This was the best episode so far imo. There was good amount of drama and it was very touching at the end.

An okay episode to end an okay arc if you ask me...I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this show as of now; VO (watching dubbed so I can't speak for original voices) and lines are kind of hit or miss, especially some of the stuff said at the end of this episode. Still, art, as expected, is phenomenal, and the humor is surprisingly good so far despite not being a comedy. Story seems to be shaping up to be good, but it's still early in the series.

I totally predicted she had cut herself in the past right when I saw the ribbon on her arm for the first time

Mmh, this was ok.
I like this show, but I was expecting more subtle supernatural, more between the lines than this much explicit and I dare say banal.
It's sad, because the explanation were not hand in glove with the build up, which was good.
But what lifted up the whole and prevented the whole thing to sink was the great writing and script. This show has a very good script.

And I aso like the strange atmosphere it has, quite nostalgic.

Then of course Kano is able to reconcile with her mom and learns how happy her mom was to see Kano, and that Kano shouldn't feel any sort of guilt at all.
I think that woman was not really Kano's mom, but rather the woman from long ago, who wanted to take Kano with her instead of the child she was not allowed to have. After hearing that Kano was thankful to be alive because of her mom (who also sacrificed her life for her daughter, probably), she realized the importance of what she did for her child, and calmed, and let Kano go, and the feather disappeared, and the bruise disappeared, and Kano let the bandana go, and the game.


Interesting analysis. I was confused as well about the relation between that woman and Kano; all of this helps me appreciate this little story a bit more. Still, yeah, it wasn't nearly as emotional as it could have been.

This is my third attempt at this series. I hope I don't take break again. By the end of this episode, I'm still not hooked. :(

If I hadn't come here to read the comments I would still be confused about the relationship between Kano and the woman.

I HATE THE KANO ARC
Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing!

Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds.

So that was... the Kano arc? Kinda confusing if you ask me. Still don't get what the feather's point is. Or why was Kano affected by it. I'm guessing the feather brings tragedy and dispair to those who touch it, hence the reason why that woman from the past ended up with that destiny. I'm glad Kano at least got a chance to meet her mom and say a final farewell.

LMAO that whole scene between Kano's "mom" and the priest was so overly dramatic and badly voice acted, that I just couldn't take it seriously. It looked like something out of a parody anime.

I was actually enjoying the show until, thanks to all the slice of life scenes, but then Key had to go and be Key, and as always, ruined everything with the contrived and cheesy drama. The rushed pacing made it even worse.

nice ending. Is it really possible to stuff all the routes into a 13 episode package? Will it be rushed to death?

Looks like this wraps up Kano's arc, I guess this means that her weird trance stuff is gone too

Interesting flashbacks/historic connections. If I were Kano and her sister I would be way too scared to enter the shrine and grab the feather xD

Even for Key, the story of their "probably ancestors" mother and child sob story felt too forced and I dont see how it really fits Kano's situation???

Well that's one route down I suppose, the others will probably feel as rushed as this one

That was a pretty quick end to the Kano arc.

As usual this supernatural stuff bounced over my head, sigh. Can't really feel anything for this arc honestly, so yeah next episode please.

Still don’t understand the whole deal of it. Was she possessed by the child’s mother?
Also that was quite short. Episode 4 and the first arc is already concluded. It felt kinda rushed
