i must say that i'm rather confused about what is going on... not to mention a bit bored. they start this with that crazy first episode and now... it all seems pointless to me. i really hope this picks up again because i'm not really liking this...


You mean getting a little backstory to show how strong the bond was between the two is pointless? Doesn't that make you even slightly interested as to the reason that she would try to kill her?

Anyways, great episode. And I swear that Nabuu is voiced by Wakamoto... o.o


i like the original characters much better than the new ones is all. i'm having a tougher time caring about them like i did with those in episode 1... that they killed off :P

haven't seen episode 4 yet, perhaps my opinion will change then

lol, it's funny that some people hated this ep, because it was "boring." while others hated the first two because there was no "character development." you just can't please anyone these days. =D

I like how they set up the first few eps. And I thought this ep did exactly what it was supposed to. After the surprise massacre of all the characters in episode 1, and then the action packed cliffhanger for episode 2, this episode set the stage for the rest of the season and showed that it wasn't just going to be "mindless action" the whole way through.

Now we know for sure who the main characters are. It provides the backstory on them. But we're left guessing as to what happened to Yomi. We can guess that Kagura doesn't die in ep 2 (would be another shocker if she did). But again, we're left guessing how that gets resolved. And we have an idea of some of the conflicts that'll occur down the line. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

[rant]On a completely unrelated note, someone's gotta review these character descriptions to screen for spoilers. I started reading about Yomi's character and stopped a sentence through because of all the info that's in there. I understand that it's already a manga, but all you need is basic character info, not their whole story.[/rant]

sMi's TL notes are so funny. Who doesn't know that 21:00 = 9 PM?

Exposition episode, Kagura and Yomi remind me of Neji and Hinata from Naruto, where Neji is from the branch family and Hinata is from the head family. Hinata also has less fighting skill, just like Kagura. Was this head/branch family common in the old Japan?

This show is very strange though, in the first episode everybody dies, in the second episode, more people re/die and now an episode with two girls in the same bathtub, two girls taking pictures and eating pokky?

I have no idea how to rate this...

I can understand why episode 2 was there but what about ep.1?
Did they just show a team of kickass exorcists in ep.1 for Yomi to kill so
they can tell us how powerful she really is?

ep.3 was great, now am properly interested in this anime.
They may reintroduce some elements from the first episode, especifically the other Spirit that may have something to do with Yomi's sudden turn into an antagonist. There's one significant trait that seems to join all events and that is that other spirit. We even catched a hint of his intervention(the butterfly) in the scene that shows Kagura's mother being killed.

This was a good episode showing us what relationship Yomi and Kagura have before and they were really in good terms.

I like how the story was shown in reverse order.

no deaths..... /impressed.
less nonsensical dying without any development FTW
i am starting to wonder if this could turn out to be a great yuri.... and btw, i just noticed chihara minori was a VA in this one, yay.
Yomi was soooo cute... i am glad i didn't hate her just because she cute natsuki's head off :D
so, the name Ga-Rei is finally appeared.... i was starting to wonder what Ga-Rei meant...
Yomi's room is so... not what i expected.
the match was nice. i love the detail of the bokken moving, and yomi attacking based on that.
Girl and Girl interaction, i can never get enough of this.
Yomi's group was nice. giving a stranger a long katana..... i would love to be there.
Nabu is hilarious, wakamoto norio fits them so nicely.
Izuna..... get your hands off Yomi D=
Bath scene <3
the ending was interesting, yet another timeskip....
yomi and kagura make such a nice pair...... *cough* siblings.

this demands a yomi fanclub (if one isn't made just yet)

Oh Yomi, you're so craaaaazzzzy...


So, after watching this episode, all that I can say right now is: What went wrong?

Well, I guess I'll see why in the next couple episodes. But with my slow pace, that could take weeks instead of days.

See, there's more to this anime than violence. Nice episode with character development and an actual back story.

The "sisters" look so cute together, can't believe they end up like in episode two.

TBH i prefer an anime with an explosive opening then leading into explanation rather than an opening with full foundation which slowly builds it's story. Backtracking ftw!

After watching this episode... why, Yomi? Why did you betray everyone? It's so sad after watching this episode. :(

She better have a good reason for betrayal. Now I'm really interested in her character.

Yomi my favorite character so far. ^_^

Seriously! This show is whack, I'm so lost! I like the animation/style and definitely the uniqueness... but I'm getting a bit tired of being COMPLETELY lost.. the next ep better shape up in the explanation department.


I was ready to see a whole team get massacred again. Guess not. Yomi so cute.

Ok, things make a whole lot more sense now. And I also get the feeling I won't know what happens to Kagura after the closing scene of episode 2 for some more episodes. And that creepy boy (the blue butterflies one) is the son (?) of a Professor who died in a plane crash while searching for a certain Death Stone. That stone must have something to do with what he became (and probably Yomi too?). Anyway, besides that, it would also be nice to know where the spirits they kill come from and what the Byakuei (that thing Kagura will supposedly inherit) is. On to the next one.

After the 2 action packed episodes we go back to Yomi's and Kagura's every day life.
I don't mind this, it's good to know the backstory :)

So cute.

On a different note. I can't believe the mkv has dual audio tracks at 720p while only being 100mb. The quality is great too, excellent compression
