Angry Miyako was great, we need more of her. Not much happened but I still enjoyed this episode. Looks like at least Tarou will return to that old Hospital again, he looked like he wanted to. Looking forward to more.

Great second half made up for the kinda boring first half. The next episode looks really crazy. I can't wait to see it.

The eps always end too fast. I'm waiting for the next scene, then it just cuts to the ending theme. It's like, oh damn, it's over already?
I find it good that Masayuki is trying to somehow get over his fear. I found it kind of funny when he almost fell xD
Can't wait for the next episode...
Makoto's grandmother reminds me of an ugly bug. Then again, to me all bugs are ugly... and frightening.

Same here, I really thought he fell off. :/ Loved him braving it out and attempting fear exposure. Hmm... I want the hat gone for a while, just to see the new haircut. :P

Can't wait to see the next episode. The setting kinda reminds me of Pyschonauts (PS2). ^^

Great ep. Did anyone else notice that Miyako's father is in that picture with Makoto's parents and the politician? I wonder what the connection between all of them is. ... It also makes me wonder where Miyako's mother is now.

The last few episodes have been exploring the supernatural mystery aspect of the show so it's nice to see the story return to the conspiracy behind Taro's kidnapping and what's up with Makoto's dad.

Please, tell me I'm not the only one who really came close to dropping this when the Casper reject ghost-souls-with arses turned up. It was as if the raw providers had suddenly changed channels and not told anyone. I thought it totally ruined the atmosphere - spent two or three episodes playing with us, then suddenly unloads pathetic chibi things as if they fitted in at all. I was already fighting the character art style. And then there's all this tedious guitar improv business. This is now way, way down the priorities list.

That being said, I'm still fairly interested in the story. If Masamune Shirow really did have some input into this (I'm sceptical TBH, and will remain so unless the story starts being developed a bit more and becomes recogniseably like his output), I'm damn sure it wasn't into the art. There's still a lot of potential in the story even if I do hate the look of it.

It did sorta wierd me out when i saw those ghosty things but i don't think thats reason enough to give up on the anime all together. The story seems like its gonna be pretty good and complex so i'm sticking with it.

i thought this episode ended soo fast, can't wait for the next episode!
seeing Masayuki taking one step closer to face his fears is good enough, lucky he didn't end up like Tarou ehh he'll be going to the 'next world' actually if he did..

cute angry Miyako~~

Angry miyako was awesomely cute, and is all that hospital business really neccassary for falling down ONTO some stairs? I could understand if he fell DOWN the stairs, my god its a lot of them, but he didnt. Perhaps just a convienient way of having tarou's brain scanned to maybe find something unexpected? Also, someone really need's to tell ogami that his guitar playing is terrible. Time for the next episode.

Whoa I get a feeling they're gonna do something bad to Tarou. Or at least some unpleasant experiments... Guess he really did fall down some steps, otherwise all those thorough check ups must've been a conspiracy. Lol. And maybe the grandpa won't appear again a few epi ahead, maybe he's a plot device shown only when needed later.

All three's got their own problems, I'm really looking forward to how they slowly unravel and mend it.

Well, when Taro fell down those steps suddenly like that, my reactions were just wow. I guess narcolepsy is quite serious when the situation calls for it.

I understand that they are a little weird and, killedthe mood a bit but, i still.saw no reason to drop it. And to me they somehow fit, into the story :-)

As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T

Miyako is definitely telepathic and has ESP powers. She's able to clearly see astral projectors.

Ah shit he fell so hard, but I don't get why he's undergoing so many extravagant processes. I think they're exaggerating it lol.

5/5 tho love this anime

11 years late response, but that's something someone who doesn't know shit about playing guitar would say. His guitar playing is good.

His guitar playing is good. Most people think guitar playing just means doing a solo like EVH or Slash.

Angry Miyako was so cute lol. Still waiting to see her play a big role in this story, I'm 100% sure she will at some point. Very interested to see what they can do with Tarou's brain and by watching the preview, that psychologist looks greedy more than anything.

I liked the brief mention of the cortical homunculus, which seems to be a hint at context as to the reason the boys’ spirit-bodies have a few physical/fleshy features. It reminded me of how various contextual ideas were conveyed in Lain.

The part at the end, with whatshername getting mad at her dad for apparently sticking around the hospital in pursuit of the big titty doctor, was pretty funny.

I wonder when we’re going to meet the eponymous ghost hound :p

Noticed a "guitar improvisation" credit during the ending sequence, I guess it's for Makoto's playing? Nice

That might make sense but the bodily features that are "underlined" in the spirit form are not exactly the same as those in the cortical homunculus, right?

How did Taro get knocked out if he didn't land headfirst on the step? He clearly shielded himself with both arms and was fully clothed. At worst his hands would have a few scrapes.
