Yup, Nene needs Hanako's help again.

The episode was alright with the usual amount of humor. Seeing Nene get "angry" at the boys was just amusing. Kou also seems to be a regular now so expecting to see a lot more of him this season. I have to admit though, the outside world has a surreal art style like blurring the lines of fiction and reality. Very interesting.

finally! That Funi delay sucked. got my anime club to watch this last week and everyone loved it, really loving the art style, story, character interactions etc. Great job by Lerche so far! looking forward to more. Another really good episode, lady at the end has a very familiar voice, can't place where I've heard it before. Like her design already tho.

The first few mins of this episode were boring due to it being the everybody forgot about a character cliche. But after that the episode became hilarious again and I laughed. Hanako and Minamoto were badass. Misaki seems really interesting and she has a sad backstory. I love Megumi Ogata's voice.

Really cool episode! (thankfully the wait wasnt too bad bc I already have a bunch of Thurs shows to watch). I thought the concept of searching for the missing body parts was kinda cool, almost like a freeware rpg horror puzzle? My only complaint is that I noticed that the main trio were offmodel (or at least didn't look as sharp) a lot more than the previous episodes

What a stunning episode, my favorite so far. It's becoming more and more painful to wait for each episode...
I died laughing when Yashiro screamed after being told she doesn't have to say anything.
I love the way Hanako trolls Kou. I find it interesting how he said he wouldn't protect him in the spirit world but did anyway. Hanako obviously has more depth than meets the eye. He also has absolutely no reason to keep Yashiro around, but does anyway. I'm starting to think he's just lonely.
Perfect setting for a good starter arc, excited for part 2.

This was the best episode out the three we have do far- then again this is the arc where Hanako kun really starts getting it’s interesting so I can see why! It’s late so I’ll break down my usual points for the episode tomorrow morning- however for now here’s my basic run down.

Animation- Much smoother this episode for the most part. I did notice there was a short segment where it seemed like the lineart was off, but overall the art style was great as always. The battle scene I have mixed feelings on. On one hand it’s only a minor battle in this arc do it doesn’t need to be hardcore- on the other hand- like other battles it could be drawn out a lil more and have a bit more animation- that being said, there were some more significantly animated scenes in this episodes battle -the knife animation in some parts was *finger kisses* wonderful, but then again I might just be hyped to see any type of complex battle animation since we didn’t really get it do far. Though there is an entire episode for what is basically a big battle next episode so I’m looking forward to see what they do there. They have so much time to play with it minus some backstory bits. I won’t be too shocked if they din’t as I feel they may not want to make battles as huge a focus in the adaptation which is fine though a bit of a shame- Hanako-kuns battles in the manga always wowed me with their creativity-

Though the battle leads me to a brief second point-

I already really like the stylistic directing of this show, but the battle was the highlight of this episode for me directing wise. Though short, there were some nice shots in it. It helped make up for the lack of animation in certain areas.


Comedy- Really hit well this arc, I was really laughing. I think the addition of Kou really helped. Hanako and Nene in the manga were funny on their own, but sometimes in the anime the same jokes would miss. But Kou and his interactions especially with Hanako has really helped highlight the funny oaets of Hanako himself. I’m glad that dome of my favourites jokes from the early part of the manga still make me laugh just as much in the anime.


Voice acting was great, better for Hanako than last week- nene and Kou are pretty flawless most of the time. Soundtrack was also nice.

The misaki stairs look so gorgeous, god I hope people stuck around for ep three just to see this set, because this is the sort of stuff I was eager to see animated and they totally delivered, it’s gorgeous!!

I’m gonna leave this at here for now but one more thing before I sleep.

Hanako's entire personality, and the way he keeps trolling everyone, really make him one of the best characters of the season. One of those understated ones, and yet watching the anime it's not even a question. I also love how he's a bit of a pervert and they don't even try to hide it. Just hilarious.

That scene where Kou was shaking Hanako-kun at the bathroom kinda let me down... I was kind of expecting something errr.... better with the animation? I don't know how to word it, sorry. Also I'm still getting used with Hanako-kun's voice. πŸ˜‚

Also, the Misaki Stairs (like, the place/boundary) was beautifully done. I would love to just stay there. 🀣 And goooosh Yako!!! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

I love this so much. The art style and colours are so wonderful to look at. The soundtrack is always on point and always mixes very well with the mood in every scene.

Giant sentient scissors running after me and trying to cut me down are some nightmare fuel to me, way worse than monsters or demons or other spooky stuff. >.<
Daikon Legs Nene, as always, is so adorable, that even if boob jokes are overused, the one in this episode was still funny to me just because of the characters' reactions and Nene being so embarrassed. Everyone talks about Megumi Ogata, but I'm also loving Akari Kitou's perfomance.

And I'm such a sucker for ED transitions where they start playing the song a few seconds before the episode actually ends. In the last two, they did it while a character talked about apparitions, but in this one it happened during the actual story, I loved it!

Good ep, tho art seemed slightly off in a few places.

Interestingly, this adapted 2.5 chapters. Still worried about where it's gonna end.

We got a two part-er to potentially introduce a character that will be sticking around. Very cool ascetic for her spirit world or whatever. Pretty interesting how each of the seven wonder spirits can have their own dimension, if you will, where they reside in. Clearly they can be unique as Hanako's is just a dumpy bathroom.

So it's time to get to know another Wonder like Hanako-kun, huh. I love that Kou is pretty much already part of the group, he is cool. xD Being dragged to a boundary, having your existence erased, and a giant scissor trying to slice you isn't cool though. Here's hoping Yashiro can save her friend! And I wonder what's the deal with that guy who bumped into Yashiro early in the episode.

I'm shooketh to find out that the sexy ASMR voice Hanako-kun has is a woman's "Megumi Ogata". I think his voice is one of is best traits, if not the bestest one xD

Smtg tells me that Hanako-kun is way more serious deep down than what he presents himself to be.
I honestly think that Hanako-kun is in love with Nene
But i do not know if it is an innocent & pure casual romcom crush, a yandere-like pervy-ish obsessive ero lol or just because he's extremely lonely & finally he has found someone he can spend his time with. Maybe it's all of the above.

But i have to say Hanako-kun is a tragic, poetic, muidimensional & multilayered character. I hope he'll have a happy ending T-T

Ep 3 was nice, the art was mesmerizing & hypnotizing as usual. The story has some stereotypes & clichés but it re-uses them in an entertaining way. I love how this anime buit its own mythos based on japanese urban legends & how they make it fun to watch <3

I freaking love the adaption and how they stayed true to the original color scheme <3!
It's so faithful and well animated but I do wish the action scenes were even more dynamic. Like idk in the manga they are definitely as well drawn and thought out as scenes from shounen manga but oh well I guess the budget isn't there.

Hanako being playful and flirty with Nene is my favorite thing ehehe

Yeah, I agree. I like his nuanced and juxtaposing character, it's pretty anomalous, which isn't really a common trait that pervades most anime through the majority of the story.

Hanako's so damn freaking funny; I love him so much xD Ogata's REALLY good at expressing wicked glee and that's a key part to his character; you can just tell.

The Spirit world gave me Spirited Away flashbacks...which is a good thing. I like how Nene's all "STUPID BOYS" because she's the only one taking this really seriously. xD
