----------------------------------------
Great episode! We learn more about the enemy! They terrible in the sense dangerous and evil. They are the opposite of the Kougon cult but they have the same weapons, those would be Shikabane Himes. Corpses contracted to priests that can have the authorization to kill humans by the priest himself and regenerate with the vitality of the priest.

We meet Dai Shoujo most important person and #1 in the cult.

Makina is having terrible nightmares and among them has the enemy of which must have done something terrible in the past to Makina.

Keisei is having his own problems as well.

There is a person that can do corpse magic. Seems he gets killed by a never before seen Shikabane Hime known as Hokuto that is to change the world?

The major villains are set! The story NOW will really start! How will all kill those SOBs? How will they settle things and stop these crazy guys that have crazy skills?

That is what I want to know and look forwards to in #11! Yeah! :D

1.The evil group that is stronger than any other enemies of this series that I have seen so far. They are even stronger than that priest betrayer.
2.Even crazier Shikabane Hime than anything I have seen in this series. She looks such a beauty but yet such danger of death near her. Horror to the max!

That's it, I m tired of waiting and I will be either watching raws or the chinese subs from now on since the action and pace picked up!

So...finally, the shikabane organization makes their moves.....The current seven mysterious figures are called Shichisei, the Seven Stars of the Dipper and they serve a greater evil....And I can wait until the five great shikabane generals to appear (higher-ups of Shichisei)

And by the way, these are not Shikabane himes, simply high-level Shikabanes....

Funny that Keisei didn't know that Ouri WORKS at the Inspector monk's coffee shop....Apparently, Keisei knows the inspector very well....And also, the inspector is on a SECRET mission..other contracted priest mmust not knows his whereabouts. That is because the elder monks suspects traitors with the cult....And they left without giving Ouri his paycheck for the month...LOL....

Other than that, Makina and her family were killed by the Shichisei, as confirmed in her nightmares....Most precisely, she remembers Hokuto (the girl with the tatoo on the eye)

ominous preview...Ouri's birthday...and something bad is going to happen....

That was really interesting. It took Shikabane Hime 10 episodes to finnaly get the real storyling underway. Better late than ever. I think this is a good storyline and I can't wait to see how it develops.

I really don't like where this is going. There is no real relationship explanation in here, only random encounters between Oori and shikabane's. His relation with Minai was greatest thing so far in this anime, and

This series is not going to get any better in my opinion....I will watch it till the end, for sake of watching anime, but I really don't like it as I used to...

yay for history unwravelling. now im really curious as to why he doesn't want oori part of that world.

also the cat. supposedly only he can see the cat but now we have seen several times that the priests and shikabanes can see them. i wonder if its just a corpse that he has around him at all times.

Maybe Oori is Hime's little brother (the one in the pic thats burnt). He did lose his memory when he was a kid so it's a possibility.

Well, they changed the ending subtly a couple of times already.
Until episode 4 they had a recap of the episode, episodes 5 to 8 had a recap of the episode with images of the Shikabane Hime in the middle part, and from episode 9 there's Ouri in the monk robes followed by the images of the Shikabane Hime and then Ouri again. Yes, I watch it all times since it's one of the best for this season.
I suppose it would have been too much of a spoiler to show him dressed like that from the beginning, though I'd figured long ago that he'd become Makina's contract priest.

Overall this episode was a bit slow... introducing the main bad guys is ok, but the lack of Makina makes me sad.

Ugh, I hope not. That cat's good* enough. Or Boob Goddess, although she'd make a lousy fighter. Better she stays alive. But Makina is Kesei's.

* I mean cool enough. Yeah, the cat's a lousy fighter, too.

So we finally have our villians it seems, and these are for all the series not just Aka.

We also found out how Makina died.

Little bit on the forced humor early on but solid episode.

Really interesting episode. The enemy group has finally appeared. I have been wondering when they would show up. I also wonder how they are Shikabane, but seemingly not obsessed with something like normal ones are? And who is that white haired girl and what is her deal? And why did they did Makina's family? So many questions I can't wait to see answered.

This series continues to be better than I expected. I was expecting an ecchi action series without much of a plot, but there is a lot less action than I thought there would be, and the story/plot and characters have all been really interesting. I really wonder what's going to happen next.

Very constructive criticism right there.

So there's basically three or four players here. The Kongou cult, the Shichisei, the Betrayer Priest, and the assassin who works at the part-time shop.

I really hope things get intense in the next few episodes. The action has been sorely lacking these past few episodes.

wow i guess most of the bald monks are douch bags. im surprised ouri and boob girl said no to going out. Usually any other anime would make them blush and studder. ouch poor girls getting eaten up. I guess curses are the way to explain powers now and it looks like we got a look at our villain group. Ya know I thought makinas death was going to be more brutal there for a sec. Instead it was a quick stab to the gut. It was nice we got some more info on whats going on plot wise.

So it wasn't hell she saw when passed out, but a memory. The seven stars are a band of powerful corpses however unfortunately this raised many questions for me:
-Why her place specifically? (I understand why her type of place, but hers specifically)
-Why have they been mostly in the shadows otherwise?
-Why didn't they just take out the Jougan Sect? Are the Jougan Sect that powerful?

Aniki learned what happened... Ouri brought her to work, inspector is boss of work, inspector did his job... Now they have to move as they aren't supposed to be known (though confused as didn't they talk with that other monk?? Too many baldy's)

Apparently that shikabane was also harmless, but that's a no-go to the seven stars. Ouri always happens to be in the locations and this time went face to face with the leader of the corpse group Makina wants to take out.
4/5 as just raised a bunch of questions for me... Ouri truly keeps getting all the top-ladies to go after him, well, sort of, not really, but looks like that.
