Heh, it's not everyday you get to see a giant talking cat.

What a weird episode with another case. It seems this show also deals with sorcery.

It seems like main guy's family is related to the historical person Seimei.

So there's a naming for the ear who can hear another talking. "Suna no Mimi", huh.

I've heard that Yui-chan will voice a character who will appear in ep.2, and she immediately appeared. Izumi Matsuno. She appeared when the two visited main guy and investigated the relation w. Suna no Mimi.

White cat with two tails from young time, who talks, is in there. It is guardian to the contents.

The tengu from the day before came to visit him. He thanked main guy for supporting the couple.

A couple witnessing a human riding another... very evil another?

Investigating the place that "Izuna case" happened. Then meeting 3 fairies without the flying powder who saw that exact another and the long hair human.

Then helping out with being "interpreter" to zashiki warashi. She wants to be called Suzu. Her hair was cut for seal, but was taken away by another that looks like human.

That long hair guy knows Seimei. Dead humans.. are they the humans who got killed in the cases?

It's another solid with the Yuki being my favorite character now. I really hope this show doesn't overdue the montages like a Shield hero.
It really do be like that though.

Alright pretty decent. Gotta wonder tho. I'm guessing all the materials the long haired dude was gathering was to do the undead corpse thing, but it also kinda seemed like he was setting it up to trap Arata since he's a decedent of the Seimei or whatever. But from the timelines this long haired dude had been gathering stuff long before Arata realized his ability. So what was he just doing the zombie thing for a laugh and then happened to find Arata as the Seimei, and for whatever reason has some past beef. Well I guess we'll find out next episode.

I was surprised when the cat yokai said 'ore' .

The backstory was interesting. Though, I am having a hard time remembering where I have heard the name "Abe no Seimei" before.

I thought this anime would be a comedy, but I guess I was wrong. Still, this is quite entertaining.

Abe no Seimei is a really famous name in the japanese history and appears in several manga and litterature.

In Nurarihyon no Mago for exemple.

The cat was cute, but I didn't like how they overuse echo effect on Anothers' voices, could become annoying the more of them speak.

Also pity, this has such a bland animation. The story isn't bad and with some quality direction it could be really good, but so far the only prominent thing here is VA cast. Not sure if it's worth watching further.

I think I'm about to leave this anime. In trailer it looked good, but after seeing the first and second episode I do not think the same. I'll have to watch the third episode to see if it's worth following.

In opinion to the episode, apparently the reason by which the protagonist has the power to communicate with the Another is because it descends from a mysterious family.

2 traps in a show! The Taisha is a cool design, too bad the art is pretty meh.
Furry confessed on ep2, "I want to be with you", it's a bit early but cute. You may now fluff dat cat, and there's double the tail.
Wish Romeo & Juliet can work out (better not be a forgotten episodic plot).
Dead wife hairstyle woman is Yuki's neighbor...
The detective plot & music are the main draw for now.

I was already looking forward to this anime, but this episode was even better than the first one! So it seems Arata is related to Seimei which explains why he can understand the yokai. I am wondering about the story behind the seal though. I love how this anime is giving me Natsume Yuujinchou and Fukigen na Mononokean vibes! Also, I want a cat! :) Can't wait for next week.

I'm definitely still on board with this show, but this episode seemed to cram an awful lot in. I'm hoping they explain it all in the next episode because otherwise, it's going to be so confusing/unnecessary.

And a big fluffy two-tailed cat? This show got bonus points. Every show is made better with a token pet.

I kinda want to keep watching because of the nekomata and Seo but I just can't. The overall story so far just isn't interesting to me. Oh well.

I'm still liking this show. I don't love it (yet) because of many factors such as the budget, bland style of animation, fast pacing and mediocre bgm, op and ed. However, the story and characters have potential. Two traps so far: Seo and the ganguro guy. I'm sensing some BL elements here between Arata and the new character.

I love Nekomata though. He is adorable with his two tails and being able to change his size. Him being a giant cat reminds me of Kyaa, who is also a giant cat from Please Save My Earth.

I think I'll definitely stick around and watch until the end since it is only 12 episodes. I wish they could've gotten a bigger budget for the animation and everything else.

Hated the first episode, glad i stuck around. The cat was cool, the story seems to have potential and with a bit of work and improvement we could have some fun here. We need better animation and more fleshed out characters, with actual personality. Its still pretty weak so far but i'll give it another shot!

Hey look, another trap xD

The pacing is too fast!

So, our protagonist has the power because he descends from a mysterious family.
