Really, if this is the major complaint of one episode in a series praised by almost everyone, Urobuchi Gen is doing something right.

It's also a possibility that Kouta was entering shock. Additionally, Kouta has been established as someone who freezes in fear. Really, with everything he endured in that day, why wouldn't he?

Anyway, the Hase thing was spoiled for me. (hi, Suzu!)

Wow, way to make me feel worse ;_; I didn't mean to spoiler everyone and I tried to avoid it and then yeah... discussions happened and I was already down that night, so...
I'm so sorry ;_____;

I wound up spoiling people long before that thanks to the live stream. Unintentionally of course, but still you weren't the first :(

If they are getting at the Apple = Forbidden Fruit thing, I like how they're subtlety working it in. Hase is now the second human turned Invess that tried to eat an apple first out of all the other 'human' fruit in front of it.

Also, are we being led to believe that all the 'basic' Invess in Helheim are animals from the 'Human World' side of the rips that wandered over and ate the fruit? If so, it makes even more sense then that the more 'evolved' Invess come from the more 'evolved' creatures; humans.
