----------------------------------------
Lots of talking in this episode, also no action or battle.

The only thing worth notable is Mysterious Boy short appearance..

thanks. just watched it.

Thoughts on this episode:

Ryou. Ryou. Ryou. Ryou. Ryou. Ryou. Ryou.

<3 <3 <3 <3 yea I'm in love again. <3 <3 I've fallen in love with Ryou again! And my reason for watching this anime has doubled.

And oh darn his smirk, oh man I've got butterflies. Kyaa I'm such a Ryou fangirl.

And Tamaki, you may have just sit there doing nothing but you were a brave girl!

now, rant time:

WHAT THE %^&* HAVE THEY DONE TO MY DARLING'S FACE? HOW DARE THEY RUIN HIS FACE LIKE THAT! RYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope he has good screen time!

Grandma Obvious states some more obvious crap at the beginning of the episode :P.

I couldn't stop laughing when the new guy, Ryou, showed up. Kept on thinking "Hey what's Shiki (from Togainu No Chi) doing here?! It appears that he likes to smell stuff in this anime as well" XD.

My favourite character right now is definitely O-Chan. That is one seriously frickin adorable kitsune :D.

So Tamaki gets 6 protectors then? ;)

I wonder if she will end up with Onizaki. Seems to be the most likely path at the moment especially with all the hints given this episode :).

yea the anime is literally screaming 'HEY! SHE'S GONNA END UP WITH TAKUMA!' something which I HATE in reverse harems....

ah well, as long as they make an OVA for each character, including Ryu and they animate his route in the fandisk, I will be immensely happy as Ryou's route has the most hotness.

I feel ya. My heart melted into warm blubber too.


but one thing I've noticed, she BARELY has any interaction with any characters except takuma in terms of romance. I think fans are gonna be pissed at that. Maybe that's one of the reasons its not selling well.

If it caters to the takuma fanbase alone it'll lose out on the other chara's fanbase which are 10 times larger than takuma when put togther especially if you include Ryu. His videos are more popular that Takuma's which is kind of a laugh considering Takuma's the main and Ryou is supporting chara.

At least in hakuouki she has the moments she had in the game with the other charas other than hijikata until all of em except hijikata died.

I really hope that they include more romance interactions with other characters otherwise female otaku in japan are gonna be extremely annoyed.

whoever is directing this series is making a big mistake.

A bit of a slow episode.

Well, it seems that Mitsuru has an apparent crush on one of the guardians.

Mm, Fiona-sensei dropping by again at a strange time.

Tamaki also meets someone she shouldn't be. (twice)

I don't either but what I was saying was that in following takuma's route they're completely eliminating romance points with other characters.

Yep. She's useless, as far as I can tell. When Tamaki asked for help she just insulted her instead. Way to go, grandma - thanks for your time.

OK, as a guy who has not played the game, but is enjoying the anime, can some of you ladies tell me why Ryou has so many fans? Is it something that he's going to do in future episodes? There must be something about him. I'm guessing he's a descendant of the Wolf, right? Oni, Raven, Snake, Fox. Hey wait... what's Shinji a descendant of? Maybe the Wolf is the true 5th guardian. Am I getting ahead of the story?

I wish Tamaki had stopped talking in front of Monado, that was stupid.

Mitsuru actually surprised me when she blushed, she still likes Shinji.

I hate Kiyono, useless character that looks stupid.

New guy appeared and he is rude, I like that.

In the end, pretty much nothing happened AGAIN but I got used to it.

Grandma continues to be pretty useless, dont understand why she cant just teach Tamaki to realize her potential. It did lead to a nice funny scene with Tamaki that I laughed at, concentrating to focus. Otherwise no action but cool episode with more funny interactions with everyone and ultimately that nice scene with Mahiro and Takuma.

chill episode, but a new bishounen to look at... :) Ryou looks yummmm.

I too don't mind how the romance is kinda thicker when it comes to Takuma... I know it lessens her romantic stuff with the "other guys" but mehhh.... I enjoy just looking at them.

Nice to see she has SOME BALLS/potential when she stands up to the blonde bia.

Enjoying this and it makes me want to play the game. ^^

lol dinner time, and Tamaki finally know why the helper girl is awkward around kouhai guardian.

The enemy girl is also sacred? and sings?

Everyone's tired.

The more I see that Fiona-sensei, the more I feel like she's one of the enemies.

That annoying classmate is thinking that they are in relations.

the "Mysterious guy" finally appeared.

The enemy says they are releasing the thing for more use instead of sealing it, and Tamaki bravely refused her offer. Two of the guardians heard it and support her.

And there's someone who is watching at two sides fight.

Preview guy is the kouhai guardian this time.

yes! i was hoping for takuma to be the one to end up with tamaki

and some more personal things going on between shinji ans mitsuru O.o
cant wait to see more on them

also cant wait to see more of ryou, looks very interesting

i still dont get the cryptic metaphor at the end of each episode where each of the guardians just talks to the camera, can someone fill me in? :/

This is some kind of fanservice for female viewers.
I'm glad they added this.

But aren't they out of guardians? If they use Ryou next episode... then what?

good point. they may not use ryou at ALL considering he's a supporting character. But maybe they'll make the characters say something else like 'Do you love me?' or something like that.

IMO this episode was much less boring than the previous eps. Which is a nice change from the last episodes garbage.

I am satisfied for now. Things better pick up from here.

The grand mother is so expressive, i like how she has so many emotions.
So the bad guys aren't even looking for world domination, and want the world to just end.
that's some of the stuff i've learned from the first 2 minutes of this episode. i like the song more than it so far, so i'm listening to it again.

Can I just ask one critical question? It is of the utmost importance.

.................................................Is Suguru Ōmi aware that there is a very large chunk of hair right smack in the middle of his face?

The guy who's always eating crunchy biscuits is also annoying af.
