| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is quite an thrilling episode. We got Sugimoto and Asirpa working together and it shows both of their tracking skills. The bear is back....and so does the CG. Meanwhile, Sugimoto had to deal with a pretty fierce white wolf. I thought that scene was done rather well. Asirpa managed to calm it down like a pro though. The episode also had more noticable character expressions. They need to do more of that XD I still really like the character chemistry between Sugimoto and Asirpa in this show. Hope they can keep it up and it's also interesting to hear more about Asirpa's family. |

There was CG bear for like 2 or 3 minutes. I don't think it's worth to pay attention to it. |
| This ep was better than 1st and 2nd! Tanigaki is soooo cool. We saw Tsurumi, Ushiyama and Hijikata too. And the Ainu kotan! Love this ep so much. Good adaptation. |
| Such a good episode! The ainu kotan (village) was truly a sight for sore eyes, and Huci... Huci is the best! Then we had Tusurmi - some great voice acting on the seiyuu's part and truly a great scene with the finger-biting and all :3 Tsukishima's one line (HAI!) was enough to get me hyped for seeing him again in future episodes QwQ my, we're gonna have so much fun with the 7th Division! On Hijikata's part, I kinda imagined his voice differently when reading the manga but GOD, was it good nevertheless *-* just too little... 30 minutes went by too fast... |

| I can't bear to watch that bear, but that baby bear was cute. What an interesting little village of Ainu we got to see in this episode, that was great. |
 |
| Oof, well that cg bear looks awful as usual. And there was a bit of editing/censorship regarding the dude who got his face ripped off that was disappointing. I dunno, this adaptation just feels off to me in someway so far. Oh well, the Ainu culture stuff was good at least. And the beginning of the osoma/miso runner put a large grin on my face. XD |
| What a thrilling episode. The CG bear is back, but it didn't bother me that much. It completely wrecked those soldiers. One of them is still alive and wants to go after the wolf, Asirpa should have let the wolf kill him smh. It was interesting to learn about her culture. Her previous name is hilarious lol. |
 |
| they deleted the scene where sugimoto eating rabbit's eyeball what is golden kamuy without reaction images of sugimoto's exotic hokkaido food tour?  BlackstarFallen said: What a thrilling episode.

| I must say I didnt have much expectations of this when I first heard about it, but right now it's like the #1 show for me to catch weekly asap, which speaks volumes. Loving the chemistry btwn the 2 mains and balance of action and dialogue. CGI doesn't concern me much, and i LOVE the baby bear! |
 |
| 5 chapters adapted again (half of a volume). A Ending at chapter 59 is more than likely now. But the anime has been well paced. Production values were nice in this episode. Seems like Episode 2 was just a mess up, since it was completely outsourced. Hopefully the blu-rays actually show the face ripping XD Next episode's gonna be pretty awesome!! EDIT: Actually, they adapted 5 chapters (chapters 7-12), plus the last six pages of chapter 13 (the Tsurumi scene). 5/5 |

| Weird instance with bear CG aside, this was the best episode of this show and I loved it. Asirpa's old name is .... "unpleasant". |
| Great episode, Asirpa thinking Sugimoto was eating poop was funny and we finally get to hear Nakata Jouji's beautiful voice lol |
 |
| This show keeps delivering a great mix of comedy and thrill. It was cool to see Asirpas village and lol,they sure have some strange traditions there. Hijikata and Ushiyama joining forces at the end. Definitely an interesting development so far and I'm looking forwars to more. Show still feels fast,but well paced. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was more relaxing episode than the others but keeping the thrill in some scenes. Sugimoto eating poop lmao. 7th division chasing after Sugimoto and Asirpa, they are intelligent in the wild. That bear taking three mans down, damn. That CG used yikes, but the scene was good showing that the wild can be dangerous. The comedy faces on this episode tho. Asirpa can be funny sometimes. Asirpa's hometown is what I was excepting, they have interesting cultures and habits. Hope we find more about them. That soldier is crazy tho, the way they showed that is disgusting damn. |

| Great episode once again, but a war? The bear looked slightly better, but still out of place. I'm disliking the Ainu culture so far. |
| It was nice to learn more about the Ainu tribe and hear their language in this episode, also the ending theme for this is amazing. |
 |
| A perfect 1-to-1 adaptation as always, the show keeps getting better as it goes: the worldbuilding culture between Ainu and the Sisam (much like the rural and urban lifestyle meshing), the language and all is really immersive. Well done, and one of the top tier shows of the Spring season. |
 |
| The poop exchange in the beginning was funny, and we got to learn a little more about Ainu culture in this episode. Please, no more CGI bears. I enjoyed the more dramatic parts of this episode as well, and some new characters showed up. Things seem to be getting more intense, particularly with characters like Tsurumi and Hijikata. I'm excited to see what they're up to. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Another great episode. I've been really enjoying this show, hopefully they manage to end it in a decent way though that might be hard considering the manga is still publishing, season 2 maybe? |
 |
| For those wondering how much more graphic it is in the manga: |
|
| We didn't get much actual plot movement this episode, but the focus on Ainu culture for almost the entire episode made it very interesting regardless: it's probably a long shot, given that only 15 people (apparently) can actually speak the language now, but was that authentic Ainu language that Asirpa's grandmother spoke in? This is turning out to be quite the enjoyable show, and I'm excited to see what it has to offer next week and beyond (assuming Geno Studio can maintain the production values at a decent level ). |
| THE girl that constainly eats brains calls his food disgusting/that it looks like poop..... |
JoeGar96 said: Well, Asirpa did mention that brown bears don't kill humans that enter their den (though, that's just an Ainu belief). Sugimoto might've hid behind the bear to avoid getting shot. Not sure I can believe he jumped in that hole and didn't get attacked or shot, just entering it sounds like a stupid idea xShinigami3125 said: That's the irony XDTHE girl that constainly eats brains calls his food disgusting/that it looks like poop..... |
|
| Great episode again. After looking at the manga pages, they really toned down the gore here. After seeing the manga pages, I'm a lite disappointed that it was toned down like that. The Ainu village and language was pretty interesting. Things are definitely getting more interesting. |
 |
| Her stroking the wolf was just adorable |

Yea I got that I am just writing random comments here while watching the episode so I still kinda felt like pointing that out. |
| well that again a good episode...people die in this series like crazy |
 |
| She was actually called Grandfathers Asshole sure just to keep the daemons away.... I guess someone hated their child |
| Oh, they actually animated the wolf huh, nice. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| BEAR baby bear white wolf I am loving the character of asirpa |
 |
| "I will be his mommy!" |

JoeGar96 said: True. After all, bears not killing human in their den is just a hoax. Oh well, Sugimoto's actions throughout the series aren't always rational. GoldenDevilGamer said: Well, Asirpa did mention that brown bears don't kill humans that enter their den (though, that's just an Ainu belief). Sugimoto might've hid behind the bear to avoid getting shot. [ Yeah I knew that, it was the set up for it, still sounds like a stupid idea, the bear would of been hungry it only lives off its own fat in winter, it had a baby to protect there was barely any room for it to even squeeze past him. Its only being a bit nit picky but I would of just surrendered as well I think if you did that in real life the bear probably would kill you, maybe it would prioritise the shooters first, but your going near its kid. |

This is turning out to be quite the enjoyable show, and I'm excited to see what it has to offer next week and beyond (assuming Geno Studio can maintain the production values at a decent level ). I believe the mangaka has an actual Ainu advisor, so that's how he gets the info for the manga. I think this advisor is also able to speak it and I assume they helped with this episode. But yeah, I would like to know how they did this exactly as well. |
Jesus fucking christ. I hate censorship as much as everyone else, but I don't think it's surprising that they toned that done. xD |
 |
| The animation was better than the 1st and 2nd episodes. I also really like the 1st person view from Tanigaki's perspective during the Retar fight. |
 |
| This episode was hinna hinna. They're doing a good job adapting this actually and I really like the choices of voice actors. They fit the part. And the mad 7th division is now part of the proceedings too. Loved that they kept the bit when the grandmother in Ainu tells Sugimoto to marry his granddaughter since no Ainu man will take her and Asirpa asserts how she's a new woman for a new age. Yeah, they've toned down the graphicness of the violence, but its not as if they made some mild PG stuff. The manga takes it really to the extreme. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Ainu Culture tour continues. Which I do not mind. Different sides going for the gold. Really good VA picks, including some my favourites as baddies. Really interested what direction the series will take. |
| Too bad there's missing Heaven's Door moment, I secretly wanted them to show it somehow, but it was too obvious they won't be able to show it. |
| Did the mustache guy in the end just tried to used the prostitute (i dont know if she was really a prostitute) to hit the old dude? LOL |
| Asirpa is starting to scare the crap out of "Immortal" Sugimoto now. I'm not sure whether to praise Asirpa here or give Sugimoto the look of shame right now. XD Either way Asirpa was a joy to watch in this episode. The wolf came along to save her and rewarded him with a nice belly rub. After that cute scene, she showed Sugimoto her village and explained about the bear ritual and also the names they have until they turn a certain age and get proper names. At first, she was called "grandfather's asshole". Someone must've been drunk when they came up with that one, lol. The CGI bear might've made a small return, but the animation is a good improvement over episodes one and two. Hopefully they'll keep this consistency for the rest of the series. =) Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Good episode, just saw the manga pages from the bear attack as above stated…wow how a cool animation would that have been… I recognised Tsurumi voice immediately…it is the same as Satou from Ajin (great villain) |
