| That episode was trippy |
| wait... what? Screenwriter oversmoked. |
 |
| They should have just continued ep 21 and not show us this joke |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Well I'd actually compare this episode to the anime that's been airing right now called mayoiga lol. Hallucinating idiots. |
 |
| Eh, I thought it was okay as a "let's fuck around" episode. 3/5 |

| I didn't like this at all. The ending song being interrupted to continue this zombie thing sucked too lol. The only clever thing was the reference to WWII at the end like others have pointed out. But, that's it. |
| seems i am the only one who liked this episode,not the greatest but not the worst,like someone said before it has a hidden meaning about japan's involvement in WW2,also ogami and diagoro were there. |
 |
| This episode literally had me quaking in my boots. It was terrifying |
JohnBurden said: If you don't read into this stuff and see these small details, it just seems like an unsettling homage to zombie movies. So, I'm glad this was here.Hey guys, read this: http://www.spookhouse.net/angelynx/comics/characters-episode-22.html Pay special attention to the commentary section at the end. It might not be what the creator of the episode wanted o convey, but it certainly is an interesting perspective. |
| What the hell did I just watch!? XD |

| Almost fell asleep but it was weird. |
  |
| fuck this might be my fav episode so far. such a dense creepy atmosphere. |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| I like how Champloo is indeed a "champuru" of different elements, but kind of off putting to have this episode after Sara's death. |
 |
| Wow that was really poorly placed in the series. Its episode fucking 22 and this comes directly after a really important seeming part of the series. I could have done completely without that episode, and it kind of has an impact on how I feel about the show overall - Shinichiro Watanabe likes to be outside the box, but that felt like a slap in the face to the audience more than any sort of creative diversion from the plot. It wasnt even that interesting by itself, like nothing happened the were just mining and seeing some zombies? Why was this even made? I understand its supposed to be a mushroom trip, but let me tell you, tripping isnt nearly as boring as that was. Shinichiro Watanabe (I just love to say his full name) also had a shrooms moment in Cowboy Bebop - maybe he just wants everyone to know how groovy and hip he is, but nobody gives a shit |

| Well.. that was a very weird episode.. Did Gandhi just nuke them? God damn it Gandhi xD ED is scary :0 |
"Signature removed"   |
| Thriller, thriller night~ Well... pretty terrible episode tbh, it sucks because I'm still doubting between a 6 and a 7 score and with this episode so close to the end it really gives me a hard time to increase the rating. |
 |
| What the nuts was that about? A load of zombies who don't realise they've been dead for 500 years, trying to find treasure :/ Ermmm okay then. Considering it's so close to the end I expected important episodes to the story, not filler like this that's just random as hell. |
 |
| Awful episode even worse than the Graffiti episode. As others have said I could have done without this whole episode tbh. It offered nothing, it wasn't funny or interesting. It's also an odd place in the series especially after such an awesome arc. |
| Were that Ittou and Daigoro at the end? What the fuck. |
 |
| God damn it! I was shocked at the end of the ending. That was scary. |
| This was a weird episode. Didn't liked. |
| Crazy episode out of nowhere just like a strand of hair. |
| This reminds me of that one filler episode in Cowboy Bebop... |
| L can play the biwa? ;) |
 |
| I guess even the best anime can have one shitty episode |
| I think it's the first time I noticed a "End" sign at the end of the episode. |
 |
| The symbolism, the refferences, when did this turned out a tehxnolyze episode? Didn't enjoy it. |
    |
| Dafuq. This episode was weird af. Were they on drugs or something? |
| I don't care anymore, this show is lame. |
| Weird, too weird, I didn't like it. That guy appearing after the ending was funny though. |
 |
| It's 4 am and right after I watched the episode with Sara's death which I found amazing, I was like "Hey, time to watch one more episode and sleep!" and god did I regret that cuz this episode is LITERALLY GARBAGE. Gah, why did they think this was a good idea? It was so boring and unfunny and pointless and out of place, literally a waste of time tbh. Like, zombies of all things? Seriously? Yall say it's something about WWII and has deeper meaning or whatever but it sure as hell was handled poorly. I closed the tab right when the music started changing in the ending. Idk what they were gonna do, I'll see whatever it is at daytime at least lol. |

| Felt like a pointless episode, much like a filler |
 |
| But Fuu didn't eat any mushrooms...how? |

| I'm surprised by the response to this episode. While it was certainly jarring, I still appreciate how experimental it is when compared to the rest of this show. In particular, I enjoyed the desaturated colour palette and dreary musical score, since both really contributed to the bleak themes of this episode. That creepypasta moment in the ed was also pretty great too. The 'twist' (if you could even call it that) was apparent from the get-go, though I enjoyed watching it develop. The art and animation was also pretty gorgeous too, since it was one of the only times where it remained consistent. While this isn't the best episode by a long shot, it's certainly the most memorable. With regards to the 'why is Fuu hallucinating with Jin and Mugen' question, I'm pretty sure some hallucinogenic mushrooms can impact people through their spores. That would explain why Mugen and Jin were significantly worse off then Fuu. It's also possible that this is set in either Jin or Mugen's mind, since it's impossible for them to all share the same hallucination. |
