Damn. It's out already?

That scene in bed was getting a bit intimate.

I dislike the end. I don't understand how Shino could've missed that 1 arrow :l

Introducing the legend about the power of the balls? and there are more of those owners. So it's the anime's main goal?

I hope they are ok from the attack by the monk group.

Meh first half, good second half. Demon still has some of his humanity left. That monk w/ those insects. It's obviously he's not human also.

Wow I really wasn't expecting this to be subbed already, since the past two episodes' subs came out on Mondays. But hey, earlier the better! :)

Hmm, it's weird how the writers decided to cut some scenes and then ADD parts into the anime that wasn't that necessary. Since there's only going to 12 episodes, I really wonder how the rest is going to play out, considering that Shino and Sou are supposed to be looking for 6 more beads. Maybe they won't find all of them?

I really like BGM for this anime, I think they did a great job.

That bed scene was unexpected and it is odd how Shino couldn't have blocked that arrow with a swing.

That monk deserves a major ass beating in the next episode.

Yeah I was like what da fuq. He's supposed to be all powerful and all, yet Sosuke had to take a hit for him.

So far this show is still 'meh'
The action really needs to lift off
So Shino couldn't block a single arrow, he didn't really seem off guard.

I only started watching of the VA for Shino is the one for Natsu :c. The opening is pretty catchy, as is the ending. The storyline so far is weird though. I expected more magic and action like fighting.

Exactly what I was expecting

For someone who has some kind of almighty creature fused with his body and is immortal, he sure can't do anything.

I was also expecting him to fight with more abilities other than that sword.

Plus, what does it matter if he gets hit with one arrow since he's immortal? He could have taken out all those monks - then heal his wounds.

13 actually. And people, it's a shoujo series. Of cause it has some yaoi fanservice but I'm sure that would be all.

What happened to the ninja foxes from the first episode? Can Sousuke only turn into a dog? What does Hamaji do?

Although


I really hope they don't rush this y'know. It has potential. It would really suck if they all of a sudden gather the 6 remaining stones in the next couple of episodes. We all know who they belong to anyway...

Murasame is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto I believe, known for characters like Accelerator (Index) and Rin (Ao no Exorcist).

This has been hit and miss so far, it's lacking the mystery that the first episode had and it's starting to feel really generic right now. "Hur grab the 8 beads" what kind of plot is this? Come on...

Kaname was openly flirting with Hamaji, wew I like them as a couple, I think.. ^^

I have a feeling that this show is not going to end happily, just a feeling though.

4/5

The plot begins to take shape, but the script did not like the second part.
Narration not bad, but the ending was really bad, no intensity and no rhyme or reason of it.
Ice Cream? OMG!
Drawings not bad, animations are not of the same level.
