Jesus Christ, what a past with the knife, blood, and all. Life for Kobungo just isn't so easy. That supernatural furball like being was kinda strange this episode becoming that big imo.

Some good action I guess in this episode. I see some shit went down with the fire and demon.

Wow, that flurry round thing became bigger!

During that past incident their oni is awakened and might be related to their father?

What? That evil monk and NamiDai's characters are siblings? lol @ the end.

Seems like a white hair girl appearing?

This anime deserves much more attention. Perhaps it would've drawn more attention if it had been named Eight Balls or Furball.

Yeah unfortunately they never explained how that furball works in the anime. In chapter of one in the manga, we learn that the furball gets bigger when it soaks up water, and shrinks when he dries up. Hopefully it makes more sense now. :)

I liked the comedy in this episode, and especially at the end where Genpachi showed interest in Shino...in the manga Genpachi even says men are beter because they can't have kids with other men LOL. Also, I seriously LOVE the bgm...so beautiful! Especially the one during the flashback where Genpachi and Kobungo almost died.

I think this is kind of growing on me. Which is funny, since I don't really like Deen's adaptations (besides Hetalia).

Can I ship Hamaji x Osaki. It's so cute. I can't even.

Poor Kobungo and Genpachi. :( They sure have it hard. Not even able to die and forced to live pain again and again. I loved this episode, it was beautiful. Favourite episodes (so far- we're only four episodes in XD)

What am I doing I'm supposed to be studying for exams OTL

Awesome ep!

That past was really sad :( esp how Nui killed her self after finding out he's alive...but getting pregnant almost immediately after she thought he was dead...didn't she get over his death too quickly??

Glad that stupid monk is dead.

that monk, I hate him so much. I guess that Osaki got rid of him forever, thank god!
Kobungo and Genpachi had to deal with so much s*** just like the others, the background story was interesting and really sad.
Genpachi hitting on Shino at the end was awesome :D can't wait to see how it's going to turn out later on

Well certainly this episode solved and answered many things. I for one have to favour the following,

Osaki was KICK ASS THERE! He killed the piece of shit Seiran who dared scarring my sweet Hamaji’s face. The best female still in the series so far. Glad he is out of the series. He was rather nasty and his face displeased me a lot.

About Inukai and Inuta, their past story is quite tragic. When you think they all got dirty orders of killings and in thee end are all killed by some grotesque monster. Makes you wonder.

What is interesting of them is that they provided or rather were perhaps given 2 orbs from that demon. That of Brotherhood:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood
In this case a brother bond and That of Faith well that’s still a mystery as to what the use of it is other than bringing the bearers of the other orbs together. Brotherhood might help in forming a Fraternity among all of them. All 4 make already half of the total of them.

I am also suspecting the demon person is someone that gives out these orbs but that might be wrong. Not sure how else to explain a sudden possession of the orbs by Inukai and Inuta. Just a theorem some shit happened with demon guy and he stole the balls and gave them away to hide them only to later assemble them.

About Saihime, I got to admit much respect for Satomi in saving her that’s of course after the begging had to incur. Saihime herself is very pretty in appearance.

About Nui, Nui was pregnant with kid from other male due to male lover being dead. Male lover came back most likely much later. As result of coming back Nui committed suicide for Shame. This is rather a harsh situation presented that I share of rather shocking value as of this episode in terms of Nui’s past. Indeed as it was said, Nui should have waited or have more faith. Saying someone is dead with not much to show other than words sometimes can avert to be false.

Nui’s suicide is rather too much. She should not have been so harsh on herself.

About the orbs, seems anyone that has them upon dying is brought to life with fast regeneration and demon powers with appearance. Quite fascinating to leave it at that. Makes you think if Satomi had 2 of them and used them to resurrect Shino.

About thee end, looks like Inukai now likes Shino in a gay fashion? Well I don’t mind yayoi older and younger. It’s quite unique really in anime. Not much of it appears. Quite the gem for many female this series IMO with the male figures the way they are drawn. On the opposite Hamaji still keeps the series going strong. I like her a lot as a girl.

About the preview, UH OH! Did I say Hamaji only? From the next episode a new girl appears and she IS HOT! Really nice design. Hey man! CHECK THIS OUT! Red eyes + silver hair sounds good.

This episode was very interesting. Many things happened. Finally, a closure to Seiran's vicious act. Adorable moment of Genpanchi feeding Megu, hehehe. But the fun part for a fangirl like me was the last scene between Genpanchi and Shino...and even the next episode dialogue between Genpanchi and Kobungo.
Also there's the fan services for Hamaji x Osaki and even for Satomi. The shoujo elements were clearly delivered into their scenes.

This was a REALLY good episode!!!

So glad that Seiran is over and done with! His rape face gave me nightmares.


It looks like four of the orbs have now come together: Sousuke, Shino, Genpachi and Kobungo.

And the fujoshi in me rejoices over Genpachi's awakening to man x boy (in appearance) love!!

It's funny. With all these sexy bishies in every frame of this anime, I have developed a greater interest in the Marimo.

Sorry Genpachi not only he's male but he won't grew up either.

I don't even want to know what that furball eye was eating at the end.

So is this shounen-ai, way too many hot guys and not enough girls, it is borderline shounen-ai I'll say.

I kinda saw it coming, that Kaname and that silly Seiran or w.e were related. Hope Kaname finished him off, his insects and his occasional raep-face gave me the creeps.

This episode was hilarious in it's own way, abit tragic, but the ending is brilliant-

Genpachi x Shino?

Hm I'd ship them but Shino's stuck in a 13 year old body that's just. . . . OH WELL.

This was a good episode and the end part with Genpachi saying Shino is a good choice was really funny I am glad Sousuke is fine but i really didnt have much worry that he wasnt going to be bc he is one of the main characters if they r going to kill him off it will be toward the end if at all

N i figured out about the furball thingy in i think it was the first episode when it was raining n it got bigger but then when it was dry it shrank again so yeah figured that out before someone had to explain it.

Hey they did imply this in the first or second episode. Hamaji said that she dried it up, and it shrank.

By the way how could she not know who the father of her child was? I mean Nui. Was she playing around with men, or was she gang-raped, or what?

5/5

The part that covers the action is very low, the rest of the potential that should be exploited better.
Interesting plot, narrative rather rushed, so not good, little impact on the viewer.
Not bad twists!
Drawings very good, well-made scenarios, but some repetitive, but the animations are poor, Studio Deen should put more effort! D:

Hope to see some care from Hamaji's side soon huehue

That end scene was why I came into this anime thinking Shino was a girl LOL. I've been duped xD

I'm in-between on liking this series to thinking it's just okay and a little slow paced..... ^^'
