Oh good God, Keitaro may have his curse, but Eiko being inflicted by his curse makes this a worthy adversary that he will be diving deep into the supernatural, but now with a legit reason to save his childhood friend. If the OP visual of that doesn't make any sense, it does now.

Keitaro caving in to Eiko going back to college with her, plus Yayoi because she doesn't have school, it's a showing because she is quite famous. And since they're in the same school, having a campus life together is more fun. That said, the classs about urban legends, Eiko REALLY wants to join that, and Keitaro has no choice but to follow her. The class having a showing from a VHS tape from a student filming about suicide, and it suddenly changing to his view, shows that there's a cursed spirit at work. Yayoi forcing that onto a bamboo to force the spirit, it went as far as Keitaro's clothes to burn him.

Clearly a case of emergency to expunge the spirit as soon as possible, Yayoi wants the matter to be done fast. Eiko's backstory with Keitaro has been one cursed adventure, though she appreciates him journeying together with her in the supernatural. And Eiko's plan to keep the spirit in the car and managed by Keitaro in his buck nakedness, it's a test of the cursed spirit's fortitude against their efforts to pacify it, which they did with much difficulty.

Turns out, the video was a matter of bullying, and while Yayoi treated it with her spirits, Keitaro sought to protect Eiko with everything he has. And Eiko's affinity for the supernatural with Keitaro stopping her, she's a twisted one as well. Love is twisted in horror.

I blame the University for running such abnormal classes, I mean urban legends.. what lol? Though it's understandable Keitaro has some sense of duty towards Eiko but after been through SO MUCH in such a short time, if it were me I would've left the company of the sisters long ago.

Also Eiko's a level.. no two levels above Yayoi in the creepiness parameter.

They are cousins (Eiko and Yayoi).

Are the translators messing with the localization for this anime? I am not fluent in Japanese, but when they all get in the car at the beginning of the episode and Keitaro hears Yayoi in the back he clearly yells something about lolicon, but the subtitles just say "shouldn't you be in school?"

I like how it's implied that Eiko was close friends with MC because he had his abilities and she has an obsession with the occult but now she keeps him close because she has an obsession with the occult AND because she has feelings for him, this is one hell of a well made yandere.

Okay, so it appears that Keitaro and Eiko have the hots for each other but while Keitaro is going about it as any normal teen his age would, Eiko is a little twisted in the head. Who their right mind has a dedicated closet with their crush's pictures plastered all over? I understand having love for and a bit of obsession over a crush but this girl really needs to see a psychotherapist.

I don't know how I feel about Eiko after seeing that I guess it was expected, I wonder how Kei would react.

I KNEW something was up with Eiko. There was always something about her that gave me the creeps. Now I see what it is. She's a manipulative yandere. Nasty combination. I'm here for it though because it should make things a lot more interesting in this anime.

Bro this girl is super paranoid. She has serious problem.
I don't know if she has a screw loose or no screws at all.


It's like in future, if they get married (just saying) and had a kid she will literally burn the kid just to get attention from the MC. And you heard what she said it was all her fault to begin with, cursed hands the video all of em.

I think there's something going on with Eiko, there's definitely something she's not letting on to here. That smile, that's what makes me think that.

The cursed video tape idea was pretty cool, and very well executed. The car scene was pretty tense, and now we also know that spirits can change traffic signals and light fires.

A class about urban legends and scary stories, wonder if they will actually register for it, I would guess that professor would want to see them again later, them actually joining some occult research could be a nice touch for the story.

Ayo Eiko whats wrong with you in the end? Its even funny when Hanakana was the one behind your voice lmao. Nice choice olm, you bring the memories of my Ichika here lmao nice!

Anyway, enough with Eiko creepy true reason that keeps her sane in the midst of the circle of supernatural peeps like Yayoi and Keitaro. She's not really that sane girl. But this spirit of the week indeed a next level of danger. Not just some illusionist spirit anymore, the spirit of the victim of the cursed video, really used some real dangerous way to try to harm our poor Keitaro-kun. It's indeed a harmful curse, trying to burn you till death, holy cow.

Glad that our sweet child full of brilliant idea, manage to find a way to counter the curse with its own curse. As a result? Welcome to her collection, and enjoy with your new friends there, you fire spirit!

Talk about bully, and then suicide, can't wait to see more of those dark elements, for the next episode case later. Ehem...

Oh, the girl is obsessssed. I like that.

I was also surprised that when MC was having an insecure moment, saying kinda silly things about doing everything by himself, he wasn't hit in the head to get a grip in a tsundere move, but was genuinely talked to… like a normal person, and they reached an understanding.

And, well, if she's yandere, I'm vibing with this. The series now look more interesting to me, because I'm not a fan of horror or spooky stuff by itself. The video was quite creepy and the story behind it about bullying turned out even more terrifying because it was actual living people who decided it was an ok thing to do to someone.

Looks like the cursed tape did its job and killed the bully-murderers. Sucks that one of them stuck around afterwards, but at least Yayoi is giving them a spiritual intervention they won't forget.

I thought she was possessed too but I guess it's more showing how twisted she is.

Not sure if it's just showing us the spirit around Kei or that she can see them too through photos. Cause there is a thing where they can show up easier in mediums like mirrors, windows, photos , videos etc
