This was pretty much the big boss fight of the arc. It's kinda amazing how much Haku's comrades trust in him despite the overwhelming danger in this mission.

Honestly, this episode shows how fearless Haku is and showing that he is capable of being a leader since day one.

If Atuy had answered, what was her wish, would be funny and tragic.

2D monster vs 3D monster.

Kuon Alter.
Time to make an Evil Kermit meme of this.

The ground broke to the heroes fall in a weird dome. One more boss fight trope.

so much cut content in just one scene, they did it really bad
i have no idea why they couldnt cut the op,ed and add 3 free minutes for one of the best scenes in the game

also haku smile in the end felt a lot weaker compare to the VN CG

Oh wow the feels, Haku’s death was beautifully pictured, though slightly shorter than the game scene. Best episode next week, and probably just an epilogue withe the last, best anime of the year!

One of if not the most iconic scenes from the series and I wish I could say, like the rest of this season, it was adapted well. Animation, VA, OST, direction and even character design have been horribly butchered with so little care for what's being adapted. Unless the next two episodes are 11/10s and better than the source then I can safely say that this is the weakest adaptation of the best entry in the series with so little care put into it that it almost matches the likes of Muv-Luv and Tsukihime's anime adaptations. I genuinely feel horrible having had to watch this episode in particular get butchered the way it was.

Haku's goodbye smile is one of my favorite scenes of all time , it is carved on my memory, it is a shame it wasn't as beautiful as it was on the VN, all the lights, colors and contrast with Haku's big smile on the front after all those lines, exchanged and goodbyes, each of them hitting harder and harder.

That haiku's sacrifice didn't have as much as impact as it did in the novel but oh well. They had to rush the scene. Can't have everything.

Tears started to fall when it was Nekone's turn. Poor girl, always losing her brother....

Also, they didn't include Woshis coming back with his underlings.

Then we have Kuon calling on her Divine power...

Maybe it didn't had much impact but still had some of them and yeah they indeed rush anime and skip some . I want to see those scenes in anime when they save Kuon and you know. :)

The squeepig continuum is collapsing as we just registered a 4.92

On a side note to the collapse of the squeeiverse, this is by far one of the most outstanding eps of anime this year!

I thought they would save some money for "endning", but I was mistaken. It was very shameful and very painful to watch. Maybe if i haven't seen how the it was done in VN, I wouldm't be so cross, but I am.

Thought it was pretty bad considering who and how the villain became to be ...
