| Heh, Hyouma gets into another fight again...seems to be a recurring trend at this point. It seems not everyone dislikes him so far though, perhaps he can make friends with Kagami. Still, he has to earn the trust of others. Botan seems to also get along somewhat well with him. |
 |
| Hyoma's introduction into the Nagatsuki tsukomogami family for the year-long period of stay, and it's hard to even think that she hasn't heard of the Saenome, which polices the tsukumogami. It's for a good reason because Botan actually is the actual opposite of Hyoma, where she loves and cooperates with them. For that, getting 3 days or get booted otherwise, to test of his grit and resolve to work together, Hyoma has no choice but to concede to them, especially Nagi. The tsukumogami however, still have their reservations on him and being friends. Earning all of the tsukumogami's approval in this short amount of time, Hyoma may be uptight, but at least he keeps his promises. On both Suzuri and Kagami's side, they're clearly acting as humans on how they were taught by Botan, each of them are different in their own ways that Hyoma must contend to. Their job on getting a paper mortar tsukumogami evaluated and certified for human life: Suzuri acts as the proxy while Kagami acts as the intermediary of the assessment. Even unexpectedly when it trickes to attack knowing the Nagatsuki name, they were able to get it under control. With that, Hyoma gets Nagi, Suzuri and Kagami's approval, with more left to go. A good start for Hyoma. |

| Liked this ep better than the first one lol. Botan is really cute. Honestly I don’t blame Hyoma for hating the spirits so much, but just like IRL, you can’t use the actions of a few to paint an entire race and he’s slowly but surely realising that. I thought the dude who got chopped in half was really done for and we’d have some dark twist lol. True ED!!! LETS GOOO |
 |
| Connecting with tsukumogami goes a little too easy. I'd say characters switch emotional states too quick in general. It feels a little rushed but still better than the first episode. I'm not expecting anything original here but it looks like a keeper, unless it jumps the shark making the guy sacrifice himself for some random tsukumogami or something like this. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Indeed careless in trying to provoke others into a fight. Still a year long home stay huh this should be a valuble learning experience. That is if Hyoma is willing to learn. Not the best of first impressions huh. Still working to earn their respect is something that i didn't imagine Hyoma doing. It's interesting seeing the Tsukumogami try and learn more about human society though. Given their rep its no wonder their kind would see them as murderers. Still im glad that Hyoma was able to stay his hand there Though he really started off on the wrong foot Hyoma did well to earn the respect of three of the Tsukumogami. Overall a fun ep that had a nice balance of lore and character expansion. Hyoma is still a tad rash in making judgements but looks like thats slowly changing. Next ep looks set to intruduce out first proper villains. |

| Yawn... yes it definitely is the oh-so-obvious plot here... darn it. I mean this is absolutely nothing special at all. But sure, there needs to be these types of plots as well so the actual good ones get to shine. |
| i like this anime even though its generic :) |
 |
| well it wasn't amazing but it was definitely better than last weeks episode. mortar chick's leg was kinda interesting. next weeks episode is called overflow, not the one i'm familiar with ig. |
 |
| Didn't quite expect battle shounen coming into this anime, which is pretty much what this is. Strong personalities, that's for sure. |
| Nince progress from the MC, he certainly started liking them, otherwise there is no way he would have bonding time with them while training. |

Hyouma is probably my least favourite part of the series because he's just so caught up in his grief. They didn't mention how long ago the incident with Umbrella was but he looks much older than he did in the flashback. What was his grandfather doing between then and now? I have too many questions and I hope we get some answers. |
| Another 'ok' episode. It looks like Botan was raised by the tsukumogami living in her home whereas Hyouma lost two siblings because of a rogue one. I thought Botan should've asked Hyouma why he doesn't like/trust tsukumogami instead of storming off and he could've also asked why she lives with them. Maybe they will talk about their experiences in a future episode as it should help them understand each other better. |
Marinate1016 said: I do think there is a pretty significant difference between him hating all tsukumogami and a racist irl though. The tsukumogami have supernatural powers that they could - and sometimes do - use to attack normal people if they wanted. Irl there's no overwhelming combat advantage unique to a race, they're just other humans. As in, there's an actual reason to be scared of the tsukumogami as a race.Liked this ep better than the first one lol. Botan is really cute.

LETS GOOO Of course, not all of them are like that and it's great the mc is actually trying understand that. I really like how straightforward he is as a character. It does feel like he's being accepted a bit too quickly but it's only 12 episodes and it's honestly kind of nice to be getting an arc that would usually take quite a while out of the way like this. |
| Botan and Hyoma are exact opposite of each other and things looked rough at first but it should improve slowly. For now he has three signs, more to come soon ig. |
 |
| This definitely felt like an improvement from the last episode! I didn't enjoy the first episode that much but I'll admit this got me hooked! Looking forward to seeing where this goes from here! |
 |
| The first episode was a bit bland, this one was much more intriguing. The characters are interesting and the world building too. There is defenetly potential in this show. |
| following last week fight, main girl had to appologise, but main guy knew he was also at fault doesn't make him look any less scary haha just like Hyouma, i have to wonder what Botan powers are, as she is the master of 6 youkais while, yes, youkai are different from human, maybe they are monters... but ... are humans safe to be with? do they never betray others? are there no dangerous humans? that logic is quite bad lol this fucking idiot lmao imagine going to someone's house, asking them to let you live there, just to start talking shit about the people who live there and wanting to take action agains't them ... i can't even... whatever dude, Jesus Christ... lucky him that the girl is nice enough to give him a chance of redemption lol everyone ignoring him let me guess, he will need to ask the guy who is outside since that one can't leave anyway nvm, he can leave the rope alone Botan felt bad for only giving 3 days, she is too nice "how can you hunt your own kind" as if humans never hunt other humans, these questions... small Botan kawaii that towel demon thinking he was strong just cause he beat a couple delinquents lol mc beating him while smiling, creepy he told Nagi about his past and why he wants to become stronger, to avenge his simblings, that's an important step... probably the girls don't want anything to do with him tho lols Botan doesn't like the way he is so stiff and stressed oh a playboy youkai, Hyoma is not happy about that :D a waste of money or not, even youkai want to eat good things or use good clothes, Hyoma finally understanding that they have feelings oh another youkai that decided to keep living, let's see what Hyoma has to say about that, let's hope he doesn't instantly hit her lmao Kagami (nice name for a mirror) has a pretty cool skill, not only it looked awesome, but being able to see people's past is useful wow the youkai sure panicked there, no one was attacking her but just hearing the name made her afraid, holy shit that scared me when she cut Suzuri,good thing Hyoma saved Kagami he almost sealed the youkai but her tears stopped him oh Suzuri is back, good, i wonder what object gives him that regen power lucky her that they left her after the shit she did, Suzuri is a nice guy lol Kagami was fast to accept him, i mean, he saved her and managed to not kill the youkai, something he would have done without any mercy before the push ups part was funny, Kagami was cute, and i didn't think he would accept Nagi to join, isn't that too much weight? also just how much is his training quota? is this one punch man? Yuu episode next, see doesn't seem like an easy opponent |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Another show that I’m enjoying and looking forward to each new episode. I can’t wait to see how Hyouma wins over the rest of the Tsukumogami. It was funny how Botan kept saying how uptight Hyouma is. It’s going to be nice to see their relationship develop as well. Good show so far! |
 |
| I'm really loving this. Feels nostalgic for some reason. |

| Botan seems interesting and the writing is fine, the animation might be rough but I enjoyed the episode. |
| That Tsukumogami just attempted to kill these people on an impulse. Surely she shouldn't be allowed to just walk free in a world where other Tsukumogami are actively hunted and sealed for much the same reason. |

| Honestly I thought Hyouma was going to be more of an asshole. But it seems the man is capable of looking at reality objectively and recognize his mistakes. That is enough to make him a good and interesting MC. Now I am way more invested into the story and the development it will present in the future, since Hyouma seems to be giving it his all to actually change his way of seeing Tsukumogami. |
