In a supposed more serious event they make it nearly all silly. This is an episode that is supposed to make Anju realize the weight of her actions and having Haku taking care of the mess to show the result of his growth. Although the most important point of this episode is preserved, this is not right. With nearly everyone not taking things serious all the jokes fell flat - you need to have seriousness to get jokes working. The reflection of Anju's action toward Kuon and Atui is also absent, which is supposed to be important characterization of Kuon.

The aftermath of Nosuri and Ougi should have been taken much more seriously. Even they are running out of time this is not how it should be done. It seems all the darker parts are "cleaned" out of the plot as if there's some sort of censorship. I'm upset.

Haku's fight with Oshutoru and Oshutoru's action toward Anju are really good, but that's pretty much all of what is done well.
