Touji seems to be somewhat reasonable and having an interesting past.

Yes, because getting angry over somebody incessantly telling you how to spend the rest of your life makes you clueless.
Every single scene with this chick paints her as a manipulative bitch.
A lot of people seem to think that's attractive, as long as she's "cute" (bouncy tits way too big for her age and blushing do count as cute, I believe).

I'm not sure about this one yet. We'll have to wait and see.

I think I'll enjoy this series.

The first thing I thought when I saw the hummers was Hot Wheels! Haha. .

That ending song was good as well.

After watching the first episode of Nagi No Asukara i was already getting the *feels* and after watching episode 2 today and seeing the NTR route progress just cut that bit deeper.

So i think to myself "i know, i'll watch something to get this taste out of my system, oh Tokyo Ravens that's looks good i could add that to my Sat schedule to watch after Nagi, it looks like the perfect follow up, it has action and supernatural elements, hints of romance, perfect".

Wrong!, well in the case of this episode anyway. Talk about twisting the knife, i already felt bad and now i feel even worse, especially after the NTR ending and seeing Hokuto witnessing that (it also doesn't help the fact that i can now see it getting progressively worse for her now that Natsume's character has been introduced).

Iv had to include a show between the two to act as a buffer, that being Coppelion (admittedly not my best choice, would have preferred Gingitsune but that doesn't air until Sunday and i need that after watching Sekai de Ichiban).

To sum up i enjoyed the episode, i like the lore and the clans the show is introducing, already like the characters (especially Hokuto and i can also see myself liking Natsume further down the line as those archetypes strike a chord with me). BUT FOR SANCTITY OF ALL THAT IS HOLY if your one who those people who once they get attached can't let go i wouldn't recommend watching these two one after the other. It would be like watching all the sad episodes of The Eccentric Family without any of the uplifting ones.

That's turned out to be longer than i expected but i felt it needed to be said.
Thoughts?

The wait is finally OVER! I've been reading the manga but the translations were so darn slow :/ SO GLAD TO IS 2 COUR.
I loved the OP and ED. Audio between the voices and background sounds/explosions seemed a bit off at times while I was watching...

The characters blush so much that it started to feel strange after the first half of the episode.
The animation was good until the CGI showed up. Especially that creature felt badly done.
And we have another "lollipop girl" this season. :P
Also, the plot doesn't seem too interesting.
I don't know about this one, but propably will keep on watching.

Awesome OP song, and beautiful animation. Hokuto x Harutora seems like my kind of ship so far, with all the blushing and the rivalry and all the chemistry! He obviously has a crush on her too. Don't know why people hate her... for being a tomboy? Doesn't make any sense... His friend is such a bro. That lolita was... woah... but she is really hatable for kissing him infront of Hokuto, like seriously; people hate Hokuto and not that blondie? Don't worry Hokuto, I will support you and you only. I don't care about other girls in this anime, Haru x Hokuto forever for now.

9/10 and man, that ending song was BEAUTIFULLL!

And that's the last of this season's anime started.

What is that blonde girl's game? Attacking them, threatening Natsume, acting as if she's about to kill Hokuto... and then kissing Harutora?

^ I also thought that she is going to kill her. I guess she has a messed up personality.

Anyway the animation looks good and OST's are great. I thing I will never get used to the way they blush :P

5/5

Sugoi!

Series I was waiting for !
Now the background story XD
So ... after I came back from summer vacation , in looking at one of the many video clips on the "tube", I had come across on the PV of that souls! My happiness was at its highest , I do not know why, but I really liked it!
And starting it today was not disappointed ! * _ *
Let's start with the plot, it is now hard to find something new and original, but my attention was directed more to the way in which it developed , from this point I was not very disappointed , beginning calm logical explanations and not smoky , you understand well the various roles . The other crap ... oh well , I do not even notice ! LOL
The narrative , the other thing that it went well. Comic and serious at the same time the same without exaggeration . Here has benefited many design, very well done and the character design ! : D
The study 8bit worked fine as far as his field of expertise giving us a 3DCG animation and good , it reminded me a lot of that seen in F / Z! * _ *
Ultimately , the characters are all promoted even if the girls are a little obvious, yet in their roles , and the protagonist always remind me of the usual idiot , while the bully is the usual hunk !
So the 5/5 for me is more than deserved ! Nothing out of place for which there is the need to lower the voting!

Dat chocolate banana.

Damn that's pretty fucked up kissing him like that... I hope Hokuto is alright after this. Pretty much stole what was probably her dream ending for that night.
But I gotta give her credit for that line "I hate the countryside... because there's too many bugs!"... lol.

Not sure how I feel about those blushes, they're drawn kinda weird... but I think I'll hopefully get used to them.

The opening sort of gives me Kingdom Hearts / Utada Hikaru vibes.

Ohhh so glad someone else noticed this. Wonder if she'll "train" Hokuto.

Enjoyable first episode, really feels right to watch this after an episode of Strike the Blood. A quiet start but the way the magic is used is fascinating and I want to see more of it. Yay HanaKana is in this too. Suzuka is one crazy gal, a masochist's ultimate dream.

Loving the OP too, an intense and mysterious atmosphere. Reminds me of Higurashi's.

Strange start, but all together it looks promising.
If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Even the dog was blushing.

That was kind of bad really. The characters are so anime mediocre anime typical stuff. I feel like i have seen each one of the a thousand times and there whole cute thing looked like some imitation Key type anime thing.
Whatever lets hope it will get better.
