I actually kinda liked this episode.

That new spirit went up against Hoozuki and that's a damn mistake. I call on it. Was that hell? Those ladies sure are enjoying it. One of the better episode imo.

Oh and the little story with the rabbits too.

Another fun episode :D

Hoozuki being BA as usual XD I didn't expect him to be sensitive about people calling someone more handsome than him XD And that really was a waste of face with that stupid personality Lemon has XD Everyone's reaction to the hit was so lol XD

What a trap that Ushiwakamaru was O_O Why does he have to be a boy??? He looks really pretty -.- Lol'd at his dream being a sumo wrestler XD

The second half was hilarious with the torture levels. Damn those look creepy as hell. How can they make them seem so comical XD

Lol'd at the spider thread and how Hoozuki cut it XD

What a brutal children picture book O_O Dat Rabbit is really awesome though with how Tanuki can make her crazy insane XD Dem eyes XD Loved the moving pic at the end. Some nice art there.

First half was "meh" (though it had its moments). It was the second half that was hilarious, everything from Hoozuki to the rabbit. Because no one suspects the rabbit.

I loved both parts of this episode, they were both hilarious, though more so the second part. I like seeing Hoozuki and Shiro together :) that rabbit was so cute....and scary! Although Hoozuki is ruthless against those that go to hell, he's really polite at the same time. I didn't realize that he always calls Shiro with honorifics, and of course the rabbit lady too.

That bipolar rabbit was hilarious. Also laughed at Hoozuki clubbing the lantern woman because she said the other guy was more handsome than him.

Very funny episode today, especially the part of the killer rabbit. While the first part was also humorous.

Best episode of Hoozuki no Reitetsu yet,

Next week , we'll see Hakutaku again hoho.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

Habanero/Ghost pepper+miso paste, will try it.
I once touched my lower part with jalapeno (not the super spicy one) by accident, it f*ing burns, now imagine that with ghost pepper on a wound or eyes, holy sh*t that is inhumane you deserve to go to hell if you do that to someone.

I don't know what to think of this show, but I loved the second part. Especially if you know the story it was based on.
The first part wasn't as cool but I laughed so hard at butt-hurt Hoozuki, I didn't expect him to care about that...

I have to admit that the OP is pretty catchy enough that I don't skip it and even sing along.
Man, Hoozuki is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters :D and yay to Hakutaku in the next episode, I love his interactions with Hoozuki.

The thing about this show is that I keep pausing to Google the references that fly over my head. The murderous rabbit was from the folktale Kachi Kachi Yama apparently. Then I just get stuck in a Wikipedia hole clicking on related article after related article, forgetting to return to the episode I was watching.

Dat rabbit.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Thanks for the link, and I know that feeling :D
This episode reminded me of Uchouten Kazoku because of the Tanuki.
So, shapeshifting is really their thing, huh.

SCREAMMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

THAT PRETTY BOYYY AAAAAAAaaAA SO CUTEEEEEEEEE !
YOSHITSUNEEE ♥

Anyways, the Rabbit holds a grudge on the Tanuki because.. the Old Woman that was so-called killed by the Tanuki.. she was very kind and helped the Rabbit once.. that's why when the Rabbit found out that she was killed by the Tanuki, she declared revenge on it. To avenge the kind old woman. (Thank God I watched the Folktales from Japan)

The version that I watched from Folktales from Japan is quite different tho.
On a certain mountain, there was an old couple who lives there
The old man, would always go to their field and plant different kinds of vegetables. The Tanuki, seeing the old man... he suddenly got an urge to 'bully' the old man and destroy his crops. The old man noticed what the Tanuki was doing and began to put some traps (which he tried so many times before he caught the Tanuki)
He was planning to kill the Tanuki to pay back what he has done. The Old man has a wife.. yes, the Old Woman. If I remember... she saved the Rabbit once.
The Old Woman was very kind and tried to talk to his husband if they can set free the Tanuki. The Husband said "No" and left the house (went to the field)
When her husband was far away, The Old Woman untied the Tanuki and told him to go away and say sorry. The Tanuki laughed and injured the Old Woman (yes, he didn't killed her.. he just injured her and made the old couple's house messy)

The Old Man.. got home and saw the terrible state that her wife is in. And told the Rabbit about it.

And yeah that's it.
The Rabbit tried to revenge and did the exact thing what Hoozuki said at the story telling part.
(The Tanuki didn't drown here) The Rabbit told the Tanuki that if he said sorry, the rabbit will help him so that he won't die from drowning. The Tanuki said sorry and the rabbit helped him. When the Tanuki was saved, he ran away and mocked the Rabbit saying "you got tricked, idiot!"

After that,
The Tanuki didn't return to pester the old couple.

sorry for the grammar lmao and there must be some part where I'm wrong because I don't remember it quite well.

Ushiwaka's way cuter than when I last saw him somewhere else and those posters of him just screams "Trap!" ♡ Even though he wants to branch out to manlier hobbies, his legend already established him as the fair-looking general of old.

There were a lot of new recruits who didn't recognize how scary hell can be so Hozuki took them on a field trip but the only thing they can remember from it was a rather aggressive bunny with a particularly gigantic grudge against badgers.
