| I like this bathing/sake drinking anime |
| Lead me out of the dark,bishounen space Jesus. |
| You'd call this quite the fanservice episode, I think! |
| What the hell? Karura and Touka? I thought this series took place in the distant future? Not that I'm complaining. Nice to see them again. Karura is as hot as ever. Nice dose of nostalgia. Best episode since the first one. |
Mormegil said: What the hell? Karura and Touka? I thought this series took place in the distant future? Yes it does, like 20 Years after the ending of the first. But you're also forgetting the fact that these people have very long-life spans. 20 years is nothing to them. Mich666 said: And Touka appears too, I guess I'm in heaven. Did she become nun? :D Character interactions in this epiosde was pure greatness. Nope, that's just the inn's uniform Mich666 said: Hmm, but now just I have to wonder... what if Haku is really Hakuoro from the old days? Is that even possible? (I hope he's not as that would make his relation with Kuon somehow... problematic :) Not possible at all, as Hakuoro by the ending of the first Is ----On the episode--- Nice touch of using the Game OP as an insert. song.

| oh love this show haku felling dragged epic |
 |
| This was a cool episode showing the background of Kuon. Who would've known that she would be raised by a number of mothers. I wonder if there will be any development for Haku's origins, why he forgot his past etc. I think it would be cool to have background episodes for the other female cores too. |

testamentKAISER said: Are the two woman part of the harem now? :) What the? Dude, they were part of Hakuoro's Harem (Season 1). That is why, they kept saying that Haku looked similar to Hakuoro On a side note:Told you guys that this series will have the characters from S1, it is a trilogy after all lol Anyways, haha Touka and Karura are here. Honestly, these are the two badasses from the first season. Plus, they were in the Hakuoro's Harem which explains Kuon calling all the females in the group, "Mothers or sisters". I wish, we could see Eruru though *sigh* |
| Cute episode ~ |
 |
| So Kuon has many different mothers who raise her? Is nice to learn more about her and have a nice family moment. I definitely like this anime and the setting. Can;t wait to see what happens next. |
testamentKAISER said: Are the two woman part of the harem now? :) They are part of a harem but not Haku's. |
 |
| The concept of the whole harem raising Kuon is hella cute honestly. I'm glad Karura's the one that showed up too, she was easily season 1's best girl and one of the only things that kept me watching. Why'd they change Touka's hair colour though? Her hair matching her ears like it did in season 1 made way more sense... I'm also pretty sure I'll be surprised if we don't get at least two bath scenes every single episode now. Also, is "Tusukuru" the... official way of spelling that? I've never seen it spelt like that before and it doesn't feel right. |

| Glad to see my Touka returns! |
 |
| Can someone tell me the main selling point of this series? I heard the game is a fighting/strategy game. So is the series about its war and strategem or unravelling mysteries? If its the latter I might drop it because I usually don't find mystery/thriller animes to be very rewarding. |
| So is it safe to say that Kuon and Haku willl become more later? I mean right now there have such great chemistry and even other's thought they were a couple so maybe that will happen?? Also, this may be the first anime were the OP/ED are the greatest, I mean I could list/watch them 24/7 5/5 |

One could say that the Utawarerumono series is about an amnesic guy who gradually becomes a military leader who wages war against other countries to protect his people while also uncover more about his past and the truth of why the world is in it's state and the true identity of the gods in the mythologies. |

Cool stuff. Imma finish this. Thanks for reply anyway :D |
| I wonder when they will pick up the pace of the story. Too bad that we didn't get the political background of Yamato originally as someone stated. I'm sure a few of us oldies that saw the old series are going need an ambulance when more of the old cast show up. Especially HER. |

|
| I won't say as someone mentioned her in directly sometime ago in another of the episode forum. I only say that as the pacing is slower than the first one.. but then again it was a mad rush really with that one. Also I like those that played the game to give input whether the scenes we see are accurate or simply made up for the benefit of fan service. Like I already mentioned before the political stand of Yamato and so on was missing as someone mentioned before, don't know who. |
|
| Best episode yet, without a shadow of a doubt. Seeing so many of the old cast again (Karura, Touka, Hakuoro and even Eruruu) was a real dose of nostalgia and really helped make this episode for me. Can't wait to see more of them and to hopefully see some of them (Karura especially) in action all over again. Heck, if the series takes us to Tusukuru, I think that will be the icing on the cake, as it were. |
| Wow, i didn't expect to see Karura and Touka in this anime, that really surprised me in the good way. Karura is hoter even after all those years... |

seeusmile said: I thought there was a big time-gap between the two shows but great to see the old cast again! The people in the world of Utawarerumono have Long-life spans, 20 years gap (between the end of Uta 1 and the start of Uta 2) is nothing to them. |

| This episode is a treat for fans like me of the first Utawarerumono. Enjoyed it like some good Dr pepper. |

| My waifu Touka returns, with even more "filling", f**k yeah! kaimax said: seeusmile said: I thought there was a big time-gap between the two shows but great to see the old cast again!

So what about my boy Oboro, does he looks older now or just as same as usual? Actually someone just spoil me all returning cast (as actual character, not cameo). |
Tokoya said: I doubt it Best episode so far! Return of Karura and Touka, the two best girls from part 1. |

| The pacing of the story, the character interactions are so much better compared to those of season 1. Season 1 started pretty good but then the short arcs killed my enjoyment. And didn't really like the ending either. But at least I am getting to see Kurara and Touka. I hope they show Eruruu and Aruruu too. Since Kuon is raised by six of the seven female characters of season 1, I am assuming that Her personality doesn't match at all but everything else does. Her physical features and even the eye and hair colour match. Also noticed how she blushed when she thought of Eruruu. Does this mean she has special attachment to her? I would have thought Aruruu would have been the one since the younger of the two sisters was actually closer to you-know-who. But who is her father then? Don't tell me... |

Its onscreen in VN and offscreened in anime adaptation but it did happen. In canon |
|
| Nice development in this episode. It was nice to see her bonding and reminiscing her childhood - also very interesting to see that Touka and Karura just doesn't run an inn, but also observing and spying for potential threats against Tuskuru. I hope they will keep this up, and doesn't go back to Haku doing odd jobs. |
| I am so happy happy right now! Need Ambulance!! What if Benawi and Kuroe appears in bath scene, OMGOSH!! 4sum? |

| oh my darlin' Karura is here and Haku can't hold his liquor |
 |
| Not that much has happened and not having seen the original doesn't help that much either. Besides that some provincial plot plot which is nice to see. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
Xawddre said: Ah that was a great episode, just love it when old characters from season 1 make an appearance. Always knew Kuon knew something related to Hakuoro from back then. I'm just going to say that The first anime was WAY biased towards Eruruu. Play the VN, don't bother referring things from the end of the 1st anime, as it omits many things regarding other characters especially one of the ending scenes that leads into Uta 2. |

 |
| I wasn't too interested in the original series before this episode, but now I'm curious. |
| As people have said, the best way to understand the backstory is to play the rpg/strategy eroge that was the source for the first series. The real explanation of who Kuon's mother and father are, and why Karura and Touka (who are by no means the motherly type) have ended up helping to raise Kuon, is found there. The first series of the anime nerfed several important things to force a traditional one girl ending out of a harem game, hence some of the confusion as to who Kuon's biological mother is. Of course if you can't or won't play the VN/game, you can make do with the first series which is pretty good. And for those of us who know who they are, it was really nice to see Karura and Touka again as they were two really appealing members of the Tusukurun court. Don't be fooled by their laid-back demeanour, these are not women you want to get on the bad side of. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Awesome Karura and Touka showed up, so the time line isn't that far off from season one I guess. |
