this episode was such a lovely change of pace from the usual show.
I never knew that Jin could be such a romantic, or even fall in love like that.
he's really a goody guy for letting the love of his life go like that :(
there's a lot of good things that could be said about Jin from this episode.

Maybe its the korean in me, but this is my favorite episode. My reasoning for this: 1) Jin is just a straight up badass while still exposing his soft side. 2) the beetle and mugen is just WIN. 3) The connection between Shino and Jin is done amazingly well that you only wish the two can be together. Great job to the director by having Jin push her off just out of reach.

So Jin is THAT kind of fella lol well the episode went good for me, I really like how they are at every moment, ready to leave the crew for their personal interests, yet they don't...

The action for me is one of the highlights in this show, even the bug fights! lol

Having seen the whole series already, I have to say this episode is the high point of the show. Very moving and also quite subtle,this episode showed a lot of depth. I had expected great things from the next episodes but unfortunately it was downhill from here.


As someone who is rewatching I wouldn't say downhill, they just kept the funny-episodic format until almost the end, just like in Cowboy Bebop.

This episode is my favorite of the whole show. The story is so moving and beautiful. I believe with a bit of editing this episode could be made into a short film that could stand on its own merits.

I have rewatched the series twice now, and I can definitely say that this is my favorite episode. The pain of what both Shino and Jin are going through, (loneliness and forced servitude) are defeated as these two souls find solace in each other. This episode touched me deeply and I hope that Jin and Shino find each other in 3 years.

Definitely one of the more darker episodes. I loved how Jin gets so much screentime this episode. One of the best if not the best episode so far.

Hands down, my favorite episode of the series. Seems to be the same way for a lot of you as well.

My boy Jin fell in love....and it was sad :/ Jin is my character in this Anime, and this episode made me like him more.
Man, women rights back then is just shit.

Awesum episode!!! Poor Jin, I dont know if I ever could fell in love with a prostitute; I guess never...
Scribbly said:
Poor Jin :( Of all the people to fall in love with, someone who was about to become a prostitute :(

Jin FTW... Women's rights also FTW.


He fell in love with her before she became a prostitute, though. It reminded me of Baremoto from Rainbow.

I didn't like it. Jin and Shino. It felt shallow and whatnot. It was a pain watching Jin losing his cool


it's a tad difficult to brand something 'shallow' when you know next to nothing about Jin's motive, personality or past experiences; ultimately basing it on the surface (what you see) is like saying something tastes bad without actually eating it... but i'm sure you knew that

on a side note, i'm actually surprised that Kohana survived; there has been almost no 'happy' endings since the show started, it usually ended in tragedy or stalemate...


Yup.

My man Jin fell in love and got laid! YYYYYYYYEEEEEAAAAA!!! Still sad though. And the few times we've seen Mugen almost get a piece, they end up drugging/poisoning him. Although he still had golden moments this episode.

What a great episode! I felt sad when Jin got beat up because I knew exactly what he was going through. He felt so defeated for the woman. Mugen and his bug fight was badass! I'm really, really enjoying this series now :)

This is my favorite episode so far!
I'm a little happy for Jin. For the first time I've seen in this series Jin actually meets a kind women (Besides Fuu) who:
1. Doesn't drug him,
and 2. Was a kind and caring person

And I also like how episode also follows the question "How far would you go for a loved one?"

I didn't believe jin to be so straightforward to care about a women that much and even sleep with her actually. The episode itself was okay, it got me remembering the courtesan of a nation arc from gintama.

Easily one of the most beautiful episodes of anime I have ever watched
