Wow, no one watched this one RAW either. Really nice episode although Ouri is perverted like his brother even in clumsy situation.

Finally we know about the cat! It was a cat Ouri took care of when he was a small kid. The cat then
Then the cat back as a familiar ghost that helps Ouri for taking care of it! That is almost like Kanon 2006 but in a darker setup. The cat must be special: has multiple golden eyes around it when using its powers.

I am happy to bring you Great News specially to Richard_Omega, Ouri becomes a priest like Keisei! Proof although they do not say it too much nor show much:

Very nice please enjoy it and think also of Minei! MINEI! :( :( Even when they are Shikabane this anime makes you think that they are still somehow humans wanting to go to heavens. Somehow kind of feeling they want us to think of.

I have been going around this place and others I do not know:

Well we finnaly learned about the cat. That was probably the only good thing that I think happened in this epiode. O ther than that I thought it was really boring and felt like a filler episode.

Actually, I like this episode the best of out the recent few.. Now at least we get to know more about Ouri's past and his relationship with the cat. This got me really interested in the series more than ever.
Usually I'll skip the ED and watch the preview, but I happened to watch through the ED and boy, I was pretty surprised to see Ouri in that outfit! Now I guess the new season's gonna be centered on him being a Contract Prist...

I find it strange he cries though. T_T could it be that Keisei never survives?

^ Well, we did see him cry a couple of times so far... I guess it's highly likely that something really bad happened to Keisei or someone else he cares for (Makina??). What I find to be more unbelievable is what made him want to become a Contact Priest (despite knowing all the risks involved)??

But youtube version works, and the quality is pretty good, all that should be done is to find this episode in the youtube search engine and chose from the list (video chosen from the funimation profile not works on my pc).


I liked this episode, not something special, but quite interesting - black cat's case (fact, that Makina doesn't see anything wrong with it also), and priest - Ouri photo especially.

This was a very tragic episode in all forms. That poor cat. Wah! And now the ghost seems to be following him, and apparently Makina can see it too. Weird. But I guess it's not really all that strange considering she's dead too. And Breast Goddess? Um, okay. Interesting character I suppose. Kind of hoping that's the last we see of her. The ending credits with Ouri as a monk threw me off guard.

Ouri took a level up in badass with the priest cloaks. I think they modified the chapter in the manga a bit but w/e.

Terrible episode. While super boring, we did get a few answers to questions regarding Oori, but the second they answered a question, they totally contradicted it in the next scene. Oori is the only one who can see the cat? Nope, Makina can too. Oori is different, he can't forget about death? Nope, he forgot about the cat dying pretty soon after the fact. Obviously the cat means that there is a connection between Makina and Oori that we don't know about. Yet another convetion to add to the list. 2/5 for me.

It was a great flashbak/background episode with a nice back story too, and great developments as far as scenario and characters are concerned. When you see an episode such as this one, you understand why Shikabane Hime is probably the best shonen series of the year and how good GAINAX can be, even when they're doing a co-production.

Again I must disagree with you...

I don't think you need to be ubber intelligent to see that the cat is now a shikabane and has the power to cloack himself from living human, except other shikabane, hence that's why Makina can see it. I think I remember the cat being see by an ennemie shikabane in the few first episode.

He haven't forgot about the cat since he remembered about it when he was washing the dishes and broke one because he was lost thinking about it.

If you don't read between the line it's normal you won't understand anything, I found this episode pretty much helpfull to confirm some theorie and nothing contradicted itself.

Imo Shikabane hime is probably one of the best show this season even tough the comedie is kinda unwanted, as well as the big breast girl who was useless. I give this ep a 5/5 because it helped me to confirm some thing. Without being biased I guess I would had give it a 4/5

hehee nice, suddenly grabbing a girl's boobs.

its not certain that the cat is a corpse though. it could just be a spirit, or some form that is related to him in some way. also the cat asked him if hes forgotten about them, whomever they might be. tis possible that Oori is already dead, or isn't human.

That cat continuously says Ouri can see him because he is him. I'm guessing Ouri formed a contract with the cat unknowingly before the priest showed up. Should be interesting to see what role the cat plays now. It's clear the cat cant stand the traitor monk so who knows if Ouri will form a second contract with another corpse. It would be ironic if the boob queen died and became his Shikabane Hime.

4 episodes left GAINAX. I do hope the studio manages to salvage an otherwise mediocre and incredibly disappointing project. overall, the series got a lot of hype from me after GAINAX's hot streak (FLCL, Diebuster and of course TTGL).

That had been bothering me.

I didn't like the first part of this episode, but when we got our focus back on Ouri the episode picked up. I am really glad I didn't drop this show, a fact that is all thanks to Funimation and my wanting to support their idea.

I am still upset over Minai's death. I really liked her.
It appears that Makina is going to be little kinder to Oori now that she's learned a little of his background.
I hope Nozomi Kasuga doesn't stick around. I can tell she's going to be quite annoying.

What's going with that random school girl though. She didn't really add much to the episode to be honest.

I'm glad we finally get some info on that cat though. Finally, after 70% of the season is over. I'm still curious about it's connection with Ouri. I haven't forgotten that the Betrayer Priest could also see and interact with the cat as well.

Why not tell ouri that shes really dead. wow this chick really has a thing for makina. im guessing ouri has some dark past cause the dead eyes,but dam why did his cat have to die. so im guessing the cat is somehow apart of him. so wheres there any point to the big booby girl?

I don't know if anything actually changed in this episode or if I'm just tired of what a load of mediocre shit this series is but I was actually kind of mad after watching this. Good lord its like the aimless nonsense of this show is being done on purpose or something. Honestly, sit down and take stock of anything in this show's story/universe that is actually explained to any real point of satisfaction and be amazed.

What actually are Corpses? Ehhh they're people that didn't want to die but died anyway and "somehow" turned into monsters. How are Shikabane Hime's different? Uhhhhh. The Kougon Cult seems bad but how and why are they bad? Uhhhhh. How about that Oori guy? He's the protagonist so he must be special. How and why is he special? Uhhhh, I guess he didn't have feelings as a kid or something maybe. Sure as shit couldn't tell that with how he is now. Are we going to finally find out anything about that invisible cat that talks to Oori at any point? Well, at some point it was a real cat. Does that explain anything to you? Fuck no.

And these dumbass character archetypes! Like without looking it up can anyone name any of those idiots on the student council? How would anything that happens in this show be any different at all if none of them existed? And the stupid titty girl hunting down Oori to tell him to stay away from Hoshi..zawa (honestly I don't even know what the main female character's name is anymore) without even knowing her name and then being shocked when he pulls a "no u" on her instead. And then because this show was made in 2008 for a manga from 2005 he grabs her tits in a big "comedic" misunderstanding.

Man, I knew I was expecting too much since this is deep in the Gainax back catalogue and barely has a 7 with less than 50,000 ratings but this show is really just crap. I mean, I'd probably have thought it was pretty alright if I were watching it in 2008 but there is not reason for anyone to ever watch this now.

Those who are fascinated with death, are inherently drawn to corpse princesses.
We learned more about the mysterious cat this episode with:
-Ouri being devoid of ability or emotion
-Ouri being a good kid
-Ouri's first emotion was crying/sadness after his attempt to revive the cat
-The cat spirit is him... them... their is a lot more to Ouri
-Cat spirit is him and only he can see him, but as we saw the rogue monk could see the cat, and then why can she see the cat now?!

That one girl I think was in love with her LOL
Shopkeeper is great keep spilling the tea and his corpse princess needs to stop him
5/5, we seem to be starting to get into those hellish star-sign people next episode. My bet is still on Ouri reviving her as a corpse princess, especially since she is in the new ending, also Ouri is a monk in the new ending.
We have female monk, but why are only females able to bond with them? I assume that's why the title is inherently "princess" but why?
