I had a feeling that the girl Alka met once before might be killed like most of the supporting characters

The action felt meh tbh. Hazuki was still aggressive as usual with her goals. Poor Alka though. I thought she almost would of died there. The way they want her to be cleaned for her impurity was awful.

Oh Mori is back, and she has change a lot..........from a hottie to a...........conservative girl. Too bad, she ended up mad.

So, I wonder if the guy that Alka before killed is related to Elle?

This episode was interesting, I thought alka was going to die for a while there. I absolutely hate cults.

Probably her husband, but anyone can gather that much.

Moshiri's village head Morii appears again.
Looks like she has joined a cult which cleanses people of their impurities.

Hazuki is still upset about Karen being supportive to others and getting in her way. Haha.
Someone should take her down already. So annoying.. -.-

Cleansing ceremony doesn't go well, thanks to the little wanderer Ron.
I guess Aruka was a bit nice for not killing off their leader when she had the chance.

Morii goes psycho. Karen saves Aruka once again.
It is revealed that Aruka killed a certain someone related to Karen..

Average episode. Looks like there'll be a good battle next week.

This is almost like episode 5. We got people with their sets of beliefs that they claimed will improve the world, yet they're just more hypocritical claims that don't change anything.

We thought Morri would fare off well in the new surrounding, but she's sunk deeper with her mind poisoned.

The whole invitation was just a setup for Alka's death ritual by Morri's own hands. Merchant Lon seems to know the agenda of these cults for long.

And yea, Nagato Pain's motto.

This show just doesn't seem to be getting any better. Another episode goes by, another person in the show I want to see die, doesn't--"Mother" in this episode.

The hypocrisy of "Mother" makes her so full of shit, it's nauseating to just see her face.

Why is this show so bad (also reflected with the 6 average rating on MAL)? The only reason why it's worth continuing watching, is out of conviction from starting in the first place...that, and maybe boobs.

The cult group was weird, would've liked a bit more on their pasts but not really needed, weakest episode so far for me. I thought what with all those flowers they'd use toxins or something to poison Aruka not sound. Karen popped up again, really want to know more about her.

Aw... thought Mori would have become a more skillful fighter to avenge her tribe but... well I am shocked at the turn of events lol!

I guess I can see her character turning out the way she did. Being weak, yet being a tribal leader... seeing Alka who is very powerful. In other animes those really strong characters usually impart some skill or knowledge to those weaker but Alka isn't really the type to do so. Which leaves Mori just there to struggle. But then again if she was the heroine of this story then things may have turned out differently hehe.

The Mother was disturbing!! They weren't talking about forgiveness at all when they still wished death on others. It was very twisted.... In the medical fields, some people implement sound therapy as a way to help bring balance in the mind, body, spirit health model.

That bell I imagine would pop anyone's ear drums LOL. And it seemed Mori succumbed to the bell of the nasty Mother lol.... Cute episode.... I love Karen... Makes me wonder if she was an assassin herself.

Are we ever going to get a story? So far its really just a random collection of OVAs basically.

Also who is this proprietress lady who seems to know everything the split second it happens no matter where it is.

I'm getting the vibe from the end of the show that Alka killed off that proprietress lady's lover or something. That's essentially how she knows so much about Alka. But what exactly is her intention with Alka anyway? To help her? to kill her later on? To sell her off to Jin Varrel?

And people said the girl from the 1st episode would never appear again lol.. but man she's hysterical though I can understand why she feels that way. This is the first episode that I feel truly is a filler except for the end. Alka probably killed the inn proprietress' father/lover but she also needs Alka alive. Sucks that we still need to wait longer for the reveal.

Next ep seems like we'll get some Alka vs Jin action, it's about time they meet again.

It wasn't that bad. I can't expect much from this anime.

I wanna ask tho - who's Mother's (Mira's) seiyuu? I like the voice and it sounds familiar.

Slightly interested with a return character, but she joined a crazy cult. The only meaningful thing was Alka and the innkeeper at the very end.

Well, I would not say bad, history has proven all too linear, but with today's episode, it seems that there have been unnecessary the various characters seen so far.
Mori seeks revenge and maybe even Karen.
Not bad construction of the story, too bad Alka, the plot still does not address the problem.
Linear? Better than a convoluted story that in the end is not satisfactorily explained, it goes smoothly without smashing your brain.
I wish there were more characters in this story, oh well!
Drawings and animations sufficient.

I don't understand why Karen tells Morii that revenge is silly, yet isn't that the reason why Alka is doing what she is doing. Makes no sense unless she is saying Morii's way of revenge is silly. Yet she helps her husband's killer get revenge. I'd rather have had Morii die in the first episode instead of like this, or went with alka in the beginning. I doubt Morii will show up later. Another episode wasted on a insignificant character.

I feel like an idiot for not remembering Morii because I keep hearing peeps saying Morii "is back", either way, considering the pacing of the episode, I could understand why everything was the way it was.

Not a particularly good episode because I felt it was lacking and for the longest, I had no idea why Morii was so obsessed with revenge (at least, not until Karen came along).

I'm gonna have to give this a good ol' rewatch to find out who Morii was but maybe after I get finished with this

Technically it improved. Still just six combined stars over the last four episodes. They bring back an old character just to have her join a cult. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight... MC is somehow powerless to their cult ways. Ok... She gets saved just in time by the blonde innkeeper and that's pretty much the episode. Only reason this episode got a star is because the MC showed up and showed signs of life. She was far from great this episode, but she wasn't a dead pulse. An improvement. Through seven episodes, my rating is 5.429/10. Now a good three points lower than it was when the slide first started.
