I really like the fact that there is comedy here and there, it removes some of the tension when it's most needed. As for the action, it was done pretty well imo, just like before. I'm rly curious how this will turn out later on.

So far Rokuro seems like an "all brawn and no brain" type of character, probably as a foil to Benio, but is it going to continue like that, or is he going to show some intellect later on?

You'll find out soon.


That's... obvious. If I watch it, then I obviously will find out. But I asked the question because I'm curious now. The answer to that question might influence my decision on whether I want to keep watching the anime or not. I don't like the archetype of a stupid hero that is all muscle and no brain. I find it boring, especially when it's used as a foil for another, intelligent character that is in tun more fragile. Especially when the male is the stupid one and the female the smart one. It's seriously cliched.

But your answer makes me think that there's a chance he will show some intellect, otherwise you probably wouldn't have bothered responding.

Is it just me, or did the animation drop quite a bit? I remember that Benio "smashed" the spells onto her body the first time she did it, and it looked really cool. Now it just molds on, and looks really lame in comparison. And the proportioning at some points is DBS all over again.

Even though 90% of this episode was anime original I still enjoyed it

The characterization on Mayura was nice and I like how they decided to take this time to really flesh out she and Rokuro's relationship more

Other than that, the fight scenes with Benio were great and I really like that little interaction that she and Rokuro had at the end....I still hate that fox though

Going by the PV, the big thing with Ryougo is gonna happen in the next episode so I'm looking forward to that....Also, dat Shinmon cameo....I hope that these changes won't get troublesome in the future

I found this episode to be kind of boring. The action with Benio was all right but I didn't care for the amusement park stuff. And as others have mentioned, the fox is so annoying. I don't mind characters like him, but when it's the type of servant/familiar that's super overprotective and worships the shit out of their master to the point where it's trying to force others to do the same, that's when it's just unbearable.

Also, why are people saying this show is 4 cour? I clearly see 12 episodes planned. Unless it's split cour with the total episode count adding up to that of a 4 cour?

Making Mayura relevant is killing me! Now I love her and Benio...oh well.

It was weird how they noticed the creature breaking into the real world and then brushing it off. I figured Benio would have said something more about Rokuro being more scratched up but whatever.

Is it just me or Shimon Ikaruga kinda looks like Yoh Asakura?

As for Mayura - eh, it is pretty standart battle shonen (or it least it looks like it so far). You might as well ship Rokuro with his own hand. It doesn't really matter.

I don't understand why they are doing so much anime original material with this series. Reading the manga, I can actually take it a lot more seriously than the anime. The anime almost makes me hate the series and think of it as some sort of joke. I mean each chapter of the manga is like 50 pages so why not pull an Owari no Seraph and just adapt almost exactly only adding in anime original material to expand on some parts? I feel like I might wind up dropping the anime and just read the rest of the manga at this rate.
Don't believe the hype.

MyAnimeList is made by user contribution, so if there's no official confirmation, it may be wrong.
It is marked as 12 since there's already 3 blu-ray planned, with the first one containing 4 episodes. Maybe they will add more after some time, who knows?

Gotta have the fox for all the little kids watching.

Was one of the 12 guardians a teddy bear?

How does that guy hear anything with headphones on?

Why are all the streets and parks completely devoid of people, is this some super secret thing or are they just too cheap to draw them?

Shark teeth? Why not!

1. It's a hat
2. It's a mystery; he wears them into battle as well rofl
3. budget probably
4. It's for aesthetic and maybe an actual plot reason in the future

Anime adaptations come in certain ways in which usually comes down to these: “True to their source” or “Doing something totally different”. Sadly, Sousei no Onmyouji is the latter one with a lot of random variables in it.

After the first episode the director made me ask myself “Why did I like this series?”. The reason lies within the difference of the anime and manga.

Firstly, Kinako.
The Fox spirit/familiar Kinako. It is really protective of his master in a way that is really annoying. But let me tell you the fox isn’t even in the manga so I want to know what his added value is cause as it stands Kinako will only get less screen time or they need to do an original story which I doubt given the length of 13 episodes and content.

Secondly, small details missing aka removed content.
Yes, there is removed content from the manga and new content for the anime. But it’s the small details from the manga that are removed. Example 1: “If Rokurou stopped being an Exorcist, why does he have a talisman?”. That is answered by Jii-saman in the same event. Example 2: while it was noticeable in episode 1 where the Impurity is afraid of Rokurou before his transformation, in the manga it was after the transformation.

Lastly, episode 3
After a few minutes in the episode it all original content. In the manga before Benio left the room, the 2 started a fight and Benio won by putting Rokurou in all kinds of wrestling techniques. I would have loved to see that! Also reusing animations and rollercoaster physics.

As you may have noticed the main fault lies within me loving the manga series so much I am really discouraged by the anime. It’s like they say: The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Let’s see how it will perform until the end of May.

it was an enjoyable character build episode. it wasn't that amazing but still. it showed some nice action scenes. tho i am not sold on that Mystic art head shot with every named attack. that's gets annoying quite fast.

But talking about annoying. Lets talk anime elusive characters added with no role other than be a cute mascot and just annoys the viewer. That fox is just there to tell us how amazing Benio is. it's just a bother. why would they even add a stupid thing like that...

It would have been either that or the old lady that was with Benio. The fox has only replaced her role (except he's a bit more annoying because of his voice) and the only difference is that it can detect where impurities appear.

Btw, why is everybody so happy that two children are forced to marry and fuck?
