Milenart said: For the people talking about incest, PLEASE STOP! Amen to that. It's unnerving. Before posting this kind of thing, think of doing such acts to your own family. XD Would you like to do that? No? Well, don't suggest it then. I think Marry's father was probably foreign, some kind of Westerner. I mean, she has blonde hair and an English name in a Japanese country... |

Milenart said: My guess is that after Tsukihiko died from age, Shion lived homeand had her little adventure outside, feel in love with a human, got pregant, lived with him until he died(there is a man besides Shion in the original PV when she is explainig Mary that they are Medusae), and then lived alone with Mary. Sorry for my bad english. And it's just my opinion, I dont think there was incest. Well, considering that: * The moment Azami went outside they were ready to kill her. * Even after all those years, the moment Marry went outside they were also calling her a monster while ready to kill her and Shion just because of the color of her hair. * Both Shion and Marry share the same color of hair. * Shion was made to never use her powers by Azami. So it doesn't look like Shion could stand even a peaceful day outside of the tower, let alone having a happy adventure with another man... Edit: That's why I said this before: DarkMoonWolf said: Considering she's been stuck inside that tower, either it was incest, or it was the so called "immaculate conception" I guess... So let's just say that Marry was born of "immaculate conception" and be done with it... Hell, you can even say that her snake went into the hole for all I care, but no one can deny that Shion was not able to leave the tower without being persecuted to death as a monster while not being able to use any of the Medusa powers she had to protect herself. Basically if she went outside, she would die!! I'm more interested is to know how did they get food and other supplies... even during Azumi time... C'mon were they growing them inside of the tower?? Making them magically appear?? We already know that when she went to the village people would try to kill her so... I guess she didn't went there many times. Even Tsukihiko went there once and was "secured for his own safety". There was no way Shion and Tsukihiko were able to go to the village after that since neither of them could use any powers (Azami told Shion to never use her powers). |

Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| I'm going to assume the Seto we saw in the beginning was an ancestor. It was most likely fanservice, considering Azami used the same ability that is later acquired by Seto. Thank god we finally got to hear evil Mamoru Miyano! I was beginning to think it would never happen. Souzou Forest wasn't exactly my favorite song in the series, but I think this is my favorite episode so far. 10/10 EDIT: Also, did anyone else think of Kano when the rabbit appeared? |

| Great episode, everything was right this time. The moment when Marry and Seto was so touching, one of the best moments of the season. Plot also thickens. That's good for a change. |
  |
| Yay, Marry background! |
DarkMoonWolf said: I'm more interested is to know how did they get food and other supplies... even during Azumi time... In the fourth novel it is said that Marry didn't eat anything at all whilst she lived at the house, only drinking water. I can assume that the same is for Shion and Azami. Because they are not human they do not age the same, nor do they need to eat. ^^ As for Tsuhikiho, even if he were in a family of monsters I'm sure he would have been able to be allowed back into the village from time to time just to be able to get food. Not all of the village must have had a death wish for the Gorgons, and Tsuhikiho must've had family there that would supply him with food, I suppose. |

sheidesu said: WHUUUT. The snake's voice was Miyano Mamoru right? I'm sure. But Haruka's also Mamo-chan... And, Marry's eye color is the same as Haruka's... Hmmmmmmmmmmm... That part also got me confuse since he is voicing the snake... strange.. but anyway, glad to hear the evil voice of Miyano Mamoru again. Last that I heard of his villain voice is from Gatchaman Crowds in which he really voiced perfectly. |
| For me this show seems to beyond the point of redeeming itself. The series so far was just too bad to actually care for any of the characters. And the animation style isn't really helping, either. It's just too poorly done compared to Monogatari and makes it hard to feel any immersion whatsoever. Thus, this whole episode didn't really do anything for me. Not sure if I had liked the story and its twists more if presented in a better fashion, but judging by the anime alone I wasn't really impressed with any of that. Expected a lot more and not seeing how it could get any better from here. I was especially irritated by the monster's / Shion's mother's egoistic decision to leave the two behind. Sure, they were treated badly by other humans but who cares? They wouldn't meet any humans in that newly created world, so that's not really an issue. They could have lived happily ever after, but instead she overreacts and runs off on her own. Probably my biggest issue with this episode's plot. Nah, whatever. Still interested to see how they are planning to wrap things up with the two episodes the have left. |

If anyone knows of any other stories like this monster girl/human guy send me a p.m, Other then that i also found the kid thing unusual. It sucks that this will end in 2 weeks what is the original source material manga or light novel? The source is actually a series of songs, however there are manga and light novel adaptations as well. The manga and light novels are titled "Kagerou Days", whereas the song series is known as the "Kagerou Project". There is also a Drama CD being released soon bundled with a limited edition copy of the "daze" album. |

| Well, it was so very fine to see Azami's (aka Bakemono's) story in the great artwork I utterly love in this anime. And although I didn't really like Marry at first, I think I'll probably regard her more, since she's been through so much. (Who doesn't like characters with painful backgrounds, right?!) This was, thanks to the awesome beginning and kind-of-new Marry/Seto shipp, one of the best episodes of this show. *PS: It was also nice not to continue the portrayal of Azami (aka Bakemono) as a mean character/villain, as I gather they did on the last episode. |
| Holy crap, my mind is swirling. These past couple episodes have been opening my eyes as to why the Kagerou Project has such a huge following. I really need to check it out once this is done. There are some beautiful things going on here. I think Shaft's artistic touch really works for a series like this, too. Marry + Haruka + Evil Snake = O_________________O |

| Damn those eye powers are awesome!!! She used Kano, Kido, Seto, and Momo powers. I wonder what Hibiya, Ene, Shintaro and Konoha's powers are like? What a sad story for Marry. Shion getting killed and same with Azami. Marry has the Queen inside her. Glad Seto came and they became friends. Konoha will see Ene OMG!!! What happen to Shintaro. Wasn't he in the same room with Marry before LTM ep? He's gone? Evil Snake >>> Konoha? In the story: Marry says her friends died? Does that mean everyone in Mekakushi Dan dies??? Who is Kuroha? Cause of everything? Saw this name popped up in my tumblr. Hope the remaining episodes answers my questions |
| Finally we get a good episode. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| I just realized the dubstep OST o.O |
| Good episode, a bit rushed though. Azami's and Marry's story are sad : ( |
 |
| Looks like we finally get to the crux of this story and things are starting to come together. |

| Still a confusing anime, but I guess I get it now. So, it seems that....Marry's grandma is....the Queen of...all the red-eyed powers....or something like that. I couldn't see who the grandpa was though, probably someone not important. :/ Anyways, Marry find Haruka sleeping outside the home, not remembering what he was doing, but he said that he wanted friends. :3 Marry tells him that she wants to be friends with him, and that she knows where all her other friends are. I have a bad feeling about her leaving the house alone with Haruka.... |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Oh I finally caught up. We had a taste of Marry's past, and more importantly of her grandma. Also, I noticed that Seto looked like one of those guys who attacked Azami, could he be a descendent? |
 |
| those snakes :( poor shion and her family i wonder who marry's father is... o.o insert song was great~ |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| I loved the song! So Marry is blood related to Azami, I think she and Seto are cute together. |
 |
| That was actually a pretty enjoyable episode. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |

|
| Why the hell is the ancestor of Seto part of the group that abducted Tsukihiko?-_- Well the story was good. Still expecting Kuroha to appear soon |

Kage15 said: Still expecting Kuroha to appear soon It's pretty much a guarantee now, especially with the Miyano!Snake. |
|
| God that beginning part was so damn sad. To have to leave your entire family just because you were different from the rest of the world. Then to spend eternity in the Haze just to find out that your daughter and grand-daughter had been battered to death by some prejudiced humans. The only thing that never made sense was how in the world Shion got pregnant with Marry? The second half kind of had me on edge. I kept expecting Konoha to turn into Kuroha and do something to Marry there. All in all a great episode that provided the main background story for the Haze Dimension. Can't wait to see the next episode! |

| 10 ep and still all random and incomprehensible. For me (who didn't read the manga), watching this is a pain and 0 satisfaction. 1st and 3rd eps were great so I didn't drop it hoping this will have a story I can follow, but I should have stopped long ago.. |
Akanezora said: Oh I finally caught up. We had a taste of Marry's past, and more importantly of her grandma. Also, I noticed that Seto looked like one of those guys who attacked Azami, could he be a descendent? I think that the guy who Azami removed the mask from and spoke to, was probably Seto's (great?) grandfather. When Azami read his mind, she inadvertently gave him the ability to do the same, which he then somehow passed on to his descendants, which is how Seto got his power. Not 'fact', but I think that theory sounds plausible. InTheOtherWorld said: Kage15 said: Still expecting Kuroha to appear soon It's pretty much a guarantee now, especially with the Miyano!Snake.

Well, you see, the manga isn't really all that important. One of the things that took me off-guard when I read the manga (after starting the anime) is that, they are not exactly the same, because they are not supposed to be. No direct spoilers, but just in case... Overall, I think you should read the manga, just because the anime is likely not going to be able to cover everything that needs to be covered, or it will be rushed. The manga is a quick read, and it is published monthly. |

| This episode was weird and OK. I guess it showed insight about Marry's background and shows how closely the "bake mono" was actually linked to the group. And it showed how close the group was to the actual family of the Monster~ |

MegaToast said: InTheOtherWorld said: Furthermore, what is the nature of the teacher's 'clarifying eyes' ability? It has not been directly stated as to what the Clearing Eyes can do, but as its description is to 'make eyes clear' , it is suggested that this ability will be able to cancel out the abilities of other snakes or eye powers, which is why the Clearing Snake is able to have leverage above the others. This can also be pinpointed from when |

| Note to self, bullets don't work on monsters. Good episode... basically finished up the "preview" story and started a new one... or at least jumped forward to Marry or something. |
  |
| This episode has no doubt become my favorite one yet. Poor Mary, and her poor mother as well. Mary is too cute. |
| So, who's Marry's father? I hope it wasn't Marry's grandfather. >__> Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Best episode by far. 5/5 Btw, does anyone know who sang the cover of Imagination Forest? |
| Fantastic episode. The best yet. |
