| Well, that was a fun episode. It's good to see more about Yomi's relationships, rather than having another action based episode. It'll bring more emotion into the end. The anime version makes Nori's personality a bit more serious than the manga though imo. Oh, and I liked how they finally put in the Ga-Rei styled "shock eyes". 5/5 |

| nice episode it seems that Mei will try to kill Yomi |
 |
| Woah, this was genius as always, there really has to be a badass reason for Yomi to snap... |

| I though that after this episode I'd drop this anime for good. I didn't like the pace (nothing good was happening) and the story revolving around Kagura (whiny bitch) is rather dull and boring. However, I do like Yomi and other side characters: Nabuu twins (ALL HAIL BRITANNIA - lol Wakamoto), the gay one (what's his name?) and Noriyuki's spirit pets. The fight between the Noriyuki and Yomi was priceless and the fluffy part melted my heart. During the scene where he, not intentionally, insults her make-up and perfume, I'd personally spill all the perfume over his head, just for kicks, and see what it does to his sensitive nose. I don't hate him, he's just the type of character to lash out all of your anger. Oh, and finally, adorable, moe - albeit an evil one - Mei. I already love her more than Yomi and I can't wait to see her throwing her two-cents in the whole picture. I have a sneaky suspicion, that she's the reason behind Yomi's death and her return from the death. |
| Interesting episode, now we know where the plot is going to hit. I am still waiting for Natsuki's team to be introduced again. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| this anime just gets better and better, nothing groundbreaking yet, but anyway. its the ending that im worried for right now, feels like it would be easy to screw it up.. |
     |
| Nice episode~~ romance sure makes me raise my score :D Yomi looks like the typical antagonist, thou. Still, looking forward to the 'snap' :D |
 |
| Amazing episode! The date was hilarious! I loved how Yomi reacted to it. Her silent technique was effective. Mei looks like a suspicious character! Like DieInHell said, I'm looking forward to seeing her role in the story. |
 |
| the so-called plan was kind of a turn-off (too cliche maybe?) but the start with Nori vs. Yomi was awesome XD |
| so so episode just something to foward the character development and new characters, mei vs yomi soon? thats gonna be awesome |
    |
| loved the interaction between all the characters especially Yomi and Noriyuki... still can't wait to see whyd Yomi got so mad for... |
 |
| Wow, even more generic 'goodness' . dropped |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| now that was one hell of a filler episode. that's how fillers should be relationship introduction and development not some random tits n ass shit. |
| i thought it was really funny but I was hoping that it would have more moments like the ones of first episode |
 |
| Man I adore this anime!! That part when she slaps him I was like "please don't let this be one of those stupid cliches" and he slaps her back! hell I laughed so hard xD |
| I sence a pairing~~ :D I have grown to like this series, really! :3 |

Hope it will stay there. |
     |
| Well, for a "filler" I can't really complain. No action, but a fair bit of character development so it's all good. It was almost a little too funny for it's own good though. At the very least, I guess they can swap between action and comedy fairly well. |

| mmm something boring... this anime take another way that I expected.. :( |
 |
| the ending *kiss was fuching lame, 1/5 |
Kotori said: the ending *kiss was fuching lame, 1/5 Agreed... I like Noriyuki, but still quarell relationships never work out, and Yomi would be much better as a psychotic lesbian character then just a tsundere :P But I still love the show for the characters... Kagura with fake tear stuff lol :D |
 |
| 180° turn from the 2 first eps but still as good :) I love this anime :D. I don't think Yomi is being mind controlled, like she said at first she loved and cared for Kagura a lot, then she got jealous because Kagura got better than her and come to hate her little by little, maybe she's mind fucked but mind controlled I doubt so. Also we have yet to see the buterfly dude and what he can do. My guess is that he want to control everyone like he did with the girlfriend of the guy in the first ep. Yomi think that nobody can kill him, that he'll control everyone and make them kill innocent people so she resolved to kill her friend so that they don't get controled by him. That would be where the "Will you kill someone you love, because of love?" come from. |
 |
| Maybe it's related to that other girl introduced in this episode, the other successor to the inheritance.. |

So one thing we suspect both of us----------> Butterfly guy can control. What exactly and all we don't know BUT the butterflies seem to hint something. They are always there before Yomi kills the people she is to kill. |

| anyone else feel that this episode is rather tragic? considering we know how it's going to end up. anyway... more manga goodness =D and where the hell is |
| I really think I would enjoy Touru & friends story a hundred times more. I just find Kagura so annoying. . .Hopefully we go back to where the series started off soon. EDIT: CRAP!!! Shouldn't have even have tried to read the manga, pretty sure it ruined a good majority of the anime. . . |

| this episode was just hilarious^^ 5/5 |
 |
| This episode rocked, as usual :D can't get enough of this anime When the episode started I was like "YES YES finally an episode about Noriyuki and Yomi!" and I didn't get disappointed. They are like the cutest couple ever angeline_ said: Man I adore this anime!! That part when she slaps him I was like "please don't let this be one of those stupid cliches" and he slaps her back! hell I laughed so hard xD agreed. it was epic xD angel999 said: I find it stupid to get angry over something enough to throw coffee at your fiancee!? O_O+Have a fight started. Noriyuki can win anytime! So true. I would love to have his kind of beasts =3 I love them and I got all heartmelting when I found out they give birth to new super-cute baby creatures |
 |
| For an episode w/ no action I was certainly entertained. It was nice to see things play out differently, but still realistically. Liking the relationship, but you can definitely see some darkness b/w them. That Mei character might as well be dragging a sign that says "BAD NEWS" behind her. I think they are gonna drag us into caring about this relationship, eventhough we have a good idea how it turns out. |

| this anime is getting so much better compared to the first 2 confusing episodes. looking forward to more noriyukixyomi relationship development. i really wonder what are they hiding from the others |
 |
| It gives you the feeling that everything will go wrong but you can do nothing about it.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Nice episode, not enough action (or like none at all) but the set up date and everything that followed was great, the introduction of Mei was planned nicely as well =D wakka9ca said: It gives you the feeling that everything will go wrong but you can do nothing about it.... My thoughts too D: although I wouldn't mind them putting the explanation behind the connection with the characters in the first episode O_O |
| A nice and fun episode, looking for more action to come though. |
| It was an ok episode. Having this kind of filler isn't what I expected for this kind of anime, but whatever. I love the opening, and I'm glad they are using it as the actual opening now :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This was a fun episode. :P The moments between Yomi and Natsuki we're hilarious. Kazuki and Iwahata we're pretty funny too. |
   |
| Yeah, this is turning out to be quite good, even if it's not what I expected. I like the fact they're showing us all these characters, making us care about them, probably before they all die a horrible death in future episodes/seasons which brings me to my next point... I'm sure this has been brought up before but I'm guessing this is the first part of at least a 2 part series of 13 episodes each and since this is kind of a prologue ga-rei -zero- fits well. So the next part will be called ga-rei -one- etc. Anyway, good stuff with the bisexual supernatural hot girl swordfighting maniac known as Yomi. |

I enjoyed it greatly. I wonder why they (Noriyuki and Yomi) are putting up a front. And its starting to make more and more sense now. 5/5 from me. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
angel999 said: We get a new character who is a BISHOUJO ONNA! By the name of Mei. Apparently daughter of Kagura's father but She looks way stronger than she appears. Mei is not the daughter of Kagura's father. That'd basically make them sisters and she would be the one inheriting Ga-rei Byakuei, and not Kagura but that is not the case here. She's the daughter of the Isayama Yuu, the man that got owned by Yomi's father. Get your facts straight. angel999 said: WTF is Yomi problem when Noriyuki complained of the perfume to a bad smell then throws him hot coffee? There was a really bad air when it started Nue VS the ferrets? Interesting but Noriyuki is her fiancee so NO! Uh... since Noriyuki was complaining about how Kagura didn't know how to use perfume, it was an indirect insult to Yomi since she was the one using it. Common sense. Besides, there is no intimate relation between those two. It's an arranged marriage and they both agreed to it since they don't want to disobey their families. I'm glad they finally got all the slice of life shit out of the way. They need to start throwing in more meat to the story instead of ridiculous yuri antics and love matchmaking. |

I'm glad they finally got all the slice of life shit out of the way. They need to start throwing in more meat to the story instead of ridiculous yuri antics and love matchmaking. The "slice of life shit" adds a lot to the overall story of -zero. What better way to flesh out Yomi's character than to dedicate an episode about her relationship with her future husband? There were even slight hints to the overall progression of the story, especially with the introduction of Mei and the power struggle between the next successor of Isayama. Not everything has to be hack and slash for the story to develop. Overall, this is a great slice of life episode with just the right amount of story development to further propel the plot. Just a shame that we all know that things can only go downhill from now on...a love/hate relationship with this kind of storytelling. |
maxime1007 said: That would be quite unique way of it, though I'm betting on the more normal reason. I'm more of the opinion this question is thrown at Kaguya, since, if Yomi is being mind-controlled by butterfly kid (like the other girl from the flashbacks in episode 1), Kaguya will have to kill her to free her. We already saw Kaguya's hesitation to kill possesed humans in the last episode.My guess is that he want to control everyone like he did with the girlfriend of the guy in the first ep. Yomi think that nobody can kill him, that he'll control everyone and make them kill innocent people so she resolved to kill her friend so that they don't get controled by him. That would be where the "Will you kill someone you love, because of love?" come from. I'm really looking forward to see how exactly Yomi ended up in the current situation. This will obviously involve the people from the first episode, since Yomi was actually part of the flashbacks, and the main guy from that group recognized her. They seriously need to link those guys back to the story in some form, otherwise that whole episode would have been unnecesary. |
 |
| Another sweet episode, Mei was cool too. |
 |
| Yomi, ftw ^^ After the shitty 4th episode(thx to Michael), this one was great, slice of life at its best, good development, and more Yomi :) |
   |
| omg this episode was epically funny loved how badly he got owned nothing like getting coffee splattered in your face and i understand what hes saying about the too much perfume thing people nowadays seem to drench themselves in it rather than do what theyre supposed to making them absolutely reek of it... perfume and cologne are meant to compliment not to overpower |
| wahhs . i love YOMI && that guy together ^^ hahas . they looked KAWAIIII (: |
