| This just gets better and better. Everything went down in such a way which made it difficult for me to guess what would happen next. I really had a WTF moment once the guy started throwing up fishes. Then came the other horrid images. I wonder what the minstrel was eating? I look forward to see how everything will work out next episode. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| That must be the most colorful ship ever made |
| Wow i must be getting psychic. I guessed that the old monks fear was his sister. And bam i was right. *onto next episode |

| Superb episode that was; though I still wonder what was in the pastry he ate, but like Kayo noted it's probably better if I don't know. |
| Another brilliant episode. What a cliffhanger though >.< |
 |
| Loved this episode. The artwork is really beautiful and awesome. |
| Ahhh Cliffhanger every time!!! Love it! The illustrations are exquisite! Can't wait for ep 5 |
  |
| This was the best episode so far, with awesome atmosphere and the greatest fears of all characters =) |

| The monks were just praying in their room? Me and my dirty mind... :D |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
Ben said: I still wonder what was in the pastry he ate, but like Kayo noted it's probably better if I don't know. Yeah... Let's just take the horror on his face before it started to distort that the illusion he saw was anything but pretty. I'd rather not know, too. XD I think I'm sloooowly getting used to the animation... At first the amount of colour just blinded me so much that I couldn't really focus on what was going on in the episode. |

| that fish Ayakashi was so crazy!! the visions they all had scared the crap out of me. i'm surprised i didn't have any nightmares after watching this episode. |
| This episode was fucking amazing. What do I fear the most? The event where a mononoke-fish pops out of a ghost ship and starts asking me what I fear the most. |
 |
| the assistant feared the monk most, is that fear immune from hallucination or did i miss something? or is this all his hallucination now??? (probably not) anyway, great ep |
| Another great episode. The illusions that the Umizatou presented them were pretty messed up - I am morbidly curious about what was in the illusory pastry that guy saw but, based on the other illusions, it was probably some gross looking fish thing. Anyway, I am also glad that this episode addressed the question I had last episode on what the difference between an ayakashi and a mononoke was. It was a somewhat cryptic explanation but, still, any explanation is better than none. |
| lol so the girl is from ayakshi? i guess ill watch it before episode 5 |
 |
| Watching this anime at night is like watching nightmares before falling asleep! And in the same moment you want to see more o_0 |
This is just beautiful. |
 |
| Oh boy that was sick! Especially the pregnancy scene... but damn Wakamoto Norio did some superb voice acting once more! Well this is getting really fucked up and good, so lets see what's next! |
 |
| 1.Most colorful ship ever. 2.I wonder what he ate in the pastry? 3.What do you fear the most?(that this show is going to end after 8 more ep T_T) |

 |
| Yeah that fish was crazy. It was fun when Kayo scolded Kusuriuri for trying to look so cool, I really like all of Kayo's expressions. |
 |
| This show is awesome i love the ending of them all !!!! |
 |
| Kusuriuri x Kayo! I really do hope she travels with him. She's fun to watch. Incoming Oyou's tragic past >__< |

Blackouting said: the assistant feared the monk most, is that fear immune from hallucination or did i miss something? or is this all his hallucination now??? (probably not) anyway, great ep I came back here just to bring that up. It may be because he was already living his greatest fear that there was no need for a hallucination. I also noticed that when asked what each person on board feared most they all got a different fish. I wonder what each one represents. I was only able to guess Medicine Seller's correctly. It was a shark. |

| this episode is the best so far it was very well written |

| That scratching sound coming from the old boat... this show makes such good use of sound effects. |
 |
| technically speaking I know I should be a bit scared of the umizatou, but I can't take it seriously. All I keep thinking off is the ossan from gintama. if kayo's fear was like that, I really don't want to know what was in the pastries. (i guess it was a fish filled one? hmm) Kusuriuri's fear was interesting as well. the scene after lightening struck was beautiful. while the scratching was scary. I pity sougen though. |
 |
| Oooh now this was an interesting episode (even if still boring at times) |
| Kayo is fun and spunky as heck, I absolutely love her character. :D A great foil to have around the taciturn Medicine Seller. |
| Wow crazy and interesting episode! The suspense to find out what's in the utsurobune is killer |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| That Shamisen Fish is a goddamn sea genie. Everyone else was getting a taste of what they want and don't want in the worst way they can think of but the Minstrel eating the imaginary pastry and finding out what it was made me laugh a lot and took the cake xD They found a deathship with the monk's sister apparently scratching her way out o_o |
 |
| That fish really knows how to play his instrument. Wish he could teach me. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
Zelev said: That fish really knows how to play his instrument. Wish he could teach me. LOL. By the end of the round of questions i was laughing cause that fish has such a epic way of enunciate words xD. So it was the Monk's fault i see, what would be the history behind the hatred of his sister? The girl on the boat adds up a bit of a comedy light-tone to this arc. Interesting episode. |

| the amount of fish that appeared in this episode is uncanny |
| Man, this was such an intense and amazing episode, the past one, even so, was not very clear, it was worth the follow-up. What I fear the most is the death of my parents. |
| Loved this episode a lot. They had a sample of their own fears and like everyone else, I wonder what kind of pastry that guy was eating in his hallucination and what he saw. |
| 臭い- |
| This is getting intense by the minute..cant wait to see the Mononoke.. |
 "Not everyone who works hard is rewarded. But, all those who succeed have worked hard" |
| Oof that girl will probably never have kids after that traumatizing illusion(even I have a fear of childbirth so I can relate). Wonder what Oyou's Form will be. |
 |
| ok this ep was better, i found the previous one to be boring |
 |
| oh to have the medicine man hold u in his arms after experiencing your worst fear |
