I blame Haruhi.

i liked this ep...it showed good plot and char development...it makes u wonder if Hakuoro is making the right decisions...and what will be the consequences...cant wait for ep 6...

[Dagger]

Wow, this episode was pretty awesome. If all the fight scenes to come have the same level of animation, I'll be quite happy.

[Wandering_Youth]

Holy cow, either that tiger just natrually grows up fast, which would explain the big appeite or time passed real quickly in the anime.

This was an ok episode, nothing really interesting happens since it's for raising the climax for the big battle might may happen later. Right now, I want some character development right about. I'm interested in the background story for the two twins and how they teamed up with Oboro.

Best Scenes for this episode:

Spoiler:

I be pretty upset too after being assaulted and insulted by a big white tiger.

Can you say, "Yikes!"?

Stick'em up?

Mukuru Smash!

Spoiler:

Perhaps there was a timeskip so to speak but even Hakuoro was surprised with how fast the tiger was growing which makes me think that perhaps it does grow naturally fast. Maybe someone whose played the game can comment.

Really liked the lighthearted scenes in this episode. Particular favourites were mukuru trying to suckle on Eruruu's teat(at least that's what I saw) for nourishment.
Also liked the look Eruruu gave which made Mukuru back down in the storeroom when it was caught eating all the food.

[KBTKaiser]

Let's put it this way. :3

Aruruu plays spoiling mother while Eruruu plays law-enforcing mother. ^^;

[Guido]

Smooth and fast-paced animation for the match against the Benaui group and the Hakuoro group. The animation's cinematics remind me of those from Miyazaki's films, particularly Mononoke Hime.

Beautiful music soundtrack especially flute music and song with string instruments.

The small skirmish between Benaui and Hakuoro was just the apetitizer for the big war coming for the rebels against the imperial army. Benaui hasn't shown his true colors yet, neither Hakuro has.

They got rid of Sasante and yet there's the fat*** Inkara that profits from the country for its own wealth and sees fit of the people as disposable trash. I cannot stand him. Please, let Oboro have a piece of Inkara's anatomy for all of us!!

For Oboro I hold in contempt much of his honorific disposition to throw away his life in ruthless manners. He should not carry the responsiblity and guilt all to himself. Yuzuha will have to teach him a thing or two about good faith, as Hakuoro is starting to put sense on him about self-appreciation.

Respect to Eruru's embarrasing experience....

Spoiler:

Mukuru felt bad about Eruru because her breasts are smaller, or she's Got-No-Milk?
If Eruruu's careless, in a couple more years Aruruu will surpass her on growth , and the little sister will find a groom sooner before the elder does much to the latter's shame.

Aruruu right now is moe and cuter than her older sister.

And how come Mukuru grew that much in a lapse of two episodes?, Is not supposed that tigers are only-carnivores, yet Mukuru can eat anything?



If Mukuru's a female and beast, I don't know why she was afraid of Eruru pulling out that face?

Unless anime, pissed-off girls can frighten not only boys but also little girls, particularly if they are obnoxious lil' sisters, as well as animals.

[KBTKaiser]

Personally, I think they got Mukuru's gender wrong. >>; Given how Mukuru's has one heck of a mama's boy attitude. >>;

[riznar]

I think the implication was that Mukuru grows as she eats, until she is at full size.

[Erroll]

I gave this one a 9 too. It had a nice balance of seriousness and comedy. The best scene for me was

Spoiler:

when Aruruu showed up on Mukuru's back screaming "Don't hurt my daddy!" Then she points at Benawi and goes "Daddy's enemy". That had me cheering. Go, Aruruu! I do agree. It's clearly cheating bringing in the adorable girl who wants to protect her daddy on the back of a ravaging beast. There's just no competing with that.

After seeing the episode I can say it was pretty good.., that particular scene you just mencioned to me was the highlight of the episode.., well and the fact that, as mencioned previously.., Mukuru grows at tremendously absurd rate.

Back to the fight scene though.., the animation there was pretty good, I recon and I've said it before, its where these series have they're strong points; and altough this was just a teaser.., it realy gaved us better a glimpce on what's to come; that is.., much better then what the previous episodes had given us.

Its true though.., Benawi hasn't by far shown us his "true" skills.., but all in all on this fight with Hakuoro..,

Spoiler:

he won. Had it not been for Aruruu and Mukuru to the rescue

Benawi also is having a good character development.., in this episode I can say that we see the..

Spoiler:

seeds of rebelion within him.., altough he belives and fights for a just cause.., I belive it to be only a matter of time until he rebels against Inkara and joins Hakuoro and the rest.
This particular aspect is also enforced by the fact that Inkara chose to burn down the other village with innocent people, and that now Nuwangi is put in a superior rank.

Eruruu's embarrasing experience was alot of fun to watch aswell.., you can realy see that she was REALY embarrassed when Mukuru jumped all over her
Also..,

Spoiler:

after the situation where she finds Aruruu feeding Mukuru in secret.., I recon this shot Wandering_Youth posted clearly describes how she probably kept feeling through the rest of the episode

On a last note I have to agree with this quote by Guido aswell; the entire animation of the show from the start has always reminded me of Mononoke Hime.., in fact.., your not the first person I read saying that.

I gaved it a 8.
Looking forward for the next

[Trax]

Spoiler:

Haha that was great, loved that reaction. Nice to see Eruru can get serious if needed.

Spoiler:

Nuwangi back, and already up to no good, being responsible for razing that village as a warning. He'll probably pee his pants as usual when he doesn't have any soldiers to hide behind though. Can't wait to see that.

[Onizuka-GTO]

Mukuru & Aruruu pwn in this episode. absolutely moe feast.

I hate tiny domestic cats. But on the other hand I love big cats, so this one was a winner.

Aruruu kawaii "otou-san" were absolute moe overdose!

Spoiler for Why I thought Mukuru got scared of Eruruu:

Mukuru she see her as the "Mother" of the family, or at leased the "alpha" female.
This is also why Mukuru said she felt sorry for Eruruu because she mentioned about unable to spare food, Mukuru thought she could get around that by feeding off Eruruu ample breast that looks like they were full of yummy milk!! This is normal in social animal groups, because the "alpha" females are always the ones that are fertile, and are allowed to mate more frequent so thus generally have yummy milk breast! X(^o^)/

[Daniel E.]

Gone most of the day and the eps. gets released............just my luck.

Anyway, I also agree with the idea of Benawi becoming one of the good guys in the future. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up getting killed for trying to betray the emperor. (just a wild guess there)

Looking forward for some "wing-girl action" in the future.

Hmm, there are quite a few who can qualify as "wing-girl"

Do you mean the purple-haired swordswoman, who is Touka?

I am talking about the first girl with wings we see in the intro (black wings, gray/blue hair)

Been wanting to see her since the show started

[Lost]

Mukuru's still suckling eh? What has Aruruu been teaching/feeding her? AND whats with oversized smoking oyajis being in power??

It was a very nice episode, I also think this was the best. One think I can say for sure, they put ALOT of effort into the sparring scenes. I was quite impressed, not bad at all. As for Benawi, I don't know, but I think its a given that he joins them. Look at the OP.

Hee hee.. Aruruu has shown her courage again

*gives it a 9*

That is Kamyu. And I want to see her too.

[Green²]

I think the titty got no milk comment is getting to Eruruu:

Spoiler:

Or maybe, like being called so old, and yet so not laid.



See... old.

Eruruu: "Smell like,.. Old? Screw you bitch! I'll kill you!"

...like twice in one day.



Oh shit! Uh, run away!

10/10 for the battle sequence. Smooth, aggressive, & powerful, and even better with the sound effects put in.

Oh, and 10/10 for that battle sequence at that fallen village.

Run for the hills people! Run!

Ahh. Wishing that they'd introduce the other charas already. Especially Touka.
