| Ah man, Kabane and Kon are too adorable to handle but they are so hopeless. They're both so clueless about emotions and expressing themselves but I guess that means they're learning together which will probably bring them closer. Aya had some major personality 180 this ep... and I'm not sure I like it tbh. She had the potential to be a deep character after all she'd been through but within this one episode she's become a flat character archetype. Hopefully future episodes will show that there's more to her. |

THANK YOU i was thinking the exact same thing. i felt super uncomfortable seeing an 8-year-old acting and dressing like that and the personality switch was way too sudden, she's a literal child?? i don't get it she is also a kid who got hurt and forced to work since she was 3 years old (even earlier, she said with 3 she finally controlled her power),she also knew how to annoy the uncle till he gave her tons of books and dresses, so... did you expect her to be as fragile/ignorant as someone who grew up with a normal family? lol her personality switch just came from her finally having freedom to do whatever she wants, instead of being closed in a room with nothing but books and the "half-dead" mother while being forced to do stuff she doesn't want |

| Aya just turned into a kid I absolutely hate...sad. That Kabane and Kon moment, when both of them are dense XD Shiki acting so much like a brother is a fun sight XD If I was in Shiki's place I would have this uncontrollable urge to slap my lil' sister.... That ending tho...our innocent Kabane and poor Inugami XD |
| Imouto is repulsive... should've stayed shy-type. 8yo dressing and acting all grown-up... yuck... |
bakedmonogatari said: Anyone else not fond of Aya's massive personality change? Yeah cause I am. Dunno, the change just doesn't make sense to me. I liked her before, but I kinda hate the development that they did on her. Quite a few people in this thread, yes. Welp. I liked Aya before, as well. Seemed liked her relationship with Shiki was going to be quite wholesome. Wanted to see more of those two together. But now? I hope Aya disappears from the show lmao. What a bizarre character shift. |
| That was quite the change for Aya lol, I love her personality and her catfights with Kon are hilarious. Kon is still best girl though, she is so adorable and her interactions with Kabane are the cutest. |
Orlando_17 said: best episode so far it has feels, comedy and lessons. i ship aya and kabane so bad they look very good together. hope my ship will sail lol u may ship them but actual ship is Kon x kabane Sorofia said: SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE I can't take ir, from now on Kabane and Kon are officially a couple to me. both are clueless about emotions :D |
Sorofia said: Unfortunately, yes :( (This isn't a spoiler) Can't wait to see more interactions from them on season 2! lets hope they make 2nd season so meany animes don't get 2nd season :( this 2are quite alike to in some ways |
| The old lady was able to heal up Kumi. It seems Shiki has no problem with Aya being around. Also, how tf did Aya get such a character change and now she is head over heels for Kabane? Kon got a rival and it seems she has come to realize this feeling as love especially after the interaction with that kemono. However, Aya is a natural at solving problems and Kabane is the most dense person alive since he thought light meant love and said he loves Inugami lol. Kumi buried her mutated off springs with Inugami. Wasn't necessary, but only a mother understands those feelings. |
 |
| I'm just gonna say, Aya's switch took me by surprise, but not in a good way. I know she's a kemono, and also deserves to finally live life, but after years of abuse and negligence her personality switch (in a week no less) seems too sudden, especially for an 8-year-old. Even the fact that she's already thinking of working and how her outfit looks and how she speaks, it all gives off weird vibes, like the author did not want to give Aya a normal childlike experience, but instead just mature her despite her age. Anyway, Kabane x Kon LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| Heartwarming to see Shiki, Aya and Kumi smile and hug after all they went through Kon and Kabane form quite the lovely couple since they're both naive and innocent. Too bad Kabane only loves Inugami |
 |
| welp, this was an unwelcome change. I am not a shipper of anything, so these cliche love triangles just annoy me. There are a ton of different ways they could have executed Aya's personality and clothing change than the way they did. Why not have her dress as a tomboy or something rather than very age-inappropriate wear? Plus, Kon just comes off as bratty and unlikable. Kabane barely knows about love as is, why force him to "choose"? Out of all the animes I've seen, so far this is one of the worst to force in a love triangle, and significantly hurt my enjoyment of the series. I just hope the other 3 episodes aren't like it. |
| This kids love relationship play role remind me about the past. Well Kabane still innocent don't know anything, he love Inugami more than anything lol. Even Kon and Aya is cute, none of them can beat Akira. Aya outfit remind me about Fanny skin in game Mobile Legends lol. |
| Loved that Shiki's mom woke up and now they are finally reunited, I thought they were going for the "actually she's going to be in a coma as long as the author wants so come back for updates like seven arcs later" thing. Now the actual core of the episode was the girls from the main cast, not a fan that it used "romance" as the main vehicle but it was interesting when it came to some of it developement (the kemono being a woman attacking another woman for the sake of her "love" against the Kon vs Aya thing). Aya whole existence up to this point was having her fairytales and her mom in a coma as way to cope with the abuse she was being subjected to, she was supposed to be this "pretty, classy, little girl" but was expected to be mature enough to handle her powers, made to feel like just "a thing" through beatings and isolation so now that she's free I'm not surprised that she has sprinted to the rebellious stage of growing up despite being a 8 years old but her being 8 years old undermine the message since you have this little girl dressed-up in such inappropiate way, It makes sense what she's now so snappy and precocious and wanting to wear that stuff but it is still uncomfortable. I hope she get some developement as the story progress because she's still would need some help and maybe have a little advice about clothes. At least Shiki and Akira were shocked even though that was treated more as a joke. On the other hand, Kon has finally found someone who can care about her and see her for more than just a tool but doesn't have the emotional intelligence to understand that, understandable that hers thoughts are all over the place and she's prone to her instict of just to attack so it was nice to see her try to explain herself and I also liked the scene when she thought she could convice the policeman and didn't work but it wasn't show as a joke on her but a display of the rejection she's suffering from Inari. Liked Ohana and the scene of Kumi with Inugami. Kabane, Kon, Akira and Shiki were all adorable and hilarious during the whole episode. Now Akira's backstory will get the spotlight, I'm intrigued. |
| I feel like it doesn't bode well the fact they made a call back to earlier in the series and I couldn't really remember what they were talking about despite not being that long that i watched it. The series has been okay so far, but nothing spectacular or super memorable. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Man, no quicker way to make me rethink the quality of a series and it's creators sanity than to throw an outfit like that on an 8 year old character. |
| Kabane has literally no clue about anything romance related and acts oblivious since he barely has any emotions left, while Kon is hurting emotionally because she likes him without knowing what's actually happening. Resulting in both of them having no clue what's going on. That's wholesome on another level. |
| Bruh Aya's personality shift really caught us all off guard. I mean I ain't complaining, Its like having an independent sister. Also Kon and Kabane ship is what i would call clueless love XD |
 |
| Go away vile pink creature Kon is what we need. |
| I can't decide who I like more, Kon or Aya lol I think I lean more towards Kon, but Aya is pretty cute too. Although I can understand why people might not like this sudden shift in her character. Seriously she's acting like a completely different character all of a sudden. I guess she did just escape her terrible old life and we're only just seeing the real her for the first time this episode but idk it is a bit odd. That's like my one complaint I guess but eh, I don't really mind it all that much. I liked the interactions between her and Kon. Also a big fan of her outfit <3 Only 3 episodes left! |
