| Good episode. The pacing in this episode was much better, 2 and 3 seemed far too rushed for my liking. Show still showing lots of potential which is good, also a few of the best chapters from the manga have still not been touched upon. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Nice episode.A bit slow but really interesting.Yakumo's past seems really troubling.I hope they show more of it.. And what's up with that red-eyed dude in every episode? Always watching Yakumo and saying mysterious stuff??Who is he?? |
 |
| Pace is slightly better, but still WAY too fast. |
| a good episode and the pacing was better then in the previous episodes |
 |
| Quite interesting episode. Pacing on this episode was really good. "Phase 2" OP is a little bad, though. |
| At first I was like ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ. But then I was like ┐(￣ー￣)┌. |
| I agree that the pacing was a little better in this episode, but the last part with Yakumo and Haruka by the lake really just didn't resonate with me like I felt it should, and like the music suggested it should. While the pacing was overall better, I felt that the emotional moments in the previous episodes, especially ep. 1, were much better set up and executed. That being said, I think Ishii could turn out to be pretty funny and different addition to the current cast :). I also like that they left the current case open to be resolved in the next episode, which should mean that episode 5 will keep the same pace, or possibly even improve on it. Learning a little more about Yakumo's past was also a nice plus. Hopefully why exactly Haruka was at the doctors office to begin with will be explained in the near future....... >.> |

| Mehpisode |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
mel-hime said: Hope nothing bad will happen to her.Better pacing...it seems the bad guys plan to do something to Haruka...*worries*... It seems to me that Haruka is also developing some form of paranormal sight, seeing that girl in the river and even becoming possessed for a short while. This episode provided some revelations again of Yakumo's, being feared by your own mother must be hard. And wonder what kind of influence the new detective will have with his obvious crush on Haruka. |
| so... Doesn't it seem strange, that Haruka woke up in the hospital? Did she fell into the water?(I guees I could hear the sound of a splash)... It's weird. Who rescued her? This anime has a great potential and I've already fallen in love with its soundtrack <3 (and...Ono Daisuke - brilliant as always <3) |
 |
| I found it boring. And Haruka annoying, once again. But Yakumo has an interesting background. |

| Too bad the production values are dropping fast because the story catch up in this episode and the direction was finally OK thanks to a better pacing and direction. The main characters (including Gotou) are very enjoyable too. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

| Did anyone notice the art has improved A LOT compared to the previous episodes? And I want to hug Yakumo now. ;w; |
 |
| I thought i missed something since i didn't understand how she was in the hospital and walked by the room they were talking in, AND listened in.... Awfully convenient. Anyways a good episode, but, after reading a comment, i realized that i didn't feel any emotion from that river scene either. Still looking forward for the plot to come; usually i don't complain about background information. We will make judgment on Haruka being the damsel when the time comes... |
Noof said: I think the bad man with red eyes is yakumo father , because they didn’t mention yakumo's father from before And the episode was great I hope there is emotional thing between yakumo and Haruka That could be it. But the way I'm seeing it, he could be the antagonist of the series. Anyhow, pacing is better, but I do NOT want to see Haruka's soul devoured. |
     |
| Well, this was propably the best episode yet. Still feels rushed though. Also, i just noticed that Haruka is actually cute, isn't she? But i wonder why she looks so different from novel/manga version of her... |

Yami-chii said: ....and throw him on the ground at the same time for pushing Haruka. Though she is still a little irritating, pushing her hard enough to make her fall is just too much. And I want to hug Yakumo now. ;w; This episode was surprisingly good. Just hope it gets better on the suspense. The OST is amazing for sure. The doctor is most probably lying about Yakumo's past. He seems to be affiliated with the silver haired villain.

| Poor Yakumo being almost killed by his mother. Be careful, Haruka! |
 |
| Tch I thought the doctor was familiar the minute I laid my eyes on him. Poor Haruka seems ill-fated. She's constantly attracting all sorts of trouble. |
| The second phase of Key sounds bad lol, it's like they were messing around with whatever auto-tune they may be using for Ono Daisuke's voice, or maybe that's his actual voice this time? Anyway the episode was alright, it's actually beginning to look kinda interesting tho I can't believe I didn't recognize the doctor till later. |
 |
| Another solid episode, oddly I didn't even realize twenty minutes had passed, the episode flew by even though a decent amount happened. Loved the last few minutes, it was a bit touching and horrific. I hope we find out in the series whether Yakumo's mother was possessed or truly wanted to kill him (not an invitation for spoilers.) Unlike previous episodes this doesn't wrap the case up in one episode (although it's not like a lot was devoted to it this ep, so that's not to say there was a ton of build up.) Still, it's got my interest. And I can't wait for the bad guy to make his move, he sounds like he's up to something fun. |
| LOL at Gotou and his sidekick... :D The ep was good.. Poor Yakumo.. Unwanted child :( |
| Yakumo x Haruka XD this episode's pacing was better [slower] that said I CANT WAIT 1 WEEK FOR THE NEXT EPISoDE!!!! XD |
 |
| Ah, they're finally allowing more time for plot development, i hope the next episode doesn't disappoint! The characters are becoming much more interesting as well. |
| Yakumo X Haruka XD |
| How old is Yakumo ? his mom disappeared 20 years ago and he looked 5-6 minimum when she was strangling him so he is 24-25 years old. what is his major ? :) Other than that nice episode |
| That was a pretty good episode. Nice pacing etc. I never thought Yakumo mother was trying to kill him when he was a kid. |
MidnightReverie said: I don't know if you were reading different subs than he and I were, but the ones I read also said "she has been missing for more than 20 years now." Yakumo doesn't seem much older than 20, so it would make more since if you're right and it's actually 10 years. I'm confused by the age thing now, too.nesfe said: How old is Yakumo ? his mom disappeared 20 years ago and he looked 5-6 minimum when she was strangling him so he is 24-25 years old. what is his major ? :) Other than that nice episode lol subs He's 21 (Haruka too). His mom disappeared more than 10 years ago. The doctor didn't adopt Yakumo, but he delivered Yakumo at his birth. Also, Gotou got transferred to a different division, not fired. :P Anyways, nice episode - definitely better than the last one. Even though everything that's happened thus far has been utterly predictable, I still like this show. The story is average, but the animation (or art, rather?) is a style that I like. The music is also fitting, and the voicing for all the characters just seems so perfect to me. Despite the average story, I'm enjoying Shinrei Tantei Yakumo a lot. It's really too bad that the show is only 13 episodes. I also imagine that's the reason for the pacing everyone's upset about. Edit: By the way, Midnight, your avatar is awesome! |

MidnightReverie said: lol subs IKR, the subs I watched were really poor =S At first I though Haruka was a bit annoying, now I'm starting to find her more adorable. Good it be....that I'm starting to like a HETERO COUPLE?!? Woah! What is the world coming to?! |

| Poor Yakumo...sad past is sad....still, the prick didn't have to push Haruka that hard And also, Haruka is starting to look cute Yakumo x Haruka go go! |
 |
| It was quite good. I was kinda distracted (painting my nails) lol so it seemed quite ok to me. Oh and as we can see, the story starts to take it's turn.. i bet in near future they will go through some hardships and other stuff, so maybe the show get's better in climax :) |
 |
| I think I got an eye for the new guy Ishii, but please Yakumo don't label the guy! He just admire him. So these two got a little close and the anime start getting better. |
| Better pacing--- better mystery--better all around. I am enjoying the development between Yakumo and Haruka.. :D I am enjoying this series. |
  |
| Yakumo thought my adorable Ishii is gay xDD Whatever, this was such a nice episode to see. I really like this series |
| I hope nothing bad happens to Haruka. |
| Who does Yakumo remind you of when he does this? XP |

| Great episode. Yakumo is finally showing some true character. at least compared to how he used to be. Hopefully next week’s episode will be just as good, if not better. |
GintokiSan said: It's Lelouch! I knew I'd seen that pose before! o.O http://www.animeportal.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lelouch-lamperouge-01.jpgWho does Yakumo remind you of when he does this? XP But you know, I wanna Light Yagami had a pose like that as well. I just can't remember for sure since it's been a while since I watched Death Note. |
|
| "Hai guise, my name is Haruka! I'm probably the most useless and brainless character the history of anime has ever seen! You see, I've been treated like a piece of shit by this guy called Yakumo. But I want to help him overcome his emoness, and maybe he'll be nice to me in the end! Yay!" |
 |
| Ok episode, thought haruka was posed after what she saw and fell in sea.... But she didn't.. |
     |
| Holy God, Haruka is so annoying, I like her but sometimes... C'mon, she's in love with Yakumo, so fast? Don't believe you! But, this is getting better and better! Waiting for the next one~ |
