at the end, catchy tune...

We have a range of people following our protags at the moment but with only 5 more eps to go I cant see it not being rushed to an ending.

We went from some hilarious shit to depression damn, I think tone shift this episode was done pretty well. Though their slow descent into madness had me laughing nonstop lmao. That dream when it started rewinding is when it started getting serious, that scene was honestly creepy.

I can't tell if Memenpu's dream is a flashback or a premonition, it's probably both. We got a glimpse of what I assume is Memenpu's mother since she's blonde and all. Then who is Urorop hmm, I don't think it's Memenpu's mother unless you know, she dyed her hair.

Interesting PV though, is that a young Zacklettu with Rufus and Gagumber? She's related to Rufus I assume, so some of her little reactions kind of makes sense now if that is the case.

This episode went from comedic hijinks to some seriously dark stuff very quickly, huh?

The way the group slowly begun their fall to madness was pretty amusing, with how much more out of it they were when they started to repeat themselves over and over again before the symptoms of the flower that the group had with them took hold.

Poor Memempu had it rough in this episode. Not only did she have to try and help her father, Zacklettu and Yuri with their recovery, but her repeated dream ended up turning into a nightmare with the hooded figure and Gagumber also appeared, but he was bleeding to death within that nightmare. The fact that the hooded figure was following the group does give the idea that Memempu's dreams shouldn't be easily dismissed. Either way, the group need to stay very cautious from here on out.

I do look forward to next week as we should, by the looks from the preview, see more into Gagumber's past and why he acts the way he does now.

There are only three individuals on their tracks: the couple from last episode and the person from Memempu's dream.
The next episode should be about Gagamba's and Zackletu's past so there's still plenty of time to properly reach a satisfying conclusion.

Great episode! Also a pretty weird one with the drinking scenes over and over again. The hallucinations everyone was having were quite funny but also kind of disturbing. The episode was actually quite scary as well with Memempu's bad dreams.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Damn, they had a hell of a trip.

0:30 Memenpu believes the figure in her dreams to be Urorop.
18:45 the closest colony is Karakara which Gagumber "knows too well".
20:54 the last time she dreams about Urorop, there are baby noises and a woman with blonde hair like her.
21:53 Urorop is nearby, Karakara is nearby.

Piecing this together, Urorop is Memenpu's mother and Gagumber's ex-wife.

I get dreaming Gagumber got hurt threw her off, but how is the message she takes from seeing him get hurt at their destination that she needs to get there faster and should ignore his health? Seems like it should be the total opposite.

I must be getting old and cranky. But I'm finding Memenpu more and more annoying and disrespectful. Have a bad dream of your Dad getting killed at that place? Better force your sick Dad there as fast as possible!! She's got to be the most spoiled person left on the planet.

I liked the atmosphere in general. It was kinda eerie and felt like we're stuck in a time loop where everyone's going insane. If it weren't for Memenpu's existence, I would have said this episode was actually good. But I swear this show has zero self awareness when it comes to her. She was acting selfish. Her dad told her she needs to think about her teammates more at the beginning of the episode, which is true. But no, god forbid she actually learns something. By the end of it, we're meant to sympathize with her cause she's having a nightmare and boohoo she got yelled at when she 100% deserved it.

What the fuck was this episode lmaooo It felt like a legit trip with all the repetition and weirdness, a downward spiral into madness and conflicted feelings, the building through Memenpu's dreams was fun to watch, each dream was more insane than the previous one hahah The cliffhanger is interesting, we have many episodes left so I guess this will mean the separation of Memenpu to the crew, hope that they bring a twist on Memenpu over the top character already

This show definitly works better when it's just being lighthearted and dumb. At the end we start to get a bit more serious and it's like god damn will anybody every listen to Gagumber? Pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.

I feel like this anime is just getting worse but they are making clear and obvious attempts to not make it worse and it's just not working for me.

Like we know Zackletu's brother worked with Gagumba and thats why he works alone but like what can you build off of that?

Each episode just feels like non-sense at this point with bits and piece of seriousness. And it's fine if it comes together or is connected at the end but I dont see it happening in this anime.

Guess we'll wait and see.

WHAT THE F**** WAS THAT??
Man I was laughing the whole episode until Memempu started having the dream backwards, I won't lie I found it scary as hell and then again at the end it only got worse, I'm sure that blonde woman that Memempu was/saw in her dreams is her mother, I'll repeat what I said a few episodes ago: I bet she didn't divorce him, she died!
Amazing episode, glad I didn't watch it last week because now I can see the next one right away.

The part of the episode with the side effects of the red flowers and that cactus was quite funny, however I thought that the insistence of Memenpu to go the place she sees in her dreams as fast as possible did not make any sense. Since she saw her father die in that place her normal reaction should have been not to go at all or to go but not with her father.

And yet, despite seeing him die, she now wants to go more and faster than before in order 'to check'. What on Earth did that mean? She is clearly worried sick about her father and yet it appears that her curiosity still gets the best of her. It is that contradiction between curiosity and worry/fear about her father which makes no sense with her character.

this was an episode full of practically nothing. it was like an ova

the only thing that mattered was 1 minute of her dream

no clue who this weirdo bandage person is. but this little girl is a stupid little brat. she sees how the group is sick but she refuses to get them medical treatment in a colony? refuses to allow them to rest? she attempts to leave the group behind and go out on here own?

what in the actual f is she doing?! i thought she was supposed to be smart?

this was dumb. dropping the whole series down to a 6/10

the father/daughter dynamic was kind of fun early on, but now it's getting old af
