Animator 1 : so episode 1-4 is prologue and episode 6 is when everthing got serious and hit up
Animator 2 : what about episode 5 ??
Animator 1 : ........
Animator 2 : ........

This episode the second part feels like it's not cannon

I have a feeling this is the "calm before the storm" episode, a very chill and random filler before we get to angsty and depressing arc.

It's kind of a call back to the Ura Sai comedic moments that the old version had before the serious bits started hitting hard.

I miss ura Sai moments they had some hilarious ones

The second half, yes, but that first half with Zakuro is actually important.

I almost forgot all about him with how they made it more comical here than in gunlock.

That guy ha some cool illusion power

This episode was all over the place but it was pretty hilarious.

When the took us to the movies I was so confused at first...

I love Gojyo😂he's all laughing at the 'traitor'
I actually remember this Zakuro guy that's hilarious haha
But how do you mistake Goku for a human? Everyone knows his band is a power limiter just seeing it on him everyone should know he's demon. Guess that's the joke low class demons don't realize such things.

lmao wtf is this

A comedy break

The usual comic moments of calm before the storm for Saiyuuki xD

4:58 That's some creative embellishment, Lol!!!
12:07 Always that one in the theater, Lol!!!
12:54 That would seriously cut down on the bootlegging, Lmao!!!
21:31 Yoo, them smacks. Lmao!!!

What a hilarious diversion from the main story, good ideal instead of doing a recap episode.

Kougaiji peeling potatotes 😂😂

At least Zakuro's hair wasn't purple this time.

God my expectations for this episode got trashed so bad.

So we're at the movies now? lol

Ok, the preview was basically Detective Conan: Mystery of the Manor Case Part 1, 2, 3, 4. The one mystery where Conan and Hatori Heiji discovered who gets killed between the rich relatives and every one of the 6-7 brothers, until the last part where... And I won't spoil more for those of you who wish to watch.

I would watch that movie! XD

Ah, yes.
SAIYUKI and its random humour moments.😂
Minekura sensei just love popping those in the middle of her story, like - no big deal, folks.🤷‍♀️
As if it ain't completely busting the atmosphere and narrative she built up.

I always feel like, to anybody who would point out the sheer absurdity of that, she'd just channel her inner Kwannon Boddhisatva and deadpan retort :
'I like it. So what? Give me and my characters a break, we've got enough crap to deal with.
Or else, I'll take holidays.'
.... with so much sass.😎
She's kinda punk, in a way.

Story-wise, despite being unexpected, and mostly comedic, the Zakuro episodes are important.
It's building up for later.

Nice to see the animators brought back the Ura-sai snippet ! 😉

But, dang I never thought they would animate the special haunted house chapter as well. Even Minekura said she only drew this one because she had too much pages lefts to fill by the end of 2nd course's book 8 😆
She even wrote " Don't take that seriously. " at the end ! 🤣

Guess the animators just followed her example : added their own end to the story before transitionning to the preview ; instead of working properly on the tiny remaining time... 🤣🤣🤣

What the hell?? 😓 I'm confused

Its a comedic break before the storm

Oh no!!! I'm... B O R E D

i was waiting ura sai since episode 1 but there's none, and here it comes in randomly wholesome episode XD why must gojyo's the one who died and become zombie omg i laughed so much

Well that was strange half way through the episode I see an ad about what to avoid at movie theaters.

And got to see a short movie film that, didn’t reveal who the killer was (thought it was the one who controls the zombies). Was a nice short story that introduced a lot of characters quick.

Form the comments I have seen that. Things are about to get real. The previous episodes were all chill and no spice. Episode 6 is gonna get chilly and looking forward to watch it.

Atleast tell who's the culprit dammit!!

It's Ni. In one way or another, Ni Jianyi / Ukoku is always behind it.

🤣🤣 can't deny that one.
Ni Jianyi's lifelong love is just screwing around.

Don't expect it 😂
Minekura never drew the end, it was just meant to be a joke, through and through.
(Just like the amount of pages she was left with by her editor, on the manga book she drew it on : too big for a little sketch, too short for another chapter.🙄 Sassy queen just gave back a joke for a joke😈🤣)
