Eh this episode gave me a weird feeling with all the background storytelling.

Didn't really get the "feels" part much although it's kinda nice to learn about Houhou. The girl is so weird that I can't help but want to understand her more. Even back then, it didn't seem like Houhou's personality changed much. I'm sure she feels the burden of having to kill someone.

A flashback episode.
Oops, I guess that's a "wrong" command Houhou received. Now everyone's get the wrong idea about her.

Judging from where we're at story-wise, it seems that this show definitely has at least another cour to go.

No way they can end this in the next episode or two... We'll have some sort of short training regime, likely a small timeskip to start of tournament, and the show will likely end sometime after that. So at least 24-26 episodes I'd think... but they could easily come up with more to tell and run this thing much longer if they wanted to.

This episode was incredibly well done and it was told so beautifully, and it made you sad but wasnt too melodramatic.

That episode was gold. It lowered the hate i had for Houhou in ep.10 and how humans are just ignorant hibitual liars. She kills bandits because you ask her too then say you dont trust her anymnore.... she just killed people for you, that aside i feel like this series should have a higher rating and just got shit on by reviews in the first 2 episodes. You shoudn't review an anime until you finish it. - Arashi

Meh episode. I guess that's why Houhou doesn't kill anyone in this day and age.

Maybe, but to be fair, the synopsis is bad, the first few episode made it hard to get a reading on what kind of show this was going to be, and the action or serious moment followed by a moment that is trying to be funny didn't help any. With that being said, I think this episode was probably the best so far.

Gotta say, this was the best episode of the series.

But the mother was confusing at the end. She ran after her with Pup in the forest, told her not to leave and that she'd find her family...but then changed her mind a few minutes later? Wut?

surprisingly ok backstory, so Houhou's 'old', a bit similar situation as Utawarerumono waking up with memory issues.
All the guys were top naked.

I shed a tear. Seriously this is pretty good and "deep" backstory. Somehow when it comes to flashback they are forced and not very much useful but this one is really great.

The hypocrisy of humans is indeed a thing to witness.

This was easily the best episode so far. And there was almost no Soran in it. Double pack of greatness.

I agree. seems like it could be much better with just some extra budget.
