Do you like delicious ethnic cooking? Do you like tension? Do you like learning about new cultures? Do you like historical dramas? Do you like American Westerns but without the "American" or "Western" part? Do you like creative violence? Do you like animals?
Golden Kamuy (currently one 12 episode season exists, a second second is set to start two weeks from now) is a story set in the snow-fields of Hokkaido/northern Japan after the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Freshly returned from the front lines, Saichi Sugimoto, nicknamed "Immortal Sugimoto" for his seemingly demonic ability to not die no matter how brutal the fighting got, is trying to panhandle for gold to raise money to take his deceased best friend's widow to a doctor in America when he hears a strange tale of a secret map to stolen Ainu gold and sets off on a journey with Asirpa, an indigenous Ainu girl who's bucking the traditions of her people by acting more like a male Ainu does, and who's looking to recover her people's gold as her father was one of the people murdered when it was first stolen.
I'm trying to keep the description light because this shit is ridiculously unpredictable and a wild ride and the less you know about it beforehand, the better. But also interspersed between all of the ridiculous plot twists and tense moments, you'll also learn a lot about the Ainu people, their traditions, cooking style, hunting tricks, and why they name their children "Poop."
Also worst bear CGI you've ever seen in your life.

Every time I hear about this, it'like someone took an old-timey adventure novel and adapted it to anime.

Watched the first two episodes and I'm definitely enjoying it. The bear lore is super interesting (can't eat bears who've eaten humans and the bad bears who don't hibernate 
), I really like the matter-of-factness of the violence and slightly gory stuff like skinning (it's neither glorified nor tragic, just... how shit goes), and the historical context is served up in a really enjoyable way (not IN YOUR FACE EDUCATIONAL, but you learn a ton organically). Looking forward to watching more.
It's still crazy to me that Japan has a popular anime sympathetic to Ainu people in 2018 when they didn't even officially acknowledge the Ainu until 2008.

GOD DAMN
GOD DAMN
- Spoiler:
- Comfy spring snacks
- Just the man you want to see at your door when you live in the middle of nowhere
- NEKO-CHANNNNN
- Is Tsurumi going to kill everyone?
- Ohhh it's the gravedigger from the last episode
- Using human skins to create clothes
- What the FUCK
- He's fucking crazy
- WHAT IS HE WEARING
- "PLATE-FOR-BRAINS"
- AND TSURUMI IS FEEDING INTO IT
- What
- The
- FUCK
- Am
- I
- Watching
- And now he's telling him to shoot his dead mom's taxidermied corpse in the head and she's shrieking as if she's alive
- All to get him to make fake skins to screw up everyone else looking for skins. What the fuck, man?
- Sniper-kun knows that Nopperabo is probably Ainu from how the stolen gold/kills occurred
- Ohohohoooo, so Hijikata is assuming Nopperabo is not necessarily an Ainu but a Russian "partisan" looking to raise funds to help take over Russia. And Asirpa's uncle did say he was Russian
- That dream with Nopperabo having a scar face
- D'awwww Tanigaki has gone (back to being) native
- And now he's got a little Kohai who reminds him of him
- AND HIS NAME IS BONER
- Go away Fortune-Teller Lady
- D'awwww little Poop has a crush on Tanigaki
- Annnnd of course this woman is a double agent (but she has a thing for men with scars, we just saw that Nopperabo has a scar, so she's totally betraying Tsurumi at some point too)

- Spoiler:
-spring in the forest
-taxidermy? this isn't going to go anywhere good, is it
-the cat is somehow the creepiest OH WHEW, IT'S ALIVE
-goddamn, I've forgotten everyone's names other than the main 3
-why aren't they showing us the mother, there's something suspicious going on there
-oh god, all those people are taxidermied aren't they
-he likes the hand glove
Of course he does
-at least one of the taxidermied people is giving good advice, I guess?
-the one that was giving good advice says to stuff and mount him. DAMNIT, I TRUSTED YOU, BALD TAXIDERMIED GUY!!
-WHAT THE FUCK THAT MASK
-he starts sparkling when he reveals his tattoo-skin shirt
this show is so fucked up, why are all the murderers so weirdly sexual
-WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
-and the other soldier's looking for an ear match
-WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THIS SHOW?? I'm laughing hard enough to be on the verge of tears while my mouth and nose are making a face of disgust and my eyebrows are saying "what the fuck?!"
-fake tattoos, Lt. Tsurumi is a genius
-delicious Ainu food! I've missed this show
-her "new kind of Ainu woman" idea came from her dad
-Come on, don't cut off there, what does she have to remember?? Or at least give us a better look at his face!
-Tanigaki likes the kid because he's interested in hunting and his name means "boner," making him just like the hunter-guy he worked with before, it's adorable but also weird
-I'm super-mad that the fortune-teller's come to invade Asirpa's village
-...she's warning about one of them being a traitor? What's her angle here? I don't buy that she's just trying to help Asirpa (and which traitor does she know about?)
-Osoma's angry crying face
-All this time, I thought Osoma was a boy!
-ohhh, she's with Tsurumi, good thinking, Tsurumi. But is Fox-lady going double-agent here, or triple-agent?

My brain just got melted down
My brain just got melted down
- Spoiler:
- What the fuck is he WEARI- HE MADE A TSURUMI
- Half the new opening is a comfy cooking anime and suddenly the fucking freakshow starts
- SNIPER-KUN IN THE HOUSE
- And he's not phased at all by the freaky shit
- Awriiight gunfight between Sniper and the other guy
- EDOGAI IS ESCAPING DRESSED AS A BEAR
- Shiraishi is such a bad actor
- Dear god that bag
- And of course, it's a goddamn mine cart chase
- That Shiraishi wall-run after he almost split
- DYNAMITE RIP EVERYONE
- RIP, Edogai, you were the freakiest
- YOSHHHH IMMORTAL SUGIMOTO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT LACK OF OXYGEN
- HOLY SHIT WHERE THE FUCK DID USHIYAMA COME FROM
- She still has the fishcake
- Hooray, the true face-to-face meeting of an undisguised Hijiikata Toshizou and Immortal Sugimoto
- And Hijiikata plays along with Shiraishi playing dumb
- And Sniper-kun transfixed on Asirpa about to mention "My father", this guy is gonna make a move of his own soon
- The belly rumbling ruins the mood, remember at least 1/3rd of this is a cooking anime
- WHY ARE THEY EATING LUNCH WITH TAXIDERM- OH MY FUCKING GOD THE LAST SUPPER
-
- We're done, anime can't top this
- (Sugimoto as St Peter, keeper of the Gates of Heaven, Shiraishi The Escape King is in the spot of the only apostle who dies of natural causes. Asirpa's uncle is in Judas' spot. Hijiikata is Simon the Zealot. This is more than just "let's make a goofy reference")
- Sugimoto even saying Sniper's gonna turn on everyone
- "No fighting during lunch"
- Tsurumi smelling the fake skins
- And that's tricky fucking business as a way to disguise the skins

- Spoiler:
-the skin costumes get weirder and weirder
-wtf, he made a Lt. Tsurumi, I can't decide if this is funny or just horrifying
-new intro is much more lighthearted to match the spring
-didn't the sniper guy have long hair in a ponytail last season?
-when he grabs the pistol with the bayonet
-A polar bear
-I feel like the backgrounds have more of a hand-painted, sketchy quality to them this season, I like it
-oh god, even his bag has a face
-a trolley car chase with an insane taxidermy-dressing taxidermist in love with Tsurumi and currently dressed like a polarbear, I have no idea how I'll even be able to tell if this show goes too far into its own weirdness and becomes terrible
-mining doesn't seem like the kind of job you'd want to do nearly naked
-"My pants are gonna split," I think he should be worried about more than just his pants
-oh shit, they're in a gas pocket
-IMMORTAL SUGIMOTO
-all the bodies so close to the blocked exit gives such a hopeless feel
-survived a mine explosion, carried Shiraishi all the way through the gas-filled mine, half-dead of gas poisoning, and then when he sees the exit blocked off, starts smashing through the solid wood planks, fucking Immortal Sugimoto
-Head-block guy?!??
-she still has the fucking fish cake
-TEAM-UP!!
-oh shit, Hijikata
-Shiraishi sweating bullets and Hijikata plays along
- Nopperabou's face in that prison scene did not look right. It's too dark to see much, but it almost looks like he has no skin?
-Sniper's attention on Asirpa about to say something about her father, he's one to watch here.
-this massively tense show-down broken with a rumbling stomach, glad they didn't forget this is a cooking show
-Woah, the Last Supper, with Asirpa as Jesus. Kiroranke's in the Judas position, not Shiraishi. Glad you know more about them than I do, Bomaye, b/c that's as far as my knowledge of Christianity/art takes me (but don't die, Shiraishi!). Do you know anything about Sniper's guy?
-a mostly-friendly dinner among enemies
-Sugimoto and Sniper verbally going at each other but get shut down with "no fighting during lunch"
-Now only Tsurumi can tell the fakes, that was a good trick
-he said five fake skins, but they made six, so the one the cat found is probably a fake
-the end animation shows Nopperabo's face?? They've made such a secret of it like there's something important? I don't think they're being totally honest there, maybe that's his face as it used to be...

We saw Nopperabo's face in Asirpa's dream sequence last episode, but yeah, the silhouette they've been showing of Nopperabo in prison makes it seem like he has no face at all

- Spoiler:
-it's weird how quickly they've managed to flip me to rooting for the apparent bad guys, as soon as they're trapped in the house on fire, I'm like "nooo, don't go out and get shot, creepy murder-house black widow-prisoner-serial killer!!" I mean, some of it is that they're teamed up with the heroes now, and they were already friendly with Block-head, and Sniper has always been a bit more sympathetically portrayed but still, it's not like I trust them one bit.
-oh god, he's wearing an ear-hat
-so long, Bowl Head Tsurumi
-sniping them to make them go for the door, where Hijikata methodically blasts at them with the shotgun
-there's nipples on top of the ear-hat
-here come reinforcements!
-Ogata getting repeatedly smashed in the head and then he smiles - and Sugimoto charges in
-"what, do you want a 'thank you?'"
-wait, why is Sniper 'bat man'?
-I love how the absolute instant Earless turns his back on Hijikata, his leg is gone so fast he doesn't realize it happened, maybe I'm just rooting for these guys because they're badass
-I definitely think Nopperabou's face is gone or something, this show likes that kind of thing a little too much
-"So for now, we can assume we share the same goal?" And then that cocky smile and "we'll both do whatever we feel like."
-Unless we see his body actually burn all the way to death, I'm not trusting Earless is dead yet
-oh good, the cat's okay
-hunting lesson! I've been missing the nature-y stuff! There's a lot more characters and plot with the team-ups, plus it being a less harsh environment in spring, so there's a lot less of that 'trying to stay alive in a great, overwhelming wilderness that can make or break you' feeling lately.
-her expression and plucking the feathers into Sugimoto's face because he pointed out she didn't catch enough for everyone
-Ogata got more than Asirpa!!
-"Wow, he's annoying"
-"And you're jealous because you can't hit shit with a gun"
-Asirpa trying to convince Blockhead to eat the brains while Sugimoto on the side is eating it and sparkling like he's in a shoujo romance
-Blockhead gives in to the pressure and then Ogata just flatly refuses and the look on Sugimoto and Blockhead's faces
-I was low-key laughing at a lot of this bit but when Sugimoto puts up his hand to tattle on Ogata for not saying "Chitatap" while he's chopping I completely lost it
-and her face and her voice
-Blockhead's a convert, but Ogata might take time to join the cult of Ainu cuisine
-The kid's so happy at the idea of pretending to be a family, and I'm thinking it's all poignant and emotional, and then he starts making up a super-complicated family soap opera that includes boob-grabbing and giant testicles
-"I'm waiting for his light to go out."
-"but when you swung your sword it was a thing of beauty, and beautiful things should be left alive"
-why does Sugimoto dislike Ogata so much? He's been fine with everyone else who's tried to kill him, I don't remember Ogata doing anything worse than anyone else.
-HE FIGURED OUT SHIRAISHI WAS BETRAYING THEM
-okay, this red light murder scene is clearly not real, so the whole thing's probably just going to be Shiraishi's guilty imagination and he didn't even figure it out, damn
-yup, dream
-Shiraishi skillfully sneaks off in the night and runs right into the entire 7th division, he's so useless

- Spoiler:
- Is Asirpa riding on Ushiyama's back?
- What the FUCK, twin guy. Talking into the ear
- Double-team by Ogata and Hijikata, Sniper and Shotgun duo
- Ogata stabbing for the heart and then Sugimoto saves him. Probably could've let the Sniper die tbh
- HOLY FUCK HIJIKATA JUST SLICED THE TWIN'S FOOT OFF FASTER THAN HE COULD REALIZE
- Sick sounds effects of him still trying to walk on it
- And were back to comfy Ainu adventures in the forest
- Ogata puffs out his chest because he shot more woodcocks than Asirpa trapped
- Sugimoto's such a nerd throughout this entire segment, getting excited for chittatap and brains while the others are like
- And suddenly scary-as-fuck Ushiyama withering because he's afraid to eat brains while Sugimoto is starry-eyed over them
- OGATA YOU FUCK YOU'RE NOT CHANTING
- Also Boner is a little perverted shit
- D'awww, the old guys are talking but you see them thinking of each other as their young selves while they're talking (not Hijikata but the other guy's young version is voiced by One Piece's Zoro, the show's swordsman).
- These poor fools have to rely on Shiraishi now
- OH NOOOOO SUGIMOTO FOUND OUT
- I do think it's interesting that Shiraishi's brutal murder-dream Sugimoto did say "If you would've told me, I would've forgiven you."
- This fucking dork and sneaking skills
- OH
- MY
- GOD
- SHIRAISHI YOU'RE FUCKING TERRIBLE AT THIS

- Spoiler:
- NIN NIN
- Honestly, how is Shiraishi alive? Every time he turns around, some animal, person or group of people wants to kill him or capture him
- Yeah, I should probably just start randomly chanting indigenous words for "BOOBS" too
- Dohohoooooo I was wondering if Hijiikata meant to grill Uncle-san by teaming up with him, he totally figured him out
- Master of Disguise, Hijiikata
- Also this evil bridge with a sword that eats people is a perfect place for Hijiikata
- Aw man, afraid of Sugimoto so Shiraishi would rather go to enemy HQ
- And everyone's memory of him is being a fucking idiot
- Nikkaidou Twin hopped up on morphine and Tsurumi training him like a dog, as if he needed to crazier
- Tsurumi having a little sniff too
- This new guy is deaf, so him and Tsurumi just passionately yell about everything
- And he's suddenly concerned that his new weapons are gonna kill people
- Tsurumi is a real fucker. Growing Poppy fields because Opium as a painkiller will be in-demand if his wars come to pass
- What the fuck at the injured person who just randomly walked in
- He put a shotgun shell in his fake leg, because of course he did
- And they start laughing at the doctor and happily chant "THANK YOU FOR THE NEW LEG", what in the fuck is wrong with this fucking anime
- Aw man, Sugimoto realized that Shiraishi was betraying him
- ... What are they even doing? Having Sugimoto fake being Nopperabo?

- Spoiler:
-"Nin nin!"
-Black widow sounds excited when she says maybe Shiraishi's already been flayed and killed
-the bean candy seller wearing a bean hat, that's adorable (and a silly costume that doesn't involve something dead? What is this show coming to!?)
-the kid chanting "boobs! boobs! boobs!"
-Nopperabou's real name? As in, Nopperabou's a nickname rather than just his Japanese registration name? Ohshit, I just realized I've heard that name before, I'm pretty sure in a collection of folktales? ...Yup, just looked it up, and it's a blank-faced ghost that sometimes takes on the face of someone you know! ...Fuck
-they let their prisoner run off and buy candy?!
-Holy fuck, it's Hijikata in the hat
-the art style for the story about the cursed sword
-Hijikata is an Ipetam that climbed out of the bottomless swamp
-Shiraishi desperately reaching for rescue with his bound hands and shouting "I could get rid of these any time I wanted"
-he sees the image of Sugimoto murdering him and hesitates and gets knocked under
-And then again when he lands on shore to a 7th regiment soldier. Giving up because being captured means he doesn't have to face Sugimoto about his betrayal
-the ridiculous faces Shiraishi's making in their visions of him and then they're just like "well, who cares"
-But Sugimoto's gonna save him anyway
-Training Earless off of morphine like a naughty puppy (and he's still wearning that hat)
-Even the non-allied villains are getting sillier and sillier
-their secret shouted conversation
-"these weapons ripped apart our own men in a rain of blood and gore, it was beautiful!"
-"YOUR HEAD IS MESSED UP, TSURUMI!" "CORRECT! I'M MISSING MY FRONTAL LOBES!'
-Growing poppies b/c opium will be in high demand once they start endless wars
-who the fuck was that other person he shoved out of the way?? The entire 7th division storyline has just gone insane
-a gun leg
-"thank you, Oji-san-I-don't-know"
-Past Asirpa's bedtime. I feel like she's getting a lot less to do and being treated more like a child now that there's a bigger group of adults and they're not in the wilderness. Actually, I think Hijikata and maybe even Tsurumi are getting more screen-time than either her or Sugimoto.
-Disguise-master's pretty good
-Sugimoto remembering when they met Hijikata before and going to collect Asirpa away from him before saying anything
-HE FIGURED OUT SHIRAISHI WAS WITH THEM!!!!
-"there's no allies or enemies, just information"
-"Someone who betrays you once will betray you again and again" and then Asirpa tells him not to kill anyone he doesn't have to
-And he goes to rescue Shiraishi anyway
-i-s that Sugimoto pretending to be Nopperabou or what? And if so, how did they do that without telling Asirpa her father's had his face ripped off or whatever?

- Spoiler:
- Surely, faceless Sugimoto is a metaphor for something instead of a hilarious joke
- Counterfeit money to sow economic chaos in a time of war, this is next-level shit
- Tsurumi biting the receiver because he's so anxious
- Shiraishi immediately knows what's going on as soon as he steps into the room
- Man, the Tsurumi messenger knows the Abashiri Warden speaks a different dialect, and the guy actually knows it, he's awesome
- HOLY
- FUCK
- THOSE
- SHOTS
- HE'S IMMORTALLLLL
- Ogata with the "He's immortal, he'll be fine" when Sugimoto has two bullets in him, even the villains are believing it
- Stealing a hot air balloon
- Of course we're going to have a serious swordfight here
- Ha, caught an Asirpa
- Annnnd the messenger guy has a picture of Tsurumi in his pocket, oh boy
- D'awww, Shiraishi was feeding Hijiikata fake skins and Sugimoto caught it
- Sex demons
- God damn Ogata killed two deer with one shot
- And the sex demons have Shiraishi
- Looks like Sugimoto can finally... kill himself?
- Bad men feel less pain because they don't have human hearts. Having to destroy themselves in order to fight on the battlefield
- "What do you love to eat besides shit"
- Fucking Sugimoto covering his eyes because he's sad as fuck about what he's become/what war's done to him while Asirpa wants to see his homeland and have him eat a dried persimmon so maybe he can turn back to who he used to be, aren't you supposed to make us laugh with shotgun fake legs instead of FEELS
- AHAHAHAHAHAHA SHIRAISHI NAKED WITH THE DEER THERE IT IS

- Spoiler:
-just a random faceless criminal. You know, as criminals are
-Faceless Sugimoto advancing on the guy with that creepy expression and creepy voice
-counterfeit money during war for economic chaos, I like the way this show gives you different angles on war & what it's about than a lot of things do
-Tsurumi is smart enough to see through genius con artist immediately but doesn't know not to eat the telephone
-Con artist even knows the dialect Inudou's supposed to know
-OH SHIT!
-Holy fuck, Sugimoto took a bullet for Shiraishi!
-"Sugimoto got shot" "he's immortal, right?" COLD
-Tsurumi's underling desperately swimming in the air
-Koito's massive, high-speed rant in a dialect that no one (including the viewer) can understand
-USELESSSHIRAISHI BUNGEE-JUMPS HIM OUT OF THE BALLOON
-and emerges from the trees with Asirpa riding him
-Koito carries around a photo of Tsurumi. That dude certainly inspires, uh, loyalty
-"I believed in you. That's why I decided to save you"
-and then he whams him with the revelation that he knows, complete with nightmare murder-voice
-SHIRAISHI GAVE HIJIKATA A FAKE!!!!
-Wait, Shiraishi's reaction is like he didn't know it was a fake?! but why would he have had a fake and not known it? And then doesn't that mean that Sugimoto's trust is based on a lie? Maybe he's just surprised that Sugimoto figured it out? But if he had the ace of "it's a fake," up his sleeve the whole time, why be so scared of him?
-Shiraishi blows off the sex gods, he's so going to land up stripping naked and dancing
-Ogata is such a showoff, two deer with one bullet (I like how Asirpa's first reaction is for Sugimoto even though the sniper's right there and she thinks he's a bad shot, Sugimoto's who she counts on to work as a team).
-the gods got Shiraishi
-Shiraishi naked and cuddling the deer corpse while the others are racing off desperately looking for him
-oh noo, Sugimoto trying to shoot a deer when it's their best shot at survival and flashing back to that other deer he couldn't kill b/c it was him
-he did it ...except it's also metaphorically killing himself to survive, so kind of
-"Bad men don't have human hearts, so they feel less pain than other people." Wait, what??
-Then he admits that's just what he's tried to tell himself
-"On the battlefield, you need to destroy yourself and become someone else if you want to survive."
-he doesn't seem to put himself fully in the category of those who were able to return to who they were or those whose hearts are still on the battlefield
-he's telling his deep feelings about the trauma of war and she's eating deer liver
-when she asks if he'll go back to how he was before the war once he eats dried persimmons again and he starts crying
-awww, he was so young and happy
-SHIRAISHI'S HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE DEER'S ASS I'M DYING

-Wait, Shiraishi's reaction is like he didn't know it was a fake?! but why would he have had a fake and not known it? And then doesn't that mean that Sugimoto's trust is based on a lie?
- Spoiler:
The taxidermist made six fake skins, but Tsurumi only got 5 before his house started burning down, Hijiikata found the one fake skin left behind. It's possible that that was the one Sugimoto mistook for one that Shiraishi gave to Hijiikata, or Sugimoto's just pretending to give him an out

- Hmm, either way is an interesting choice. They sort of made it seem like Sugimoto's confident about Shiraishi now and like he's right to be, so it seems more likely to be the latter, I'd say. Unless the writers are total assholes who want to repeatedly make Sugimoto find out Shiraishi's betrayed him just to put us through the wringer...

- What a fucking monster
- Eating his mochi and recognizing the accent, he knows where the guy is
- Holy fuck, Russians were strapping grenades to themselves and suicide bombing the Japanese
- OH GOD, Tanigaki's guy saved him from a suicide bomber
- Ogata cameooo, the guy's so fucked up that he doesn't even know Tanigaki is there to kill him
- FUCK
- He killed and burned her to prevent the family from being shunned by the village because she caught smallpox
- Tanigaki feeds him the mochi so he'll recognize that Tanigaki heard his story and his last words
- Just fuck me up, I was ready for some Golden Kamuy hijinx, not having my feels atom-bombed from orbit

- Spoiler:
-storm's over and the world is pretty
-oh no, granny's making her burial shroud, no no nononooo
-"She fed me too, so I'm one of her kids"
-"you're her gigolo"
-who is he remembering there?
-Matagi food lesson! That sounds pretty good, actually
-the look on his face when the other guy notices there's something different in his kanemochi
-oh shit, the fire was just a cover for the fact that he murdered the sister
-I guess it was his mother he pictured when he was thinking about granny
-Sugimoto right after that total massacre suicide run
-Even Tsurumi's voice gets dark and serious and quiet when he's remembering about the suicide grenade runners
-he finally finds Kenkichi, and he's throwing himself on a grenade runner to save them all
-holding the knife over Kenkichi's chest, hands shaking, about to get his revenge in spite of everything, and he says the sister's name
-can't go through with it
-asking to deliver a message, not realizing he's speaking to the person he wanted to send the message to
-oh no, she had smallpox, and he only killed her to spare her a worse death and protect her family, goddamn
-and he's felt guilty all this time, a guy we've never seen before this episode and this fucking show manages to make me this sad for him
-and Tanigaki gives him a bite of the remaining kanemochi so he'll know it's him and he heard the confession :'(
-his almost-expression when he tells Tsurumi he doesn't know what his role is and Tsurumi answers that he needs him
-After all that, seeing Asirpa dancing the Crane dance while the others peacefully watch around a cooking fire under a bright blue sky feels sad, just from how warm it is

- Spoiler:
- "Gigolo" Asirpa believes Boner
- PARTY TIME, GUYS
- Sugimoto doing the oi-oi-oi chant thing for the bear. He's totally going native if they survive this
- Everything is kamuy
- "Btw Tanigaki didn't kill the guys, a fucking bear did"
- Aw Huci's dreams are somewhat prophetic so even though Asirpa doesn't really believe the traditions, she does believe Huci
- Bear Killer had a son who died in the war, which means Tanigaki is now his ghost-son and will probably have to mark the rifle eventually
- RYU THE DOG
- Sugimoto you fucking nerd
- THE DOG BITES HIM AS HE'S CRYING ABOUT IT
- Koito asks for old pictures of Tsurumi, knows his personal history and then wants to PASTE HIS OWN PICTURE ON IT I'M DYING
- The fucking scream when Tsurumi pops into the room holy shit
- Koito rips off his shirt to show the copied skins and then blushes when Tsurumi gets close to his abs
- Ogata was the seppuku'd 7th's son?
- Illegitimate son oh shit
- Why is there blood on his fingers
- The mom went crazy and made the same thing every night hoping the guy would come back
- And Ogata originally picked up a gun just to get something different to eat
- Annnnnd then he poisoned mom just to see if Dad would show up to funeral
- HOLY FUCK HE STABBED HIS FATHER
- "Perhaps a child born between parents that lack love comes out missing something..." The voice actor is just perfect for this monologue
- And he had a smiling younger brother who was completely happy to call him his older brother even though he's illegitimate, and "this was a boy who'd grown up beloved by his parents"
- He fucking
- Shot his brother in the back of the head
- Just to see if his father would start paying attention to him
- His father puts a curse on him and he just smiles, his father finally cared enough about him to do something
- And Ogata's the only guy who sees through Tsurumi's charm
- BEACH JUMP

- Spoiler:
-Boner saying Inkarmat's family, while Asirpa and Sugimoto look wary, I think there's going to be heartache here somewhere down the line no matter what
-Inkarmat totally goes along with the family story of the fine-with-boob-grabbing sister and her gigolo while Tanigaki's like
-Asirpa's face when she says "gigolo"
-bear-hunting send-off ceremony!!
-Sugimoto immediately joins in with the shout even though he has no idea what's going on, he's so into Ainu living
-kamuy can do things that people can't do, but they think of them as equals and exchange things only humans can do, and even give them things that grant them status in the kamuy world, this is an interesting Ainu culture lesson, not just because we haven't had one in a while
-Sugimoto's "even in the afterlife, if you have lots of gold you'll be happy," and that concerned look Asirpa gives him
-Huci's dream predicted her daughter's death so Asirpa takes it seriously because Huci will
-Sugimoto offers for them to go back to disprove Huci's prophecy, but Asirpa takes it as treating her like a child
-"Nihei turned me back from a soldier back into a Matagi." It seems like that's somewhat the theme of this season, how people turn back from being soldiers by finding a connection with tradition and culture and the physical world
-Sugimoto brought to tears by the possibility that the dog was following Nihei's gun
-and then it bites him
-New team-up of slightly more trustworthy people than previous team-up?
-Koita pastes his face onto the photo with Tsurumi-sempai while the guy whose face he's covering up glares
-Takes a deep breath, talks more slowly and clearly, still in high-speed dialect that no one can understand
-he can talk in standard dialect/speed to the other guy, he's just so excited by Tsurumi talking to him that he can't
-oh my god, he takes off his jacket to show that he's wearing the tattoo-shirt! And he's sparkling!
-he just keeps collapsing and reviving and sparkling, collapsing and sparkling, and now his face is frozen in a scary smile, how the fuck is his heart going to survive the roller-coaster if he's working directly with Tsurumi
-Holy fuck, Ogata's father was the commander who ordered that suicide run and then killed himself and his men were blamed, I wonder if this is why Sugimoto seems to hate Ogata disproportionately much
-he started being a sniper to catch birds to try and snap his mom out of obsessively making monkfish stew every day in hopes his dad who abandoned them would come back to eat it
-so he poisoned her to get him to come to the funeral, what the fuck?!
-and he's telling all this to his father while he's I thought slowly dying of seppuku but it's kind of looking like he didn't after all and Ogata just stabbed him, there's blood on his hands
-"perhaps a child born to parents who lack love comes out missing something," along with the calm voice he's speaking in
-AND he shot his half-brother in the back even though he called him 'big brother,' just to see if his father would pay attention to him once his other son was dead. Ogata!
-and when his father curses him, he smiles, finally got what he wanted
-Tsurumi expected and is fine with the 7th taking the blame for the apparent suicide because it'll bring them closer together, what a bastard. But honestly, it was more tragically fitting when it was just that he killed himself for realizing he'd been wrong to do that to his men, his men then getting punished for his suicide too, it's a little disappointing that that's not how it went down even if it adds development for Ogata
- Happy beach jump...with Ogata standing on the side being watchful, brrr

Mannnnnnnn, I never noticed that at all
The bad guys too don't "get over it" and keep doing what they're doing. Hijiikata is still trying to overthrow the Emperor even though the cause is long-dead and he should probably be dead of old age, Tsurumi can't get over war, the Twin is going crazier and crazier with the ideas of revenge over the loss of his brother.
