Kukuri is cuter than I had thought. Kiriha and her has some an amusing character chemistry this week. It's like Kiriha can't keep her hands off of her.

I swear, Kiriha just wants to be spoiled by Kazuya whenever she can lol

This episode turned out pretty well it was funny to see Kukuri chan drop to her own size.
She is funny when she is small.
Anyway the misunderstanding towards the end of the episode was funny.

It was amusing to see Kukuri change into her original size.

Kiriha as always was funny in this episode.

Overall, it was a fun episode.

It's funny to see Kukuri change into her original size. The woman Kazuya saw was his mother. She told him what to do. The misunderstanding towards the end of the episode was amusing.

Pretty sure the the new woman in this episode is Kazuya's mom and that the person we've been seeing in the flashbacks is the same woman

I wanna know more about her and especially her relationship with Kukuri, because if the action from Kazuya in this episode was great, I can't even imagine how his mom was since Kukuri said that she was practically god tier lol

Other than that though, Kukuri was way too adorable in her little girl form lol and I couldn't stop laughing at the water goddess when she shrunk too xD

I always thought the best thing about Tsugumomo was the way it keeps a pretty good balance between action with a solid story and extensive ecchi content that feels a lot more like characters deciding to go things in character, rather than the nonsensical forced garbage we normally get.

Some notable camera position changes toning down the explicit content in this episode, but I'm glad they're trying to keep up that balance in other ways (with all the outfits etc at the end.)

That woman Kazuya encountered was obviously his mom. The ending must have been awkward for Kazuya lol, that weirdo Osamu kind of fucked him over.

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed the action sequences in this episode. Seeing Kazuya's mom was a nice touch and I'm interested to see more about her and her connection to Kiriha. The water goddess as a cute little girl was funny too! Overall I liked the episode and look forward to the next one.
I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!!

Glad his mom intervened to make him realize what he needed to do. Obviously there was some trauma involved in her death that the obi and the goddess are trying to spare him

Well that was quite the episode, we learned a lot.

Kiriha has bond to Kazuya due to her being partnered with his mother at one point and promising her to look after him.

Seems he is getting tha hang of battling now. I thought it was funny how she has now shrunk.

His friend has a very unusual fetish. That was rather awkward, no wonder the deal went down with such a shady look.

Looking forward to the training in the next episode.

Hmm the fight against Kukuri is the toughest fight that Kiriha and Kazuya have faced so far. Guess fighting a god is different.
Hmm do Kiriha's greatest defense can protect against even large scale AOE spells like that eh.
So Kazuha was chosen to become an exorcist then after being chosen by the local god yet Kiriha was against it.
Hmm so Kiriha's ultimate defense spell uses that much of her power eh
Kiriha really wants to protect him from this role eh
Hmm a mysterious girl that appeared in front of him when he should be back there eh
Hmm so Kiriha is bound to a old arrangement which im guessing is the one thats tied to him.

Lol Kiriha's still on about the servant relationship that exists between them even though she treats him more like her master. Hmm so that was Kiriha's true name eh.
Lol being slapped by a sentient obi lol. Now to see what kind if tactics Kazuya has in mind against Kukuri then. Hmm so until this point Kukuri was only using just part of her full strength eh. Lol could have fooled me. Hmm a water wyrm eh. Certainly imposing enough. Hmm using a shield then changing its shape to shred through the head of the wyrm eh. Smart thinking. Hmm have to say that Kazuya really did a great job in his counterattack by smart use of various techniques. But given that he wasn't unable to strike her taking up the mantle of exorcist is the only way i guess.
Still its nice to see the bond between Kiriha and Kazuya though.
Lol Kukuri's true form was a loli eh.
She does look cute though in a childish way lol
Not so threatening now are you lol
Hmm so this battle was all a ruse in order to get Kazuya to actually use Kiriha in battle eh. Given how protective Kiriha is off Kazuha i guess this was the only way.
Lol Kiriha can now just lord over Kukuri now that she's in child form lol

So exorcists are tied to a area's gods power then and because there wasn't one within Kukuri's area her power was starting to dry up then and thus forcing her to this step eh. Yea the ventilation of the shrine sure has improved because there's a hole in the walls lol. Lol Kiriha has shrunk though from using that much of her power. Kiriha and Kazuya's relationship is more like a sibling relationship really.
Hmm so was Kanaka Kazuya's mother then i wonder
Its funny watching Kiriha act like a child though far more than usual lol
Kazuya's sister has the weirdest ideas lol
Hmm so you ended up asking Osamu for old clothes eh
Lol Osamu sure is helpful and cryptic at the same time lol
Hmm the clothes that Osamu provided were of that variety eh lol

good episode!
in the end, they still couldn't defeat Kukuri.
But at least Kazuya unleashed the skill of her mom! The eightfold layered Spiral Weave!
LOL both Kiriha & Kukuri shrank!
LOL! Even Osamu thinks Kazuya is a perv those fetish is wearing loli clothes!
4/5.

This drill, too, does not joke. XD

The clash and the epilogue, are more than satisfactory. Really unexpected appearance of the Kanaka, she is hilarious in his comical jokes. But Kazuya's sister, too, does not joke. XD
It will not be a masterpiece this anime series, but compared to what I had imagined, it's turning out pretty interesting.

Same here, I going as far to say that the current rating for Tsugumomo is kinda unfair.

Loli Kiriha is just a tease, cant wait for the next episode!

This anime is really fun to watch. I hear a lot about the manga. I'm going to accompany you, not to play the game for elements that may be missing during the end of the season. I believe he has offered what I hope so far. Although people may get the wrong impression of it, not really for what it presents, but for the stupid reviews I see here. The amount of bad faith of some commentators is really a show of poverty of spirit. Thankfully, the sequence of the work does not depend on the rough review of some stupid users of that site.

Wow, finally Kazuya becomes usual-hero-hype-MC by using much Kiriha as an Obi form. Thanks to her mom that came out of nowhere while kissing in the bottom of the deep puddles. Lol, was that really needed in the first place? Weird af in that scenery, imho. So, next, the battles gonna be so fierce.

Kazuya, via the previous dream of Mom's become so op, suddenly. He could use some of a new model of attack with Kiriha Obi's form. Its hard. Kukuri not just usual god with shit power. However, Kazuya surely could dealt some pressure. Damn, unexpected, Kukuri succeeded to steal Kiriha's back to her spirit form. No other choice, Kazuya just surrender like a fuckin losser. Was that all? Yeah, sighly. Really? Right!

That shit actually served to awakened the power of Kazuya's controlling skill? Its surprisingly good! Damn, that god shrink as same as Kiriha. And she looked, fine, i guess? Great. Double loli. Its nice! Yeah, ofc Kiriha must battling the whole Kukuri's planned. Shit that loli and her busty lady!

So, thats it, then! The whole drama done with easy paced. It surprisingly served some amount of great action, and its actually really good. And the humour after that was ridiculously awesome execution. Osamu, and his sister, damn that shit really amusing! Ah, the flashback with Ma's really relaxing, with some deepen meaning behind it. Poor Kazuya as the baby, not knowing shit until now. Why that flashback revealed? All that protecting matter, the last request ... Damn, its sad, man, really.

So lets see the next episode of the first assignment as the cursed cleaner, or whatever the fuck was named of it.

Kukuri is adorable! Not that it was a surprise, since she's obviously in the OP but still.

Kazuya's mom seems fun. I like her.

Osamu is a weirdo. What kind of manga is he drawing, and why is that string swimsuit avaible in child sizes?
