seems kinda lame that he got a body part from a predator monster that was easily owned with a stick but that's about the only complaint i have

RottenK posted:i think it's a decent way to explain why he's going on a quest to hunt demons instead of staying with the doctor, though it's pretty lucky for him that the first of the 12 demons to go after him was a total scrub i guess my thought on it would be to swap Hyakki coming back all hosed up to be a result of the fight with the big deal demon and have it be the Kamaitachi instead (but maybe it will show up later in the series?) and he can regrow the leg at home. but honestly would be a lot of rewrite for an episode that does perfectly well as-is

i did think it was good that they showed Dororo realizing whats up with Hyakki since he should probably be on the same page as the audience asap, but i guess in retrospect it's weirdly framed to have us come out of the flashback into blind guy somehow explaining all the relevant info to Dororo. and also kinda weird to have the blind guy explaining this as if he really knows anything about Hyakki...

basically you have: - Episode 1, we the audience see the curse happen - Episode 3, in the flashback Jukai mentions the curse while giving Hyakkimaru his sword arms, which i guess would be for his benefit if he could hear - Episode 3, flashback ends and Hyakki bids farewell to Jukai, camera goes fuzzy and fades back in on Dororo having the curse explained to him by Biwa i think the Jukai bit is iffy, because hey you'd probably still talk to the deaf mute kid in some way. but it also means we get two similar mentions of the curse within a few minutes of each other and one doesn't have much purpose even in-show. this same deal happened with Hyakki's spirit sight in episode 2, where you've seen it used by both him and Biwa, a narrator then explains it to you, and then Biwa explains it to Dororo later in the same episode.

that's a nice and concise way of putting it i definitely appreciate the moments we've gotten inside Hyakki's head/past so it is unfortunate that those things have kinda by design carried this consequence of repetition

obviously what we really need is an adaptation of MW

i think the ragging on this show in relation to the old version isn't terribly helpful on a week-to-week basis, but would probably be better when all is said and done and people itt may be looking toward the manga/old anime/ps2 game as other interpretations of the story. i'm still sorting through my thoughts on this specific ep, but as someone not familiar with the old version, this one still does seem lackluster in the writing department. animation and overall aesthetic remains top notch though.

sad to realize there's only 5 episodes left and most of them are gonna be serious junk real missed opportunity that more of the show wasn't like this week because chill comedy adventures with hyakki and dororo are great
