Welp, this episode started lighthearted but evolved into more emotional from Kuon's perspective.

Letting the past go isn't always easy. I think she can keep it together mentally for rest of this season. Kuon's a tough girl imo.

Kuon amnesia was great, because I too don't remember much of the last season.

Was necessary that voice change? Feels weird, is like a character that have personality disorder.

They finally decided to actually adapt the beginning of the source this time and it's the closest thing we've had to an actual decent episode. It was paced much better than the rest, even if the pace of the second half was too fast, and looked a lot better even if the character designs were off and it was stiff in movement but it was actually animated this time despite constant corner cutting. It seems like they're retconning more of the last adaptation as well. I wonder how long it'll be until anime only viewers can't keep up.

Loved this episode.
They adapted the proper ending of MoD, 😭
They adapted the Kuon Side of Things.
They did it wonderfully 😭.

My complaints would be one the ending was just a teeny tiny bit fast paced but I had no issues with it. And the other that kuon voice change wasn't as impactful as the VN. I really hoped her eyes would change colour and the voice changer would be similar to the games.
And they Skipped the 'Benawi Kneel' where benawi kneels when kuon takes charge for yamato attack. That took away the impact.

Overall I loved the episode.
Though didn't think the episode will come out today.

Best girl Kuon is finally here, I can't stand watching her cry, I forgot how it was her voice change in the game but I imagine it was way better there, here it lack a bit of impact.

maybe it's just been a while since I played the game, but when Kuon changes her voice, was it always that... drastic?

Idk if it is just me but it really looks like that White Fox has vastly improved on both animation and art-style post Re:Zero S2 Part 2.

The ear-shadings are back, the animation is more fluid, there’s more detail and attention put into backgrounds and character designs look good overall.

The "death" of Haku was too much for Kuon to bear that it made her lost her memories.

Looks like Kuon is also going to act similar to Haku now. What a development.

I loved this episode just like the rest.

The music is one of the greatest strengths of this anime when paired with the scene.
It is successful in evoking those emotions.

Also glad to see our best girl Kuon back in the action and we'll probably see more of her in the coming episodes.

Also for the voice change, it is an important detail going forward.

LOL! Neither do I. I was hoping for some helpful flashbacks.

IKR! I thought her personality split right in front of everyone. I never liked the character, but I didn't think was cray.

Kurou is such a bro. Everyone is babying Kuon but he tells her like it is.

Kuon's voice change always surprises me. It's to show that she takes her role as a princess seriously but it gives the impression that she has a personality disorder which is not the case at all as we see when she thinks.
The fact that Oboro introduces himself as Kuon's father still bothers me so much. It really accentuates his sis-con side of the first game and anime.

Great adaptation, and they're doing great job for connecting Mask of Deception VN Ending and Anime Ending. I don't play Mask of Deception yet but I know that one scene when Kuon go berserk and kill people, then Oboro come and hug her aren't from Mask of Truth, iirc.

Also insert song is good, and very nostalgic. And it seems like I'm slowly starting to like the opening song, banger.

Although I don't know why they covering Tuskur with fog, Is it not time to lift the veil?

Ah, nice... When the first episode gave us Nuedori, I already started hoping for this, and now finally the best Utawarerumono song, Koiyume, has been brought to the anime as well. ^_^

Was that alternate Kuon voice also done by Risa Taneda or someone else?

i would guess that she's actually going to help her friends conquer the country instead of just wiping everyone out. It's kind of a win/win for everyone involved. but yeah that vocal change gave me whiplash.
