Decent episode. Yuki Onna still makes this show for me, and a large part of that is because of Horie Yui. So far, this seems to be a better shonen than Kekkaishi(currently airing on Adult Swim), since that one is pretty much about making cakes.

Agreed. More Yuki please. The one thing Kekkaishi did well was the interaction between characters and the plot.... But yeah they had a few episodes about cake... Hopefully they can get the same level in that respect, but for characters i really like the cast so far.


Well, everyone keeps telling me it gets better at a certain point, so I haven't given up on it yet.

More Youkai action going on; this series is looking up. Love the way the cherry blossoms are animated.


EDIT: Youkai Rikuo is a baddass :D


Definitely agree with all of the above. *distracted by cherry blossoms*

I'm still undecided about this show. I found myself feeling more like I was being forced to watch it than I had voluntarily clicked the play button. But I'll keep watching, because I think it could end up being good.

Wow, this was pretty bad. average.

And the fight animation was just derp.

Also, that lady that's thanking the sponsors is talking REEEEAAAAALLY slow. It's so funny, it makes me lol everytime. XD

you know even shiibashi-sensei don't want to share why youkai rikou hair like that when he got interviewed lol
must be because the head will be like his grandfather

but anyway this episode is good and funny(especially when tsurara/yuki-onna bring the tea)

Is it me or does the background music at around 11:00 sound like harry potter?


No it's not only you! I noticed that too from the first episode...

Overall an ok episode! I hope it gets better with time...

Kekkaishi picks up at around ep 10-20, and becomes really good. It's one of the most original shounens I've ever seen.

Also, something that I don't approve of, is Rikuo's hair when he's Night-Rikuo. It like.. Stands.. By itself. It's creepy xD.
Not as creepy as his grandfather's head which just looks like it was modeled after a roach XD

More Youkai fights needed!

LMFAO i refuse to believe that he has that dickhead just like the grandfather. 8[ no, just no.

anyways, this might be my fave show this season. ❤ but i'm probably just biased since this really reminds me of inuyasha. WATCHING THIS IS A TOTAL NOSTALGIA TRIP. oh, i also love the seiyuu cast. A LOT.

Kind of a step down, I thought. The night version of the kid disappointed with his appearance. Much of the laughs that were in the first episode were missing from this one. Still has potential so I'll stick around.

I half agree. The nice animation and great cast make this just a little better than the manga, and therefore watchable.

Though I actually really enjoyed this episode, mostly because of Zen :3 He's one of the few characters I like.

Yuki-Onna might have a nice time with Night Rikou if they get together XD
honestly those are my 2 fav characters of the season, also,
i felt a strange bishounen vibe from the Zen Drinking with Night Rikou scene, ...meh i dont care much for it but i guess it could be a good bonus for the fangirls, may the doujins begin :P

Another good episode--I rather like how they're handling the story for this show. I'm curious to see where it will go next.

well it was ok.. first few episodes were just for introduction of characters, and have little fight scenes. The fights start to be better at the gyuuki arc. and I LOL'ed at this episode when Tsurara made Rikuo an iceberg xD

somehow i don't like it :/ I waited for this , but still ( or maybe that's exactly why)...
I prefer manga more , anime don't have that feeling like manga.I don't like voice actor either , ah no i like Kurotabou and aotabou voice :P Oh and Day-Rikuo is ok too :D:D But Night-Rikuo ... damn this too Lelouch-ish, And I can't erase his picture from my mind XD And I just wait when he transform into Lulu and stars his war agains Britania( I guess I spell it wrong XD?)
The way of telling story - I love this in manga and in anime everything is hmmm wrong? Battle was terribly animated XD Oh lol XD Probably I will still watch rest of anime ( it's only 24 episodes so I can stand it [I hope TAT]) and wait for smt better..

Yes,yes It's my little complainings corner XD
Sorry for my English ^^' If you notice any mistakes, please tell me about it ^^ Thanks for corrections ^^

This second episode was everything like a good shonen episode, the characters and developments were good at least. Feels a bit like a subpar Kekkaishi though.

Demons are practicing feudalism. Interesting worldbuilding.
Rikuo has separate memories for his human & demon form? He's so badass during his demon form.

I'm rooting for Yuki Onna if she has feelings for Rikuo. Both her human form and demon form are so cute. She looks nice in both her kimono and school uniform.

started biting my laptop when Rikuo protected Zen, btw it was so hard to write a respectful comment when a cutie like Zen existed but I`ll keep my unholy thoughts sealed away for community`s sake phew
