Well... maybe just maybe, this will be my favourite anime of the season.

Lot's of new characters appear in this ep. We get a first glance at the emperor... I was expecting him to be a evil looking/feeling character but, no... If I didn't know the story so far I would have considered him to be a good guy ( still can't rule that option out though). On the other hand that Holy Sage is holy only in name, I'm pretty sure ^^.
There's also gonna be a lot more of mysticism involved than I had anticipated it seems, with the appearance of that old lady (that scene at the end makes me think she can get delerious at times lol) and the water people.
Very very interesting! I can't wait for the next episode!

Agreed for the most part, but... I thought that was his older brother, not the Emperor. Chagum is the Second Prince, and they said something about the first prince being ill, so I figured what with all the "I loved seeing him run around" it was his sickly bro.

The part with Chagum watching Balsa get her bandages changed, and the other boy turns the mat -- that was so funny and adorable. With Chagum sneaking peeks afterward, aww. Healthy young princes will do as they do, I suppose. :-p

It was almost sad that Chagum never really got to enjoy all of the ridiculously good food he had the opportunity to eat when he was a prince simply because he was never hungry. Weird to feel bad for someone for never being hungry o.O

Erm, you're mistaken bettynoire. Both the Emperor and Chagum's young brother were shown in this episode. The Emperor was talking with both the star diviners and he gave the order to proceed with goodbye cerimony to Chagum. His brother appeared afterwards and said he was amased how could the order for the cerimony to take place was issued as his young brothers body hadn't yet been found. He was also worried with the mother. Nothing sickly about him :)

I finally got to watch this episode last night. Loved it... I agree with Kayr... this is quickly becoming one of my favorite animes of the season (second only to Darker Than Black, at this point). The animation is just awesome and beautiful... I can't get over how clean and beautiful the animation is... and for ME to notice it, it's good. The characters... well... just awesome...

I'm actually loving that young star diviner (is that what he's called?) right now. I really hope he turns out as good as he seems to be right now.

My daughter and I about died laughing at how this episode ended!!!

"EGG!!!!!!!!" **snicker**

hm I don't recall.. :/ Shuga maybe? Anyway, I still can't figure out if is gonna be evil or good. He seem's a "good" guy but I can't tell for sure...Very enigmatic character ^^

And yeah, that scene at the end was great. She enters the house like she owns it(she prolly does :P) no "hi, how ur doing?" .. and keeps whining about the egg, while everyone is staring in shock and than she points at Shagum and says "EGG" . Crazy old woman...^^ , I loled...^^

Cliché crazy old mystic, but I'm glad her head wasn't cut off. I didn't want this anime to be pointless violence. Overall, this episode wasn't bad. I liked that they introduced us to the prince.

Was okay, introduced some new characters and really brought more of a mystic aspect to the show. "THE EGG," wonderful way to end the episode.

I liked this as well. It was amusing. And the last part was a bit random, when Torogai shouted out "Tamagoooo!" :P

I also like how Chagum isn't an annoying, whiny brat. Heh.

THE EGG~! lol

Now with more information I figure that it really isn't a demon and that the 'Star Readers' are jumping the gun. I bet a drought will happen now.

It was cute with the prince not knowing what hunger felt like.

For the number of people who're saying they like the "old lady", I'm surprised at how few mentioned her name... XD It's TOROGAI! For once I found a name that I remembered in one go. (Mainly because I like torogai nigiri [sushi] and am glad that such an awesome old shaman lady shares a name with one of my favourite types of sushi.)

I can kind of imagine Chagum's older brother being frail and such... They showed him indoors and writing or something. Seems like the "frail academic/bookworm" [stereo]type.

Chuckled a bit when Touya indicated that Chagum shouldn't be gawking at a naked lady's bosom... not that he WAS. But he was looking. XD And sneaking peeks.

Happy to see so many new characters, and they all seem quite interesting... I don't think that the Emperor is evil or a bad guy, but I do think that he may be being manipulated by that priest/sage/"His Holiness" character who seems to have something wicked up his [rather large] sleeves!

When Tohya turned Chagum's mat, that was adorable.

EDIT: 2016.
I also love the chemistry between Tanda and Balsa. Tanda calling her an old woman and treating her wounds nonchalantly makes me grin. OTP.

Haha yeah I agree that was cute ^^ Chagum was so funny when he finally knew what being hungry felt like. Which makes me think, when Balsa asked him if he was hungry in episode 2 I think, he may have been but didn't know? X)

Torogai is interesting, and that thing she was talking to. I also love how easily she "beat" those two guys, or put them to sleep. Sucks to be them. We also get to learn how Balsa knows Tanda, Touya, and Saya, which is nice.

This was a nice relaxing episode after that really intense last episode.

Whoa. Balsa's got some nice titties...

Torogai seems interesting. Seeing her say "egg" over and over again was funny. TAMAGO. TAMAGO. TAMAGO.

Another great episode! So Balsa and Tanda are childhood friends, and he got good at healing others because he's used to treating her, this is nice. Also Touya and Saya are two out of the seven lives that Balsa already saved, it's great to get to know more about them.

That old shaman lady was also so strong! She defeated two of those hunters, and it was like she had no trouble at all, granted, she used magic or something, but it was still so cool! And of course there's prejudice in the empire, the Great Sage knows that the shaman may help, but refuses to accept it out of pride. At least they seem to have a tome that may bring some answers, and Shuga will be the one to decipher it.

Also... TAMAGO! lol
