RAW came out! FINALLY the story is getting more intense! Keisei! Hang in there! Damn that cube liquid! Things are developing for sure! Akasha Shishidou is on the move and Keisei is CRITICALLY IN BED resting.

Funimation friggin' finally has subs for 7 out. What's this, another two-week wait for their already behind episode 8? Thbbbt.

Anyways, this episode is pretty different from the rest. It actually contained comedy, specifically from (and oddly enough) Makina. This arc's shikabane is pretty interesting, and we get a look into the past of the errant monk.

Anyone else think that the geography along the coastline there was a bit... abnormal?

Really nice action-packed episode. Had a few funny bits too. =D

Looking forward to Shikabane Loli next time.

Another really good episode.
That guy was the creepiest enemy we had so far (IMO). D:
Makina had some great facial expressions this time.

Nice episode. I finally don't regret starting this.

I like Minai the most out of the Himes. She got my sympathy. Moreover she is waking up my protector instincts (I bet this phrase sounds strange in English). It's a shame how she is treated.
The Hime with the licence to kill humans is rather interesting, too. Threading her own master.

We really had some comedy in this again, but even when it was funny, I kind of didn't get that last joke. He called her "hero" and she was getting mad, but why is he confused? He knew that she doesn't see herself as a hero.

Favourite scene of the episode:

This was a bad episode. I wasn't sure that it was possible to further convolute such a simple story, but I was wrong. Will Oori ever wonder why it's strange that he's talking to a cat? Will he ever wonder what the cat has to do with any of this? His ignorance is just a little to much for me to just wave off half of his actions. Why are you going to throw yourself off a cliff before you let anyone else know that you figured out this corpses' power? Ridiculousness.

That's what a shonen should be like : dark, with epic animation (thanks GAINAX once again), and more than just a simple and entertaining show. Certainly this series has its flaws, but it's so much better than most shonens out ther that I really appreciate it. Oh, and I like Ouri because he makes me think of Shinji ;)

Well, his brother mentionned something about his total indifference in the first episode, which makes hime completely indifferent towards talking to corpses and strange cats.....Apparently he lacks the common sense of fear normal humans have....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I've decided that Ouri is either Genre Savvy/Functional Genre Savvy or just stoopid. More likely the former — at least he's no Shirou.

reminds you of Shinji? I definitely wouldn't go that far when it comes to comparisons. But I loved, loved, loved this episode. I enjoyed it a lot, which hasn't happened at all throughout the first 6 episodes. its finally painted with GAINAX's colors (post FLCL) with the humor, erratic animation style, etc. this episode scores a ton of style points.

I'm getin used to Ouri's terrible voice acting, or it is getin to be a lil a bit better.
His part in the story still a mystery, at least he was useful in this episode.
And the fight was good in here, I enjoyed it a lot.
Overally the series got better, I hope they keep up with this.

Wow, Ouri actually DID something. Call the press and announce the red-letter day. Of course he did it rather self-sacrificingly. Kind of dumb. Good thing Minai went down to get him. Idiot. Nice cliffhanger though. But damn, what a guy to face off against.

Will have to wait for the next one till tomorrow sometime. Was it bad of me to want the thing to eat Minai's monk? I'm really tired of his attitude.

Can't wait for the rest!

The cold Makina is becoming more cute but the battles seem to be endless. This time, the Shikabane is claiming to be a hero of justice. *facepalm*

Oh my goddess, Shuji Isaki treats Minai Ruo like shit!! And then he had the nerve to kiss her!! I'm glad Minai pulled away!! I HATE him!! Minai doesn't deserve to be treated like that. She's the kindest Shikabane Hime I've seen so far.

I was wondering the same thing about the relationship between Makina and Keisei as well. There seems to be some affection there and it's really sweet to watch. I hope Keisei gets better soon.

The fight between Minai and Mitsuyoshi was quite nice, seems like the quality picked up again.
Enjoyed this episode.

Great episode.
Damn it, stupid cliffhanger >_>
Minai is quite great, and sexy. That story was cool. The battles are good.
Interesting villain.

I don't like Isaki either. He treats Minai like an object, and I hate that he forcefully kissed her like that.

On a more positive note, I'm really glad Ouri asked Makina if she was Keisei's girlfriend. Judging from that blush I think it's safe to say the answer is yes. I'm really hoping Keisei gets better and continues to battle with Makina.

I'm still not sure about Ouri's role in all this. He knew Mitsuyoshi was a corpse and yet he purposefully got involved despite Makina and Keisei's warnings. The boy just doesn't know when to quit ^^

well going by this history lesson im sure someone in the group try to screw over akasha making him go all evil. I guess makina may like her monk,but I dont think keisei sees it that way. Wow that bald monk is a douch and is rapey. ok ether this monster is hella weak or ouri is strong since he just speared the thing.

Well we got the chance to see a little glimpse into Minai past... I wonder why she made that decision that was left out of the explanation...

I really like the fighting style of Minai but I'm pissed AF because Isaki only treats her like a 'tool' instead of appreciating what a bombshell he has for a partner... *Sigh*

Baldy is such a freak.
Whenever I see villains like this, all I can think is to give it a hug hahaha
The classic "I don't have that body part to take damage there" that doesn't really help though, as need to take out the brain or destroy completely.
4/5, kid's an idiot, but for the most part I hella respect his actions.
