----------------------------------------
Ah good episode, we find out more about Hakumen no Mono while a bit more about youkai in general and Ushio's mother. The amount of build up in the episode is great along with some action.

Obviously, some others doesn't trust Ushio or Tora but still the episode itself has a good amount of tension. I think the story is really picking up now with the recent episodes. Whoa, the youkai that fought Tora is pretty strong as compared to some of the previous ones show.

This series just keeps on getting better and better

The second I realized that the old dude wasn't the husband of the old lady, I knew that he was a youkai...That was a really grateful development there especially since he turned out to be the leader of those youkai in that area

All of the little discussions and just emotional dialogue was beautiful and seeing everyone help Ushio out of the kindness of their hearts and then to see Tora not only save them all but accept his new self really made me smile

The action was really good as usual since this series has managed to consistently maintain that high level of intensity with each an every battle and I love that about this series (The only series this season that did this better imo was Rokka but this comes pretty close too)

This episode left me wanting to know more about Ushio's mother and why her family has been protecting Hakumen all these years though so I'm hoping that before this season ends we'll find that out

Another fun episode just as I'm used to by now. As a little warning in advance to the anime-only viewers, though - next week's episode is going to skip 21 (!) chapters, chapter 54~74. If you want to get the full story, read those before next week, especially since it actually does contain some fun mini-arcs. Due to those skips, either next week or the week after that should introduce my favorite character from the manga though, so I'm hyped already.

Ushio's Mom must have a very good reason for protecting Hakumen no Mono.
Glad Tora changed his mind and helped Ushio. There was no way he could have survived on his own. That fight at the end was good.

So there is a successor system behind protecting Hakumen no Mono and Ushio's mom isn't the first one.

Tora's smug-ass expressions during his fight seriously made this episode.

Oh, and the part where he tells Hitotsuki to call him Tora instead of Nagatobimaru. You know he's attached to Ushio already when he wants to be called the name he gave him (despite the fact that he whined at that name in the beginning of the series).

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

Holy shit 21 chapters!?!? Well.... guess I'm going to have to try to find some time to read the manga this week. Gonna be tough since I was planning to start reading Shokugeki no Soma and Rokka no Yuusha.

I think it's just some more monster of the week stuff that will obviously not have any significance in the anime's plot since it's skipped.

Hot damn they better be giving us all killer no filler if they are deciding to skip that much. I'll probably save the episodes it skips for when the split cour happens to keep me filled with some ushio and tora goodness during the 3 month gap

Why the heck they skip those chapters specially those chapters characters has an important role at the ending..

those 2 guys, that 1 girl, that guardian spirit and espeically the FOG!

they wanna show hakumen no mono last fight but they skip the FOG!(for manga readers you know what i mean with that FOG)xD

idk why they keep cutting the important contents there are more arcs that doesn't have much impact for the final battle later on that they can cut out or they can extend the episodes of the 2nd season..they shouldn't cut those chapters that has a role for the final battle i wonder how they will introduce them later since they cut on how ushio met them :3

The manga is over 300 chapters, so even at 5 chapters per episode that would still be over 60 episodes if they were to do it all. As it's only scheduled for 39 in total, some things are going to have to be cut. However, even though I am only half-way through the manga, it was still my impression that we had a couple of reasonably important supporting characters introduced in the skipped chapters. And once again let me remind folks that these are not just MotW episodes. They do introduce characters, like the Kamaitachi, who play important and recurring characters in the development of the story.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Not a bad episode but can Ushio stop screaming/talking so dam loud all the time? Then he also goes on grabbing the Tengu like he can do whatever he wants. It's like he knows he's got plot armor due to being the MC so he just doesn't give a dam lol.

exactly my point they should just cut episodes that doesn't introduce important characters that will have a role for the final fight or atleast include the chapters where they are atleast introduced so people will know them...

it would be weird that the anime only watchers will see them in the final battle having important role when they are not even introduced cause they have been cut...

since they have been cut already so i guess this won't be a spoiler anymore?

Mod Edit: Spoilers removed.

-plus it would be weird to skip that much chapters cause the next episode will takes place on another location cause the skip chapters supposed to have the content of ushio's(sea travel) it will feel like he just teleported from tohnoo to another location and not even by land distance but a sea distance LOL!

they could actually just cut the dull parts later on if they don't wanna add new chapters but cutting introductory parts for characters that has roles for final battle is kinda uncalled for.. unless they are planning to change the manga contents they are following thoroughly until now just to introduced those characters..

Mod Note: specific information about the cut chapters still counts as a spoiler. We don't know if they will introduce those characters later in an anime only context or as a rejigging of the timeline of when Ushio encounters them.

This is one of those shows that's outside my usual genres, but I still find it really interesting. I'm not sure what it is, but it's really compelling. Glad I gave it a chance.

Anyway, I hope they get onto the stuff with Ushio's mother sooner rather than later and don't have some kind of filler arc in-between. I have a feeling she's a massive bitch and I'm interested in seeing Ushio meeting her.

The episode ended too quickly, now you have to wait until next week, how sad! Oh well, let's force. Narratively, excluding the good feelings and the other forcing the shonen, which I appreciate, because we now live in a world devoid of all morality, I enjoyed the series of events offered. Plot quite sensible in his choices, drawings always look nice.

Argh, man! Some really fun stories being skipped. I mean, I knew this was coming, but...I really hope we can get some OVAs to cover skipped content.

Anyway, this was a pretty good episode. Tora continues to be the best character.

I'm thinkin' the same. Since they're chopping so much content, I'm guessing this is about the point where the main plot kicks in. Looking forward to it for sure. This has so far been a real fun show despite just being "Monster of the Week" bullshit, so I expect it to really stand out once there is more focus.

Sick of Tora using the excuse that he wants to eat Ushio and therefore doesn't let anyone else kill him. Wish he'd stop lying to everyone and just admit he has no intention of killing Ushio or of letting anyone kill Ushio at all because it's just becoming annoying. Other than that, decent episode.

That was an epic episode; the fights were seriously cool and especially the Hitotsuki vs Tora one. We get more info about his mom and a closer look on Hakuen no Mono, I can’t wait till he reaches her. I thought the old man’s nose was weird but when I saw the wings I knew he’s a tengu and it made a lot more sense.

So if Ushio's mom is in the Hizaki family, which we learned in early episodes is Mayuko's ancestor, that means she's also related to Ushio? Either way good stuff. Really love Hakumen's design.
