Damn, all the struggles and more blood. I swear, this series gets more stranger and bloodier every episode. I lol'd @ the 'yaoi' images. Oh that was just priceless.

That confession at the church and transformation was really strange to me. Well, this episode was strange overall to me. Dat demon like eyes w/wings.

So he made her blood eater in exchange of the eye. So he knows that Shino being adult is just temporary. lol @ He still thinks he's small for 18.

It's too late for that woman now because she already has the wing. "Thanks" to Shino, she can be with her brothers. After all the work, he turned back.

Ending next ep... finally meeting that shadow? + Airing late (3:13).

I think this episode was the best so far, I really loved the scenes with Murasame/Shino, and the transformation (real body) is so cute! Fangasm ShinoXRiou!

Poor Kohaku. Did he have to kill her? Was it impossible to live with her?

Didn't know that guy was homosexual.

Only one more episode, this has been a favorite this season. Chances of a second season? Since they still need to collect the rest of the beads.


I thought the episode was just okay. I wanted to Shino to still be out of control, was disappointed he went back to small size, but I love him either way :)

Btw, is the anime following the manga? And if it is, is there still enough material for a second season?

lol he's not. He was engaged, remember? It's a running gag because he thought Shino was a girl when they met. It was funny cus he had said early on "when she grows up she's totally gonna be my type!" and in this ep Kobungo said "oh crap he's totally his type!"

Yeah I liked old Shino better too, it was kinda like seeing Al's body.

I guess with only one episode left Hakkenden will have an open ending. (Unless they make a 2nd season, which I doubt.)

Kohaku's final moments were sad. :(
I loved the part when Shino said she looked like an angel because it left her with one happy memory before she died and for that moment she didn't feel like she was a monster.

I think her death was inevitable because she was lonely, killed the closest person to her, didn't want to be viewed as a monster, and she would probably go to jail if she lived on.

Yeah the anime has been following the manga very closely, with few slight changes for pacing. There are currently 13 volumes out so far, and the next episode seems like it's probably finishing volume 7...so yes, there is plenty of material left for a second season. ^^ I also hope they will make a second season, since it doesn't look like from the preview that they're making an anime original ending, though I could be wrong. But then again, like someone else said, they could just leave it as an open ending...which I think would be really weird. Why would they have adapted the manga into anime if they aren't going to end it properly?

Yes, I definitely shed a few tears for her. I love that part too, because she definitely did look like an angel (from the back). She wasn't even a horrible person or anything, yet she hated herself ;_;

Episode was good, better then some of the earlier ones. So I guess Shino did Kohaku in, oh well. She was dying anyways I think.
I actually don't like Shino being older, I'm glad he went back to his younger self.

Aside from Kohaku dying by Shino's hand, not very much else going on considering this is the next to the last episode. Final ep's previews look quite anticlimactic. Should be a second season.

I wanted Shino to remain an adult.

It's saddening that Kohaku died ultimately as a result of meeting Shiino. The scene, with her wings, was pretty magnificent.

One more episode. I didn't really understand the plot that much, but I got enough to get by.
5/5.

This was a great episode, the jokes were funny and the character development was very good. I wonder if Kohaku really died/disappeared/whatever'd though. This show has been great but it still feels like it's just started, I really want this to have a second season.

Aw no more 18 year old Shino.
Ahahah Kobungo when he said that Shino is totally Genpachi's type.

In the end I didn't care much for Kohaku but her entire life was tragic and that was sad.

In my opinion it was very good episode, even one of the best. The beginning was wonderful - especially a moment when Kobungo was suprised. I was glad to see Shino, when he looks like an adult. It's so cute but despite this I rather prefer Shino as a child.

I think that story of Kohaku was very beautiful and touching.

There is going to be a second season of this series. It was announce a week ago here in mal. ;)

I lol'd at Kobungo's reaction when he saw Shino xD HAhaha!
Shino's so handsome!

So sad, Kohaku died. I love the part when they showed her wings. It's magnificient.
I was hoping that maybe Shino can still save her. :/


I just hope this series is not yaoi though! ><

Ah look now misunderstandings everywhere - not that I mind it - Kaname walking in on Rio and all. I really wished Genpachi would get a peek at old Shino~ I wanted to see his reaction-

Kobungo's reaction was priceless.

Near the end I believe Shino voiced my thoughts about death and being alone and all. Lets see what the last episode of this season holds!

Really great episode!
Not a bad diversion, useful to say certain things and leave all moved, including me.
Poignant dialogues in the end I also hurt for the rest of us Kohaku, deep sadness.
But "the show must go on", we advance and see how this ends the first season.
Really beautiful designs, very detailed scenarios, even the color design satisfies me.
Series that truly deserves.
