Well damn. The monster in this episode sure was strange but looked dangerous.

Oh poor dog and Shino this episode lol. That doll figure of the woman mentioned in the previous episode still creeps me out though with its hollow eyes.

That cherry blossom scene was beautiful. Daikaku had such a hideous father.

It was enjoyable as always.

There's a cherry blossom tree that's withering because that cat spirit forced it to keep blooming, for "kekkai" to keep that criminal from coming. ... real father?? That cat gave that ball for him to survive and killed him. That spirit is that doll maker father, right?? Not the one who he killed? That cat used up all his energy and saved him.

Interesting talk between the characters from HiroC and NamiDai. And what did HiroC's character do that made him forget that moment? It's nice that the doll is completed.

Looks like that shadow guy is appearing next ep.

So I guess this season we finally get into the main plot where the 8 people with the birthmarks all get their special marbles and resurrect the mean lady? As far as I can tell that's the main plot. Still, really love the art in this show.

So wait, Satomi is actually related to Shino??
And that was him in the flashback scene when little Shino was singing??

It's nice to finally see the main plot coming together with the beads and the 8 warriors

So it seems that Satomi and Shino is somehow related.. And that killer lady is from the Satomi clan?!?!?!

And that doll at the end! Looks so real.

Consistent and beautiful artwork as usual..

Nice episode, though they switched some stuff around a little like Shino singing when he was on Satomi's back, which works perfectly fine though. The lyrics to that song is really sad :( The monster also looked different, it's more defined in the anime. Poor kitty sacrificing himself. And awww Satomi and Shino, so cute. The doll was nicely made.

Yay we get to see Shino-sensei next week ^^ Looking forward to it.

The cat brought Daikaku back to life. Then sacrificing itself to protect him. That woman is related to the Satomi clan : 0. Shino's song was beautiful yet sad at the same time.
So Daikaku will join them when he moves to the capital. I hope Hamaji makes friends with her. Dat doll was beautiful.

Next week Shino goes to school XD. Oh the last member of the Eight Dogs.

I hope someone shoves that doll up your ass.


All the comments about the art. I agree though, I don't remember season 1 looking this lovely.
My eyes are thankful.

Now I'm interested in the connection between Shino and Satomi.

^lol.

The father monster reminded me of an akuma trying to take its loved one's body.

I'm also very interested in Shino and Satomi's connection, it would definitely seem that they are related or at least grew up together. Add that to the things we have to look forward to being delved into, with Sousuke and Shadow(?) Sousuke, and of course the daunting Fuse Hime. That is, after the last of the 8 dogs makes his appearance.

Really nice ending with the dolls, didn't see that coming.

Ahhhh oh god! I really want to know more about Rio and Shino now. How can they be related to one another?

I want the next episode already. But I'm so happy to see Rio-and-Shino time~

I felt really sad for Noro. . . He's not coming back is he? :/

Except for the hideous Daikaku's father, everything is so pretty. Love the sakura scene again.
Ep 1 showed the doll to be Rio carrying something but it's clear here now that he's carrying the small Shino. Gosh, that was another unexpected connection they both had, with a glimpse of their childhood past. I'd like to know in the upcoming episodes about their real relationship, including hime.
Can't help to say it again...this show has such a lovely ED.

I love how the plot is coming around! And I didn't want to believe it, but I knew that Satomi was somehow related to that doll woman...but I never expected Satomi to be related to Shino :o! (Plot twist x9,000 >_<!)

I think this series is coming around quite nicely, and I'm happy to see that it's going more in depth about the plot, rather than goofing off a lot, like in season 1.

What? Are you talking about the doll of Satomi and Shiro? Because 1) That's definitely not yaoi
2) That doll represents a strong frienship/family bond, not a lover bond.

So many new questions about Shino and Satomi and the woman, the maiden called Fuse or something, from the Satomi clan.
I really want to know why Satomi sealed Shino's memories (+ what happened in Shino's childhood with him) and how exactly they are related.

Next episode seems really nice, god I love this serie so much... I can't wait for next week yet I don't want it to come because it'll mean the end is getting closer too :(

Really good episode, I feel like a lot happened in just 20 minutes ^^
I can't exactly find words to describe Noro and his loyalty ^^
Great doll at the end, too.

Wow, the true plot is so deep, hopefully I'll be able to understand it when things start to get serious.

Really great series, I never expected so much when I first started on episode one of season one.

Interesting episode, there's something surreal and romantic about this series and how it really pays attention to the emotions at work in each of the near death experience stories with the different men.

Satomi is related to Shino? I did not see that coming, but he said that the blonde woman was a part of his household so I wonder what her relation is to them (possibly even their mother?).
