Did anyone find it weird when they got out of the ice. You've got half a dozen naked grown men, with two children watching them. And the girl wasn't even phased by it, she just started a conversation with the boy like nothing had happened.

Hey, I think she just realizes she's in Golden Kamuy and these sorts of displays are to be expected.

Well, Asirpa basically sits on Sugimoto's dick while resting under a tree during the episode in S2 where they all fight while naked. Of course, it's not her first time at seeing one: https://youtu.be/pwhRD59dG7w?t=75

I agree with Grant: this week's episode was sheer perfection, golden shower and all. Back when I finished the first episode of season 1 and decided to keep watching despite being put off by the CG bear, I couldn't imagine the show would eventually get this good. There's nothing like it, and I hope they keep making it until the manga is over.

I usually find the sexual comedy in Golden Kamuy either uncomfortable or dull, but Shiraishi's golden shower was actually genuinely pretty funny.

This episode was gold all-around. I share Zhou-BR's experience: I wondered for a long time if this show would ever be much more than middling, and flirted with giving up on it. But it's really come through; there's really nothing else quite like it out there, and it's nice to have a long-running anime available with genuinely well-developed and well-written characters. Not that GK is the first ever in that regard, but I think it is an unusual find, there.

I can't believe a scene like this can exist and it doesn't even phase me, but truly there is nothing else quite like Golden Kamuy. I worried that after the first prison plot getting wrapped the show might not get back the same tension but boy was I wrong.

Cosign 100%. I think I'm ride or die with this one now.

I have no idea how the show with a touching scene of struggling with the desire to murder someone and a touching scene of two people being reunited, could end up with them being pissed, and it somehow not feeling out of place.

Only this show could pull off the tonal whiplash of going from Asirpa almost murdering Ogata to Shiraishi's Waterworks Spectacular. Absolutely amazing episode.

It's bizarre to think about the fact that this is only episode 35 of this show. With everything that's happened, and the huge cast of characters, this series could easily have been twice as long.

Some pretty dramatic events here in the season three finale. Season four in 2022?



Time for a spinoff series?

I definitely share Grant's sentiment there at the end. I found myself wondering if it was my anticipation for season 3 making me overly excited, or if it was the show genuinely nailing it. I've decided it's the show being that good. I've seen a lot of anime over a lot of years, and there aren't many that have grabbed me and refused to let go like Golden Kamuy.

Hands Down the best show of the season. Love the first two seasons but this one was just amazing.
