That was the best episode so far, I actually enjoyed it. Maybe because of Mikan, she was great. :D

I thought people would be happy with a Mikan focused episode, lol. The timeline seems to be kinda screwy again, going back to what seems to be AFTER or some time around the first episode. I'm wondering what they're planning to do there.

President seemed less weak, Mikan was cool. Wonder why he couldn't look at the god, and about that guy from the association (who seemed like a total bastard).

I think I'll continue to watch this even if it has no plot. All the occult entertains me, I like the animation and sound, and the story doesn't offend me *cough*School Days*cough* - it just leaves me wanting a little bit more. Plus, I can keep hoping :D

I liked ep 3, we finally got to see more of Mikan. The adventures at Astral seem to be heating up; hopefully future eps can match the pace of this one. 4/5

I'm definitely happy about Mikan's own episode. This was the first time she get appropriate screen time. The title "Rental Magica" seems to make more sense in each episode by episode. Meet up with a client and finish the job.

Itsuki is grown on me. I used to perceive him as a very dependent member of Astral yet most hyped in the series. In this episode he stands on his words.... and gettin' it down and dirty~


Also, Mikan FTW. I'll say it again, Mikan FTW!!

Well the show is getting better, but that's about it. Also Mikan is the best character in this show.

Yeah, I agree. I actually liked this episode. But Mikan was awesome. And as ChiBuki said, Itsuki is also growing on me. But Honami is still my favorite character :)

If the next ep doesn't focus on Mikan-chan I'll drop this .. this thing.

Mikan is the only char I like in the whole show.


@17:21 - I liked it, but it really didn't have anything to do with the situation, why the hell would he need to talk to her like that? [He was enjoying it xDDD]

then at the end he is called a perv for something without any meaning at all [how ironic XD]

This show feels like a strain to watch. If things don't pick up by the fourth episode, I'm dropping it.

This was the best episode yet and while each episode on it's own isn't that interesting, they keep bringing up mysteries that I want to see explored soon.

Like, would the world cease to exist as we know it if he looks at a god with his eye? lol.

I think she just didn't want him to do that because it would have been over right then and she wanted to prove herself to him or w/e.

It seemed to me like she was a little more afraid of the outcome of him looking at the god with his eye, rather than just because she wanted to prove herself... but that's just me! I had the same random though, DigimonTamer xD

It was slightly better than Episode 2, but this show is too bland for me. I'm putting this show On Hold for now.

Well, think about it, in the first ep, the Crow/Grandpa demon thing was (kinda) absorbed (or something similar) into his eye, in some form or fashion, and caused him what seemed to be a decent amount of pain, if he absorbed a/the God of.. War, I believe it was? into his eye, I believe it probably would have been a situation similar to that, only far more severe, and possibly life-threatening

Slightly better episode as we see what's behind the eye patch! Other than that the pacing is still horrible!

the episode has a okay story but has a rushed conclusion. There is no reason why the sister does prolong to claim her brother back.
