| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The power of nullstones huh? Well this episode turned out to be a tense one in terms of storytelling and power. Yui really is no pushover and the goal of trying to bring back Akira almost seems impossible. Seems this penultimate episode serves as a way of building up for the finale too. |

| Another really interesting backstory for Akira and Yui's village, it explains why Yui acts like that, damn their condition is really hardcore :/ So now I guess the anime will finish with Akira being rescued by Kabané in the next episode, well also I hope we'll see Kon one more time before it ends xD |
 |
| The shock on Akira's face that her older brother Yui's treatment would turn out to be a death threat within itself, that's harsh. More backstory between Akira and Yui, of which the Yuki-okono life would define Yui's life to devour him in a corrupt way, despite Akira being his only salvation, and the revelation that Akira was a Yuki-okono instead of the tradition of the Yuki-onna. So that's why Yui led him to Inugami while Yui held back. Even if Akira waits for Yui to come back, there's no waiting for Kabane's part to convince him, as desperate as Akira trying to play a feign of ignorance with Kabane to distract Yui, much less Inari-sama with her usual game of pursuing the lifestone, Yui's ice stone in fact that's connected to Kabane's parents. The impending family revelation of Kabane's that lie with Yui vs. tanuki-kitsune Nobimaru, what a set-up to the finale. |
 |
| Sleepy Akira was so cute. Got to know more about Akira and his brother's past. Besides being cute and fluffy, that sheep plushy is pretty handy. Looks like Akira went along with his brother after lying to Kabane. Inari is also here. Yui seems like a nice guy just a little too overprotective of his brother. I wonder what's with the clan of women. Nobimaru vs. Yui's fight gonna take place in the final episode. Also, seems like Kabane will jump into the show as well. |
 |
| As every episode passes, I feel like Akira is getting more useless |
Friend Request? |
| Kinda feel bad for the brother, the yuuki-onna are honestly she-devils man |
Check out my channel @Criticiza on Youtube to watch my vids ;) |
| If it wasn't already obvious what Yui was made to do in the village then it's made clear now lol. Thou it wasn't hard to get to the conclusion that he'd be used as a sex toy for the entire village full of women. This would have been all fine if Yui was a harem anime mc thou. |
 |
| Pretty decent episode. kabane development hooray! God cringe Akira is cringe. The least likable character in this anime imo. There's been a lack of KON and I don't like it. I know next week is the last episode but I am PRAYING for a season 2. This anime is that good. |

| I don't know if I got the wrong idea but it looked like the village chief's purpose is to reproduce with those woman and keep the village's population going. I felt really bad for Yui. |
 |
| Damn, great episode today. Akira is Yuki-onoko not onno, the village elders betrayed them both. Lots of reveals, but also some really good voice acting on the part of Akira seiyuu during that scene she screams at Kabane on the way out of the ice castle. Really felt the emotion. “What, you thought I was crying?” The finale set up for next week is exciting af. Yui vs Tanuki-kitsune. Can’t wait. Really gonna miss this. |
 |
| So lifestones and nullstones have something to do with Kabanes' parents apparently. |
 |
| Are coerced sex and rape the only strong drama-driving points in this anime? Anyway... as suspected, Yui's motives aren't so antagonic even though he carelessly freeze those three, and Shiki and Inugami might have died if not for Inugami's thermo technique. Still not sure what to think about him. We got some more Inari being... well, the bitch character she is supposed to be. Kabane not buying any of that shit, Akira. |
| The revelation of Yui's past made my stomach turn... no wonder he's so cold and unemotional now. I could feel his panic when he realised that Akira had hit puberty too and it broke my heart when he sacrificed himself to try keep Akira safe. I hope he and Akira can happiness and be together the way they used to be! |
 |
| Well the studio really tone down a lot of stuffs compare to manga to make this serie PG friendly. They even change some dialogues of what Yui said to tone down the overall rating. Idk why they want to avoid to discuss about anything sexaul as much as possible, be it dialogue or screen. I mean the ep 1 is pretty graphical already, so why suddenly holding back? Or maybe they make BD different to match the manga... Who knows.. |
| Damn there was alot of censorship in this episode. In the manga they were using the word sem@n casually tbh and they literally showed bruises on yuis naked body while he was being r@ped by women. However Censor ship was required for that part in all honesty and overall they did a great job at potraying the same and the music oh man it made the experience complete for me the part where yui escapes and was done soo well and tbh want to thank the studio for giving a good adaptation to this story. All in all it was a great episode as always. The next episode is the last damn... |

Ventus_S said: Tbh It was neccessary. You cant use words like sem@n casually in a tv program now can u. Overall they could nt really show yui being assasulted instead made a scene where he was shown drowning in order to tell the same(Tbh that would have caused a uproar)Anyways i am extremely satisfied with the end result of how it was adapted.

| Well, good thing Inugami and Shiki had a good news, there, while Kabane, ofc he couldn't death easily there. Then, ah shit, learning more about Akira's brother past surely was a horrific experience. Already polluted, even at the childhood time, made him uncontrollable and emotionless in the end of the day. Thats why he became so dark, and couldn't handle such an approaching. Then, yeah, stealing that stone sounds pretty understandable idea for getting out of those problem asap. Rip snowy village with all of their desires .... In one side, Akira overcome his whole feeling toward Kabane, in order to tricked Kabane and ofc his brother. Then they got out of those castle, only to met Nobimaru with all of his pride. Well, the fight surely inevitable within them, cause the kitsune had their own purpose at the middle of those family conflict. Poor Akira being useless again, and well, come on, Kabane. Lets kick some ass again! |

| Obvious content was cut from the manga((which isn't a bad thing, cause of course they aren't gonna animate that lmao)), but pretty much the village that the two grew up in is really rough in all honesty. Did feel sorry for them, as when you're in that field, it's a matter of no choice sadly. Along with how things are over there, it'd be rough for any male in that village for sure. |
| I'm disappointed how little Kon has appeared, she has spent more time in the opening than actual episodes |
 |
| That’s so messed up. What a sick village doing that to kids. Couldn’t they at least have waited till they were more matured & grown up?? I’m not saying that would be more justified tho. Damn.....completely messed up. Poor Yui! This entire episode I was just imagining & thinking of Kaito & Ayu voicing & working alongside each other lollllol X) I love Kemono Jihen & how subtly dark the storytelling is. Anyone knows how are manga sales/viewership/chances of a 2nd season? Hope there would be at least an OVA! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Ew, the women raped Yui, didn't they? I feel so bad for him. I hope he gets justice. Also, I hope Nobimaru doesn't kill him. I thought twins went through their puberties together, but Akira seemed to go through his much later than Yui. |
| Well, that backstory of Yui and Akira was pretty messed up... those women actually slept with Yui, against his will and since Akira went through puberty later, Yui send him away before all the women realizing it. Yui seems like a good dude, I just wonder why he's acting the way he does now... Lack of Kon is worrying, probably should read the manga. |
 |
| Why didn’t Akira just talk to his brother about what he is doing and why he is doing it? He recognizes that his brother still cares for him because he gives him everything he asks for, yet he doesn’t tell him that Kabane & Co are his friends and that he doesn’t want them killed. The Yuki villiage flashback helps explain some of Akira’s brother’s actions, but they once again shyed away from getting too dark to keep the age ratings lower. |

 |
| a pretty good ep explaining yui and akira's past, we also got to see more of nobimaru's power. and apparently the yui's past was more dark in the manga? he was r*ped by the whole village because males were rare and they needed to keep the village populated. fucking shit thats awful. |

Yh I think all the rape in characters' bacsktories is really forced and unnecessary tbh. I get that the story wants to be established as dark but it's starting to become an edgelord's wet dream |

| I have regrets that I just binged all the eps in one day, and now have to wait a whole week for the last episode. God this show was brutal. What I don't get is, if men are only born every 100+ years, does this mean they've a long lifespan? They magically survive until a new man is born? |
 |
| I did not expect this anime to get so dark. These kids are going through some traumatic shit for their age. |

They milk the same man ever since they hit puberty until they can't produce semen anymore. That's at least 50~70 years of usefulness. |

| Damn, Yui had a rough backstory with Akira, he nearly suffered death by snu-snu. Jokes aside, that’s pretty rough stuff, and it’s also the second time we’ve seen an element of rape in the story. Akira having the wet dream was a wake-up wall to get him out of there, and good thing Yui did. Looks like this arc is gonna be a 3-parter, and this show also ends next week, I’ve been enjoying it a lot, pretty good show. I’m with everyone else here on wanting more Kon before it ends lol. |
Ventus_S said: They milk the same man ever since they hit puberty until they can't produce semen anymore. That's at least 50~70 years of usefulness. But then, how was the old guy still alive when the twins were kids? And how did the mother of the twins get pregnant if men are only born after 100+ years? Do these people just keep jars of semen frozen about? That'd be a sight, an unpleasant one though. |
|
| Poor Yui :( The twin's village is messed up, and I can see if some viewers think it's too much to have this kind of content twice, especially one after another. I think the mangaka was trying to put in their point across with how humans and kemono can treat each and their own kind badly. Sure it didn't have to be sexual, but I also found it to be an interesting take on yuki-onna (from what I've seen). Traditionally, there are only females and they are more like ghosts than monsters, so I like how there's a village of them and we get an explanation of how the village works. They did censor the backstory, but I wasn't surprised about it. They were able leave enough hints for the audience to understand, although it's still quite subtle for some. The friend I simul-watch this with had no clue, except that they found it weird about how Akira's not actually peeing in bed part was mentioned at all. Anyways, if anyone wants to read the backstory, it's chapter 20. Also obligatory comparison of how Yui actually got the "upper hand" on the conversation about letting Akira leave the village: |
