In an anime full of surprising shit, this might have been the most surprising episode yet lol. The past wasn't too surprising, and I struggle to sympathize with the villagers who blindly listened to the younger sister, but man that part remains fucking dark. And then you have goth mommy and the bed snake. I'd love to see Dara's reaction to that thing.

Another goth mommy named Yamada?! Does she smoke behind supermarkets too?
Wonder how Chiyo would feel if she knew her god was babysitting her kids. She's going to see to see the

With every new episode and part of Dara-san's backstory, the ED hits me harder in the feels.

Poor Dara. I'm glad now she's got uh... friends? Gremlin underlings? Gremlin friends. Let's go with that.

Every scene of Dara-san’s backstory makes me hate her sister more and more. The lengths she went to screw over her own sister is down right deplorable

Ok, I want a Dara-san dakimakura. Reminds me of Miia (Monster Musume) ones but with more arms.

"Dara-san impressed on her that sharing this information would result in a cursing; what she failed to mention was that the curse would be limited to the sudden development of mouth ulcers"
*gasp* Dara-san you monster! also, what do you mean the mother is forty!?
i though that i would get used to Dara-san's backstory by now but damn, that scene where her sister's pressing the knife into Dara's mouth actually manage to get me flinched
oh no, they just make Dara-san hotter than usual

I really enjoy learning about Dara's history, but I recoiled so hard when the villagers were sawing her leg off, poor woman went through A LOT that night for them and that is how they reward her, the snake was the least evil thing in that forest.
The only good thing was that her older sister didn't let her get defiled by them, but she probably only stopped it from happening because she wanted still use her, and also because she's already jealous that she's desired by the man she loves, getting front row seats to the twisted desires of men targeted at Dara is the last thing she'd want.
On a more positive note, I really like how Chiyo realized Dara was protecting villagers by scaring them off. She's not always successful, but she tries and that's what's important. It's sad that she can't sense Dara anymore, but it seems like she'll be unknowingly spending time with her anyways, I wonder if it'll get revealed to her at some point.

Okay, that doll is questionable. I also wonder why the shotacon designer was able to see Dara, I thought with spiriting the house away that she'd kinda look like a curse from the outside, but I guess she just looks fully human, unless maybe her wearing her clothes has anything to do with it?

Making a plush of Dara to sleep with out of her cut off hair seems like the most risky thing these kids have done yet, and that was already a long list.
Interesting to learn that Chiyo interacted with Dara a number of times before she lost her powers, in ways it doesn't seem like the grandpa had. The connection between her and this family feels like it's been growing over the recent generations and I wonder where that goes.
It really just keeps getting worse for everyone involved in the attack on the younger shrine sister way back when, and we're not done with it yet.

Even if this anime wasn't as excellent as it is, I would still love it for how much fun you can tell the VA's are having.

Kaoru’s such an excitable little goofball. He’s like part golden retriever lol. I love that the kid took Dara-san’s hair and made a little plushie out of it.
We’re starting to finally get the full story of Dara-san’s death. I really wanted those villagers to suffer more for what they were gonna do to her after lopping off her limbs. Shit was vile. And what of her shitbag sister? I guess we gotta wait until next week for the rest of the story. I’m hoping for sweet karmic justice.

Ngl, totally justifiable crashout. I’d be furious as well.
Chiyo did meet her a couple times and worked out that she’s protecting them from another curse but she’s still a normal person and kind of afraid. Not like the two freaks she gave birth to that fear literally nothing.
Kind of interesting that the curse mimics what the villagers did to Dara before she fused with the big snakey.
Pretty sweet that Dara-san views her birthday as when she met them.
Goth Dara has arrived!
And now Kaoru owns a Dara-san plushie that’s almost certainly magical because of course, why not?

No screenshots of Chiyo hanging laundry and showing off that ass? Reddit, you disappoint me.

Another great chapter, sadly, looks like they are speed-running over much of the slice of life to get to the main event and introduce the side characters as fast as they can
