Oh I can feel the pain of the miko..


Well shit hit the fan with the Oni. Ugh, it looks butt ugly to me. I guess this min arc is over then, not too shabby I guess.

The two meets and fight immediately for a while. Then Shadow revealing who he is. Shadow has the same one as Yanahime and it released as dragon and felt Yanahime's symbol. The dragon that Shadow had is given to Shino.

Interesting that the dragon is to grant the bearer's wish to get released, not help the bearer to grant others' wishes. Yanahime, who is at her limit now,'s wish for herself is to be a normal girl. Both dragons went into Shadow at the end...

About Kamaitachi?

Hmm I don't know, I like this season SO MUCH BETTER than the first season, I can't even tell if I just grew a liking to the characters or if it really is much better than the first season.
To me, in season one I think the episodes didn't have nearly as much a straight direction and weren't as...satisfying?
I don't know, is there somebody who feels similarilly?
I really liked that episode, you really could feel the pain of Yana-hime and it was great to see her free in the train in the end.
8/10 (To me, season one in general was 6/10)

Nope u're not the only one ^^ This season is definitely better than S1 :D

Well for the ep...Good episode.

Still waiting to know more about Ao. I feel like he's gonna have quite the sad past.

Yana's dragon form looked really epic!

Seems nxt ep is comedy.

It is one of the best anime this season. To say this, when I was not a big fan of first season means that it really has become much better like other's said. Yana was in so much pain. Such a nice girl and I am glad for her. Amazing end to an amazing arc. I am engrossed now. I wish she appears more since i loved her. The ED song is so great! I love Ceui's voice so much!

Btw, I honestly don't know what's wrong with me and I wanna hit myself for this but I somehow like Genpachi x Shino... Why am I shipping yaoi??? O_O...

Good thing everything ended up well with Yana, her story was so sad >< Her new hairstyle definitely makes her seem like a regular girl. That bgm was beautiful, when Yana's wish was being granted, and Ao letting the deity reside within him. Also, that fight between Sousuke and Ao...poor Shino having to choose.

OMG.. I'm liking this show so much more than before. the first season wasn't like this.. I hope this show will have more episodes :D

I like what happened to Yana at the end. I like her hair. And she became more beautiful.
Lol at the Shadow. Somehow, I'm not a little bit scared oh him anymore. I'm more scared to Sousuke O.O

Nice, glad to see Yana finally getting over all of that.

Nice little arc, I didn't expect "Evil" Sousuke to be that friendly.

I can sense bromance from Ao's side. All in all a good episode, lacked the action though. The preview didn't help much I think ? Weasels? Really?

I wonder if Ao and Sousuke will become one, because it seems that Sousuke's body is not working right.

This episode was alright, I'm happy Yana gets to live a normal life now.
But, I'm a bit confused...why did Shiro give Ao the double Yana spirit..thing (what is it called xD?) Shiro knows that Ao will use it against him, so why give it to him?

Can't wait for the next episode~

Yeah she was my fav female character aside from Chizuru, but if I recall correctly she is staying at the catholic church, but don't see the reason why her family totally forgets about her. Who knows, Ao might just randomly kidnap or make a deal or whatnot with Hamaji..
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong!

The last part where Yana's halves were released and completed its form was pretty good - visual and sound.
Can't help but always love every scene between Ao x Shino x Sou.

Didn't really like Yana in terms of her cliche personality of denying the fact that her "siblings/guardians" cared for her. The episode was good, and it's clear that Ao and Shino will meet again soon. Now Ao has less of an impression of an "evil" person, and can be scene more as a "friend" of Shino's past.

Really great episode and moving ending =D that OST
Yana looked like she was the daughter in a family at the end ^^ good for her, though, to be released of her stressful duty.

Yeah, I feel like S2 is way better than S1, probably because stuff is actually going on. When I think of S1, I don't think of much going on plot-wise.

Random comedy made me laugh xD

Overall I'm enjoying the second season more so far. It's difficult to place a reason why, but I guess it's because Hakkenden finally grew on me. I really do like some of the stories from the first season such as Yukihime, Kohaku, and the last episode with the events in the church, but I feel like season 2 is drawing me in more so than the first.

As for this episode, I felt it was really powerful and filled with plenty of emotions. I'm glad Yana could escape being a puppet for the people of that village and is on to finally enjoy her own life with Saki and the other guy (forgot his name).

Yana cut her hair short?! D: I'm glad she got to live in the end, but does she get a bead like the others do? Oh, and the duel between Sousuke and his shadow was epic!

First they introduced Ao as a really bad guy who killed and stole someone's heart. And now they're all familiar with him. And of course, there's the "oh, powerup?? dang sorry, can't handle more than one so how about hmmm... hey!! guy who tried to kill my best friend just a while ago!! you want that new powerup?? what you want me to ask cutely?? ok fine. hey thanks!!"

So yep.

But uh, did Ao ever introduced himself as "Ao" to the others....? Aside from the blind girl? What? I'm confused.

I still like this nonetheless.
