The battle wasn't very good but I like the character development :) Looks like Kyouko might have to fall in love with someone else :P

Touji's so sharp. It's a nice change considering the amount of dense characters in anime.

I still wonder how people think Natsume's a guy, given her girly voice and that bulge in her chest area, lol.

And it seems like little Kyoko made a promise with little Harutora instead, so future harem member +1 >.>

The same way people mistake Hideyoshi from Bakatest for being a girl despite not having a particular feminine voice. That said, soft spoken males aren't uncommon and Natsume's speech in her disguise is rougher then quite a few males. You can blame the anime for bulge though. lol Natsume doesn't have that when she masquerades in the LN and Manga since she uses bandages over her chest. Guess 8bit gotta add fanservice whenever they can. =/

Eitherway it's not really all that unacceptable, especially compared most stuff in anime nowadays.

I think it's gonna be super funny when Kurahashi finds out that Natsume is a girl lol
But for Harutora small flashback, seems like he knows Kurahashi, maybe he was the one who made the promise with her and she thinks it was Natsume?

Touji and Kurahashi would be a cute couple.

Oh, I didn't know about the specific ways males/females speak differently in Japanese. And I guess they didn't bother to make her wear bandages here, lol. Well I don't have that much of a problem with it though, just some idle thoughts.

Finally caught up to this series and I am enjoying it. I guess the only issue I have is the CGI. Why is it that I'm enjoying the two anime with the worst CGI this season?
Although, whenever I see Harutora, I remember this guy:
http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/3/66340.jpg
Since they are both blonde, named Tsuchimikado, and are Onmyouji. Weird coincidences….

Isnt harutora suppose to yell back at natsume when natsume scold him at the stair.. no excitement here. i like this part follow a little bit like manga.


Its good though when an Anime doesn't "exactly" follow the manga. It gives people who read the manga something new to enjoy.


I certainly don't feel this was anything close to horrible as some try to make out to be, but I do think it could have been adapted better. This arc really should have been 3 episodes minimum. That said, the staff did a good job moving things along and covering a lot ground in the timeframe. So it's solid showing.

Hopefully next episode allows for some more even pacing.


Yeah its still adapted quite good. and i agree they doesn't need to follow the manga, but dont do you think for this part its more better for harutora yell at natsume. man when i read that part it make me feel like im harutora. give a relieve feeling cause natsume always nagging him. haha though i think im the only feel like that.sigh.

well if my memory serves correct, kyouko said that natsume made a promise to her (that actually being harutora) but i'm not sure whether it was the one that harutora mentions about becoming natsume's familiar. Most likely possibility is he befriended them both as children and the two experiences are unrelated, but who knows at this point

4/5

In a sense, this episode has a bit disappointed my expectations. During the narration of the things that I found for my tastes were a little too exaggerated, as the concept of friendship, because taken too lightly, I would define the knowledge in the first place and after friendships. But other things were going to brush, how the behavior of the male characters during interactions. On this point the girls I am getting a little on the boxes, too moody! Well, maybe fully reflect feminine features! XD
Another thing that I liked narratively, in a sense, is the sense of loss that I tried on the account until the end of Natsume, I also thought it was a man! Oh my God! X ° ° D
It is true, in addition to his other Bakatora we have a colleague! ASD
Drawings and animations, including the CG, not bad! The animations, seemed more woody than usual, but seeing them in streaming I can not swear that they really like that! ^ ^ "

Yeah, Touji nice character, but it seems there is a little more to him than that.
If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

It's the Tsuchimikado family tradition or something. Poor Kyouko, the one you met in your childhood is Harutora not Natsume. How long before she realises it I wonder.

I also always thought they did it out of respect for the tradition, but apprently not lol. kurahashi is serious about natsume XD Also I'm pretty sure Harutora is the one who met Natsume when they were little. I dunno what kyouko was talking about.

Wow.. finally. This anime got sooo much better ever since they stopped using blushes on every damn scene. They still use it a lot but it's much more acceptable now.

Also it kid of reminds me in style of the anime Hamatora.

That was a quick match. It only lasted a few seconds.

I still don't kow how they can confuse Natsume's real gender. C'mon! Looks like Kurahashi is in for a surprise later on. She likes Natsume but doesn't know she's a girl. Oh man.

It was never be explained in anime. But a little spoiler is this series mages supposedly would not mistaking a human gender because boy and girl has different aura vibe or some sort. So Natsume not only cross dressing, but there is a little complication on it that will be adressed later.

The fight between Harutora and Kyouko endet pretty fast.

I also wonder that Kyouko doesn't see that Natsume is a girl. I'm curious what will happen if she finds that out.

This devotee guy was crazy. The fight was good at the end. And nice to see that Natsume give more trust into other people :)

Why can't he just order Kon to stop putting swords to people's necks just for badmouthing him? Seems like the first thing to do...

And they totally failed to explain in previous episode that Natsume is actually pretending to be a boy for real. Didn't they just say that she has to act like a boy for tradition, not that she has to fool all the students (and faculty and the rest of the world?) into thinking she's a boy? Though I guess this explains why that 12 General girl didn't know Natsume was a girl either.

With Natsume moving into the boys dorm, I expect there will be a-plenty "walkins" in the future...

I think Kyouko actually met Harutora in the past and she's mistaking Natsume as him. So thats why Natsume doesn't remember ever meeting her in the past and Harutora just had a flashback. So im guessing since she met Natsume first she assumed that Natsume was Harutora(maybe she didnt bother asking his name in the past). Or it might just be that she met Harutora too when she was a kid along with Natsume.

Yeah, I mean "she" is actually not a boy, so better luck next time, tsundere-chan;)

Fight was hella lame tbh. Add the misery of that creep giving those rapey vibes. Though yeah, they wanted to establish the "friendship" between these characters, so works I guess. Touji is the only decent character around btw.

Also of course, somehow blonde tsundere TOO is someone who our main has met in the past lol.

Harutora is becoming an incredibly likable character to me, because in a lot of ways he felt human, instead of '"oh something bad happen to me now I must the emotionless ayanokoji", or the average edgy angry webtoon protag of "I'm at the bottom but one day I'll step on these arrogant bastards", and when he is humble he isn't absolutely timid to where become an indecisive coward, on the contrary, he remains realistic, social, and easy going and I love that about him.
