I wonder how many episodes is this whole series? I REALLY HOPE THERE ISN'T JUST LIKE 12 EPISODES...:P I want to see romance with Miyuki and Izumiko.

So many episodes ARE there? O.o

It felt awkward to have them introduce Mayura's brother Manatsu where he is already acquainted with Miyuki somewhere in the middle-end of the episode, and close enough to know he is within the supernatural network of friends that is Izumiko, Mayura, Miyuki, Manatsu, (and now Masumi), where he can ask Miyuki specifically about his sister around 21:25 minutes into the episode.
But don't forget Miyuki transferred to the school several months before Izumiko was transferred in, so it is not a stretch to see him already acquainted with Manatsu by the time Izumiko got into the school.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Not bad i guess, most of it was actually decent. Too bad her face is probably messed up now. Seems they will be executing their plan in the Ned episode.

How is everyone getting shipping vibes from the two MCs? Usually, I would ship characters like them together but for some reason...things just don't click for me with them? :/

So far I'm still giving this a 6/10.

Mayura x Manatsu? They're brother and sister! And two thirds of triplets, so it isn't like they could pull the "not blood related" card out either. ICK!

For the record, I don't get that vibe at all, just the normal concern for one's sibling and stuff...

I am so glad that this anime is getting better by the minute. Sagara is still a jerk.

So Izumiko's roomates is a triplet, and her Manatsu is the 2nd, he's pretty cool. But so sad their third died. I wonder if this will have something to do with the story later on.

So Wakamiya (or whatever his name was)'s look alike is also some kind of spirit summoner or whatever..

Cool, cool.

Oh and Masumi, another (M name)...is a spirit agent, or what? that's something I don't get...

I was right to think that this is starting to become a hidden jewel... it started slow but this is getting really interesting.

Still I don't know how far they could go with just 12 episodes :/

and I do hope they won't pull a Blue Exorcist on us...

Masumi is their dead brother. Why he is dressed like a girl, I have no clue. If you check the character list, he is voiced by a man. You will frequently find boys voiced by women, but not usually the other way around... Looks like the fan-subs messed up the gender references on that, or they just based it on the looks of the character.

This was the best episode yet! I'm loving this show sooooo much!

Did the English subtitle properly translate the Kakaishu mantra of Acala Naatha 不動明王chanted by Miyuki? Or perhaps too difficult for them to translate which delays the release of the fansub?


namaH sarvatathaagatebhyaH sarvamukhebhyaH,
sarvathaa traT caNDamahaaroSaNa khaM khaahi khaahi
sarvavighanaM huuM traT haaM maaM


And then there is the HikouGoshinIn chanted by Miyuki facing the computer with the mandatory gesture:

Om BazaraGini HarajiHattaya Sowaka

And the mandra chanted by Mayura and Manatsu to summon Masumi is even more complicated, which is a Jousangou mantra involving no less than 3 mandra gestures like the one above: Butsubu Sanmaya, Renkabu Sanmaya and Kongoubu Sanmaya.


It's quite hard to sub the 火界咒mantras. For the effect they could have used the original sanskrit transcriptions for the lulz.


And also please kids. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

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.

I thought 不動明王 is the embodiment of Buddha's "wrath"... When it comes right down to it, chanting this mantra shouldn't be harmful.

Though, not like I'll ever chant the mantra as religion is like old stories/mythology cultural writing to me...

Still... Why don't try it? I doubt it'll curse you.


Anyways, very nice episode ^_^ My favorite show of the season so far.

I'm waiting for the moment where Izumiko finally let's her hair down. She wcould be really pretty if she did.

It might not be harmful to you but might be harmful to other things if you don't do it right ...

So, finally we see some development.
Izumiko still bores me a little bit with all that too naive attitude of hers, but the show is slowly showing more and more possibilities and frankly I think is exploring really well the whole mythological aspects of the story...

Looks like this school has got a lot of things going down. I liked the new chars introduced here and both Manatsu and Mayura seems pretty nice to me. The Wamiya lookalike looks like a faggot.

Nice episode. A lot happened and more characters got introduced. I actually like the explanation of Mayura about Sagara and Suzuhara being a couple. My heart went dokidoki. *blush*

Suzuhara's naivety somehow still an annoyance but hopefully, she'll improved in later episodes.

Masumi is dead so he's probably using a girl's body as vessel. Yay, Kimura Ryouhei-san is voicing him.
Who's the long-haired guy? *another blush...facepalm* Anyway, next episode looks interesting.

No, Fudo Myouo (Japanese pronunciation) is not the embodiment of Buddha's "wrath" (a buddha doesn't have wrath to begin with, that is what makes him the Buddha). He is "immovable" faith. He represents the truth stripped of all delusions, all ignorance, all evasion.

Nice website for Buddhism in general,
