New OP song is okay I guess but this episode was okay!

That "little girl" kinda was kinda strange but Suzuka is a boss. Kon is also freaking awesome~ I'm not a fan of that new girl yet though. Well the city was under siege so...

The episode was good.
About new opening. I'm a little disappointed, I expected something diffrent, but it's ok. Music is just fine. The plus in it that I don't see spoilers.
Episode was for me a explanation, break to something bigger ( who saw LN know =D).
Just normal episode, not bad not amazing - average.

Interesting episode. Had quite some foreshadowing here and there.

OP wasn't bad. Some repeated images from the previous one. The song isn't bad but last one is really hard to beat with how epic it was. Nice Kyouko naked body though *A* and NatsumexHarutora scene too ^^

It was nice seeing Harutora getting really impressed by Jin's battle so much that he was even trying to copy him XD. Hope his enthusiasm towards magic remains. I want him to get stronger :D...Nice going from Natsume telling that "Pro" off XD

I wonder who Takiko is? And her role in the upcoming events.

Kon was so cute in the library part stacking up the books just to get messed up again XD Poor Kon hahaha But her reaction to getting her tail touched was kawaii <3

Seems like Doman is alive as the glasses kid now? XD Lol'd at Suzu grabbing his face and pushing him back like that XD How she called Tenma Megane was lol...But from what Jin said, it seems like she's older than we actually thought? It's one revelation after another with this girl ^^;...First being Doman's disciple then being Jin's classmate O_o? What nxt XD...It was cute how she was trying to bargain for Kon XD

The part with Reiji and Shaver was lol. Seems like we have an S&M combo there lol

Loved how Suzuka revealed Jin's identity and Amami agreeing XD Jin's called Divine fan and Shadow hehehe. What nice names u have there sensei XD...Seems his white hair is permanent. Nice :D

The upcoming events seem nice. Can't wait. I wonder how well they'll get along with Reiji now lol hahaha

New character in this episode. Wonder who she really is. So I'm guessing that Suzu senpai was Ohtomo's classmate. Reiji coming in at the end revealing that he will be guarding them. Can't wait to see how that will go.

Episode was a set up one, but two things happened in her: One, is the new character name Takiko Souma which they talked about this "Heavenly Altar" and finding more information about of the Onmyo Prep. Two, Jin a former Divine General and some information about Ryou Saotome.

Well that ending, scene looks like it's going to be intense in later episodes. With Reiji supervising them, IDK what reaction will they have for this motivation.

Also for the OP... I like the previous one better, but this new is good so I guess I'll stick with it. The ED is not bad so I'll listen to this.

I really start to enjoy Tokyo Ravens more and more.

Nice, opening I guess, liked the first one more, but yea, it's better to change the opening after 12+ episodes.

I really like Suzu, she's so cool, cold, and a really funny person. I hope I can see her more, I really enjoy to see her focus on little things like Kon, haha

The new girl Takiko was interesting though. I liked her attitude and her red hair, and her look. Generally I like the drawn style of the character in this anime.

To get the Ogre Eater as guardian, you also could let them walk alone, lol

I already know a little bit of the story, so I am really excited of the upcoming episodes, but also I don't know what's going to happen.

They reused too many parts of the old OP in the new one. Seems more like they couldn't finish it in time or something imo. Ep was okay, though I would've liked a better VA for Takiko. Somehow this voice doesn't fit her...
Also, is she in love with Yakou or something?

OP/ED were okay.
Twin Horn Syndicate to be taken down..
Suzu (Haru's senpai) having possible connection to Suzu/Ryou Saotome?
The new girl.. Takiko, very interesting, she is.
And Reiji revealing to the group that he'll be protecting them..
Always gonna love Kon <3

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where we are in the anime in terms of the LN?

Not a fan of the new OP and ED, but whatever.

Good episode. I thought after ep. 14 it'd be very hard to follow up with any good stuff, but I'm glad I was wrong. So now we know why Suzu is involved with the Twin Horn Syndicate (her research after all deals directly with Yakou and therefore has a lot to do with Natsume) and we also know how she can bring back the likes of Ashiya Douman. Like Ootomo, she's likely at the level of divine generals and incredibly powerful herself. Less clear is how Hirata has removed himself from the internal cleansing that's gonna happen, because Amami clearly trusts him. This new arc looks very interesting though. I like how all the setup thus far has finally brought us to a good point.

New OP is pretty decent and ED very good.

Quite a lot of new info this week despite it all just being setup, I like it!

So Kyouko knows Amami huh? I guess it makes sense since her grandma is good friends with him.

I'm interested on who this Takiko chick is.

On a sidenote: the scene with Suzu in the car was hilarious!

I let out a loud "Ha!" when Natsume told off that "pro" lmao. Atta girl!

New character, looks fishy. Loli-lover senpai just won't give up on Kon haha.

So it's read as Suzu and not Ryou. I'm actually quite happy Baka-tora made the connection fairly quick. Took him what...13, 14 episodes to make that Hokuto-Natsume connection right?

Ahhh I want to read the English translation for this LN T____T Now that I've been spoiled by the illustrations, I'm dying here.

Hokuto is more much complicated and involved magic. So it's understandable. I'm more amused that Suzu wasn't even hiding her identity, Suzuka just ended up reading her name wrong. lol

Good episode! The opening and the ending were decent, but the first ones were a lot better.

So Suzu-senpai is this Saotome Suzu that they were investigating. Finally, Harutora is using his brain :)

This is getting really interesting! Really looking forward the next one.

This new girl will most likely be a problem.

That kid definitely came out of the box :P Bet he is a part/copy of Doman, either way he's most likely related.

It was a good episode.

I like the new opening song.

So, Suzu is actually Ryou.

I'm pretty sure there is a chance that Doman may be alive.

I wonder who is Takiko girl is?

I'm a little surprised that Reiji had revealed that he will protect Harutora and others.

Just some aftermath of previous eps + some revelations.

The Reiji guy gonna be Harutora and others guard, I'm expecting some different side from him 'cause for now he is just a jerk.

This anime has picked up considerably in this 2nd part. I'm certainly enjoying this more than I thought I would and that's saying a lot considering most shounen series are littered with nonsenses.

I have to agree with your statement. Having been a fan of Mami Kawada ever since Shana and Index, this one is somewhat a let down. Still, I prefer it over the first ED.

As for the episode, it's finally the calm before the storm. Having read parts of the LNs, I'm sort of looking forward to what's coming next. So far, they've adapted the novels quite well, surprisingly.

OP was surprisingly good! I thought it would suck but its still decent. I'm kind of disappointed with some reused scenes but it still looks fine. ED song was okay, imo previous ED song was better.
Harutora is trying to copy Jin, I wonder when can he succeed. Natsume defended Harutora nicely against the professional onmyouji.
New character! Takiko is hot, her voice sounds familiar. :o
Lol @ Kid version of Doman, I guess he possessed a child's body, rematch soon?
Lastly, all dat foreshadowing in this episode, I like how Amami is trying to bring down Twin-Horn and that too with full force but he still doesn't realize that his current right hand man Hirata is a Twin-Horn member. Can't wait for next episode now.

The new song was alright in my opinion and I might take some time getting used to it. On the other hand, the new ED is brilliant!!

The episode was was quite good and we have Suzuka with her intelligence as they find out about Ohtomo sensei was a former divine general. New character Souma Takiko appears but she seems alright for now. New Doman appears and I'm guessing something will happen pretty soon and it seems like Suzu is somehow related to Saotome somehow?

4/5
