| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- awesome ep! even the art style is improving i wont comment too much here because ive watched the 7th aswell so it'll be a bit hard to stay away from spoilers. on the end of 6th ep i just wanted to see who is hiding behind the mask ;S |
| Ack I missed that ep 7 was out, I'll have to watch it after I get home from work. I'm kind of sad though, we are half way though the series now and I'm just loving it. I don't think I want it to end. |

| Lol, I bet the Medicine Seller finagled his way to be in the same cell as Ochou, the woman-murderer. And great cliffhanger!~ I wanted to see his face already. ^_^ Brand said: Ack I missed that ep 7 was out, I'll have to watch it after I get home from work.

| I think the cell was more of a metaphorical thing. He states several times that "If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison." and that "If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress." which makes me believe they are are still at her home. |

I know. :) But my earlier impression is that she was imprisoned or something (which is correct in a sense). Still, the Medicine Seller tapped into another's state of mind, 'finagling' his way through it, although we didn't see it. ^_^ Lol, for someone espousing truth, the Medicine Seller sure has quick wit to utter falsehoods. ^^ |
| Pretty interesting arc alright. Lol at medicine seller. *off to next ep |

| cool. medicine seller-san is good in battle |
| In the begining of this epi, I was foolish enough to belive that this one lacked substaince compared to the last arc. However, I sit here in shock, eager for the next. Dam these are excellent! |
 |
| I don't know if this will top the Umibozu arc in the end, but still a damn fine episode. |
| I liked that: "If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison. If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress." I don't really get what the Mononoke wanted to accomplish by marrying her...I hope this will be explained in the next episode. Gahhh what a cliffhanger >.> |

| ...ahhhh always the cliffhanger!! ON to episode 7... :)!!! |
  |
| The samurai was kinda funny |

| That was some sturdy smoke pipe the mononoke had! I chuckled a bit when the Medicine Seller had a henohenomohe face. :) |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| That was absolutely magnificent. Great cliffhanger. "If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison. If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress." Quite catchy and interesting line. =) |
| Gotta love the way Medicine Seller talks. He's awesome! ^_^ Another great episode! |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| That masked mononoke is so awesome! i wish i could cosplay as him. :-P |
| So, this monoke defeats his opponents by making them losing their face, quite literally even. Next episode he finally seems to show his true face. |
 |
| favourite so far, mysterious-tastic |
| I definitely enjoyed this episode - especially the little fights between the Medicine Seller and the Man in the Fox Mask using their sword and pipe respectively. Also, for anyone here who has also seen Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror, the voice actors for Ochou and the Man in the Fox Mask are the same as the two main characters in the second arc - the one concerning the "Forgotten Gods". Their relationship, one that is between human and nonhuman, is a parallel to the one they had in Ayakashi; but, this time around, the man is the nonhuman entity and the woman is a human. I love that this anime includes little interesting details like that. |
| Awesome episode, nice concept, great development and a cliffhanger! Lets see what's next. Lol @ his drawn face :p |
 |
| That episode was so good it only felt about 5 minutes long o.O |
 |

 |
| Hmm I wonder what's real and what's not? Was she really imprisoned or was it part of the play? :o |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Re-watching this episode certainly doesn't make the sound any easier to hear. I still get chills.. I love it. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| gah I think this is my favourite mononoke so far. I think the mononoke is faceless though. |
 |
| What an awesome episode. |
| It was awful. Very boring |
 |
| That was riveting. Cannot hope to make sense of it until I've seen the next episode too. |
| Can't wait to find out what the mononoke's face looks like |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Foxy is quite the smoker~ Being able to incapacitate the Medicine Seller for a moment using only a smoke pipe. What I don't really get is why he keeps changing faces. Maybe it's a symbolism of trying to be someone you're not, adjusting for everyone and losing the real you in the process. That cliffhanger tho lol Just when the mask came off kek |
 |
| Their identity was lost, it seems? My first guess was that the spirit was her husband, but I doubt it. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| The hunt to know who the spirit really was an what are the motifs behind his actions. I really liked this episode; all of them have been mesmerizing, but the art and colors on this one were particularly stunning. I do indeed think the cell was completely metaphorical, a play by the Mononoke that wanted to keep her there and then play as her savior, maybe? Interesting enough, that's for sure. So far, i think this is one of the best anime i've ever seen, i'm beyond words when it comes to the art and the animation. |

| This arc is probably the most confusing for me; I will definitely have to rewatch it again. |
 |
| Really liked this one, loving the art and I have high expectations for the next episode |
| this arc is the most mind boggling so far, im getting the basics but not everything |
| Great fucking episode |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This was probably the weakest out of the last episodes, but like the first episode of the previous arc, it's so much all over the place that I think I might only get a clearance after watching what comes next, hopefully it justifies everything just the right way to make this arc as good as the others. |
| It keeps getting better and better. Now we have a Mononoke who is in love with a human. Had her kill off her husband and his family so that they could be together. |
| 臭い- |
| Finally the form that was hidden all this time is gonna be relieved.. Onward towards ep 7.. |
 "Not everyone who works hard is rewarded. But, all those who succeed have worked hard" |
| He just drew a face on lmaoo Now I wonder how far does the masked Mononoke's deception go. Dang that cliffhanger though. |
 |
| prison = not the prison cell she's in, but the house she was living in I can't be the only one who thought that confession scene was cute asf |
 |
| Hmm, I wonder what his true motive is. Or maybe that Mononoke just loves Ochou that much? Poor Ochou, she can't seem to catch a break. |
