Pretty cute episode overall. Glad to see Kud's up! Wafu~ Looks like there were some emotional moments here and there. Dat 'strange ritual' lol. Also, strange tattoo on her.

Oh and the dogs with her expressions as well. Glad to see her finally getting some spotlight :3. Hmm, regarding the ending, damn.

Lol'd @ the muscle pose:

I'm surprised by the lack of posts D:
The scene before the opening was fun. We got to see a imagine spot of Kud and Riki in a maid uniform XD Haru-chin's end of the world skit is done in there although it was significantly watered down.

I guess that body painting ritual was ok, I just find it strange to incorporate that since they're going for a non-romance route. (I'm not against that scene or anything ahaha)

pretty good ep, i wonder if they'll resolve it next ep.

i also really hope they don't turn down the voice acting like in Haruka's route. Kud's VA did some srsly heartbreaking acting during her route.

Yesss they did the Haruka "End of the World" gag in the beginning while cleaning up the shed.
Can't understand anything, as usual. I'll wait for the subs instead of spoiling the raw for myself XD

I knew that this gonna happen in Kud Route, all the meaning of the ritual butchered. The rest of the episode, fells kinda rushed, but knowing that in the VN this take place through a lot of days, i think is understandable.
I am not having high hopes for the end of this route, think its gonna be a LOT less emotional and crude, but only time will say...

(I know, my english is like Kud´s, srry for that in advance)

This was a very good episode. The ritual did not disappoint.

Personally thought the quality has improved since last episodes goofs. Loved the beginning also. Bout time we got some kinniku appreciation :) And they managed to pull off the ritual without the romance quite well. Missed the significance of it but I didn't really care too much of it in the VN.

Very good overall Ritual was nicely done (always thought it was black ink turns out it was just cocoa don't remember if they said that in the VN).

But did they miss anything? besides the romance bits so far it seems to be on track.


Wonder if they'll show what actually happens next week to Poor Kud :(.

Wow that episode went by fast. I would've liked Kud to mention something about the ritual being performed by lovers, since she does seem to be in love with Riki, despite this adaptation making Riki out to be a Tomoya-class oblivious pimp harem master. Very good use of "Song for Friends" during the ritual, which I liked.

The unused track is getting a bit TOO overused at this point...but otherwise I don't have many complaints.

I wonder if the story is going to remain focused on the local riots, or will it just be about a rocket accident?

Oh, and Riki is a maid outfit. Insta 5/5.

The name of the god that the island nation was formed from was written all over so that the people would never forget.

That's why people write their crests or symbols on their bodies during the Festival of Stars.

...

Wait, what? I'm typing it here and it makes even less sense than it did when I saw the episode.

Oh well. There's still a lot to love about this episode.

I wonder, though: since the production staff is taking all of the romance out of the route,

Can't wait for that to rub me the wrong way.

Theres a certain major scene not shown in the PV, so I'd assume it won't be ended next week.

I'm impressed, this is a very well captured episode to the original story. Almost every bit from the Tevua paintings to Kud's mother's rocket launch was flawless. Great episode so far.

The ending was indeed very shocking. Poor Kud...

Good episode. As soon as I heard the idea of them launching into space I knew it wasn't going to end well so the end isn't a huge shock, but it's well executed. Can't wait to see more.

Overall a good episode, so far Kud's route has been adapted pretty well, although the rest of her arc will be the make or break of the route I would assume. I was surprised they got away with the ceremony that way, it was as good as it was going to get. Kind of sad that we didn't get to see Kud drawing on Riki though, but oh well one half is more than good enough. The explanation of her background was quite good too considering it was so condensed.

Things I saw/learned this episode
- Clean muscles are the best apparently
- Man Riki & Kud in maid outfits. (Man more trap Riki)
- Yay! Rin knows more baseball moves
- Also cute Kud is cute (Man that ceremony scene! XD!)



More Trap Riki

One of the best episodes so far? Maybe. I sure got the feels.

When I heard Kud's mom voice, I was like "She sounds just like Ritsuko from Idolm@ster!", and then I remembered that Kud's seiyuu also voice Ritsuko, then making me conclude that both had the same seiyuu.

Do we already know which route comes next? If Rin or Kurugaya (or even if any is coming this season)?
