Wow, this show manages to have more severe moments than Mahou Shoujo Site as an official horror. Against this background, I even forgot about the bad animation of a bear, lol. I did not understand just one thing, how old is this girl, that her grandmother is trying to ship her with MC?

Also, Sugimoto going "Hina, Hina" when he was eating the miso (poop) cracked me up. A lot of funny interactions between Asirpa and Sugimoto this episode.

Great episode, Asirpa and bears got a spot in my heart.

The comedy is really funny so far, Sugimoto is both a badass and a fun guy.

that bitch slap by the bear is so surprising, it took a while for the man to realize he had to die, holy shit.

considering this is a tv series, i don’t mind with the censored though, that was pretty wild too.

and that’s a legit ainu languange, isn’t ainu speakers in Japan is very few, writing it for manga is one thing, but to speak and pronounce it correctly, you need some expert for that. good thing they care for such detail, even just for a 2-3 minutes of screentime.

Asirpa still cute as usual, when she rubbed the wolf belly and when she sees the bear, her reaction is amusing to watch.

Asirpa and Sugimoto chemistry is very entertaining to watch, good episode.

Asirpa is adorable x3. Those facial expresions tho xD

I liked the background story for the Ainu. A nice way to do world building for this anime.

Hmmm, looks like those soldiers are plotting something.

That end tho.

PD: CG is back... ugly as ever but well, other than that, this anime is really promising

Next episode is called "Grim Reaper"... yay!

Pretty intense episode, laughed hard at the Asirpa baby bear scene.

Also, I like how they addressed the relationship between Sugimoto and Asirpa, I mean, we were all thinking in the back of our heads that it was extremely odd that they ignored any romantic subplot, so it's cool that the granny had to be added in to clear that up. Aspira is probably too young anyway to be considered a romantic interest for Sugimoto, but I have a feeling that in the later episodes/ chapters, as she gets older something might develop gradually. If they don't though, I'm oddly fine with that too.

Hey, it's you again, CGI bear! At least the silver wolf isn't in 3D.

the moment there were talking of 'bear' I was kinda got awed that we have to see 3D bear again and it actually appeared.. :( But thankfully I felt they didn't exposed too many actions in this episode and the info dumps were really interesting.
And that last part was pure badass!! (also again thankfully they censored it that part)

this show continues to grow on me

it has aspects of what i wish drifters was better at ,mixing surprisingly funny bits and raw serious moments well without being to jarring while also dropping History "facts"

can safely say i'm glad it isn't as graphic as the manga damn


everyone's planning their own ways on getting the tattoos now things are getting interesting and the dude better leave our wolf alone !

Love the poop theme Miso is poop. the kids name is poop Hers was grandfather's asshole.
The bear appears and kills people so fast that there is no time to really complain about Everything she was true.
Life is really cheap among the Japanese The Ainu have a reverence for life even though they kill it to survive. Poor baby bear. In two years he is toast

The comedy in this episode was really good, especially when her grandma was asking Sugimoto to take her as his wife because no one will take her hahahaha In this particular moment i loved her reaction and what she said xD
Oh and the names part hahahahaha nice name Asirpa, "grandfather's asshole" hahaha that was way to funny xD

That wolf is so pretty!!!
Oh and, Asirpa's reactions are so funny, the comic moments with both of them are so good.

So those guys are searching for Sugimoto? Do they know that he has a few maps already?

no, they went to the forest searching for ogata's attacker it's explained on the anime but ogata write down "immortal" before he lost consciousness which at first the 7th division though of a joke of ogata saying himself immortal for not dying. which lead to the soldier recognizing sugimoto because of his nickname

at this point they don't know that sugimoto participated on convict hunt

It was really nice to know more about the Ainu and I finally got understand where "Kamuy" came from. It's apparent that Tsurumi will be a mad man, Plus the two at the end of the episode do prove to be interesting. A rather enthralling episode !

I really enjoyed this episode and the animation improved ALOT just by being more consistent. And I love Huci and Osoma, they're so adorable.
I gotta say Tsurumi's voice is stiffer than I imagined. I always imagined a more emotive voice. But this voice does suit him, sounds creepy and psychopathic.

I'm really excited for more now.

in Ainu languange, the word イ (i) is spelled (y) whenever following a vowel (a-i-u-e-o)

instead of アヌ (a-i-nu), it becomes (a-y-nu)
so カム(ka-mu-i) become (ka-mu-y)

it still means the same though.

I like you. I’m a proud fujoshi so obviously I love Yaoi but I can appreciate someone who doesn’t necessarily like it but will deal with it over loli stuff.

This serie has no yaoi (not anywhere in the main cast), bromance =/= yaoi, as much as friendship =/= romance.

Though assuming the 12 episodes won't cover much, the protagonist group won't become very big before this cour ends, so there will be even little bromance.

Going back to Asirpa and Sugimoto, Asirpa needs a father figure after she lost her father, and Sugimoto is focused on helping the wife of his dead friend.
(there was a nice flashback about Sugimoto and the now wife of his best friend in the manga, it was during the interrogation of Shiraishi, but it was cut in the anime)

Given how the episode began, I did not expect such a crude reversal of the narration, even though certain scenes are somehow masked, the crudity of certain images makes an impression. Overall, the episode proved interesting and very entertaining.

I prefer that these images have not been placed in the anime series, even if the narration is quite raw, if they had adapted the same manga, it would have been too much impact on the fruition of the animated work.

Really good episode though. That poor baby bear is in for a treat in the next year or two.

Yeah Grandmother wants Asirpa and Sugimoto to marry lol.

Well, Asirpa did mention that brown bears don't kill humans that enter their den (though, that's just an Ainu belief). Sugimoto might've hid behind the bear to avoid getting shot.

The whole point of Sugimoto the "immortal" is that he is very lucky and survives situations/wounds etc which people think should have killed him. No need to reason about it, like you do not need to reason why One Punch Man wins always with just one punch.

I am just worried that in the end his luck runs out...

Nah, it isn't just luck, it's survival instinct and plain toughness.
With the bear den he was also lucky, as he had no way to know if it would have really worked, but saying he survives everytime just for luck is trivializing his character.

Look at the other cases we saw of him surviving:
-while risking to die from hypothermia, he tried to start a fire by using his rifle cartridges
-when having a bear falling on him, he used his bayonet as a lance, using the ground as support
those quick decisions didn't come from luck
