Riko frankly saying that she don't care if Vueko is bad person or not as long one can guide her to her friends is quite wonderful summary of her characterization as true white whistle. Even Bondrewd commented how quickly she understood him and how close her mindset of their kind and it's not the fist time she displays her moral ambiguity and lack of typical justice longing for the main leads.Despite being ultimately a good kid,for Riko her going on adventure down with her friends and explore the Abyss the highest priority of all, being able to sacrifice anything else including her own well-being.

I'm thinking 1-3 episodes till spoiler[the big reveal]. Hope the anime only viewers are ready for it. Reading the reviews from somebody who didn't read the manga version (which just dumped the whole flashback in a single chapter all at once) is really interesting. Keep up great work James!

Belaf seemed like such a nice guy, why'd he have to turn into a gut-slurping worm?
Also the opening seems to give away that Riko picks spoiler[guts] |

So this guy only wants pairs? Belaf, how about just an eye & the left leg?

Not to spoil... spoiler[but let's just say there's still some good left in Belaf. In fact there's still some good in all of the sages/villagers. This arc is a lot more grey than the previous one in terms of whose "in the wrong"] Edit: added spoiler tags. Errinundra. |

Omg, Riko really needs to keep Meinya in a cage or on a leash....just so people STOP squeezing the poor hamster bunny to death
I forgot to mention how I really like Kaja's voice. It's sorta mechanical...but sorta not? It's exactly how you imagine it to sound. So cool.
Not every story has morals...especially ones like these meant for a seinen audience. I say "Just give up trying to find one in MiA". Bondrewd is/was a terrible person and Prushka was blinded by her love for his father-like treatment of her. That is all there is to it. Maybe she was happy to be close to Riko again? Who knows.
 That scene wasn't even MEANT to be erotic...can you please stop complaining about things that aren't worth complaining about?
We get it; you think the show is gross and the author is gross but this only needs to be said once for us to understand your opinion. Seeing you complain about how gross it is every. single. week. is like, very annoying to people who are over it already. |

Episode 6;
Does that sword remind you of anything? 
Don't worry, we'll most likely get an explanation later why it might make sense in context. Yes, for better, or worse. With the Abyss you should know by now what to expect... Also, highly likely next episode will be a flashback on Ganja and we'll get some much need answers. |

Some pretty good animation this episode, though I lament that a lot of the talk about the creature's biology and behavior was cut for time. And for those wondering about Juroimoh and the "sticky sword" there's actually a pretty good reason for it thematically.
Vueko is right, after next episode there's no going back, and it's pretty rough to experience tbh. Also, I'm realizing in hindsight just how much of this episode/2-part chapter was foreshadowing for later in the arc. "The other 2 sages only appear when the village is threatened," Riko and the white whistle's effects, Kaja's alternate forms, etc. |

Episode 6 is just Studio Ghibli x HR Giger goodness. The anime has been following the manga for several episodes,so yes it's time for a extended flashback. |

So, uh, yeah. We're just basically in hell and horrible people who wouldn't even be able to survive layers 1-5 just somehow end up here?
I mean, Riko wasn't even able to activate the elevator to get down without the power of a white whistle, and nothing suggests that they just give those away. |

Assuming you're referring to Gem-Bug's spoiler above, spoiler[Juroimoh was sort-of created from Vueko's subconscious by the village itself]. |

Any attempt at humor or grossness about gourmet testicle-eating just flies right past me now, because I can't forget the stupid gourmet testicle-eating joke I heard back in the 70's as a kid, called "The Bullfighter's Special". Back then, bullfighting wasn't as condemned as animal cruelty as it rightfully should be, so this joke was widely told. It goes:
So whenever one of these hackneyed testicle-eating scenes shows up, like with Riko, I just roll my eyes and say, "Bullfighter's Special"! Are we ever gonna be rid of that joke? |
