| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, this episode was quite something... I still love the chemistry between Ushio and Tora, the duo is just so funny! I find it interesting that they are also giving Mayuko some more insight too. Tora has a funny look on his face:  Good to see Ushio and Tora came in time though to save her. Pretty intense episode. |
 |
| great episode. really good action scenes, and love how Tora is so comical without even trying. Was hoping they'd show him eating the burger and his reaction to it, hoping they'll show it in future episodes. The way he uses his powers reminds me of Pikachu lols. |
 |
| I'm really loving this series, but is it gonna stay episodic like this? |
| another fantastic episode! this is one of my top favorites from the season for sure! I loved the different animation styles they used throughout the episode. |
| :3 |
| Pretty intense, but still funny episode. Tora is pure comical gold, his reactions and faces are priceless. |

| So, Tora can go through walls but not glasses? I guess it was intended for comedic purpose only. The battle was quite intense though. Tora pretty much owned all the heads except for the last one. Inoue will probably fall for him. :3 |

| Nice episode, cant wait to see more. danirap said: HeroKenzan said: I'd like to know this aswell. I mean it's good and all but I'd be cool to have some continuity As far as this season is concerned, idk... i think they're just using the arcs to present the most important characters. But trust me, this has a major and mother-fucking-epic storyline!! U just wait and see... (and by the title of the next episode, it's going to be awesome :3 } Good, I'm so hyped =) |
 |
| DAMN, this anime keeps getting better and better. This episode was AMAZING. Poor Tora though, getting blamed for someting he didn't do, and he couldn't eat a single human :D. That guy with the truck ran him over and how the kid started crying when he saw him :D. I am glad to see their relationship progress every episode. I wonder what will happen with Inoue now that she saw him. And that Hamburger scene was great. I wanted to see him eat it though :D. |
| That family of youkai heads were really hardcore O_O Talk about brutal deaths Tora is the fucking man though, seeing him take them out like a badass motherfucker was so satisfying and then Ushio with that headshot on the father was the icing on the cake Also, it seems like burgers will be the answer to Tora's food problem lol, still it's a great substitute imo since burgers are awesome =P |
| Well, I was a bit skeptical about starting this at first but I've been thoroughly enjoying every episode so far. Proving to be one of the better shows of the season for sure. Vindstot said: Inoue will probably fall for him. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen. |

He won't even feel that burger. |
| Awesome ep! Didn't expect Inoue to find out about all that stuff this early on and that Nakamura would be the last know ^^; I guess Inoue leaning on Tora in the end makes sense a bit now XD He saved her quite a few times :3 Poor Tora falsely accused and so ignorant about the world getting REKT by cars, getting cockblocked from eating too lol He was friggin BA when he owned the Youkai tho. Gotta love him :D Gotta admit Those heads were creepy af!! So is Tora gonna get addicted to burgers now :P |
 |
| This show really doesn't pull any punches. That's a lot of people that were dismembered and beheaded. Although it was censored with no blood, it was at least done tastefully, with no giant black bars covering half the screen. |
| Best Episode of this series so far! |
| I like how calm Mayuko was despite the fact that she just learned that monsters exist and eat people. And then proceeds to offer one of those monsters a burger haha. Anyway, pretty good episode, nice action and very funny |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Next episode, Hyou! I'm really excited! |
Vindstot said: So, Tora can go through walls but not glasses? I guess it was intended for comedic purpose only.. :3 I think it's implied that tora can go through glass, but he'd have to know it was there first, basically he has to "want" to go through a wall to do so. PNDRetro said: I really wish ushio could wield the spear a little better it just seems like every week he's getting his ass kicked and tora having to come in and save him Give it time, this is an old school shonen anime updated for the new millennium, it will probably have a progression similar to yu yu hakusho and the like, hero starts out weak but gradually get's more BA. |
| holy crap flying faces but damn Tora fucked them all up |
 |
| and another great episode |
| People these days don't have patience, you'd rather have the whole 300+ chapters done in 12 ep rather than nicely paced,no wonder most adaptations are bad. Myabe Inoue will powers too later on and help Ushio since she could be that woman's descendant. |
 |
This is all me and a friend could think about when we saw the flying heads. |

Vindstot said: Inoue will probably fall for him. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen. Well ... its not impossible, just look at the ED and you see Tora and Inoue together for a moment. |

| So Tora is starting on a hamburger maintenance program to reduce his dependency on humans as food... Actually after 500 years, I bet a burger would taste pretty good. And with this episode we've started into plot development territory. We've got a probable family background on Inoue that suggests she might have abilities. She has met Tora, is currently feeding him, and doesn't appear to be terrified. We've always heard that the way to a man's (err...youkai's) heart is through his stomach, so I'm wondering how this develops. I'm also betting that when Ushio's father returns he'll have some information that will move the plot along. And pet peeve, why is it ok to show dismembered body parts but never a breast with a nipple? Is having sex that much worse than killing people? (You don't have to answer this...) |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| funny ending, tora was like uhhh i want to eat you |
 |
| Tora in modern society; the deprived face really reminded of me of Kekkai Sensen. These youkai were quite interesting, and seeing them wreak havoc amongst the street was entertaining, or at least it was rather exciting. I want to learn more about Tora and how he came to become such a powerful being. |

| I must say I like how this show is trying to reconcile Tora's status as a deuteragonist and a vicious beast that enjoys human meat. He still tries to act like a predator, but his attempts to do so are written off in ways that are comedic but still believable. Surprise how well this was adapted into one episode considering how this story was originally done in two with the OVA. One thing were this version didn't compare as well in was with how it removed the ultraviolence almost completely (the OVAs made it more clear that the people with Inoue in the elevator were torn apart for example) but that was just a slight annoyance that didn't take away much from a perfectly reasonable outing for Ushio and Tora. |
 |
| Really getting that episodic feel from this anime but it's doing it right. Each individual story helps relate to the characters time and time again. The VA's are also making this one of the better anime of summer 2015. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Tora is simply the best! xD can't wait for next episode ku ku ku |
 |
| That was really damn good.Even tho this is quite predictable at times, like some pointed out, it doesn't take away the overall feel of the series, which is so good imo.Great characters too, especially Tora...who made me laugh my ass off good few times.Animation was awesome as well. Ugh, i might have my aots right here, followed right by Gangsta/Akagami. |
 |
| Where would Ushio be without his tiger? It's like a shonen version of Calvin and Hobbes. |

| Hmm, I see this particular episode was abridged quite a bit compared to the OVAs, including the death of many civilians. Still was fun~ |
 |
| Another fantastic episode! Am totally in love with this anime :) |
| That ending scene was perfect! I had a good laugh - this show it to much to handle. |
| This episode was epic and Tora was amazing. Something tells me hes gonna get addicted to burgers from now on. |
| Tora was BAD@SS |
| Episode was really good! I liked how it revolved around Tora handling the enemies of this episode! |
 |
| Based on the comments here and the next ep title, things will probably get a bit more serious from now on. :3 |
| did he eat the burger? really curious about it. Well, turned out good, I guess. I wonder though why tora stayed and not eat humans to be stronger and beat ushio. The demon was so willing and have no qualms in it as he attempts to gobble up the girl, kid, etc. One thing I could think of is that he cares what ushio thinks. If he stopped to attempt in eating people because ushio apologized to him, then surely he cares. Anyway, if you try to reason every unreasonable events in an anime, you'd go crazy, so I'll leave at that. |

| Tora pillow soon™? |
