I do wonder though… if the fact that the Medicine Seller was smoking the same pipe as the youkai means anything? From the back, I often thought that the youkai shared a certain resemblance with the Medicine Seller’s transformed self… just a thought. And he said the reason the youkai was trying to help her may be because he ‘fell in love’ with Ochou. But the one who helped her in the end was the Medicine Seller, no? Ah, just rambling here…

Yeah, I was cheering when Ochou left her husband in the end. All this “mask wearing” is so common in real life so I bet this episode struck a chord in many viewers X)

Yeah, the arc was short but then again, the Zashikiwarashi arc was two episodes long only. Maybe it’s the progression of events in this arc that made it look short. But I’m glad the ending wasn’t something tragic.

Ah, this arc is so short =( But I think everything was explained and portrayed nicely. I agree that the unique animation does help add to accentuate this series but… ah… *hangs head in guilt* Twas beautiful too, I’m glad Ochou finally left that samurai D: I want to hear Kuwashima Houko voice Ochou~! I think I WILL try watching this series, but not so soon as I have a big exam coming up and I’d be full of guilt if I started any new series LOL Other than CLANNAD
