| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yes! Gau's finally awake! I don't know if Yoite's conversation with Raikou had the same impact as in the manga, but I just really like the whole thing. The whole episode is a good improvement. It's 80% anime-original, but the story remains as good as ever. Without knowing the proper dialogue, Yoite seems to emphasize not wanting to die, but I'm not so sure if he still wants to disappear. I don't know why they're trying to hide a plot device about Yoite's past at this point, though. They go and make some things obvious (like where Engetsurin is) but this, that should have been revealed this episode, remains in the darkness. I wonder how that will go. |
| I like it - Miharu+Yoite they are really cute... Would like to more about Yoite though. Never read the manga so have nothing to compare it with. |
| It felt to me like most of this episode was people wandering around... but maybe that's also because I have a crazy headache and only watched this because I was really looking forward to it. I want something to happen with Miharu and Yoite already! |
| I have a feeling Yoite would be happier just having his past memory's erased. That way he can still live, just not in the ninja world or have any memory of his parents or the people he killed in the past. This episode wasn't as good as the others. Mostly talking about things we already know :(. Although the part with Gau was nice. |

| quite frankly, i think this episode sucked. |
    |
| im not really looking forward to the conclusion of this. it started out with a really good momentum and then it turned into some sappy romance drama, without the romance.... having watched 18 ep, i have no better alternative than to finish it, but only for the sake of it. maybe perhaps something cool might happen...like miharu goes berserk and kills them all haha. |
| I have some problems with this series as well. There is little plot progression and it really is turning gay(not that I'm a homophobe, it's just that i'm not into that stuff). After all how many times did Miharu say Yoite in this episode? Hopefully it will pick up as this has been a very drawn out series. |

| Do any of the other guys here think this is becoming borderline yaoi?(You know what I mean...) I know most women here would probably see it as "cute" as someone used that word above. Or is it really just me? Miharu is obviously gay, probably one of the main reasons he was so unmotivated in his life of trying to be indifferent, and now Raiko and Gau (Although I saw it coming since the beginning of first seeing Gau, but now it's actually going to happen to Raiko too who I thought was a cool character.) Maybe I've just been watching to much anime recently, but for 10 minutes every episode is Miharu saying Yoite's name and crying for him, no matter what he does. He could mass murder some innocent people and I'm sure Miharu would only ask if he was safe. Well that's my rant, haven't really said anything for awhile now hoping it would change but it obviously isn't any time soon. I skipped a good 5-10 minutes of this episode. But then again it was worse than others I admit...what a let down from the beginning of this series. All just my opinion though. I haven't read the other topics of episodes since well...it isn't that good of a show to read anything about it. |

These shows can be classified as shounen-ai I think. |

| even though i have nothing against shounen-ai animes, i am getting disappointed with nabari no ou turning into a borderline shounen-ai. the manga/anime plot till this episode is getting a bit slow nowadays, especially with the over-emphasis on miharuXyoite relationship. this episode just made me drop my rating for this anime from a 8/10 to 6/10. i am going to keep watching nabari just for the sake of finishing it. hopefully the plot will pick up since there's 8 more episodes to go. |

| The show isn't shounen ai. The problem is that the relationship (and I'm not speaking in a romantic way) between Yoite and Miharu is important to the plot. Because it can determine exactly how Miharu is going to use Shinrabanshou. If he's conflicted, as shown in a previous episode, the thing is just not going to work and something terrible may happen with that amount of knowledge. If you can't stand either of the main characters by now, or if you can't step away and analyze the situation enough to see how it's not really gay, then you might as well drop this. Because I don't think it's going to get any better the way you want it to be. |
| Great episode. Yoite is an ANGST MACHINE, but I feel really bad for him. Yoite and Miharu's relationship is beautiful. :] |

| it would be great if they could finally have some background on Yoite. Really to see constantly wanting to die but not wanting to die as well. Granted that his life is not really easy being seen as the Shinigami no Kami but then, Miharu has been there supporting him in many untold ways. Anyway, the only time I've seen him smiling is in the new ED. |
| This is slightly skipping over to the Yaoi/shounen ai border. XD Very slow progress x__x I'm dying here. |
     |
| Dah! almost cried when i saw Yoite was like blind but im glad he isnt I liked the episode, i can understand the kind of relationship they have, not yaoi, but as someone that really understands and cares about someone else. It makes me happy that kind of 'love'. |
 |
| I thought this episode was...meh. Can they drag their feet on revealing Yoite's past even more?! Criminey! And when is Miharu going to "confess" to Yoite? It certainly seems like that's what these episodes are leading up to. I agree that Miharu should've been a girl. Urrrgh! |

| guys....this is NO WHERE near shounen-ai yet, so forget about yaoi? This episode has a very nice touch to it...SURE, if all you like is action and plot twists, then this episode had nearly none...watch Code Geass R2 instead.... But this episode was just beautiful.... And you are all talking about shounen-ai as if it is the worst thing you can encounter in anime....no matter how you say "I have nothing against shounen-ai" And yes, this can also dissapoint hardcore yaoi fans because nothing is really happening between Miharu and Yoite....But this is why Nabari no Ou is unique... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Meh...things are getting a little too gay for my liking :P |

| This is the first forum I have checked out for this anime... I'm pretty amazed to see how much people are torn between its sucking and it being amazing. Personally I love it!!! I dance after every update lol. I thought this episode is beautiful and even though i support the shounen ai hints I believe that it could be easily looked at as a anime about building characters and that begins with building relationships. There doesn't have to be anything gay about the way the characters treat each other. I think its touching! |
| I have to admit, the plot is getting a bit draggy but at the same time I still love it. The character interactions are amazing and hints of Yoite's past is interesting. However, I don't think Yoite's and Miharu's relationship is considered as romantic. I think Miharu understands Yoite in a very deep level and Yoite is reacting to Miharu's understanding. No romance there. |
 |
| good good good |
 |
| The relationship between Yoite and Miharu is really good. It didn't come close to the "yaoi" border. It's just a "You and I are the same person and we can understand each other" relationship. I hope 19th episode is about Yoite's past. -_-" |
 |
| I really wonder if Miharu will make Yoite disappear. Frankly speaking - I don't want him to do so... |
| i wonder how much of a shounen-ai will this anime go coz more and more its getting a bit gay ^^ |
      |
| a really nice episode!!with a good drama between yoite and Miharu! i am forward to know how it will end! |
| Can't see why everyone's complaining so much. It seems ok to me. I like the show. So long as the story's good (and I like this one) I'm ok with it. |
  |
| The fuck is it, with all this gay shit?! This isn't what I signed up for! I frigging hate yaoi but they keep shoving it down our throats! WTF! It's official Miharu is one of the worst male main characters i've seen! He obviously is gay, shouting out Yoite's name like a little shit, the way he hold's Yoite's hand, hugging him too much, he's so damn touchy-feely! It's obvious more than ever, that he doesn't care one bit about anyone but Yoite! I doubt he would go through all this trouble if it was to help Aizawa. Forget all your old friends because you want to help Yoite, why don't you! Twat! Miharu's treatment of Thobari and Aizawa is just sad. Personally I have never liked Yoite, he's as boring as they come, I have no interest in his story at all. I'm even more interested in Miharu's aunt than in him. This anime has very boring characters. The only manageable ones are Aizawa and Thobari. |
| I don't understand Miharu and Yoite's relationship AT ALL. Why are they so close? There is no reason other than "we're kind of alike" (they're not even that alike). Plus, like I keep saying, if Yoite dies then a whole bunch of people he's zapped with his kira will die as well. But Miharu doesn't give a shit, he's just lonely and doesn't want his pet Yoite, the one person who NEEDS HIM so completely, to go away. Bullshit. |

| Yoite... I can't believe this character! He's so... how are those called, things you immediately want to hug and protect? When I started this anime, I didn't expect all this Miharu+Yoite relationship, but I like it. |
  |
| Well, this show is starting to get boring now. I just want to see the MC use his powers. |
