Comments on: Mononoke - 12 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/12/mononoke-12/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated. Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:32:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Harumi http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/12/mononoke-12/#comment-4530 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:42:37 +0100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/12/mononoke-12/#comment-4530 Actually, the waitress barely knew Ichikawa, but thought she had seen her once. Desperate to get her name on the newspaper, she basically reported a bunch of lies. She was spared in the end along with the delivery boy and Sakai because they deeply regretted what they did, while Moria didn't, as you saw when he chuckled when he thought that he had escaped. While the story was more predictable than others, I felt it did a good job weaving together the lives of people who at first glance look completely unrelated. In a way, this episode summed up Mononoke quite well: everything is connected, and the separate actions of humans can often be the cause of what seems to be a straight forward problem.

Just one comment though: <i>The waitress often hung out with the victim, so I think that the cat wanted her to know what happened.</i> Well she was guilty too. She lied saying it was suicide so she can get in the paper since she wanted to be famous. That was why she was scratching her mouth in episode 11. I guess in the end though the crimes of the milk boy, woman, and waitress were not as bad as the others and that is why they were spared.
