Hyouma getting impaled by that weapon with a somewhat straight face was priceless. Looks like he got sent on another mission and ran into some trouble again.

Not going to lie, this series has one of the better soundtracks this season and we got to see a variety of techniques used. Everyone had their hands full in that fight.

I love a straightforward one-dimension character like Hyoma and Nagi.

Cool to finally see the spirits fighting against other spirits, animation left a lot to be desired but cool scene nonetheless. Hyouma really is crazy strong, just instantly took out that whole group who all of the spirits combined were struggling with.

Hyouma kicked ass there, he's strong. How's he gonna get Yu's approval though I wonder, specially after what just happened.

Good episode, but by instantly going slaughter gang shit on them Hyoma might have lost slight approval in some of their eyes haha😅. So it seems the spirits want Hyoma and Bontan to get married for some reason. To save her from something that we don't yet know about. Well, we keep watching

3.5/5

Losing family members at such a young age was a great tragedy for Hyoma. Hmm Haori and Kushige sure ended up throwing their support behind Hyoma pretty quickly. I expected there to be spirits that not bow down easy to humans as Botan's had but i didnt expect so many powerful ones. Didn't expect Yuu to be the direct type. The fight between the two factions though was an interesting one as it showed not only some interesting powers but also the chance to see how they fight for real as well. Hyoma unleashed though was terrifying. Though his heart is steeped with rage and hate it is by no means impossible for that to change as this ep proved. The boy that saw all spirits as enemies to be hated and destroyed and the girl that saw them as allies, friends and family huh an interesting pairing indeed.

Picked this one up on whim but really enjoying it so far. Glad to see a more humane? side of someone being corrupted so much that he waits for the opportunity to pass his judgment.
So far so good aside from that random yuri character.

hyoma looking more evil than the antagonists. kagami's mirror trick was pretty cool and the last scene with all those tsukumogami behind botan.

Eh, it was an ok episode, I don't like how Yu was overly aggressive towards Hyouma when he hadn't done anything to her, and if Yu wants to help Botan she should've been more patient towards Hyouma since Botan wants to try to make this work. Speaking of Yu, she literally impaled Hyouma with that metal spear of hers and he was ok after that? Only explanation is if Hyouma has some type of kevlar armor underneath his clothes or he's superhuman (maybe the latter since he went superhuman against those tsukumogami punks).

Looks like the show keeps it's improvement from last week. I like how there was also a bit of comedy, which works well with the interesting characters!
Hyouma is defenetly turning a new leaf. I like how he still thought about protecting "them", which I interpreted as Botan and her Tsukumogami, even after going berserk. 
Yu is the kind of serious, yet human type I like a lot. And Haori and Kushige sure are mysterious. 

Now, I just hope there wont be some love triangle with Hyouma, Botan and Yu.

I don't think it's real romance feelings. Considering that she raised Botan since she was a baby alongside the others, it would be very weird if she developed feelings for her. Botan is meant to be family, like a little sister to everyone.

It's the 3rd and last day of Hyoma in Botan's family, and some tsukumogami have come to seek trouble while said exorcist himself has only Yu's approval left to go, the toughest tsukumogami who's the closest to Botan. Only 2 choices exist: give up, or defeat her and take it by force, the "might makes right" rhetoric.

The hostile tsukumogami with Hikaki as lead, and rather than facing them first, it's getting the trapped Hyoma out of her pin. But rather, he made it out himself and proved his power as the future heir of the Saenome clan, inflicting his hatred on human-killling tsukumogami.

The girl who was saved by tsukumogami, and the boy who was robbed by tsukumogami, this is a pairing that can only spell out the word: hope.

Hyouma really just folded all of them in like two seconds lol

Overall I think this anime is pretty good so far! It does have it's flaws sometimes though, like for example the fight between Hyouma and Yu felt a bit weird at least to me, but idk that could just be me. Either way, definitely going to see this one through!

I've really enjoyed these past three episodes. There's a an abundance of emotion and passion here, with plenty of room for growth. Going forward, I'm curious as to how the story will frame its conflicts.

ah yes, low life ghosts calling others low life, priceless lol
yes, good luck hunting that mansion, hope your survive that encounter with main guy :D

it's the day of the deadline, and there's still one left to impress, Yuu doesn't seem like she wants to be impressed lol
tho, i'm sure that if mc stops these delinquents, she will be happy to say yes

even while being stepped on, mc doesn't want to fight back, that would mean losing the chance of staying in that house
but... why did Yuu get mad when he asked her if she likes Botan? dafuq is wrong with her? lmfao she even sent him flying

the delinquents appeared, together with the rest of our group, and they should be fighting but... LOL i stopped the video after hearing Nagi "they are just some random punks, let them be" HAHAHAHAHA

they decided to go for mc, so the group had to stop them, this fight looked pretty funny, seeing who can go behind the enemy, and then another one attacking from behind

but as soon as that guy said they killed humans, that was the last straw, mc already hates youkais (even tho he can still get along with some), but these ones have no excuse to live lol the way he cut them all so easily, he is too strong

i wonder what were those strange guys that appeared behind Botan, were those shadows of youkais killed by our team members or something?
anyway, apparently, just like mc needs to get along with youkais, maybe Botan needs to get along with humans

that also reminds me, should someone be protecting Botan when she goes to school? what if youkais target her as the head of that family? next episode preview makes it even more obvious lol
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons

I would really love that. Would be a very nice change and her being a different kind of tsundere that hides her love for people that isnt only romantic.

God damn Hyouma going nuts on those tsukumogami hearing what they did was the highlight for me. Man wiping the floor in seconds with that crazed smile before agreeing that this was what he always wanted was great. I honestly thought that he'd say he was nothing like the tsukumogami, but hearing him agree took me by surprise. 
I guess this really cements how his past and trauma has resented with him for so long that it's become a craving for him, mad lad.

I hope we can see a bit more of Hyouma just going bat shit crazy before they mellow out his character.

The tsukumogami at the Nagatsuki house seem to comfirm Hyoma's prejudice, oddly enough. Despite never trying to harm them, they've attacked him unprovoked twice now. Nagi attacked Hyoma initially, and now Yu attacked him multiple times while they were supposed to be coworkers. This leads me to believe that Hyoma's grandfather is a scumbag for blackmailing Hyoma into working with a group of unstable idiots who can't be trusted not to try and kill him at every turn, let alone have his back against what are supposed to be their actual enemies.

Nagi being hotheaded and Yu being a lesbian are not sufficient grounds for attacking Hyoma, especially when he makes a point of setting aside his own disdain towards tsukumogami to try to cooperate with them.

Well, ain’t he showing his true colours finally.
It’s a low-key good show, but starts really, really slow, I’m happy it decided to finally pick up the pace.

Also, it has really interesting ost.
