That was really weird, I don't really know what to think of this episode. Taro's 'conversation' with Miyako was my highlight but that ghost thing at the end was interesting as well. But if I'm honest, I'm kinda lost when it comes to the meaning of this episode. xD

Looking forward to more, as always. I'm still enjoying this anime a lot.

Does Masayuki want to rape that bald hag or something? He immediately split her legs and they did show him reject that other girl, representation of his sexual frustration because of his parents (I thought that was his sister, she seemed pretty young) relationship and his father's cheating. Maybe he wants to find out whats so good about her. Taro definitely messed up when he said that to Miyako so brashly (or at all), but I guess he can't really relate to the way she feels not being in control of herself alot of the time.

Good episode, but not quite as awesome as the previous few. And Masayuki's tastes are as bad as his father's. Balding woman ftl. >.<

I wonder how did Masayuki managed to escape the ghosts, but apparently it made that other kid evolve. Also I don't really want to think Masayuki is actually atracted to that woman, but if then I'd guess bad taste is genetically inheritable. Really, the only female I can think of that were shown in the whole series that would actually be less attractive would be Makoto's grandmother. And possibly her maid... Anyways, it's possible that the ghost wasn't even Masayuki to begin with. Maybe Dr. Hinata?

Really nice moment with Tarou and Miyako, they somehow managed to make it serious and funny at the same time.

Also, it seems very likely now that Makoto's mother is going to kill herself, though since he is still in that town it may turn out to be another confrontation.

Masayuki no ecchi ;D

Great episode for obvious reasons, Taro told Miyako just what I believed from the beginning of the series, but a bit rashly... I wonder how things will evolve from now on for the protagonists, it's getting as intense and interesting as it is mysterious.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Man poor Miyako shes getting identity problems now. I'm not sure who the ghost was at the end if it was Masayuki or that one Makotos dad or someone else. I so wish I could astral project it would be so cool and it would get me out of here =_=

I think I agree; the cliffhangers from the previous episode weren't answered (though you just assume that Makoto's mother didn't do anything to Tarou and that Masayuki escaped those ghosts with Michio's help), which confused me a bit. The highlights of the episode was Taro's conversation and the end bit with Ootori (the 'balding' woman).

I got a bad feeling about this ~~" i think miyako will be kidnapped by this mysterious organisation...so it would happen again <<"
...
The voice in the end could be really masayuki but i'm not sure...man i don't like this "I'm more pale than bleach" doctor lol her colleague is also strange..the typing was him hmmmm ~~"
...
Tarou confessed his thoughts and feelings...and i think he is right about what he is saying...also seemed to crack something up inside miyako she didn't want to hear but already know deep inside...also another hint her "mother" isn't her real mother...she only was for 4 years...

Miyako "Be a man, who gets nervous talking to a 6th grader?"

Oooooh shit son didn't see that one coming. Lmao!

That was getting weird there in the end, kinda incesty almost as if he wishes she was his sister...

I thought hidden realm form/ghost can't touch real world. Doc woman planning to leave, a spy maybe?
Taro might be right but he messed up big time insensitive fool. Miyako having hard time at school & seems to dislike her mom.

I was hoping to see how masayuki escaped but I guess we just assume glassess helped. Not really into him randomly developing the power though. I thought the others had it from trauma and everything. And their exposure to the spirits in the building. But I guess glasses was bullied a little and was around them enough.

I also find it amusing all these people think Masayuki us attracted to that woman when he's haunting her to find out more about what's going on there and his dad. Probably also some revenge for her seducing his father.

Poor Miyako. She's desperately trying to hold onto her sense of "self" and along comes Taro (who's one of the few people who knows what she's going through), rejecting that and telling her that she's his sister's reincarnation.

Personally, I don't think Miyako and his sister are connected. It's just a coincidence that she was born right after they were kidnapped and he's projecting his sister on to her, probably because he's attracted to her and wants to feel a connection to her. Or I'm wrong, which is also possible.

Now I'm starting to like that "PR" guy, but also I feel so baddddd for Miyako, she has nothing to do with this.

Was that Masayuki at the end? Why would you do that, I don't understand.

The animation when Taro and Miyako were talking was atrocious. Taro's face was repositioning itself in every second frame. Did Ghost Hound run out of budget half way through the episode?

I thought the spirit trying to molest titty woman was Masayuki's dad at first, no longer able to resist his hunger for feet, but looks like it was Masayuki himself. Wondering why that is.

Oh so they are two years apart. The ship doesn't seem bad now. But he sees her as his sister, so the ship is bad again.
