Geez, the beginning of this episode was intense: http://i.imgur.com/fLMFaVD.png. Anyways, I'm still curious about Mirai and her past with those flashback like images.

Oh poor Akihito lol, dat panda outfit and the cat letter lolol. I find the bonding scenes between Mirai and Akihito kinda cute though except that revelation.

Looks like the girl remembered the person who she killed before during the final shot, which she confessed about it at the endof the ep. The main guy tries to get her to join the club. That guy... he's different from his character from Free! The main guy's mother is even weirder than him. Wow @ the letter.

Lol Mirai only gets 1000 yen ($10) fuyukai desu! Oh shi- Mirai killed some one! (The girl we saw earlier.) Aki also seems to have a traumatic past.

Next episode: Mirai vs Sakura, can't wait!

More amazing sakuga
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.

I'm glad Mirai killed that troublesome ghost, I'm impressed at the thing, it can use it's bandages to fly, ensnare and overall just escape from nearly any situation, but I wonder if her reluctance to kill them stems from her past due to the flashbacks of the person she killed.

Great fight in the beginning, loving that KyoAni action animation.
Lol at Hiromi with that waist grab, and at Akihito's mom.
That giant youmu looks intense. Can't wait!

The fight was fantastic, it's great to see KyoAni using their considerable talent to animate something other than slice-of-life.

Also, I love the ending theme.

Holy -....that kind of swordplay!

The adage "Don't judge a book by its cover" surely applies to that level of a fight with Mirai.

Well sh*t, as expected of Mirai being the last of her clan.

That fight was great. I love the action animation they put in to this. Akihito's mom is one of a kind I guess you can say. I hope Mirai joins the club, but I guess she is still troubled but the fact she killed someone. In the beginning it looked like maybe Akihito did too. I wonder will they fight the youmu that doesn't have a form next episode? Never the less I can't wait.

Yep, this ep confirms it for me. Definitely top3 of the season for me.

Damn that fight at the beginning was fabulous!!! Dat Sakuga!! Dat animation!!!
Love Mirai's fighting style. It's so awesome! Especially how she switched the sword from facing upwards to downward like that. She's so BA!! And the kill at the end was really nice.

Also the scene in the cafeteria, she was so cute <3

Akihito's past seems interesting at the start. Nice touch starting the ep with him killing someone and ending it with Mirai confessing she killed someone too. Pretty nice touch there.

Hiromi seems interesting. Lol'd at how he put his hands around his waist XD

I wonder what changed Mitsuki's mind? She was telling him to not get involved with her and now she's talking to her normally.

Akihito's Mom is sooooooo lol and HOT XD...I actually thought she's the Youmu. Interesting to know it's his father. I hope his dad is a BA. Well I'm sure he will be ^^

Ayaka is pretty interesting too. Can't wait to see this dark Youmu incoming. The action it brings should be epic!! :D

Yeah the comedy is okay, sometimes it makes me go "I think I'm supposed to laugh at this..." There were a few parts that did make me chuckle, but that's about it. Beautiful animation and direction though for the fight scene. Nice introduction of a few other characters. I'm mostly interested in both of their past since we get flashbacks for Akihito and Mirai and they seemed to have gone through some traumatic experience.

Comedy is still more or less the same as the last episode which is not good at all. I did enjoy this episode as it expanded more upon the supernatural side of things and got a bit more serious. Animation-wise, the swordplay, and so on are just fantastic to look at. Better than the last episode for sure.

Man something continues to be off about this show and I continue to feel it's with how Mirai has been portrayed up to this point. It's like the show just can't decide between whether it wants her to seem like a helpless mewling kitten, an efficient fighter of Youmu, and/or an unapproachable aloof personality. She continues to be by far the most inconsistent character (none of the other cast members have really had all that much screen time other than to engage in lame gag humor with Akihito) in the show and the comedy sketches continue to just make me facepalm like most Kyoani shows that attempt humor. There was some okay exposition at points though, but it's hard to tell where it leads as the show is so tonally inconsistent from scene to scene that it's entirely possible that the big reveal at the end about Mirai killing someone is played off by Akihito with a line like, "Whatever you did is in the past, I just can't stand to see a pretty girl with glasses crying at the same restaurant table as me" and her calling him an idiot or something while pouting.

A girl this cute can't have killed someone! D8

I really like the ending. UvU
aphton said:
At the end of the episode she tells him to not involve himself with her.
Wasnt she the one who couldnt stop chasing and stabbing him?

Then when he tries to socialize/befriend her, she lets that kind of bullcrap out - "I killed someone"?
So what, you were trying to kill him the last episode too... You dont rly seem to be very traumatically affected by it..

All in all, the main "heroine" isnt unique; Its like from a recipe:
add glasses
add clumsiness
add pseudo-traumatic past that explains all her behaviour
- voila, your generic heroine..

I get it, that some ppl - especially those who are new to the anime world and havent seen quality stuff, can enjoy it.. but rly..
that doesnt make it better!

This show doesnt seem to be worth watching atm.. Ill give it a few episodes before dropping

Have a nice evening!


I have to admit you have a good point though.

well the comedy is probably more funny if you hear it, as opposed to reading. You're going to get sub delay effect, plus it's more cutesy than just humor, its not meant to be pure comedy.

A totally consistent character with a totally consistent plot is called real life and has no appeal to most people and wont sell. There are anime with general appeal and there are anime with artistic appeal. If you don't like mcdonalds and bieber...then you probably won't like this show. It's funny how people still cannot tell what kind of anime would appeal to them, and tries to find some deeper reason for not liking a show.

I doubt the best delivery in the world could make these gag bits approach humorous cause the timing of them is so awkward. You think you're about to have some more exposition and then suddenly the dude is off about how turned on he is by glasses and Mitsuki is giving him a hard time with the stock "oh ecchi" retorts. I assume it's supposed to be charming or something, but it's all very by the book LN style humor that I really just don't funny or really fitting most of the time it comes up. Doesn't work for me whatsoever.

Not bad. The fight scene at the start was pretty intense and it looked great, they also used the OST from the trailer which was quite cool. Not really feeling the characters yet, though I'll keep watching to see where the story goes.

This was a good episode, the animation during the fight was great, but I find it odd how Mirai was able to fight so well when she's not really used to it, but for her to say that she killed someone at the end has me more interested on her past, because her personality is a bit all over the place at the moment.

A little better than the first episode. The animation at the beginning was great and the new characters seem like they could be interesting. Some points really do seem forced though and I'm not to sure how I feel about a character with PTSD being handled as moe the other half of the time

so in the first episode when they said one of his parents is a human and one of his parents is a youmu, I was thinking one of his parents was a normal human and one of his parents looked like the youmu in that first episode, which was interesting to imagine

in this episode they show that youmu can look like normal humans, so now it's not as weird
