Wow! I didn't expect things to go this direction. Even without comedy this episode was very good.

The the details in the scenes inside of the house reminded me of the scenes in the Count's mansion in Tsukuyomi Moonphase.

I can't wait until the first R2 DVD arrives in July to start to watch this series again!

I don't care what Yayoi says, Kanako still seems like a bitch. At least she has a nice voice going for her. And people can connect with more than one person eh? I wonder how that plays out.

Mmmmm things are getting really interesting.
I still love Yayoi, even though she didn't read a book that day.
I can't help but like Kanako's character too...

The series kept its feel even without the usual heavy comedy, and I like that.

I liked the fact that the detective was the boy from the past, an amazing way to put things together.

Definitely looking forward the next episodes, whatever they might lead to.

Good episode, didn't expect Yayoi and Kanako to have known Arashi. But I like how the episode turned out and oh boy, now Hajime connected with Yayoi...

lol @ the end story by Kaya.

Its going to be interesting in how this all turns out in the last three episodes.

Incredible episode once again with awesomely original direction, great ideas and write up, and a badass Hajime this time. Natsu no Arashi is definitely my second best anime of the season, no doubt.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Great episode. I like how the anime is taking a more serious direction towards the end. Really smooth animation and it looks great.

Awesome. I've been waiting for the Kanako/Yayoi story; too bad it has to end on a cliffhanger like that. This show seems to get better as it goes along.

I just don't know. As always, the direction is phenomenal, but I've always wanted this show to step it all up and deliver, and I guess my expectations are just too high. I found it pretty cliche that Kanako is supposed to actually be nice, and that Yayoi isn't really crippled.

This show could be great but it's just not pushing through for me. Yet.

Not really what I was expecting but that is a good thing because this episode really surprised me. It was a nice change on direction IMO but even so it was still a bit cliche... but even so that isn't too bad for this kind of show.

I liked it, the direction completely changed in this episode. Can't say i liked it as much as the other episodes but still good. The darker feeling is interesting and will be interesting to see what happens in the next episode.

The bit at the end was pretty funny :p, good to have a little bit of comedy amongst the seriousness.

Lets see what happens in the next episode ^^

Awesome, how everything is connected. With a little luck this show will keep and deserve a 9/10 from me (or maybe even more..?).

I couldn't care less about the lesbo couple, but i must say that this "Ark" (Unfunny stupid pun somehow intended) is pretty much interesting.
Its most deffinitly clichê, but somehow, fresh.

I find very interesting how things are presented to us.
I mean, in no moment i felt like the story was rushed.
So far that is.

so it was a traumatic experience that she cant walk, cause it the first episode i remember she was standing up or maybe it wasn't her? and i knew that was the reason she didn't want to get touch so they are the same type of ghosts. great episode! and this show took a strange turn(but a good one at that)

oh and i also thought that ost when hajime was explaining to Hideo that they where ghost had to hear it a couple times :D

So Kanako trying to kill Arashi just to save themselves? Such selfish indeed.
You are willing to kill bystander so you can live?
I don't care how their past make them what they are, but such reason is just mess up.
I thought I would not hate any character in this anime, but Kanako is one of the character I can't stand.
Now back to the nice part and not full of hate, Hajime now connect with Yayoi.

I love how everything is connected. It's simple, but how the narrative is told feels fresh which is pretty cool.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
