Damn the horror is pretty good for anime. Kikoushi Enma definitely ranks right up there with stuff like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Denpateki na Kanojo.

This episode alone could be adapted to live action movie and I wouldn't mind at all lol. That house was damn creepy. How the characters got there was also interesting.

@kayze

yeah the sudden change from cool brutal demon hunting into creepy ghost mansion is interesting. I didn't notice it til I kind of got goosebumps haha. I'm really into the creepy atmosphere and the mystery now.

Yeah Kappa was a true bro. Didn't expect for him to actually buy it like that. He'll be missed ;_;

Aww Kappa-chan & his girl died. He WAS such a bro. :(

So I'm guessing...

So the final showdown will be Enma vs. Yukihime. Still can't get over the fact that Yukihime prolly killed kappa. Damn that's cold.

Was anyone else getting Deja vu from that house? It's totally Resident Evil styleee. Even some of the corridors were exact. Good vibe dude. Loved that game.

A nice pun.

Quite a nice episode, though I felt the atmosphere could have been even darker. Also I really thought Daiko and Ayu were lesbians on a hiking trip until episode four... Come on, Ayu massages Daiko's breasts playfully and Daiko doesn't freak out?

Hm, maybe that's supposed to show that they're weird and immoral or something. Boo.

What the heck happened? The beginning was decent, but after Kapaeru got killed, it became really bland and boring. Too bad the next episode continues this...

the first two episodes of this where terrible tbh but this episode was prtty damn scary but seriously this mc is the biggest and most useless and nasty jerks ive seen in an anime i mean if he wasnt such an ass and helped save people rather than letting them be killed or injured he cld have saved so many people and now look wat his attitude has caused this episode and i guess the next have some rlly gd premise and they cld probably been a movie on there own the other 2 shld jst not have been written

After teh first half, the whole plot did a total change-up. I was completely confused at first, but then things started to fall into place. Really good setup for the final episode.

Poor Kapa! My jaw literally dropped when I saw what happened to him!

I find it funny how they fell for cliche horror plot twice.
As in they all could have just died from their first encounter with Yukihime, but instead they get into the house and quickly start splitting and separating again.

Also Enma is really bad at his job. It get even retroactively worse considering the first demon is still alive and the former host died as well.
