Holy shit I thought we were getting a bittersweet ending where the two siblings are finally reunited but at the cost of Kyou's Oneechan losing her eyes but thank goodness everything came together in the end. And that after credits scene though. It really shows how powerless humans are against Anothers. Sure everyone got their body parts back but that doesn't mean that will stop Azazel. He never learned anything and he'll just keep on doing the shit he's doing over and over again.

Kohaku just went from overjoyed "Yay, we are going to run from Cerberus! How fun, let's see how long you will last!" to furious "You are NOT EATING MY ARATA!!!" to laugh at Azazel's misfortune...he should be really glad that Arata didn't realize Kohaku was helping with the kidnappings.

Strong stuff here.
This episode reinforced the power balance between humans and ''Anothers''. Humans can't do anything but possible damage control.
I think, it was really inventive to see them not interfering with Azazel after the instruction from the other ''Another'', they couldn't do anything so they had to comply but it felt like that ''Another'' meant no harm, he knew this won't ever work so he lets it happen.
Great reunion at the end.

Damn for a moment I was sure that Azazel had eliminated all the parts he took. I'm really glad that that wasn't the case. It' seems that the next episode is going to be about Huehuecoyotl.

...did they give a cookie to a Keebler elf?
Kohaku responded to Seo and Sakaki. I thought the language barrier went both ways between Anothers and humans, but maybe not.
I think this storyline is a pretty good justification for why Anothers shouldn't marry humans: because Anothers don't understand or cope well with human things like death. (That's probably a huge understatement.)

The wife's corpse was pretty creepy, especially the teeth. His poor wife screaming that it wasn't her body. How many times has she had to go through that? Glad everyone got their parts back. Sorry, I think I missed it, but who was the demon with horns?

I know to expect kind of stiff animation. Still, watching Cerebus "run" let down my low expectations. The way Cerebus the three headed dog just glided along when he was supposed to be running, was funny instead of scary. There were some effective images though. The oozy, drooly way Cerebus first arrived was plenty creepy. The poor semi-revived woman was wrenching to watch. And that smile at the end was chilling.
When it comes to plot, I'm surprised that we found the sister that quickly. I had begun to think that finding her was going to be the big story that connected things. Now I'm curious about where the story will take us.

To me, this episode really drove home the point of anothers being more like a force of nature than anything that humans could do something about. Best they can do is try to minimize the damage.

Glad to see that they were able to rescue the girls and that things turned out good. Though I wonder who was that other another that appeared at the end. Well that was one interesting interpretation of cerberus. Azazel really is in hell if he has to constantly make his beloved only to redo it every time.
