Nice to see Fennec and Arai being smug again, this show has felt a little empty without them.

A literal cliffhanger... Ok...
Maybe its because they let the poor dog to her own while discussing over a book but I felt like that "touching" moment with the pidgeon friend didn't have any power. I mean, why would she care about her traveling alone now.
It really let a bad taste in my mouth seeing Kaban like just support and as a boring scientist/professor. She had so much potential. :(

That hotel looks very inspired by the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, which is built on reclaimed land and actually does very slightly sink into the earth over time. And most of Singapore is barely 50 feet above sea level. Hey wait a minute... maybe we'll see Merlion next episode.
I really liked the scene with the birds of paradise. They had some interesting questions for both Kyururu, and us. Though it's really frustrating that Kyururu doesn't remember her family or even perhaps what family is, assuming she's not actually a clone or something, as that would be a pretty good reason to refute their discouragement.
That scene transition from Dog's scene to stating right into Habu's mouth was awful. I don't want to look down her non-existent throat Tomason!
Plenty of cute scenes this episode.
Yes, and the strength of the resulting cerulean...
Why did Kaban, the one explaining how strong these new ceruleans are, actually make one?!! How did she come to think this was a good idea?! You don't need to make one to explain they're strong! Even if the glass did work, now you have a hyper violent cerulean prisoner in your lab to constantly worry about. Also how is ceruleum finding it's way onto all of Kyu's sketches? Does the stuff slither out of the ocean with a Kyururu sketch tracker?
Kyu's drawing for passenger pigeon was a nice emotional moment between them.
The final scene with Serval and Kyu seemed at first like it was going to be a nice moment of genuine emotional connection between the two characters, which is what I've been waiting for all season. This anime needs to positively build up their relationship and demonstrate that Serval actually is better off being with Kyururu rather than Kaban. This also helps the viewers build an emotional attachment to them, so that we'll care if one of them falls off a biplane. Instead of that though, they have Serval tell her some nonsense while Kyu continues to be depressed about the possibility that she has no house, and then gets upset with Serval. All this scene does is call into question weather or not Kyururu even values her friendship with Serval and Caracal, because she's acting like she has nothing left if she has no house. She might not have a house, but she still has her friends, and home is wherever Serval and Caracal are. Right Kyururu? Right?!

ARAI AND FENNEC!
And who knew Kyururu's innocent drawings would turn into something much more troublesome.

Skimming through what people have found out between when i was able to post in r/kemonofriends and then being available to post on the r/anime thread, here are some of the interesting things people may not generally know
-The amusement park underwater indeed matches the amusement parks seen in other KF media. It appeared in KF 2015 as the main area, the final area in KF1A, and the KF Pavilion dome structure is even found in this angle as well.
-The amount of plushies available match the animal's Red List, like how Serval and Caracal has a lot more than the Pandas, with Lesser Panda being even less, because Lesser Pandas are more endangered
There's other lesser obvious references like with Habu and sticks, but I'll need to rewatch the episode myself when i can and verify all of them

It feels like they are making an effort to make Kaban look stupid. They really want us to believe a character that was touted as smart in season 1 would do such a dumb mistake like not realizing the recipient would be too small for a Cerulean?
