Episode three of Grimgar was pretty interesting. It gave a nice, clear look at how uncomfortable everybody still is, to the point where the bathhouse incident was enough to temporarily divide and hurt general morale. The girls have stayed relatively separate from the guys, and although everybody is settling in, nobody is entirely sure that they belong. It gives a genuine human feeling to the idea that just because life tossed you into the same situation as somebody else, it doesn't mean that you'll necessarily be buddy buddy right away. Really, you can tell the only thing binding most of them is their memory loss and knowledge that they couldn't survive on their own.

That said, based on how things are going, I get the feeling somebody is going to die in the next episode, and based on the last five minutes of the episode and the preview, I have a feeling the leader priest is going to be the one to go. I think it would be the emotional gut punch necessary to really establish what reality is for this group of kids now.

Overall, I enjoy how this one is progressing. It is maintaining a serious vibe, and seeing the characters slowly grow into their new roles makes for an interesting ride.
