for the most part of this episode, my eyes were more glued to subtitles instead of the animation.. in fact i think all the characters have pretty calming voices and im starting to appreciate how they can talk so much in one breath :P

Duh, sub is out. The conversation is really interesting if you stick with them in the end. I was attracted to their stories and theories and when it ends I was like “whaaa? I want to know more!”
Anyways, good episode, intriguing characters :)

This series is a tough one to sub, definitely.

Talking may be necessary or not but with a high level of it, it is reasonable to wonder whether it’s well-suited for animation. So far most of it looks like theatre play to me and overall it would work much better as novel.

I was certainly there myself a few years ago. You did pretty well this time!

Kyogokudo/Akihiko is a used book store owner, the priest in charge of the shrine next to his home, and an onmyoji. I don’t believe he ever equated himself with any of the four types he was attempting to define and distinguish between. Which appeared to be a side tangent, but turned out to be exactly the subject Toriguchi had come here to discuss.
What the man sold Toriguchi is a registry file for the box maker’s cult.
His cult operates by cleansing people’s money in those boxes. They are his trade, and I don’t think the show has explicitly drawn any connection between them and the boxes the limbs were found in. Yet.
Otherwise, you pretty much followed the main points.

Olivia, this particular scene is actually quite well animated all the way through - exposition is often quite necessary, and it doesn’t always have to be cheap.

Hate talking in anime - no matter how intelligent or eloquent the talk is - it’s such a pitiful way to save money
