| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn now that was overgrown centipede like monster they found there... Took some teamwork but it was all good. Good theme song and OST used for this episode as well. Looking forward to more of this show as the world fiction maintains its resourcefulness. I also kinda like the style of the OP song for the season. |

| A far better episode than the first. I didn't feel like it had pacing problem like the first half of episode 1 had, and I thought it did a good job at adapting the game. No bad cuts and the new/changed scenes were good. I liked how Ukon was far more involved in the fight and how much more sudden the death were. And I liked how one can see Aruru and Kamyu in the opening. They are very small though so one can't see them clearly, but one can see Aruru's hair and Kamyu's black wings. |
| Still lovin' the overall atmosphere as we head into a more action heavy outing. Bug exterminatin's our theme this week. Luckily Steve McQueen lent Haku and Kuon The Blob to take care of things. :D Notably, said curse seemed to flee at the sight of Haku. Loved Kuon saving Haku too, they're so cute together. And Haku's a math whiz! Who knew? :D |
| Aaah...what a good episode. I'm in love with this series |
| Another great episode for this series. It's definitely made a very strong start, as I had expected. OP and ED are good now that we've heard them, but I do prefer the song from the game PV from way, way back to the OP that we actually got. I'm interested in the fact that the Curse recognised Haku, but I don't know if that will come up again at any point or not. Well, with this series being what it is, I'd be pretty shocked if it didn't. I'm also interested in that fan that Kuon gave to Haku and the fact that she called it a lucky charm. I wonder if Eruru or someone passed it down through generations until it eventually reached her? Although, maybe it's just a different fan and I'm thinking too much into it. Also, was that Hakuoro in the OP, or was that just Haku in a mask and different clothes? It's surprisingly hard to tell the difference between the two. |
| Oh come on, how could they make a crappy jpop opening. First Utawarerumono had really good and unique opening and ending, this is the same crap you hear in every anime. Even Suara couldn't make it sound good. That comic relieve character was pretty horrible as well. This episode was just bad. It was a huge disappointment after a really good pilot. Mod Edit: spoiler removed. |

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Not a bad fantasy setting we have got here ... teamwork was cool. But that Mathematics speed, Haku is another genius I guess :> I am more interested why did the tatari/curse go away after seeing Haku's face .. I think that would be explained or broadened after some episodes, can't wait. |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| That magic casting sequence... I need to see more of those! xD Ukon being able to destroy terrain just like that, it was cool seeing some action this episode, though the gigiri attack was quite sudden. Haku has the brains and Ukon along with Kuon has the physical ability, not often do we get to see a guy getting carried like that! Using the curse like that, that blob like entity... and wow, Haku is building up his physical stamina already. Ukon is becoming quite the interesting character himself, being this strong and having a bunch of people with him too does make him stand out in a place like this. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| It felt very irresponsible of both Haku and Kuon of not telling them of the boro-gigiri they encountered in more detail. Haku can be excused since he assumed that they would be able to handle the boro-gigiri since he had never seen the smaller ones before - and they rest of the group acted like they would be able to handle it. Kuon, on the other hand. could've told the leader of the boro-gigiri they had escaped from. They might have better prepared if she did, and perhaps, avoided with less casualties. |

Kuon didn't know about the boro-giri, when she arrived to save Haku, it had already melted away. In the game, Haku misunderstood and didn't know about the difference between boro and ordinary giri, but when the group understood that Haku meant that he had been attacked by the Boro, it was too late. |
| "Ok, everyone go back to the village, except for you three misfits, you're staying here with me to serve as bait." What was the brilliant plan? Hope the plot armor kicked in and saved you? I got kinda excited when the first guy died but then that excitement kinda died off as soon as they sent everyone away, eh. And I think that dude just splitted a mountain, wut. I'm liking this quite a bit, hope they actually animate fights later on, and if MC is going to think of a plan to win everytime I seriously hope they put some thought into his plans. |
 |
| Pretty nice OP we got there and it raises a lot of interesting questions for me too For a scholar that new dude is pretty stupid lol but alas, he showed that he knows his shit and quite frankly is really funny so I liked him a lot espcially because of that magic sequence scene xD The leader guy is pretty badass though and I loved seeing his fight scenes and I really love his personality. The ending scene was really nice too and it made me smile to see how solemn he and Haku were about the deaths of their comrades Those advanced mathematical skills by Haku showed that he is really intelligent which impressed me a lot and I also liked how he showed that he has decent strategic skills as well as how he got the same iconic type of weapon as Hakuoro but alas he's still unique personality wise and I hope that part of him never changes lol Kuon was great as usual too....Overall it was a great episode and even though the gore wasn't as detailed as I was hoping it would be, it was still good nonetheless |

| Interesting to see Haku being a genius too just like Hakuoro was. Nice to see a strategist MC who is not flawless and who can't fight that well but sure as hell can lead and direct others. Also getting Hakuoro's fan. Wonder why Kuon would even have something like that in her possession in the first place. Wouldn't someone like Eruru want to keep it as a memento or something? Then again, Kuon seems to know more than she is telling anyway. Also interesting that the slime backed away after noticing Haku. Surprised it did not attack them in rage considering everything. Overall this had even more bits and pieces only understandable with the first game/anime plot in mind. Can't wait to see where this goes. I guess the shit will start to get real-er and real-er when they hit the capital and get involved in some shit just like it always goes.

| another great episode, good |
| :3 |
| Haku gets the metal fan~ I have a feeling he was some sort of scientist before he lost his memories. Also Kuon can seriously kick ass with her athletic abilities. |
 |
| I can so much more appreciate the series after seeing the old adaptation. The metal fan enter the play! I really wonder whatever this series will also turn into series that resolves around countries and wars. So far however the series is developing the way I originally though that the first series would develop while seeing the first episodes. BTW is Kuon a ninja? She was jumping on those rocks while rescuing Haku like a boss. Ukon also has some OP skills and he is also generally very good character. All in All I am still in love with this anime setting and atmosphere, and I am really wondering how will this series develop. It's good that it's 25 episodes series just like the old version. |
| So Haku is a genius. Nice! Loving his character quite a lot... And he's surrounded by mystery. Like how the Curse looked at him then decided to leave. Lol'd at how he reacted to Kuon having a herb that doesn't sting XD Kuon was so cute and useful throughout. I'm loving her more and more <3 Her "Kana" is kawaii And Ukon is awesome. |
 |
| *BANG!!!* HEAD GONE. DAMMINT!! I didn't see that one coming. i thought there will be no brutal scene in this anime. and i didn't thought there will be some action too. Great. i like this one. The op was so nice too. Love it |
 |
| Can't help but wonder if Still a bit bitter about the sequel being released exclusively on PS3/4/V and not on PC. |

|
| So I am pretty sure that was Hakuoro's fan that Haku was given. Now lets see him use it even half as well as Hakuoro used it. |

|
| The animation is awesome but the first "season" had a better start, also that dude just SPLIT A MOUNTAIN! Also Haku is waaay too weak in this show compared to the other one. Better episode than the first. Better pacing and very funny. |
Read Toriko! |
| Good ep, love the overall atmosphere of this series. Not so keen on the CGI though, but what can you do :P OP/ED were both nice too. |

| I hate centipedes D: I think I'm going to have nightmares. But I really enjoyed this episode. I think I like Kuon more than Eruru. This will definitely be one of my favorite shows this season. |
| The OP & ED i love it! Enjoy this episode. The action are pretty good. Look like next they began the journey to capital city. |
 |
| Man, what a great episode. Really liking this show, Kuon and other characters so far. That Ukon's also a pretty strong one. Great music. Looking forward to more! |
  |
| Another good episode. That mountain was like more than 5 miles away. I don't know how she ran there and back so fast. I hope they develop a nice relationship. |
 |
| I still don't know. The only thing that was good this time was that grave scene in the end. Everything else was just... pretty average. And why do they put in such an annoying character as ... is beyond me. He is basically Jar Jar Binks of this anime. Really don't know why they are going for such comedy relief characters so early in the game. Well, I like the music and OP/ED at least. But the plot was pretty subpar this time, it was essentially just enemy of the week episode. I really miss believability and seriousness of the previous series. Whatever was that stupid rock-cutting slash? o_O Don't think I need to say how I also miss first Umono characters, just about everyone there was interesting, distinctive and lovable, be it Oboro, Benawi, Touka, Karura, Urotoryi or Yuzuha. Here... I really don't know. It almost seems they are trying too hard to make them just usual archetypes (save for MC perhaps). This series really lacks some "magic" of the previous one. There are some good elements but it's way too bland overall. Even death of that soldier was just shocking... but his character wasn't even fleshed out well so there was almost no emotional impact in the end. I understand they want to show how merciless this world is but thiis maybe wasn't the right way to do it. They really should tone done the moe and comedy and remember why the first series (or the game) truly shined - it was mainly because of well-thought story, clever use of battle tactics and interesting character stories. I really hope that this anime dynamic changes when they reach the capital else this would be pretty agonizing to watch. |

Wow so far my favorite anime of the season. Really takes me back to the "prequel". And Haku receiving that fan we all know and love ヽ(･∀･)ﾉ ..... Aw the memories... |
| Dayyum I'm loving this series already :D |
Tokoya said: adapatations are not supposed to be carbon copies of source materials and until the anime community in general can accept that and judge an anime based on what it presents and how they handle every episode, these threads will continue to be filled with hate posts by purists |
| I love the OP and ED... Ukon is such a badass though, spliting mountains like a mf. Haku's expressions are really funny and this episode shows he slowly matures as an MC while Kuon continues to be an action girl. Maroro was very funny and I can't wait til they head to the capital the next episode. I think Kuon is desperate to find Haku a job. Maybe Kuon's giving that fan to Haku because he reminds her of Hakuoro? Meh. Spoiler about Kuon. |

| This is an awesome anime, I watched the first season all in one night.. And what actually impresses me is that we are given on what this world is like and that there are others like the original Haku.. Anyways, Kuon is cute haha XD |
| I'm getting goosebumps from how good this is becoming >.< Haku is the best. "Don't screw up...seriously don't" Also the scene where that guy died right in front of Haku...i wasn't expecting that. I was just there admiring the looks of an average looking dude and thinking how sweet he was and then BAM man dies...T-T it was nice they had the memorial thing for him at the end. |

| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
