----------------------------------------
Not too much happening again until the second half.

However, the episode was kinda cute imo. I kinda liked Haku's chemistry with this girl:


That archer this episode was kinda interesting though, I want to know more about him.
Hope Kiuru won't be like a jobber..

I guess this is following the same kind of structure of MC slowly becoming more involved with the political landscape like the first. In this case he started as nobody, proved himself in the journey and is now in relatively low position till something awful will happen I guess.

A lot of suspicions with how this episode went too. The whole sequence of events is intriguingly concidental and what Ukon/Oshutoru actually wants is a mystery

Interesting inn name too and people who have seen the first part will already be suspicious that the place is more than meets the eye.

Can't wait for next episode since one of my all time favorite Utawarerumono characters gets back into spotlight.

Despite Haku working overtime this episode still had a very relaxed pace it seems, even another bath scene was included. Well we've met two more of the characters in the op. I don't mind a slow buildup, but I am beginning to wonder how much more of it we've got.

This capital they live in sort of resembles Tenochtitlan of the Aztec Empire.

Liking Haku quite a lot. Despite how he shows reluctance and complains while doing most of his stuff, he still does them and would give in to Rurutie's sparkling eyes and then to spend the day with Atui too.

When I saw that first arrow, I couldn't help but to imagine the arrow hitting Haku from behind, and he would be running around town with his two hands covering it.

Two new characters to join the cast! Secret missions and with Ukon randomly helping people to get some sort of intel. Definitely feels like a preparation for something big that is going to happen.

Wow.. Atui's voice. So cute! :) It's hard to believe she and Albedo (Overlord) are voiced by the same seiyuu, which is Hara Yumi (also voiced Shijou Takane from Idolmaster). So talented!

I've convinced at first that Atui is voiced by Toyosaki Aki instead, haha (Hirasawa Yui - K-On!, Ikeda Chitose - Yuru Yuri, Uiharu Kazari - Toaru Kagaku no Railgun).

I don't like the new girl at all. I found her completely annoying. Now we are 5 episodes in and still no sign of a greater conflict. I have been loving this series up till now but now starting to have doubts.

Seriously I don't see how this relates to the original series at all. Such an extreme difference in atmosphere.

This series actually rearranged some shit to put most of "easy" moments within first half.

There has already been quite abit of build up and foreshadowing.

Why are the anime adding so many baths scenes? I believe this is the second time a bath scene have been added when it didn't exist in the game. Are they going to have a new one every episode?

And Atui being interested in Haku? That's new.
In the game they were more drinking buddies, with no sexual tension at all.

It was a good episode, but this was almost completely anime original based on a scene or two from the game.

Enough with the baths.

Really not a fan of both this and previous episode, so far all those girls introductions feel quite literally like a harem additions. And overall this goofing around, I'm not sure if such series needs such untasteful comedy, especially knowing how things might potentially get grim. I hope we'll get more adventurous episodes like first 3 episodes.

I loved how refreshing Haku and Kuon's reaction to be misunderstood for lovers. Without any shouting or BS like that. Just nai nai. First the "seen naked" naked and now this. Based!

Another chill episode, but I don't like how the introduction of the new girl makes her feel like a harem member more than anything else. I did find it funny how Haku and Kuon didn't even care when the new girl asked about their relationship, but their faces when she said about lovers doing loads of crazy things was pretty priceless.

I'm really excited to see one of the old cast again next week though; hopefully that might see some more progression in the plot outside of developing and introducing the characters.

Soooo... Odd jobs. Are the Yorozuya in town?

New girl have a cute accent. The way she talk just seem so off, it's funny. I also just love how Haku is so indifferent to everything.

The amount of Kuon lately is too damn low! But I guess it's because they are introducing characters.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

What does watching the first series have to do with understanding or enjoying these first five eps? Very little of this 'whole story' has yet to be seen.

If a person is dissatisfied, why should they hold back their complaints? For your benefit? Does it so upset you to know that some people aren't completely satisfied with just a few hot springs and cute animal girls?

A show's content might be defended for being intended as companion piece or extra for fans, but that doesn't automatically absolve it of whatever faults it may have.

I just don't see where this maddened response came from. If you have issue with them dismissing the introductions and romcom as 'a poor plot,' then defend it! Telling people to drop a show if they don't like it is just redundant.

Well Ckan.. I have 4 responses
1. Watching the prequel is needed to gain an insight on who these characters are.. For example, Why is Haku considered a legendary name? Watch the first Season? Who does the silhoutte of the girl in this episode look like? Watch the prequel? and etc... Some of these simple questions could just be answered by watching the prequel.. Also, we got a lot of story introduced with just the introduction of several characters and there is still more to come

2. You know, why we sometimes badmouth people who complain about good shows, because they are the same type of people who scare away potential anime viewers for this show. The studio needs every penny to continue the Utawarerumono Trilogy. It does not offend me, but it agitates me how people complain for the pacing of a 24 episode show...

3. Every show has faults, nothing is made into perfection however, Bias aids to make a show into perfection in someone's eyes. As far as this show goes, the storytelling is great.. The interactions of the characters opens up to the main plot of the show

4.The reason he said to drop if the person doesn't like it is to prevent them from giving a bad score to the series or rambling on this present and future threads about how "bad" this show is.

I have never read bigger bullshit.

This is not a circlejerk thread, this is a discussion thread where anyone can post any sort of opinion they want. I couldn't give less fucks about the score or potential viewers ( implying that people just wander into random episode discussion threads ) and if you do, well go ahead and indulge in your naivety but don't push this nonsense to others. You could instead give some sort of counter argument how building a harem and indulging in uninspired rom-com-ish comedy is so beneficial to this show's story. Though to be honest, I don't think there's anything to say reagarding this

Another more relaxed episode. I found Atui a bit uninteresting but Haku's reactions were gold. Now that most of the cast has been introduced, mabye the plot will get going a bit more. I'm excited to see what's coming.
