Good episode. She really needed this break to get ready to deal with what's ahead.
I don't like the new opening and ending songs at all :(

I don't quite think so. These episodes needed because of the character development.~
And the new op/ed are good~

They should just have Haji playing the cello as the opening song.
It would never happen but it would be awesome.

You really can't go home again. Saya has Kai's promise though.

Pretty good episode; it sets the stage for future conflicts. I miss the old OP/ED though. The new OP isn't to my taste.

Great episode. Loved it

A nice, slow paced episode to serve as a break from the action and prepare us for more. I liked it. The new opening is quite good (I like Hyde) but I preffered the first one. The ending is more calm and I really like it, almost as much as the first one (that one is unbeatable though)

Awesome opening/ending song, you will be missed. :(

As for the episode: I wonder if Hagi ever ate what Riku gave him. xD

4/5

A blast from the past "next!" As often happens, the calm follows the storm, what we find in the plot and in the narrative. It can also be there, because it seems to regenerate the whole thing!
The plot, however, also enter something interesting, let's see how they develop these points.
Drawings not ugly, but always wavering between a more than acceptable at a level nearly enough, this thing hits me a little bit! D:
Animations good!

4/5

It was a great episode, sort of like a calming intercession to prepare Saya for what is ahead, to allow her to truly say goodbye to her town and friends. I liked the animation for the new opening but the song didn't really catch my ear like the first. Who knows, maybe it will grow on me. 8)

I'm so excited about the next arc! Definitely the "calm before the storm" happening here.

That moment with Kaori tho, man TTnTT

"Dakara... Itterasshai!"
"...Ittekimasu."

Had me bawling dammit =') So simple but gosh, dem feels.
These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)・ω・) ゚Д゚)゚∀゚)・∀・) ̄ー ̄)´_ゝ`)

Kai: "I promise I'll stay with you. I'll never leave you again. No matther what happnes or where you go, I'll be there for you."
Me: "NNNOOOOOOOOOO!"

Seriously, Kai should go home and take care of Riku. I mean, one is careless and the other is a kid. He says that he wants to protect her, but it's always the other way around. She always has to worry about them. And how can she drag them in a world of monsters? And because of them, she can't go totally berserk with a sword (but she needs to soon, or shit will seriously hit the fan). I think Haji could keep her in check. After all he's the only one that actually knows her.

Wait why are Kai and Riku leaving with her? How is that good for anyone?

As cool as the 1st one was, I actually like the new OP. The ED though is a definite skip.

Though last time she went berserk, she went berserk on EVERYONE. Had kai not shown up and brought her to her senses, she might have killed them all.

First opening >> second opening

Was a nice episode, not truly eventful nor impressive, but it's really enjoyable how this series is paced.

Awesome new OP animation! Good work by Kazuto Nakazawa and Kyouji Asano (among others). Though the song for the 1st one was maybe slightly better...
