| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, love is in the air. We got a bizarre episode of supernatural case and strange occurences. That's no ordinary cat for sure. One thing that sold me on this episode is also the character chemistry between Kusaka and Akira. The two are oddly amusing to watch despite their different personalities. |
 |
| Kon's way too amusing lol. First half was kinda ehh but pretty sweet too. Second half was your usual hidden power outburst but it was done right so fine I guess. |
 |
| Aww, you spoiled their story in a way. I think was clear, but many anime watchers would had want to discover that by themselvs. I like how they let us a bit of their past, yet lol akira is too inocent still from the memory he had Kabane love meaning ... he has a long way |
The spider is watching |
| A case of love at first sight, Kemono mystery style: Yoruno the neko-man, being smitten by a nekomata. Love how Kon mistakes love for koi (fish). And Kabane literally following the flow of wanting to find his parents through love...weird flex but OK. Bringing children to the mature red-light district of Kabukichou, and finding this nekomata called Mao, this mission seems easy enough for Shiki, Kabane and Kon. Getting Kabane's head for Inugami is such the trickster move to Kon, and I guess that Kabane learned a thing or 2 about love. I'd swear everytime I see Akira, it's easy to mistake him for a girl, and his backstory dives deep into that symbolism. A snow Kemono birth from a women-only village that a boy is birthed every 100 years? Interesting. Another case of eliminating frog Kemonos along the Shibuya River, and Akira pairs with Kabane, even with the former's inability to handle gross situations. The bane of existence for the tomboy to be protected, now is forced to fight for himself, and he did a respectable job of handling the trouble. A case of good character development for Akira from another of Inugami's requests. |
 |
| Yes, an Akira focused episode was what I exactly needed. Apprently, he's searching for his twin brother. He managed to use his ice/snow powers when he was trying to save Kabane. Akira was adorable as always. |
 |
| Well, this is a real cat girl here xD It was really nice to get more info about Akira for his previous life with his family and his powers |
 |
| Pretty sweet episode... :3 Akira is adorable... |
 |
| Boy or not, Akira is too damn adorable. Glad he got a backstory episode and we got to learn more about him as a person. He’s very powerful, just had a crisis of confidence. The first half of the episode with the nekos just felt meh. Second half was great! |
 |
| Oh boy!! Kabane is just too damn precious, "So that means love is something that grows on trees" lmao also Akira rightfully slapping into all of our faces that he is more than just a reverse-trap :-o |
 |
| The Instagram photo to beat all other Instagram photos! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Nice to see some Akira backstory and freezing them all at the end was nice! |
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 |
| Nice little two-parter episode this was, especially for the 2nd part focusing more on Akira. Good to see Akira in the end, get that courage he needed (and the pic to commemorate that moment with Kabane was... something). |
| Wait Akira's backstory has me worried a bit. Two boys born in a village full of Yukionnas and they looked at them weirdly? Is it what I think it is? |
 |
| Yeah... I still don't like Akira. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Akira belong to boku no pico anime not here |
 |
| This was a cute episode. Inugami gave Kon a transfigured orange. hahaha Akira's power is cool. Akira's older brother seems like he'd be one of the bad guys. Also, it looks like Akira's lack of self confidence comes from slowly built up trauma. I don't know if that is the case, but if it's true, I'd love it. Trauma that builds up slowly is not that much spoken of in fiction, probably because they're not as dramatic. Kabane and Kon being clueless about Koi was adorable! Kabane even concluded that he's in love with Inugami, Shiki and Akira. lol I'm personally okay with him falling for one of them, excluding Inugami because of the huge age difference. |
| Kon is adorable. I loved her reaction to "Koi" and knew she was going to bring up fish in some way lol. Nice episode and finally got some Akira development and backstory. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| The scene where there were a bunch of rats in the bag was disgusting lol |
 |
| Glad Akira isn't such a pussy anymore. |
 |
| A fine episode. The guy and the cat kemono in the first half was not very eventful, but adds more to the world-building I suppose. The stuff with Akira is important for the same reason, yet I wish that the action was more interesting and his struggles were more compelling. I hope Kon comes back soon, because her dynamic works very well with Kabane. |
| Glad Akira got a bit stronger really isn't cut out for this work that has so many degusting looking scenes lol starting to think maybe Kumo should've gotten this studio to work on their monsters they all look scary as hell |
 |
| Another great episode. Kon is still hilarious, I hope she comes back soon after being fooled lol, and I’m glad we got an Akira focused episode, was pretty interested in his backstory and his character in general. |
| great episode! Akira finally manifested his ice powers! cooL! 5/5. |
 |
| I love Akira. She is the cutest girl in this show |
| Severe lack of Kon in the second half! Great episode, this show has been really good so far. Happy for that cat Kemono and that dude, koi prevailed. I guess that explains why Akira is so feminine, I mean I'm not complaining, he's adorable as fuck. I hope he gets a hang of his ice powers, cause it has potential. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Two-parting episode. The first part where they showed me the real interaction of how Hanyu can be happened in the first place. That's the kitty kemono interacted with guy with a neko posession on him. Its also served for Kabane's lesson to get a better understand of his parents, and why it could happened. Nice thing. Everything always start with love, and ended up in love, no matter how much the differences they settled it out. Though, the same rule applied for the interaction between kemono and human, at those kind of world. Solid. Anyway, Kon was so pure, there. I can't believed she still remembered her mission after that shit. I really hope she could be freed from that fox lady and then joined the kids playground. But, well, left aside it, lets solve Akira and his long fuckin name history first. Yeah, he was really a snow kemono boy that rarely born into that world, then ostracized by his own village. Sad, even Akira's brother left him alone. I hope its get resolved asap, like the other kids problem. But, well, Akira seems so strong if he could control his power. So, yeah, good shit, kid. Keep amazed me! |

He is Yuki-Onoko and lived in the village where the majority of the village is filled by woman and the man only born once 100 years? Is there a reason for he and his brother to finally escaped from the village? Well I would assume being forced to have babies with nearly every fertile female in the village might get a little tiresome after a while. It would be kind of messed up if they were making the boys do that as young as 12. That within itself would be enough reason to run away to me. |
| He hehehehe Kaito voicing Ayumu’s brother These kids are so endearing, I love them already! And tanuki!Inugami — too cute!!!! That was so touching when Kabane thought of Inugami when he thought of love :’) Kabane is so thoughtful in his own ways! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Akira's brother reminds me of Sasuke |
| Yaaay! An Akira focused episode! Akira is so adorable and after that little sneak peek into his past, I can't wait to learn more about him, especially the whole thing with his twin brother. His ice powers are so cool and if he gains some confidence he could become an incredible member of the team. I still can't believe Akira and Hinata Shoyo from Haikyuu have the same VA... it just blows my mind. Ayumu Murase is just too talented! |
 |
| This episode was fine. We got two cases, both were short and sweet. I really hope for more in the coming episodes though. I'm excited to see more of Inugami. He is my favorite character so far, and Tanuki-Inugami was even better lol. |
 |
| they really sped through these 2 chapters just for this episode, they've already been skimming through some scenes, I really hope they slow it down now that we're starting actual story arcs next episode. |
| I'm really liking this show so far. Sadly it'll only have 12 episodes. Hopefully we get a second season in the future. |
 |
| Akira's way too annoying. But it was good to see his power, always seeing him being an extra baggage was getting in my nerves... Kabane is so innocent and adorable. When he gave a pocket tissue to Inugami that was just so heartwarming... Those huge leech looking thing and those frogs were disgusting. Glad Akira didn't faint. Inugami in Tanuki form is too cute XD Kon will come back soon XD |
| A cat is fine too. :D |
 |
| I'm happy for Akira. Good episode. |
| I always liked the individual case chapters and they were adapted well here. We finally get some focus on Akira too |
| That man ate a rat and became a cat guy. Ok then. Speaking of cats, there are quite a few cats in this episode. And there’s also frogmen?! This can’t get any weirder, but it’s probably going to be more weird later on. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
