I wanted to watch this episode pretty badly after seeing the preview last week. After finally seeing it though, I have mixed feelings about it. I found this to be an unexpected and bizarre episode. We get to see who or rather what Hakuoro really is. I think I have an idea of just what is going on, but I’m not too confident about it since it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. With a few more episodes left I expect a complete explanation in the very near future. For a while I was worried this episode was going to be Aruru’s final appearance. Luckily this isn’t the case, although things have now become extremely odd. On the bright side, the crisis caused by the invasion appears to be over at least temporarily.
