[C] 05 - Cultivation


In this episode, got teamwork problems with Msyu, Kimimaro gets to experience a loss and see its effects on reality and lastly, the old man from the previous episode gets to experience the biggest lost in his life, and the Guild starts to make its move.


One thing that I can say good about this episode is that they explored the teamwork between Msyu and Kimimaro and that's about it. While as for Kimimaro's first loss in the District, I find it fitting quite well with the amount he loss in the District. The episode also properly explains the guild's job of minimizing the effects of the District when Mikuni decided to buy Basho Pharmaceuticals after its owner lost in the Financial District.


Overall, it is a fine episode. Asides that they still remembered Kimimaro's professor who now is single thanks to the effects of the District, Kimimaro officially joins the Guild. Another thing that I can note in this episode is that they explored each member of the Guild and their abilities. Seriously, the one with the Dead Man's Trigger still bothers me the most.
