Episode 7 Screenshots.
This was one of the saddest episodes I've seen in a while... They overdid it during the song at the end... The events might be quite traumatic for the younger population of viewers... |

She's an outsider that shouldn't have been in the village to begin with, and everyone knows that. They wanted to protect her, but the entire village was at stake. They simply CANNOT go against the empire. All they could do is watch and never forget about her. That is the impotence villagers felt back in the days when their loved ones was killed by the samurai. They knew their life had no value outside of their farming skills, and samurai were the ultimate authority. But yeah, I felt so angry. I want Erin to become bitter and completely annihilate the entire empire, but that won't happen probably. I think this will become a truly epic story.

The person in charge of the trial is so hateful. Hastily passing judgement instead of investigating it. Just because the Kiba died the carekeeper has to be executed is completely stupid too. If one day the true king died of poisoning , will the grand duke be executed too since he is suppose to be the one protecting him.
Anyway, the village is probably going to be in deep trouble now without Soyon around since the other doctor is a quack. |

Surprising change of tone, but yeah it doesn't make much sense to me either. Kill your staff because one of them (supposedly) messed up? You'll have manpower/motivation issues soon... It kinda looks like the stereotypical villains who are evil for evil's sake and kill henchmen when they displease them and such.

What will happen if she escapes? Would she live the life of a wanderer with Erin? The empire will brand her a traitor and chase her everywhere. She's basically a controller of nukes, and if she can't be controlled by the empire, the empire would want her dead. Soyon can't let Erin grow up in this kinda situation. This is all so crazy... Erin might not understand that Toudas are serious war business where people actually die, but now she's forced to this reality. What bother me is the expression of Soyon's tribefellow. It's not a "they kill one of us, we shall kill em" but "oh this is so awful, but we can't do anything about it". Are Mistfolks pacifist? It's likely, considering they would rather withdraw from the world rather than compromise their values. It's unlikely for the Mistfolk to avenge Soyon.

by the way, anyone else think the one who poisoned the lizards was the doctor? he semeed to be eaten by guilt throughout all of the episode, i assume this is some scheme started by the emperor, since we saw him noticing soyon so prominently.

I think Soyon may have actually been the one that poisoned the touda. She was sneaking around there the night before, at the beginning of ep 6. She seemed determined and it was a very suggestive scene. But it's also clear from ep7 that she knows what the consequences are and that she has accepted them, so I can't begin to guess her reasons.
I can't see any reason to think that the doctor did it.

I think it really could be either way, but I guess Soyon really could've done it. I guess it's partially because of the cycle of slavery involved with the beasts and the way of life the villagers live in accordance to serving the military machine. What better way to end it all then to sabotage it? It still feels weird to think Soyon would've done something so outrageous though.

She's a doctor (well, veterinarian), remember?
Spoiler:
It angers me so much, too. But... Spoiler:
I have such high hopes for this anime to become every bit as epic as Juuni Kokki was. Perhaps even surpass it.

I don't think Soyon would poison the Kiba. There is no way she would do that knowing the consequences and leave Erin by herself. It is more likely for the quack to do it than her.
Anyway, i think the reason why she didn't leave with Erin is because by using the power she commited a grave crime (by her own words) and she accepted the punishment to die. |

I've watched the first 5 episodes and I must say that I'm in love with this series. Specially the art style. It's like a mix of standard anime, Native American art, and a 3D Zelda game. It's not too "cute" yet I feel like a kid watching it. In a world full of series that have that "I feel like I've seen this before" look and feel(I'm thinking of Chrome Shelled Regios), it's a nice treat to watch a series that feel original.
