What you're talking about is what a normal restrictive parent might think, but there's no evidence in the anime that this particular father thinks like that. Pay attention to what he actually says rather than making assumptions based on stereotypes. "The only truth in the world in my love for you" does not sound like "I want you to have what I think is best for you." |

This isn't assuming based on stereotypes. I've seen parents like him before, personally (not the picture stuff, but definitely the controlling part). It's a cultural problem in many nations too, hell in America they have television reality shows about controlling parents like Dance Moms and Toddlers in Tiaras. I have not, at any point, defended what he is doing, and I absolutely agree that it is wrong on many many levels.

I'm half expecting someone, somewhere, somehow to defend the father on the basis of relative morality. Because, you know, his house, his rules, and outsiders have no right to impose their values on him and his family.
"It's all relative! There's no such thing as universal rights and wrongs!" That's usually the case when someone wants to defend controversial social mores against those of so-called bigots, usually of the conservative variety. |

Now... on the other hand, where are all our contemporary feminists to curse that mother that is the worse example of subservient adult female since all the cast that Okada Mari has ever written |

Damn, Studio DEEN is doing a mighty fine job on the adaptation so far. I'm not kidding, I'm actually very impressed. And a bit surprised at the fact that they're moving slowly through the story. If this adaptation only gets 12 episodes, then at this rate they'll probably not catch up with the manga and have to stop somewhere in the middle. (blatantly hoping for a 2-cour adaptation, or a second season if it stops at 1 cour )
While they expanded a bit more on Rea's backstory, those few scenes are some anime original content that I wouldn't really mind. It could work as a stronger foundation, and actually helped people empathize more with Rea's life. What can I say, I fully enjoyed this episode. Everything's going well so far, I just hope the adaptation work doesn't trip somewhere along the way...

The father character is necessary to prop up the protagonist who in all fairness is just another generic harem lead, and to draw the self-righteous fire from the audience thereby ignoring some of the more disturbing characterisations of the cast...

Without feminism, women today would not have the almost-equal standing they do. I can't just quietly accept reflex jabs against an important movement that we all have benefited from, both male and female. It wasn't that long ago that everyone accepted that women were second-class citizens, bound to obey their fathers and then their husbands. Equality has caused problems, I agree, but it sure beats inequality.

Husbands didn't own their wives, but they owned their wives' sexuality, because they payed for it with their money. In return for their money, they received children from their wives. These children (both boys and girls) were considered property of the husband, because he bought them. Children born out of wedlock were still considered property of the mother. Marriage is a very simple contract, where one party buys something the other party offers. Since nowadays that is no longer accepted, marriage is also something that is failing today. |

One thing kept bothering me as I watched episode 3: did the cousin get out of the pipe? Twas especially distracting when it started raining. I kept imagining her still stuck in there as it filled with water (even though the rain didn't seem to last long). I blame the panty shots; I started caring about her fate quite a bit after seeing those.

I was worried about her too. Being stuck in a pipe like that would be terrifying. It's pitch black, you have no idea how close the exits are, no one can hear you... Even if they could hear you, how could they get you out?
Not to mention the claustrophobia. |

So now the story really begins. It was hinted that the poisonous flowers were needed to extend the zombie's life. Also, this also further hints that the grandfather is a zombie himself.
Also, Chihiro will now have to take responsibility for his previous promise of dating a zombie. How everything will turn out will be interesting to see. It will be priest family versus super rich and evil family. So, can she have children?
