Hmm, the backgrounds of this episode seems to be black and white in the beginning.

We get more snakes and damn, poor Mary ;.; she doesn't deserve that. The song in the episode was alright I guess. But yeah, Mary focused episode but damn, poor Shion...

Good cover of imagination forest.

I hope we'll finally get to see Kuroha next episode.

Great episode, they got the focus right this time and the pacing was good too. Some conversations were held at still images but I guess that's SHAFT's budget for ya.

I didn't expect them to put both Azami and Marry's story into 1 episode and explain a whole lot, though it still feel a bit rushed.

Is the voice of the snake from Mamoru Miyano? I dunno, but if it is then it'd be awesome.

Dat KonoMarry at the end tho.

I'm expecting Kuroha to appear, but not much screentime I guess. Konoha's suffering is making me feel bad for him.

>Still hoping for the Summertime Record episode to troll us all and put some Outer Science in it but meh it not possible i think.

Finally, we get some (well deserved) Marry.

Anyone knows who sung Imagination Forest, though? I feel like I've heard that voice before, but I don't know where from...

Azami, Shion and Marry :( It was nice to see Marry's background all the way from her grandmother. How Azami had to leave was sad.
Bounded by the tower to be safe from humans.
The scene where Marry was found along with the music was quite adorable!

Never thought I would say this. Perfect episode.

That beginning was so emotional. All this time I thought Azami was evil, but come to find out she just wanted to be with her family. That was epic how she used all those powers. Love the the way they did Fantasy Forest. To me it was spot on. The cover song was really nice. A lot of things were reveled. Still confused about August 15. Other than that it was great. Also the animation was beautiful.

A nicely done episode, cover was made well too. I guess only thing that gave me some doubts was the black/white screen tone at the start. By the looks of it we might get Outer Science next week, since we heard Ayano's father do some rather odd explanations to "someone" in the preview. I feel like shit is about to get real, guess we'll wait and see.

Loved the OST at the beginning with Azami and Tsukihiko's story.

Azami is so awesome!!! The way she used all the eye abilities was so nice.

And totally loved the black and white back story. Looked really beautiful and was really sad :( Why did she have to leave T_T Poor Shion :(

F*** the stupid humans who were doing that to Mary!!! Just leave them alone u BASTARDS!!

And was that Kuroha?! Since the snake was voiced by Miyano Mamoru and so is Kuroha. Gave me his vibes at least XD

Mary's story with Seto was short but cute :3

Good ep. And loved the cover. I wonder what nxt ep will be. I know the title but I didn't expect all this in Imaginary forest so they might surprise us ^^;

The ending was really ominous especially with the appearance of Konoha again... I hope if doesn't end up the way I suspect (@_@)

Oh, but the way the did the eye abilities with Azami was awesome, since all the ones that Azami used were the ones that were inherited by the Mekakushi Dan

I hope they cover Ene and Shintarou's situation next episode... but judging from the title (Moon Viewing Recital), it might just be featuring Momo and Hibiya.

Great episode, the more I watch the more I love. I really wish for a longer series where they explain everything in more depth.

Always love the song although I always liked the original. :3

Oh yeah we saw the guy who looked exactly like Seto?

I wish this anime was 2 cour so it could have gotten more into character development and deeper into the story never the less MCA has gotten better each episode. Although there was a couple of hiccups the show is good. If anything is flawed i blame Jin tbh and not Shaft except for the cgi.

Loved this episode, Mary got screentime!
Change from Shinigami Record to Marie No Kakuu Sekai for the ending, a lot of things revealed from just that.
Info dump of things I never knew, I didn't think Shion and Mary went into the daze at all... just assumed Shion died after using her powers. I always thought it was hereditary that Mary got Azami's powers, but it appears not, and that Azami just gave it to her in the daze.

Looks like Seto (Maybe a relative) was one of the people who tried hunting Azami, the one who lived.

Age of the characters, since people may not know... and not sure if spoiler or not, but will tag just in case

Mary is the queen.

Alright episode. Imagination Forest being what got me into Kagepro I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at this episode. It was good, but I just don't feel the same atmosphere that the song/video achieved if that makes sense?
Anyway, it was still a good ep and the insert song was great as usual. I didn't get why they showed Seto with one headphone plugged in before Mary having both though.. Moon-viewing Recital next!

This was a great episode compared to the previous few! 5/5 would watch again.
I still don't know how Shion got pregnant and i don't think they ever explain how either. It seems like these last few episodes are going to be pretty intense. I think with the final episode they're going to do Outer Science the first half and then Summertime Record the second half because they showed a little bit of what looks like Outer Science in the opening so i would assume they would include it somewhere.

Who would've thought that Souzou Forest becomes one of my favourite episodes.

I really liked the BGM and that cover of Souzou Forest.

Shion and Azami's backstory was really sad. I haven't really searched anything about Tsukihiko, but has it been mentioned anywhere whether he died of old age or was there some other cause? And I thing Marry's father hasn't been metioned?

Just wondering why they made the house look like that. Also, didn't really like the fact that those men (or weren't they boys in the novel?) died in the forest instead in front of the house where Seto should've seen them (and still be a BA and approach Marry, despite the possible consequences). Just my preference.


I guess since that snake who talked in this episode is the one who


Konoha's still a cutiepie.

Really great episode so now I'm really waiting to see what they're going to do with Otsukimi Recital.

Ahhh snap! I know where this story is going for sure thanks to the confirmation when Mary was talking at the end of the credits. This was a great episode for the newer audience who doesn't know the original story since its starting to connect the pieces together.

Tbh, Shaft did a solid job fitting a story that was based on a collection of songs in their own way. They told it kinda like how they did the Madoka series where everything doesn't make sense until the last chunk of episodes.

The first half the episode was so beautiful, and kinda freaky too. I guess that's why the story about the monster after the end of the episodes before were important (good thing I didn't skip them, my dumbass brother did and was super confused)

Considering she's been stuck inside that tower, either it was incest, or it was the so called "immaculate conception" I guess... but shush...

hell no, stop that incest, not there was!!!. Shion was not locked up all time in that house, she lived with her father and once died her father, she lived with human, she found a man who loved, and had Mary, most likely that once her husband died, return to her home with her daughter to protect her.

Actually, Tsukihiko would have died when Shion was still a toddler. If Shion had a child as toddler, Mary and her would look the same age, but they don't. I remember reading somewhere that Shion ages every 100 years, and Mary ages every 10 years.

So could the past version of Seto or that Seto look-alike that came to hunt the monster be the father? In which case Seto and Marry would be cousins/siblings?
