hm.. at least with this episode things heated up a bit. But there were some scenes that lacked consistency IMO.. Like Matsuri running outside in plain daylight and Yorito gets cut by a sword but apart from the innicial shok it's like he never felt it (and the wound kinda bled a lot...). Well apart from that bit of action at the end not much else worth notice... And it seems the name "Matsuri" is not a strange one for Yorito's sister...

Yeah, with this episode the series is starting to pick up again. I also noticed those inconsistencies with the animation/voice acting, but what are going to do :P. Although, one thing I really liked that I never thought was possible was an expression for being both shocked and pissed at the same time but Aono pulled that off nicely ^_^. It's going to be interesting to see how she reacts fully in the next episode.

it was alright, better than the last few episodes. The speed was good. Actions scenes werent too bad. But i do agree with the whole Yorito sword thing. It felt wierd not seeing any reaction to the pain. But i'm glad he grew some balls. Best part though was at the end where, like zan said, Aono pulled off that expression.

This was a nice episode it was better then the others and even though she ran outside it was not like she stayed unhurted because if you watched closely you would have seen that those small particles where getting of her body wich means that she was getting hurt in the sun.

And about Yorito his cut it seems he did felt a bit pain in the way I saw his first reaction a little with the voice, ofcourse wasn't much they could have made him atleast show some more pain. Also the shock and anger part at the end I don't think that was anger at all lol.
She mainly cramped her hand most likely because of the shock that it was said that the good friend was a girl and she didn't know about it, but I cannot say there was any anger in it at all lol xD

Agree, if Takeshi (reminds me of Takeshi's Castle lol, good shiz) seriously wanted to kill Matsuri, there's no way Yorito would only get away with a cut like that. That was weird.

But Matsuri was so cute in this episode, especially in the first half. Her new outfit looked great on her. When she showed her powers later on in this episode and the look of her eyes changed I was like OMG, <3!.

The loli in a trashcan thing made me go WTF though ^^.

Good episode, looking forward to more again.

at least this episode was much better than the last 2. But there were some uhh bits, like the cut, and the fact that Matsuri should have already seen the sky if its like so since she seems to be fine in the shade or so forth so she could just be in the shade and then look out from the shade toward the blue sky which means she shoulda been able to see the blue sky already unless looking at the blue sky or something will burn her eyes or something... but then again for example in episode one were it shows young matsuri looking out from the cave during daytime so she coulda looked up from the cave and saw the blue sky or something or whatever....

Oh but it was nice to see the loli in the bin and awsome to see Matsuri's powers in action again, cool as when her eyes dulled and she was etc etc. Looking forward to next ep :9.

I thought that was kinda cute =p

Anyways, good episode. More action than the rest and when her eyes changed I was thinking "she's going to be psycho and kill him now? YAY" something similar to that.

yea that's a good point. seriously she could just look at the sky at that point in the shade. and Yorito's "I promised to show her the sky!" was so corny I flinched. bleh

and I didn't like Matsuri's ponytail look in the beginning either. this series is going down for me nooooo!!! T-T

if it was that simple to stay in the shadows and watch the sky normally I bet they would have done that by now already.
It is obvious that they don't do that because she can't also even if she was in the shades, it was not like she stayed unharmed either atleast it was not in my point of view.

When I looked it was definitely even in the shadows in daylight she can't really handle it either, she isn't dissapearing but she seems to get weakend even in de shadows of daylight.
So my bet is that if she starts looking at the sky it won't be something nice for her, but yeah I don't like too say the anime is going downhill right now, its just complicated due too the less info we have how and why and because its a way too short serie probably.

the slow pace of the whole anime doesn't help their low episode count problem though

the first half was cute. matsuri in the new outfit made her look cutER, i didnt mind the ponytail, rather, i liked it.

loli in the bin made me laugh as well...

action towards the end was awesome, the fact that the guy didnt bleed that much makes me think he is not human either... who knows...

Nice to see action return, the idea of fighting with light against someone who can rot stuff with a touch is really neat.

To many errors with this episode, way to many. If this keeps up the best it will get from me is a 6, and thats if I'm generous.

This was an improvement from the previous episode. The part where they were in the boat was nice. I liked it.

And his sister finally found out about her. I have a feeling that she will go crazy or something. Also, the guy with the glasses, I'm sure that the little girl is his sister and is trying to avenge her.

I'll give the "questionable" flaws the benefit of the doubt as it's only the first time this has happened IMO. The actual content of the episode was great though, if a little poorly executed ^.^

I'm guessing the guys parents were killed by Matsuri and the guy that's after her is getting rid of the dangerous ones. But he still gets to keep his loli.

Nice boat! A nice episode as well great action and some nice development!

And I knew Mayuko Kamikawa looked familiar with that bunny and all it just lacked some KuKuKu like Kobato Hasegawa from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai :p
