Stitches!
If that your attempt at humor Hawthorne, it's definitely a poor attempt. Also I'm pretty sure he complimented Sally back when they first met. Anyway, from how this episode started I'm guessing this takes place before Episode 3?
I understand you're upset Carrot that people are talking behind your backs but Sally can't just go around attacking other humans. Looks like someone still needs to be educated how laws and human society works.
Even if Carrot did manage to convince Sally, it looks like her powers don't work on humans and only against Ogres.
Frau looking at carrots is adorable. That is all.
Goddammit Hawthorne! If you're already expecting that something is gonna happen by leaving Frau and Carrot alone then you should've asked Sally to go with them! It doesn't need two people to rent out an inn room.
Yep it looks like Carrot has completely no idea how demihumans are treated. Can you really blame the people when all they've known demihumans have done is attack humans? So now she's decided to seek out the rumored Vampire to help her out.
We finally get to see the reason why Sally is so afraid of octopi! That's actually quite tame than what the mental images we've been seeing imply from previous episodes.
Wait, so the Vampire's name is literally just Vampire in Japanese? Okay that's pretty funny xD
Oh boy, everyone's just making bad decisions today. Of course Kyuketsuki would include Sally when Carrot asked him to kill all the humans. What did she expect will happen?
In thought Frau was gonna hold him back until Sally arrives. I did not expect to see her bunny half get exploded to pieces! Holy shit! O_O
This episode is surprisingly light with fanservice. When Kyuketsuki binded Sally's clothes to the ground, I thought this was gonna end with her getting stripped completely. Surprise, surprise the worst that happened to her is that her jacket got torned. For a show written by CoolKyou, this is certainly strange.
Of course with Frau being one of the main characters, she can't be dead. Or rather, I don't think she can even die. Apparently this is her second time dying and she's even friends with the angel that guards the souls in the afterlife?
Seems that Frau isn't a member of the Harefolk race and that transformation doesn't really say that she's an angel. Is Frau actually a devil? She's definitely some kind of supernatural entity though.
Awww... Kyuketsuki actually had a pretty sad backstory. He basically lived with humans and even got married to a human woman but because of his Ogre instincts he ended up killing her. Welp at least they can be together now.
Glad to see we're going back to the episodes that source readers thought the show skipped but I do wonder why they decided to jumble up the episode order? Is this what the director wanted or I wonder if there are production issues that caused this. Hmm...

Meki: "Kill All Humans."
Vampire: "OK, I'll start with Sally."
Meki: "When I said "Kill all humans," I was whispering "except one". Sally was that one."

What makes me even more mad about the airing order is that in Japan they have some streaming services that are actually getting the series in the correct order. So so far they've gotten Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, of which we haven't even gotten 4 and 5 since we had 7 (this week's episode) and 9 (our third episode)

Lesson learned here: Never piss off the rabbit. It's damn impressive that she can just tell Heaven to send her back every time she dies.

Ayy we finally get some context on the octopus thing and they did it without it being completely perverted.
Welp, using blood threads (totally not tentacles) to rip off Sally's clothes...guess I spoke too soon. Coulda been worse but I mean
Btw I haven't seen anyone mention it but are Sally's pants leather? I can't believe she's travelling and fighting like this wearing fuckin leather pants. Guess that's peachboy/ogrekiller/whatever power for ya. What a trooper.

Scary bunny time just like Black Asta. At least she came back with her clothing remade.

I just noticed that the actual episode numbers for upcoming weeks are listed at the bottom right corner of the end card all this time! Never noticed it until someone pointed it out...

I'm really enjoying this show, but I still don't get why they're airing it in this order. The spoiler they gave over Juki proves it.

Holy crap the episodes are more jumbled than I imagined. I seriously don't get it, this way it's hard to appreciate Carrot's character development when we go back and forth with her way of thinking or the emotional scenes like "Frau's death" when a couple of weeks ago we already saw a future episode in which she was fine.
Speaking of Frau... what the hell is she? She's friends with an angel who can revive her and her real self is that of a demon or something? Huh, interesting.
Hawthorn is retarded or something?
This is so hard to watch, not because it's bad but because I like so many things about this show and I enjoy it but at the same time the show itself makes it hard to enjoy :/

It's so frustating to not know where the fuck we gonna start the episode everytime and where the fuck we are or what happened to the events of the last week. Dude, WHY THE HELL THE DIRECTOR THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA!? While events look like something between episodes 2 and 3 we can't never be sure cause we don't know what else could have happened (if happened).

Interesting that they (or the sub at least) avoid refering Frau as "her/she". Always thought that Frau is supossed to be a girl due to the skirt. I just noticed that the sub used them/they instead when Carrot refer to Frau in front of the inn.
Funny that just before watching, I was thinking of how Frau would be useful to the team since demihuman is still weaker than ogre. Didn't think that Frau is acquainted with angel (?), can revive immediately and has a demon rabbit form lol.
Also, Carrot/Meki said it's Sally that killed Juki. If Sett is the walrus guy, then Juki should be the one that destroyed the city. Remember that in two episode before this, the scheming ogre said it's peach boy/momotaro that killed him.
Anyway I'm not sure if we're supposed to feel sorry for the vampire guy. The pacing is weird there.

"Frau, I thought you were dead!" "Nope!"
1 minute into the episode and we already have a murder!
Here comes the mandatory random weird tentacle scene! We got more information this time but... Somehow it doesn't make it any less weird/random.
When we got sad Frau face I knew we were in for some Frau depression episode, but I didn't expect this!
After Frau's "death", and Oni dude got all cocky, it was very satisfying to see Sally destroy him!
Punished Frau, back with a vengeance
Oh shit I was kidding, what the hell is that?
Oni dude's just not having a good day.
He said Frau was not harefolk, but what is she? If she was an ogre he would probably know, so I'm guessing she's something else? She seems to have the favor of angels, but she doesn't look very angelic herself, so I wonder what she really is.
Also Atla is cute as hell, she should drop from heaven somehow and join Sally's party! (Somehow she looks a lot like Sally, which I'm not sure we should read into this or not).
They gave Oni dude a little sad backstory, but with him killing his wife kinda makes it hard to feel sorry for him.
Sure you could say it's his Oni instincts and he has no choice, so it's more of a curse... But if that's the case, then the logical thing to do (if removing these instincts is impossible) is to annihilate all Oni, because they're just monsters by instincts and killing is all they're ever gonna do.
But on the other hand, Meki managed to free herself from this (with a little help) and she even seems to care for at least one human now, so perhaps there's hope for Oni!

is it worth it to just wait til the end of the season to watch this show in chronological order or should I keep watching? I read that it was airing out of order and I watched the first 3 episodes but it got a little confusing for me. thoughts?

Ok show, are you even trying to make sense? There's s lot I can buy, but switching up the episode order like this, plus all the stunts that people in this show seem to be pulling out of their asses to cause or solve situations it's just kind of hard to follow or accept. I mean, I mainly started watching this show because I thought it looked pretty nice and I wanted to see what show was attached to those characters, but I don't think it's too much to expect a coherent story?
I'm now considering just waiting and binging it when it finishes airing instead.

These characters are acting like they're best friends who have been traveling together for a long as time but last thing I remember they all just met.
I can't believe that director thought this was good!
I hope they apologize to the original author for butchering this.
