Well not much happened in this episode except for more information on the unseen world but it was still very enjoyable. I loled at the part where Masayuki spooked that kid haha and oh yeah it was cool how Makoto actually scared away those bullies that were picking on Masayuki:P
and I guess Makoto is the true ghost hound unlike tarou's underdeveloped form.lol

If you look at the story, than i would say that this ep was just average. Just as Triethano said it didn't happen much. But to my opinion this ep was awesome anyway.
I liked the new form of Makoto and Masayukis coolness in the bulli-situation.
But the ending was DA VERY VERY BEST!!!

"YO!"

My vote: "Loved it"

Haha, nice episode. The Miyako moments were great and the last scene was hilarious. But was that really Tarou transforming? I like this more-evil version (or rather completed version, compared to the ghost hound in the last ep) but I wasn't sure if it was his seiyuu speaking. Looking forward to Syntax Error.

I laughed when Masayuki tried doing his "Weapon select" against those bullies. Otherwise an uneventful but enjoyable episode where we saw a fully develloped(badass!) ghost hound.

OMK! The part at the end, when that boy fell over the magazines... that was so fucking funny. It looked like he threw himself into the magazine rack - face first .... Ha!
But "I didn't do anything" Yeah right Masayuki...
Sure technically you didn't...

HA, that was funnny.

Heh, tarou likes them young or something :D


Cool episode, though I'm a bit upset about the decent into woo. Lets not fuzzy the line between TV and reality guys.

Next episode sounds like something my calculator does...

Umm I think it was Ogami transforming during this episode and Masayuki thinking that it was Tarou...or something ^^;;. Anyways I enjoyed this episode really much, as many watchers have already said, the last scene was hilarious.

Last scene was completely awesome <3 xD
And the fully formed ghost hound looks like a rabid dog, but cool nonetheless.

Yeah, it kind of looked like a Jackal, I guess that reflects his personality. I still don't think Ogami is trustworthy, he seemed a little too power happy. He might forming into some sort of a protagonist.

Hehe, the final scene was funny. It was like a humorous plot twist. Even though these episodes are uneventful, I can't help but like the episodes anyway. Maybe it's the character interaction between Tarou, Makoto, Masayuki, Miyako and the rest of the town?

The end was funny, but also kind of sinister - that his "yo" came out sounding scrambled was really eerie. Plus the "I didn't do anything" makes me wonder where they're going with that. Childish fun turned evil...?

I'm confused about who the brewer lady is. Is she a cousin of Tarou's? Or just some girl they hired?

She is the daughter of the previous brewer master, I believe. I'm not sure if she has any real relation to them other than that.

I dunno, Tarou himself looks like he's still in elementary school too. Plus you got this whole forum fawning over her too and theres an even bigger age gap there. xD

Awesome episode, ogami's wolf-like transformation was badass, with his litebrite tail xD

more and more regular people are becoming able to see these spirit entities, im sure theyre going somewhere with this. bit dissapointed they didnt show what happened from the last episode with the spirits all around the girl playing tetris.


Another miyako moment there xD

Even though their OBE bodies are just weird (opaque asses and ears, wtf?), I love the character development in this show. It reminds me of a classic novel about teenage boys growing up with each other or something. O.o

That tiny seed of romance was seriously cute.

Oh, and I'm thinking that all three will unleash their hound form somehow. I've said this but I'm really worried that they'll be out of their bodies for far too long and they won't be able to come back and they'll haunt this world as hounds forrr...ever or something. NOOO.

I think this was actually a pivotal episode in the series -- first, you see Masayuki have a bit more character growth here.

Even knowing that his weapons won't work in the real world, he continues to do what he thinks is right and not back down to the bullies.
Also, we see some Makoto growth here as well -- before he used to be extremely aloof, but you see him come in and scare off those bullying Masayuki.

We see an interesting side of Tarou whenever he's talking about the yeast fermenting in the barrel -- new lives are being made, but at the same time, others are dying.

Also, I think that Makoto has a lot of anger inside of him -- his 'Ghost Hound' form looked entirely sinister to me, and I feel he's going to become either an anti-hero, a bad-ass protagonist who saved the other two in the future, or turn into an antagonist.
Know an AMAZINGGG anime with a strong male lead?!?!11one//?!

TELLMEEEE.
NoSrsly, bby. I'll love you forever. But no romance. I mean, romance is fine between you and I, but I don't want to watch that crap, okay? Okay.

Miyako and tarou are cute together.. I loved tarou blushing :)

Interesting episode as usual i think this is one of the better animes who actually make you think and wonder what happens next and eho could be a potential bad guy.

Ogami seem to like power i think he might turn into a bad guy..

The preview looks somewhat scary, I'm guessing something happened with Makoto. Not a lot happened in this episode.

Miyako counting the drinks was so funny, lol.

Makoto's ghost hound form is cool. Definitely more complete than Taro's, who can't seem to transform properly.

mmm weakest episode so far. The enviromental talk had nothing to do with the rest of the series (so far, at least), and yeah Taro, stay away from that little girl. Also, the protagonists should stop talking about the spiritual stuff with people that doesn't know shit about it. Also...don't tell me they all will get super powers and this will turn into an action show...
