Yeah, this anime is brilliant, but four clip shows in a row is a little too much. I guess they wanted to remind us what is it all about before final episodes.

SARS is to blame. I don't know a studio that would air four consecutive recaps of their own volition.

Didn't even wait to find out who's pov this one was made in... I think it was either hubb or the old dude. Does that make me bad?

Only difference made is that we found out what the very first scene of kiba was about.

I swear to God, if this show wasn't so interesting, it would have been instant drop.

I could have already been on episode 22 if I skipped these recap episodes.

4 recap episodes? Really? 1 is bad enough, especially for a 26-episode series, but 4? This automatically docks the score at least 1-2 points.

I did not know the episodes before this one were recap episodes until I looked at Wikipedia. Oh, well. Now to watch this episode.

originally 26 episodes were planed, but because of reasons and funding, they had to air 4 recap episodes back to back. AFAIK, the OVA compensates for the 4 missing episodes.

This one is for sure the best out of the four recaps, though!

Eh, they weren't horrible recaps, but they were definitely completely pointless... only watched them so I can honestly say I watched every episode. I kept trying to reason with myself that there was going to be some kind of payout in the end though... but there were like 4 lines from each character, so in all they added about 16 lines of new dialogue and 5 new mediocre soundtracks (that were under a minute).

The only justification I can think of for these was to give a little more perspective on how they felt in the beginning vs how they ended up in current events, leading to whatever's to come. Of course that depends on whatever that is.

Gave me a little chill seeing Kiba laying there in the snow again with his opening line, but in reality it didn't really give any further information there... it makes no difference how he ended up there. Ah well... I'm sure as this aired it actually would've been less of a pain just 'cause all those scenes wouldn't be so fresh in our minds. Still annoying.

Y-you watched those 3 episodes without realizing you'd seen those scenes before? Seriously baffled how that could happen if you really watched the show before then, because that means you literally forgot everything before episode 14. I just can't fathom what you thought was going on, because otherwise it was a fast-paced jumble of information that made no sense.

The amount of recaps is getting ridiculous. If the following episodes won't be the "best of the best" I feel I have to deduct points just because of the recaps alone...

Just watched all the recaps because I'm a masochist in love with the soundtrack. I actually appreciate some of the little details I forgot in previous episodes that may be important to the story from here on out, so there's that too.

Ah, that makes sense. Why do pandemics have to ruin everything?

Four fucking recaps in a row, absolutely trash, don't think I've ever seen this many consecutively. Doesn't help that the series itself is a long, drawn out, slow paced journey lol....
