Anyway, for the next leg of the series, I’ve found my running gag for this thread (believe me, I’ve got ones planned for the next 4). I’m going to do my own song lyrics which vaguely describe the next episode (not to the point of being spoiler filled, since most of the choices are random)
Everything changes, changes
Changin' all the time
Playin' with your mind
Modified or rearranged
Everything has got to change
- Everything Changes, Pokémon 2.B.A Master
Thanks for the song lyrics! It definitely feels appropriate, based on the Next Episode teaser.
Also, can't believe I didn't notice this until now, but Eiki is the Sharp Demon. Sharp, like a
musical note
. Amazing.

I went into the back half of the two-parter now understanding the gravity of it all. Why the monster is a Tsuchigumo again, and why Hibiki is on a quest to make a new drumstick, exactly as he was at the start of the show. They
knew
. They straight up knew this would be their final set of episodes to tell the version of Hibiki they wanted to, and that's why, like any good finale, there are loads of callbacks to the beginning of the series. This is, without a doubt in my mind, the final episode of Hibiki. It was such an obvious and conscious decision to have the
entire
cast in one room at the very end, especially, like everyone walking on-stage at the end of a play or something, that makes it all the more apparent.
So yeah, like Die says, there are lots of fun things to talk about with the action, too. To sum it up, you can really tell Osamu Kaneda was the director, but
man
that is just not what's going to stick with anybody about these ones.
I meant to bring up all of the earlier call backs (same Douji/Hime, fighting a giant spider in the woods, saving Asumu, broken drumstick, the whole Live Your Life moral) but I got distracted and forgot, so thank you for mentioning them!
Yeah, everything about these two episodes (less the Mister Douji and Miss Hime stuff) says that it's folks who are finishing their statement, for better or worse.

It
is
like Daguva! Yes! Great point. The way it already happened before the episode starts, the blurry flashbacks, the way the violence seems like a higher level than what we've seen before... yeah, Daguva!
