| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Erin graduates! And she decides to remain a teacher in the academy. Other than that, pretty much all the students that were in the same year as Erin left the academy to start their own life. And in the next episode, we get to see a new wave of young students, including a young girl interested in Erin.... |

| Erin's going to become a teacher isn't she? Wow, there are quite a few episodes left ^^ ! |
   |
| This episode was a pure Erin episode : well-paced, with moderate but interesting developments, a very atmospheric direction and overall just great. PS: CR's subs are still as horrible as ever. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I had quite the problem with the cgi butterflies. Besides that, I liked the episode, but Erin becoming a teacher seems pretty stagnant for her development, consididering I thought she wanted to be a vet. I guess this is just a means to keep her with Lilan longer. |
| Oh? Erin is to become teacher? |
 |
| Erin's parting with her classmates wasn't very effective because they're played nearly no role and had little screentime since they were introduced, even Yuuyan. Maybe that episode devoted to those two idiots would have been better spent on them instead? |

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this... When she was crying and there were memories playing from the [few] times she was with her classmates, I was finding it hard to really be sad about their - her classmates' - departures. Even Yuuyan. It seemed like she spent far more time with Lilan than she did with any of her classmates. In any case, I still really liked the episode! Lilan's chewing her tail was... interesting? Prepartum depression causing self-harm?! Or... strange cravings? Really wouldn't have thought that human characteristics during pregnancy would be reflected in other animals. |
| She cheated on the exam!!! How else could she have been the valedictorian? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Oh god, I'm going to miss the kids as well. Hope all of them returns soon in the future. Grats on everyone that passed the exam though! Confucius said: She cheated on the exam!!! How else could she have been the valedictorian? Lmao. |
 |
| And they're all gone! Well this sure is some nice development with them all graduating I really wonder what Erin will do next! |
 |
| I actually felt sad when Yuuyan left. I think this is the first time I see an animal giving birth in an anime - with the offspring actually sticking out from the hooha (though it's not show in its full glory lol). |

| Okay . . . So why exactly is Erin becoming a teacher? I thought that she was becoming a Beastinarian, wasn't that the point? Seems so random to have a school centered around Beast Lords when its goal isn't to train you to become someone who looks after Beast Lords. |

So she can naively stay with Lilan for the rest of her life. Something has got to give here soon with evil teacher and the boss Damiyan. |

| Goodbye friends :( Was expecting blood from the goat scene but forgot the rating for this show. |
 |
| I have a feeling, or the general sense that it would be better, that the narrater is in fact an adult Erin and not the mother. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| All in all it's been a beautiful episode filled with partings and new beginnings! Lilan is pregnant, Eku is staying by her side, and now Erin is taking care of the two of them, soon to be three! And Tomura is still gently watching over Erin. Esal, Erin and Tomura are also learning more about the Beast-Lords, about their reproduction, the way they communicate and stuff. But I was a bit worried when Kiriku offered himself to report Lilan's pregnancy to the Queen, I thought he was going to do it in a underhanded way, and only tell Damiya or something, but I'm glad that at least on the suffarce he did what he had to. And now Ial also knows about Lilan's baby, and that's nice because he was reminded of Erin too no doubt. I was playing it safe and saying "maybe" and "probably", but now I will only be surprised if Damiya isn't the one behind the "Saigamul". I wonder how much Kiriku told him about Erin during the night, or if he's keeping her existence to himself so far. Also, Erin did her best with the graduation test, and now she will be a teacher! That scene in which Lilan's baby kicked her belly with Erin there by her side was SO CUTE, and important! I won't forgive anyone that disturbs this precious family, they are so lovely. And then came the parting with her classmates. I'm going to miss Yuuyan a bit, but the others didn't really leave a impression on me, but that sequence with their scenes was still effective, it even made me sorry to see them go! |
 |
| Ofc the duke and Kiriku know each other, Kiriku obviously told him about Erin and her "magic" That's kinda sad when she's parting with her classmates I don't remember most of them though.. mostly only Yuuyan, her crush, and the glasses boy I don't know where did he get the glasses, but it's so out of place in fantasy setting xD Looks like Erin is going to be a teacher So it's bound to have a "troublemaker" or "troubled" students |

| Sad parting with friends by Erin and other graduates, particularly with Yuuyan, who didn't have much presence in the show. But nonetheless that was a tearful goodbye. Too bad Jone wasn't there to witness Erin's moment. Being a teacher is great and very suiting for Erin. |

| The baby is kicking!! Looks like next episodeis gonna be Lilan junior's debut! Bye friends ;_; Omg i wonder if the smell of the Kiba when it died back in episode 6 or so was the smell of it going through estrus, which is how Soyon knew when to kill it (lmao idk why but that smell raally intrigues me, like Soyon was like never say that to anyone and that just made me more curious???) |

| Of the things I like about Kemono no Souja Erin, I enjoy seeing the characters grow and mature over the course of the series. It's amazing to see the characters change ever so slightly in terms of mannerisms and visual design, reflecting that growth. I don't like these flashbacks, but they're helpful in episodes such as these where we can compare how the characters look in the past and present. The flow of time didn't really hit me until Erin reflected on her mother's story about giving birth to her. It's also been a little while since we've had a flashback to Soyon too, which may also demonstrate Erin's mental growth, where she's slowing becoming her own person. Erin still remembers and cherishes her mother, and while the trauma of Soyon's death lingers, it doesn't seem to invade her thoughts on a daily basis. |
| So we say goodbye to school and Erin's friends after 10 episodes, that was shorter than expected. Too bad the side characters had barely any presence in the story, otherwise I would have shared Erin's feelings but for me they were just there. Also the small problem of her maybe not making it for her exams but that is such a flimsy stake considering that Erin will never face any trouble academically. On the other side, the Queen is supportive of Lilan's pregnancy with no hints of negative consequences except for the obvious possibility of Kiriku being under Damiya's order or at very least acquitanced with him. Now we turn to the next page and officially go into Erin's adulthood and see how she will become a teacher. |
| How old is Erin in this episode? It was 4 years in Kazalm, but it is not clear about her age at start. I bet 11 or 12, what means she's 15 or 16 now, what is okay for her current look. Btw, i could not care so much to the departure of Erin's classmates. Besides their short screentime in these 10 episodes,they all are ugly lol |
