That woman with two red eye guy moved, and I guess that she's Yakumo's mother. Whether or not if she's his mother, she was working for Yakumo's father to get him?

SM?
That chief is certainly a interesting woman.
So that white haired woman wasn't Yakumo's mother but a girl who voluntarily went with his father after her family was killed by him?

And who was the guy tailing Haruka?

was it the one where there in the room where yakumo basically wanted to skip a scene, which gotou wanted to do since the begining? the one that said:
"That N-word"?
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

"'The N-word'" Lmao, I find it more hilarious that you called it that than the way it was used in the episode! XD

This show is now half-over. It's going so fast. Any chance these last 6 episodes will be entirely about the main plot? Let's hope so. Either way, I've enjoyed every episode so far, even if this one was a bit confusing for me. Gah, the ending... Bitch needs to get off Yakumo! >:(

Also, I thought it was kinda interesting that Yakumo told Haruka he'd "make it up to her" on the phone since he said he probably wasn't going to go. I suppose that's his way of saying he does care. He probably would have shown up to see her if the situation hadn't changed, then he'd make an excuse and say how he didn't want to come.

Lastly, this anime's discussion threads always get so few posts. People need to pay more attention to this show. :(

After skimming through the episode again, is that girl in the beginning maybe the blonde woman who is with Yakumo's dad now? That could have been a flash back from when they first met. Also, since she was so young, could she maybe be the girl from the mansion that went missing? Just thought I'd throw it out there.

McRib said:

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that's just Nordkohl trying to be infuse their brand of humor into the subs.

I can't seem to care what happens to the characters, and the suspense is just... almost nonexistent. Too bad, could've been a better show. I'll keep watching, though, owing mainly to the amazing OP.

Is this what he really said?

Or did we just get trolled by the subbers?

Now, with only about 6 eps left, the real story starts. It's going to be SO rushed.
Ishii is a big ass pussy!!
And why is the deranged blonde bitch talking about she loves Yakumo?? She's got an interesting way of showing it.

Average developments. I'm afraid this show could very well go downhill from now on with the blonde woman and Yakumo's father's input as clichéd mystery villains.

Yeah I saw it and unlike others I didn't find it funny at all. Those who did are idiots. Racial slurs aren't meant to be funny they are meant to be hurtful. If that's Nordkohls brand of "humor" it's really pathetic. I hope they intend to fix that. Never before have I see fansubbers with so low of integrity. If you are going to do it at least try to do it right. I know they are free subs and I have no say in the matter but that turned me off to the rest of the episode. Yeah I take things like this very seriously.

Despite that I thought this was one of the best episodes so far. I can't believe there are only a few episodes left. :(

The N word was a troll by the subs. I wouldn't think that it would be a colloquial term to call somebody in Japanese even if i hadn't heard that.

Too little Yakumo for a while there, but not bad. Glad that assistant got a punch to the face, it would obviously be safer being with somebody than standing in the dark anyways.

I finally got who the woman was, and the reason they flashbacked to the phone call. You can tell i don't watch detective shows.... and did she just stun gun him in the heart?

... Stop worrying about the troll subs. All we need to worry about is Yakumo getting stunned but later reappearing in teh preview. Dammit, that person near Yakumo should get killed.

This show, no matter how it's seen, is way TOO underrated!

EDIT: New opening gets rid of the autotune and editing, making what I call Phase 3, the unedited version. I kinda like it at least.

Never trust a woman with purple lipstick & a fox stuck in her hair.

Every time I see that woman, I literally want to gag. See looks like a drugged up prostitute, who did her hair & make up in the dark and bought her clothes from a circus.

When she ripped off Yakumo's shirt, threw him to the ground, and touched his chest; I was screaming at my computer screen.

4/5 for this episode. :)

The op has gone from one of my favorites this year to probably one of the worst.

What a surprisingly weak episode after such an interesting open. Sucked that Yakumo got all quiet and went off on his own. The last couple minutes with Ishii and then Yakumo were great and promise a neat following episode (although I don't like to say that about a series with a mere 13 eps!)

As a consolation prize there was some good music, though.

i agree. i can't seem to care much about any of the characters. i especially could care less what happens to haruka, and she's the main character... the show had potential. i've skimmed the manga, and it was pretty good. but i think everything has been poorly executed in the anime, making it average. it's pretty sad when i think the highlight of the show is the opening.

i don't think it's underrated. i think the rating is decent since it's an average show. i can't help but compare this anime to ghost hunt. and ghost hunt was done way better. perhaps my rating would be different if i hadn't watched ghost hunt. but since i have watched it, i keep thinking that shinrei tantei yakumo is simply a poorly executed ghost hunt.

It was said earlier about how that mysterious woman's family gets killed and then she follows yakumo's dad.

I don't think thats the case.

It looks like he said he's going to set her free and then goes to kill her family xD

Im guessing she was a misunderstood child and was treated as the black sheep or something.

Now she's just a woman that likes to taze people xD

I feel like things are finally getting more interesting...

I can't help thinking that in terms of plot/pacing, this kinda reminds me of Devil May Cry--just because there are some random-ish episodic stories at the beginning, with some vaguely mysterious/creepy guy lurking around the peripheral, and then the last episodes finally create (or try to create) some semblance of an actual overall plot for the series...I'm not sure if that's how things are going to play out here, but it seems as though it's heading that way.

This episode was kind of fillerish but got better when two and two got put together revealing the little girl was the mysterious man's apprentice. Writing was kind of uneven but pulled through in the end where they explored the supposedly haunted house. Still it's panning out to be rather predictable (really who didn't see Hoshino being possessed?)

The music was mostly good but I think the music played when Goto's wife talks about the Nanase murders was way inappropriate. Yes Music discordance is a common trope of music and 9/10 times it's horribly distracting. It's the same reason I hate when anime directors suddenly decide to throw in classical music.

The 3rd version of the opening, is really lack luster. I was growing on the first opening a bit but metal has never really been my thing. Got to admit it's pretty different as far as shoujo goes.

Well in a 13 episode series the last six episodes are the most important so lets see how it goes.
