THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Alright well, I love this series so much I decided to watch this ep raw.
FREAKY SHIT.

Whoever thought this up is on acid or something. Now I definitely understand "Out of Body Experience", though turning into a ghost to do it isn't what I was expecting. Looks like they go back and do it again from the preview.

I'm really interested in Tarou's weird visions/hallucinations. He sees something very real..then runs...turns a corner...and it's gone. I'm curious if they're really there (like how Miyako can actually see things) or if he's just losing it.

God damn, I love Masayuki.
His reaction to the haircut purification was effing gold. Tarou's and Makoto's were good too...but damn. I lol'd so hard. Makoto's new haircut as seen in the preview looks nice. Lol at the stupid bandanna Masayuki's wearing to cover up his lack of longness in the back :P

I love Masayuki's character, and I love how this show can balance humor and the creepy factor perfectly. And I like how I don't really needs subs to understand everything since it's so visual.

Yes yes, I'm a walking Ghost Hound advertisement, sue me~.

Pretty much everything about this episode was crazy/creepy. Loved it.

The scene with that person running in the corridor behind Taro was especially weird.
The out of body part was pretty cool, the whole part with all the guys and Miyako freaking out and breathing heavily was great and really well done.

I definitely can't wait to see more of this series.

Best episode yet. I'm glad that we are finally getting an idea as to what type of show this really is. Yes, Masayuki is awesome. During the first two episodes, I thought he was just some annoying bastard but now I know better.

Gotta love the whole out of body sequence. The character designer deserves an award. Fully transparent bodies except for eyes, ears, and ass = win.

pretty nice ep! those chibi ghosts rox lol
else, totally respect for Makoto! i didnt expect Makoto to be so advanced, without him they would be stuck there for life.

Great episode, I really loved the sound effects and the visual direction was amazing, they made the episode all the more exciting.^^,
And the astral projection scene with those little big-headed bodies was pretty weird.

I'm getting interested in Tarou's 'visions', it looks like he has a similar ability with that of the shrine girl. The corridor scene was especially creepy. @_@

Major props to Makoto, he was calm and collected when facing an unfamiliar/weird situation. And it's pretty funny to see Masayuki's scaredy-cat reactions, especially the haircut scene (vain much?), lol.

What a weird episode. Masayuki is so full of hot air. The fact that he called Makoto a chicken in the last episode for not wanting to go with them to the hospital is doubly hilarious because Makoto was the one who was calm and in charge this episode while Masayuki was spazzing out at everything. Poor guy seems to be afraid of scissors too?

I wasn't expecting their OBE forms to be chibi Caspar ghosts. They're just a little too cute. It'll be interesting to see where the series goes from here.

I gotta say, awesome episode. They're chibi spirit forms were so cute xD .. Though I wonder why their butts weren't transparent. This series gets more interesting by the episode, can't wait to see more.
Also, the ending was great. =P I wonder why he was so afraid to cut his hair...

lol I took a snapshot of that scene just to post, but you got ahead of me :p. That scene was win.

The whole episode was win actually. Loved the OBE scenes as well as the scene when by Tarou was being chased by the girl surrounded by darkness.
For a second there it crossed my mind that they had returned to the wrong space/timeline when I saw the two people (Miyako and her father) in kimono's... but that was just my imagination flying :P

I'm wondering who that fat person (that appeared the moment the 3 were descending from the mountain) was. It crossed my mind that it could be Makoto grandmother. Still too soon to tell though.

I litterally lol'd out loud at that breathing part. Too funny XD. Tarou starts breathing loudly as he see's his sister, then the other 2 walk up behind him and start doing it too, i really thought at first they were just immatating him to annoy him or something XD. But whatever, lolz.

This series is awesome, i can see what's probably going to go on in this series now.

It was really an O.B.O. - Out of Body Orgy.

I thought I was the only one, lol. I swear, if someone walked in on them at that moment, would be like "WTF?".

I adore Masayuki. He's the one who decides to do things, but in the end, he's the first to freak out. At first I thought the little ghost freaking out was Tarou, but then I noticed the eyes (their eyes are so cute!), and noticed it was Masayuki. He's such a girlie.

This anime is very interesting. Eerie atmosphere, with very good characters and animation. Every time Tarou has one of his visions, I can feel my own heartbeat increasing. Pretty spooky. I can't wait for more.

the story seems very heavy so far, however it is hard to take it seriously when they, as above poster said, turn in to transparent babies with skinned asses.

also something about the character design makes the show far less creepy. something about their eyes i think.

So getting a blowjob transports you to the spirit world?

Up to this point I was tolerating the character designs, but the out-of-body main characters are a new low. They look like an early rejected concept for Twilight Princess. If only Nakamura had just worked with Yoshitoshi ABe again, we wouldn't have had this problem.

The episode was great, until their souls escaped from their body.
I mean, am I the only one who thought that it was completely unnecessary and totally random? I seriously hated that part.

No, no, I don't hate it at all. And the synopsis already said that they're so likely gonna experiment on that experience, I'm expecting that to appear again in future episodes.

The girl chasing Taro back at the corridor was made of horror win, and their Casper souls were so weird I adore them. Lol I can see their astral intestines. Gah love this anime so much.

Can't say i liked the "chibi" stuff or what ever you want to call it. The hallway ghost scene was kinda ruined by Tarou blurting out his line.
