That was a great end to the episode. I knew it was his head like 10 seconds before the reveal, haha.

Indeed, great episode.
My I was bit surprised when they showed the head, really not expecting that.

I really loved the end to this episode. Obvious or no, it still called up those conflicting emotions that so define this anime. Even as I stared in disgust at the severed head I felt a comfortable warmth in the affection she had shown it. D

Initially, this series didn't do much for me... but the past few episodes have really stepped things up.

Also, yes, even though the ending to this episode was incredibly obvious... it did have a fairly touching aspect... however, I'm confused as to whether her affection was "real".

The ending was trully satisfying in comparison with past 4 episodes.
Does anyone know that soft song plays towards ending?

Can't decide whether or not I like the new-ish pacing and content, if those are the right words, compared to the beginning of the series. But the quirky atmosphere is still intact.

That sure was a great episode, some nice development, I do wonder what that octopus was and why they normally don't eat it... the ending was actually quite sad :/

Well that wasn't a bad episode at all so lets see what's next!

Oh man . . . Saw that coming. A) She works in an industry where tricking men to believe she loves them = more $$$ for her, and B) She EATS people . . . Why did he trust her? Or did he just want so badly to believe her that he didn't care that she would kill him? Hope she dies.

Crap Umeda got fooled right up till the end, but what is with Ooba? Something is up with him I think.

Also I can't forget that beginning, so unexpected and awesome...and creepy.

I can't really say I feel sorry for Umeda. He was being used by her and he had heard her conversation on the phone which definitely showed that she was a spy.

Dat sex drive tho. To put handcuffs on her and still keep going even after she transforms, thats some thirst for real. The anime is kinky and thats a good thing lol.

The colour/mood changes were out of control this episode! :D

Also, I heard a while back that octopus aren't supposed to be eaten when you're pregnant, something about high mercury levels. Might not be true but yeah, could be an indicator that Yuka might be pregnant, and that he's going to kill her/the baby.

Man I have so many things running through my head right now. Kazuma is pretty much confirmed for being half flesh eater though.

Also, liking the comparison this episode. that girl said she was essentially showing restraint by not offering her body, but in the next scene you see Yuka offering her body whilst being restrained, so it's like a comparison of the depth of their relationships, or something. my head is fucked this is way too late in the night to be watching this show XD

I think you are right, nice thoughts. I think this was one of the point of this episode. The other one was to rake the feeling that Yuka still might be betraying Toshihiko afterall.

This series has been spectacular so far - loved these last three episodes. I'm very interested in seeing how Kazuma and Rie's relationship plays out. We've seen an instance of a human-flesh eater relationship where there is shared love (Toshihiko/Yuka and the parents) as well as one unrequited situation where the flesh eater doesn't love the human. I get the feeling we'll see a situation where a flesh eater seeks unrequited love from a human, once Kazuma transforms (and already kind of seen in his failed kiss).

Also, the two mysteries standing out to me right now are 1) Yuka's childhood and relationship with her mother and 2) the organization that Himeko works for. I get the sense that there is a group of flesh eaters out there planning something grand to take out the Kifuuken, and we've already seen in the flashback episode that groups of flesh eaters do live together.

Umeda is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

By the way, what is the significance of the octopus scene?

21 years old and she feeds every ten days? Just her numbers alone would dwarf the most prolific serial killer's. I'm curious as to how the government/media can cover up, or explain, this many murders. Also, the dude's an idiot, and he got what he deserved.

The imagery of desire, as a literal devouring, is interesting and unsettling. But, the way the show has described the incidental flesh eater characters up to this point, they do just seem like serial murderers. I see no reason to feel sympathy for them.

Honestly the weakest ep yet. It was good but it wasn't unique or beautiful like the previous episode (ep 4). You'd expect something like this in a series with a storyline like this. I hope the series gets back on track. Rie "accidentally" got in the secret place in the library, it's such a convenient coincidence. Well all in all, this episode is dedicated to world-building and exposition, which was done in a standard manner.

He really lost his head over her. This is why you should use your head while making decisions. He should've stopped before he was a head.
