Another great episode!!! This arc is definitely going to get creepy... and yet... another mystery about Naru has revealed itself. It makes you wonder, exactly what is it, that Naru is capable of.

This is gonna be a great arc. I can't wait to see how it turns out, but at the same time, the end of this arc will more than likely mean the end of this series. I'm gonna be so sad!! T_T

Already this arc is creepy. I want to see moreeee! Furaba, don't mention about this series ending it gets me depress. =(
I think I will need to join a Ghost Hunt Support Group after the ending of this series just to help me ease out of the anime.

great episode indeed, never thought that i would enjoy the frist episode of a new arc as much as I did. I have a feeling that this arc will blow the others out of the park.

The dream scenes with Mai and Naru were pretty sweet. :)

And nice to see Lin-san playing the hero, beating everyone into submission and such.

It doesn't feel like it could possible be about to end. There's so much left! So many questions!

I /know/. I hope she tells them of her dream, I hate it when people have premonitions/dreams and don't tell anyone about them. But that would mean her telling them that she dreams about Naru. But Naru already knows this if I'm reading this episode correctly, it's rather confusing for my poor little brain.

I wonder if Naru knows he appears in Mai's dreams :/

The dream was sweet though :D It made my 'Naru/Mai' gland happy.

Same same. :D There's hardly been any gore like the last arc but it's still really creepy. Weren't Mai, Naru, Ayako, Bou-san, and Lin-san reliving a scene from the past in Mai's dream? (Otherwise yeah, why would she think that about the ocean... And even for Mr. Dream Naru, what he did when Mai caught up to him seemed pretty OOC. o____o )

I know, right?? I keep thinking maybe he is actually appearing on purpose, like perhaps that is his special gift? But I can't help but keep thinking of how they were saying he has no psychic abilities.................. Besides, I have a feeling it would be too good to be true (for me, the crazed NaruxMai 'shipper), lol. BUT I'M HOLDING OUT HOPE :D

yes yes yes, amen to that! I got really excited about it, probably more than a normal person should, lol.

I have a feeling it's all going to explode soon: We'll find out who Naru and Lin really are, and what exactly is going on with Mai. Or, I hope so, at least. This arc is giving me goosebumps already.

My thoughts exactly. =\

The first part of that dream when Mai had mentioned going to the sea I thought she was talking about a lover's suicide with Naru. Thankfully, the dream took a sweet and calm turn~ ^^

I'm going to completely ignore the content of this episode and only discuss the name of the arc.

"The Cursed House." That is a rather stupid choice of names when we've already had the Scooby Gang exorcise TWO cursed houses by now. This is their third. If this was just because of the localization, then the localization team needs a slap in the face for this kind of laziness. If the title translates similarly from the original Japanese, then the people who originally adapted it need the slap.

I thought this too, actually i have had thoughts about what he is capable of ever since the episode in which he broke the spoon then (from what i can tell) tried to cover it up by doing that spoon trick at the end of the episode(file). But what interests me even more now and makes me rush to watch episode 23 is what Lin said, from what i've seen in this show Lin has been the most consistent badass in the sense that he has no flaws or failures in what he does(abilities) unlike the others who despite their best efforts have repeated failures *cough* Ayako *cough* but he even said himself that he would lose in a fight with Naru which makes me seriously wonder what kind of power he has...

Naru's turn to suffer a little uwehehe.
...
he seemed exceptionally out of character in his dream state. They seemed strangely too close to one another or am I being weird...

Really don't want this to end.. ._.
Might as well pick up the manga then seein there's not 2nd season OTL

The NaruxMai dream was so sweet <3

That fox spirit was creepy along with Eijirou-san's maniac laugh.

Well, It saddens me that this arc is the last one, I am gonna miss this show =(

A bit predictable. The children ask how many there are of the SPR and she answers "5" so now, the antagonists of the arc are going to attack them.

I feel like we're finally getting some insight on what Naru's "deal" is, but why do there have to be only 3 eps left?! Argh!

Anyway, nice intro to the arc. Ep. 23, here I come.

This anime is pissing me off because it's way too obvious. I can guess easily what happens next. And I really don't like Naru.. he's like a robot, acting like a hero and leaving his colleagues in the dark. The worst thing is that he doesn't really have a personality.

Naru's smile may be one of the most wonderful things in the world. ♥

This episode was a bit of a letdown after the epic Bloodstained Labyrinth arc. I hope The Cursed House arc gets better.

Wow...Naru's been possessed. ANd, apparently, he's some kind of fighting badass. It doesn't seem like he'd be very tough. Lin seems like he'd be a much better fighter.
