| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty weird episode.. not much to say about it except Miyu is awesome and Reiha sucks :D |
     |
| that was a very weird and confusing epi. . .but i have 2 admit it was pretty cool... |
 |
| Lots of NOPE in this episode and rather confusing especially that ending was weird yet interesting so let's see what's next. |
 |
| Liked the bizarre city landscapes in this one. So many spiders... |
| It was interesting to see a Shinma that wasn't shy. The Shinma in this episode killed several at a time in public and stirred up a lot of chaos. That ending was definitely bizarre. Good episode.  |
| I get the impression they were going for commentary on Japanese salarymen and the metaphor of spending decades chipping away at solid stone is pretty good but like he story about the yakuza who got a new face, the ideas here are crowded out by Miyu's involvement and end up not amounting to much. |
| I'm still curious as to whether the statue was another Shinma or not. I get the spider Shinma could transform the buildings into sand but animating a statue seem to be pretty different. Reiha also seemed to think it was the Shinma. Considering how Shinmas tend to appear and his link to the statue, I don't see why the statue couldn't be one (except that well, two Shinmas linked to the same person) Anyways, we don't get to know much about this episode's main Shinma since she turns into a non talking spider. Oh well. Also not that this is ever relevant in those kind of animes, but that would probably be the point where the supernatural is exposed for sure. Building just don't turn into sands like that (and it's not like a collapse, their entire mass really turned into sands). |

| As always, a cool but a weird episode. But I still don't understand the link between the spider spirit and the salaryman/statue spirit |
| beware of crappy engrish |
| For the first time in this series I find this episode very confusing, what was the connection between the spider woman shinma, the salary man and the buddha statue shinma? Probably the spider shinma somehow brainwashed the man to build/carve some buildings/statues? But what for, if she destroys them? Also the statue destroyed the underground, presumably killed some people and nobody bats an eye? Not much was explained, things happened, the end. |
| sad! spider just wanted to raise her babies and live something tells me that overworked ole fella ain't coming back this time |

| @Rengee it was implied at some point that the dude died in a fire at the temple he used to be at with that other old man he met at the newspaper stand. so he must have died for real, then the Shinma brought him back from the dead to do her dirty work of building her nest. the statue was apparently at his temple. yeah, it was unclear about exactly how he came back or what happened to him at the end though, open to interpretation |
