| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to superstitions, so it was interesting to see this theme in the episode. The flashback of Watanuki and his beliefs in superstitions was nice to watch, and the ending was pretty light-hearted and funny, as usual. I wonder, does Doumeki have a key for Watanuki's apartment? xD |
| I think they could have done a lot more with this topic and episode really. A little disappointed with it but it was ok. |
    |
| Gotta love the ending of this ep |

| lol Doumeki popping up = win ^^ This show makes me so hungry T_T.... and the superstitions thing was interesting.... Watanuki's story was sad T~T But him turning into a cow in his dream.... xD- screenshot moment =3: |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Yeah, this ep could have been better. It was another Twilight Zone worthy episode though. |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| Err...I cut my nails at night > < Hahahah, how the heck did Doumeki pop in XD |
 |
| True or not, superstitions are really powerful! |
 |
| Wow Domeki rocked in this episode, otherwise another solid effort making me think about stuff I normally don't. |
| My anime list |
| I think Yuuko sent him for the brandy simply because he'd find the book. I like how Yuuko has all of these hidden agendas. She really seems to care about Watanuki, even if he doesn't realize it. Doumeki cares about him, too. Watanuki can be so dense! ;-) |
| this ep was fun. loled at watanuki charging at himawari yelling moooooo. rofl never been much of a superstitious person. i'd believe to be one to make my own luck and misfortunes, everything else is left to coincidence. |
| Didn't appeal to me that much. I won't dare say that I don't believe in superstitions at all,but the ep went a bit too far. You can't really turn into a cow just for lying down right after you eat can you? XD But Watanuki's past was indeed sad. And the moment when Yuuko put her hand on Watanuki's head....<3<3<3 |
| Ok, so Doumeki has upgraded to breaking (so to speak) into Watanuki's house... lovely. I found this episode interesting. I'm not a superstitious person at all. I've clipped my nails at night and I've walked under ladders, and nothing has changed. However... if I saw what Watanuki saw, I'd probably be a believer. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| I hated this episode. A lot of the episodes have some deep truth behind them. I can't see any message behind this episode other than "Believe in superstitions." The exchange that Yuko and Watanuki have about how things that are passed down through generations must be valid and true or they wouldn't be passed down, is total crap. There are lots of things that have been passed down (not just including superstitions) that have been totally wrong. Okay, so they passed down for a couple thousand years that the Earth must be flat. Does that mean there's validity to it? No, it just proves that people make their own conclusions and can be wrong about it. Even if you do believe in superstition, I don't think any superstitious people think they're better than other people. Yet... the ending... no. |

Trojun said: A little disappointed with it but it was ok. Same here. I liked the episode, however... I felt like something more could have been added or something. Not sure why I found this one less entertaining, despite all the strange suspicions. And Doumeki's a little creepy, what with his ability to just appear randomly in Watanuki's apartment or even enter when he's not wanted. (So either Watanuki is really, really tuned out when he reads manga, or Doumeki is a ninja.) lotrus28 said: I wonder what Yuko ate before she met Watanuki? I was wondering this myself! And she must have an incredible metabolism, being able to lie around and not exercise but still not gain any weight despite all the sake she drinks and fancy meals she eats. XD |
| I slept halfway through... |
 |
| Another great episode. I loved the insight on how superstitions can play just as much an important role in life as realistic ideals can. This series definitely makes the word ''originality'' have new depth to it. Looking forward to the next! |

| Didn't really liked this episode... Oh well lets see what the last 3 will give us! |
 |
| Haha keeps getting better and better! |
 |
| How will the Yuuko lived without Watanuki. |
 |
| Aah! I always cut my nails at night :O Seeing what was about to happen to Watanuki, I am scared, I admit. Good episode. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| In which Yuuko sets up a death trap for Watanuko to proove that people, in fact, can turn into cows. |
| Umm... A Decent Episode, previously one was much Better. |
 |
| LOL @ Watanuki's "No!" xDD |
| I'm pretty sure Doumeki has a key to Watanuki's apartment, or Watanuki doesn't lock his door/ windows. x'D That last "No!!!" cracked me up. Not my favorite episode but still really funny. Watanuki can't say no to food. Even though Doumeki ended up doing it the way he wanted. |
| "Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it." |
| Such an interesting relationship these two characters. Yuuko has her finger on everyone :) Really loved this ep! Cow transformation FTW! Stupid Doumeki. He needs his butt kicked. |
| i’m cutting my nails tonight, wish me luck boys. |

| Ah right I need to brush up on them sayings, or superstitions. I feel like they are vast and endless tho lolz. Damn Wish I could be yuko's slave. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I like this episode as well. I haven't watch much anime that discuss superstitions so this is really interesting. Doumeki keep popping in lmao |

| It’s bad luck to put on new shoes at night . He doesn’t believe in stuff like that. He could have asked a little bit nicer. This guy is cringe. It’s fun to believe in it if it’s a positive thing. I think he is turning into a cow because he lied down after eating???? if there is no truth to it why has it been passed down for so many generations? A suspiciously convenient nail clipper. The darkness is encroaching. The spiritual slicing of a flower from its stem. A spirit that has haunted mankind for generations. Sometimes humans are forced to encounter the unseen world and will try to explain it. Shall we cast the spell to remove you from superstition? Fear fear go away come again anouther day. It didn’t matter that he honored all of the suspicions they still died. So he stopped believing. To live blindly and shut out, the vastness of existence would be a waste. He doesn’t have much reason not to believe. She had the last volume all along. He doesn’t mind believing in them as long as they’re good ones. 3 |
