Ah, the Zashiki-warashi (or more commonly known as the Vestal Sprite) has finally made her appearance. Man, she was cute. I wonder if she was in SaiMoe 2006...hey, she might be in SaiMoe 2008!

Anyway, another episode that reaches the amazing heights that Episode 8 brought. The scene when she took the Ohagi out of Doumeki's body; I didn't see that coming. And the black Mokona continues to make me laugh. She should have flown the bird drunk. ^_^

Vestal Sprite was definitely cool. Score one for Watanuki in the chick department finally.

I loved the Vestal Sprite! Somwhow I get the feeling a human/Sprite relationship wouldn't work, lol, but it makes for a really kawaii plot line.

Definitely a cute chapter so different form the other ones!!! Just a few supernatural events occurred.... But heck they were extremely surprising... who would thought that the little ultra shy girl would take out the Ohagi our of Doumeki's stomach along with his soul.... I always wondered why he was left soulless.... I guess it's all because CLAMP wanted to make this episode a little but funnier and interesting....

the Tengu Bangu or whatever things were hilarious... but damn Mokona did really gave a lot more than anyone else... I mean he clearly was the most awesome charac in this epi.... Oh so Finally we met Zaishikiwarashi... another sprite... the little big difference? SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES WATA!!!! Oh my she was really cute.... She definitely surpassed the max mark of my MOE-meter.... she along with Mikuru are the most moe girls I've ever seen on anime! XD

This episode really made me laugh my butt off. Yuuko's sudden appearance right down to Doumeki's face smacking into the log. And, of course, the little... I forgot what they're called, attacking Watanuki in the air and him falling right after looking so smug. Awesome.

This episode was the best one so far! I really love this series ^^

Especially with all the action.. and the OST for this episode was astounding. One of my favorite episodes. The beginning third of the episode was so funny, I don't think I have ever laughed harder during an anime, and the rest of it was just perfect with enough action, nice art and storyline! A delight to watch :D

I third this! Haha, I thought it was so adorable that Watanuki finally had someone that liked him. XD

I liked the Zashiki-warashi and seeing the Ame-warashi again, but for me Mokona was definitely the star of this episode, what with his air-combat skills atop that humongous bird. :D

Such a cute episode! The ''Vestal sprite'' was quite the character! And a side appearance of the ''Rain sprite''. Overall, kind of light humor episode with some light tease scenes. Not bad, at all. The preview looks really good. Looking forward to the next!

What a super-cute zashiki-warashi we got here^^ She's rivaling the 'zashiki-warashi' in zetsubou sensei in terms of cuteness ;-)
And she loves Watanuki! It was too cute when her face got all red from blushing :3

Watanuki, leave Himawari-chan to Doumeki and get this cutie! :D

So zashikiwarashi... that's cool.

But at the end, what did she told him before leaving with amewarashi?

Watanuki did the little "riddle" at the end instead of Yuuko though...I wonder what that means about the next episode.

They’ve been waiting for him . Aww someone’s angry. She calls him a lady killer because he made a meal so delicious it could be deadly. A meal only ate on holidays. He screams from a park mountain top. A passing orb. A blushing lass. He wingman’s his enemy. She steals the food that he already ate. She ascends with her gift. Normal girls can’t fly. The creature has brought a super eagle. She’s headed off to the moon. She weeps sparkles. Assaulted by a strange collection of assailants. Captured within an orb. Sick em, birdie. What? The rain woman reappears. She ran away from him with his friends soul because she wanted to give that soul to him. A protective Sprite. This makes it literally no sense at all. Why would she run away fly away from the person that she wanted to give the gift. Her magnificent castle is blown away. She needed her beloved to have a near death experience before she could give him his own gift that she stole to give back to him. A supercharged food first by its creator, then by its consumer, then enchanted by a Sprite. Now he is the one saving the life of his rival. 3
