Huh, a circus but yeah, those performers aren't just ordinary people.

The little girl unleashing her powers this episode was kinda unexpected. Man, this show has some wacky characters.

This episode was pretty nostalgic and good. i love how they use the retro concepts and characters but also keeping it modern at the same time.
Best episode yet, imo.

I don't know, maybe is something about pacing, maybe about lack of detailes, but it this whole thing feels just off. And cause of this I just can't get invested enough in characters. I wish they gave a bit more time for characters and linked episodes a bit better.

a great episode, very touching. looking forward to the next one. that new boss pisses me off! Bem shouldn't have saved him in the previous episode. I wonder how Summers is gonna handle things from now on.

Incredibly predictable episode and served very little purpose other than to show that the man in charge is scum and humans vs monsters isn't so black and white. While important aspects the episode overall was pointless and only really slowed down the overall narrative. I'm trying to stick with this show because I see the potential but nothing is really happening.

Damn it! It was an episode with a very sad ending, it broke my heart. It has been one of the best episodes so far.
I hate the damn bastard who is in charge of the police, he has no scruples. Bem would have let him die in the previous episode.
Poor Val, was a great person, died like a hero trying to protect Harazy. Bela couldn't do anything to save them, it's a shame.

Damn, you took the same issues I wanted to say too, thanks a ton.

Besides, a circus in town. No one expected what was happening, but it was in hindsight that for once, we get a humanoid monster that isn't so evil at all.

However, the dangers are lurking too much, that Bela chose to lead him and his partner kid Harazy. And it's a shame that Bela couldn't do much about it, much less Harazy who shows her true colours, being the support to Val.

The culprit's true colours is finally known to Summers, just hoping that she'll take some action to stop the new boss.

So Harazy was actually the one with powers. Hopefully the youkai ningen will eventually save her and explain what Harazy actually is

I know I'm late but

The ending was kind of unexpected with the girl unleashing her powers. I was not really happy with how Val died either. Episode 5 is still my favorite episode.

It was obvious that Haraxzy would be the power user but I was surprised it went full every body loses ending.
