It gets harder and harder from here on. So expect lots of epic lines from Keima in the following captures :D


Kanon faces saying "Yoroshiku ne" was kinda irritating. Other than that, great episode. I knew this would end at Keima's "I can see the ending" line, though I don't remember this Citron business. Next episode would wrap up this arc but I hope it won't take up the whole episode. Well, I wouldn't mind but there will be angry people here :3.

Uhm~ I don't think I understand that.. ^.^;

I put it on spoiler because it might be reveal the way Keima choose to end the arc...

Yes, it will become more harder in the second season... ^.^
And about the episode, I think Kanon’s arc should only have 2 episode. They drag it too much. Not that I’m complaining, since I like both this arc and Kanon… ^.^

@belatkuro
It will take one episode... Just look at the next title... And Citron case can be read on the omake...

Giving her light can be though in the most sense as giving her what she lacks how it will be portrait will be to see in the next episode. Thing is about parts getting harder, I assume the next girl will be harder than this one? I will see to it anyways in the manga but I am wondering about her already.

Yeah, Keima did give her confidence and courage that what Kanon lack...

Well, personally, I think Shiori's arc is not as harder as previous two... The only hard part is her personality....

Oh I see, well then time to analyze that personality from the manga and see how much insight I can get into it. PM a spoiler of her personality for now. I don't mind it.

On a different note it looks like the mom is being shown much more to conclude she can have rather drastic personality changes for one I think her scolding lasted over 2hrs and 30 minutes according to the clock.

Also why did he blush when he was listening to her song on his PSP? I though that 3D girls did not have an effect on him?

nah, he was pretty much embarrassed that's why he blushed xDD
..and I thought it was because of the cleavage.
I think he's just a slut that can blush on demand....

It's funny that he can 'win' with girls he doesn't even seem to like.
...Or am I projecting? Maybe it's just me who doesn't like the girls. Either way -- Keima looks bored.

That sums up my feelings pretty well. Personally, even though I could tell that they were stretching it out a little bit, I didn't mind. I've found all the episodes really enjoyable, and with the exception of the song inserts last week, I'm happy with the pacing.

@atruong18 My fuzzy memory of the explanation seems to coincide with what you said. I'm a little sad for all the Kanon hate in here, because it's not exactly in her character to act like that, but I already rambled about that last week.

yeah. this same discussion about 'kanon isnt normally like this' and whatnot has been repeated so many times already. we just have to wait until her arc finishes before we find out if people's opinion changed (possibly not), but at the very least some people would understand a bit more about the loose souls contamination business (kusunoki).

as for the apollo business, you can really tell the artist's improvement from the first chapters to that chapter with how she was drawn. that was one of the factors that made me notice her more than before, along with how cuter she looks in glasses.

I'm guessing the next episode will wrap up the Kanon arc. If this will be a standard season(12-13 episodes), I'm guessing we'll get another filler episode before it ends. Unless they're going to devote that many episodes to the final girl this season.

Did they explain why she goes invisible? I know it was asked during the episode, but I never heard the explanation for it.

They were some doubts that the lost soul could be responsible along with hints that it's Kanon's main fear if not being recognized by all that could trigger the invisible state.

IMO I say it's just the lost soul feeding on her emotions that gives her that state.

So I raise my eyebrow and ask if can it be that a loose soul consume its own prey? I will doubt it since it wants a place to stay but can it then possess its prey? 2 interesting questions that I wonder about.

You know i also kind of dislike people that can't stay for a minute without attention and they go crazy not leaving you in piece if you become close with them, but i kind of have the feeling that some here dislike her a little out of jealousy too. She represents the famous human archetype that many dislike due to a little jealousy(even if you ain't an attention whore all humans like some attention) too and not just for the attention whoring.

Anyway next episode we will see the full extent of her character and why she acts the way she acts so we can judge better.

Personally i found Keima's tactic strange this time. Giving her exactly what she thought she wanted, didn't seem like the right tactic to me. I believe he was doing it a little wrong and now he will fix it.

Not at all but the problem is that she feels bad if she does not get everyone's attention. Not all like Idols or all Idols at all. Kanon seems to force everyone into liking her and if not she gets a personal offence to the point of depression. Other things too like not being able to swim. All in all Keima fixing that should be the end of her arc.

I hope they flesh that out more since it did not leave much a impression on me in the manga other than a blinding light let's just say.

At first, in chapter 1 it was stated that females are targeted because once they have kids, the loose souls can spread out more through the kids (although getting to the point to get married and have kids is questionable). though this explanation could possibly be only a premature thought considering its ch1 one-shot type of deal.

let's say that at first the girl's heart has 5% negativity (kanon's fear of being forgotten) but it was never to an extent that it controls her life, just a lingering feeling from her past and her singing group friends. the loose soul feeds off this negativity and expand it, eventually giving an outer effect to the victim (kanon's excessive behaviors and disappearance).

future girl spoilers to add on to above:


comparing to a different series in mind, i would say that both the anime and manga, since kanon was the first character to have these loose soul contaminations, it leaves a bigger impression on us compared to the later captures, since it showed an extreme side to it instead of a slow build up to that point (simple, simple, difficult, medium vs simple, medium, simple, difficult).
showing an extreme example at the start instead of a build up causes people to reject the person more usually, until the character redeems him/herself at a later point. on the same note, because of the rejection of an early character, people accept the later characters more easily because its typical for people to compare characters with another (usually compared to the previous character or favorite character, but hate is compared more to love)

i really need to get out of the habit of writing semi wall of texts

"The game design for real life is so flawed"


From time to time I tend to come to the same conclusion my self.

She is being more of a pest this episode that the last one, but that just adds more to the charm of this series.

And yes a reversal of roles. Keima is now that one that is being charmed. I was hoping more of a battle royal where both are trying to win each others hearts. Who ever says yes first looses.

I only roll my eyes with bunch of mean comments about Kanon. You guys should realize this that this show deals with the behavior of the loose spirits and how Keima captures them. The first two girls (Ayumi and Mio) have only weak loose souls so it was no big deal for Keima. As the series continues, the loose spirits tend to be stronger than before. The loose soul consumes/contaminates the hosts and making them worse.(You can tell if their condition have worsen when the appearance of the spirit shows) I didn't find anything for me to hate Kanon instead she made me wants to support her xDD

Well the first few episodes of this series didn't go deep until later part and you guys will go "ahh, that make sense" xDD

Of course that makes quite sense in a lot of other animes. Once the loose souls possesses' the kid only way to get rid of it is killing the kid or if it's a girl falling in love with her (that would also be loli type should it happen).

5% Only? That is rather harsh for the effect it has already. Imagine 50% rate how harsher it should get.

The first 2 girls(Ayumi and Mio) have about 20% less so you can't see the loose soul's plague. Well I want to assume that Ayumi suffered when she trip and make a crack on the wall but that isn't the case xDD
In Kanon's case, she only suffered about 40% since the symptom was there which is transparency but it's not permanent yet xDD

I meant that before the loose souls entered her body, she had a lingering worried feeling (a negativity of 5%). i would agree with the 20% gdone123 said, if we assume the loose soul detector only reacts if the contamination reach a certain level (lets say 10%). if not then it should've reacted earlier or numerous times at once.
but as i said, the numbers arent official, its made up by me, so your guess is as good as mine.

response to medium vs simple question (beware of the wall of text(s):
