The first reason is because he looks really disheveled and he's wearing a big heavy jacket on a summer's day.

The second reason is a spoiler.

It's nice that they showed that the Mekakushi Dan and Shintaro and Ene met in the mall. I thought they weren't going to show it at all :3 But anyway this episode is better than the first two and actually has more colors! Thank you for putting a little more color! The amount of color this time is enough for me.

Then there's the OP which changed a little bit again. And with that I conclude that perhaps the picture/scene changes that take place in the OP is done to tell the story/ies yet to be told or would not be told in the anime.

Lastly, I really don't get why they don't insert more KegePro songs longer =_= IMO it actually brings the feel to the story. The insert songs 'til now have been shorter than I expect them to be and gives me the dissatisfied look everytime.

Starting to understand this series more now. I love the tie-in to the first episode. I wonder what the brother's power is (if he has one). Liked the sequence when Kisaragi controlled her power and drew everyone's attention.

And, in the end, Shaft manages to tie the first three episodes together with a nice big bow.

The lesson for the children. Leave story telling to Shaft, they know what they are doing.

YES MARY! Seto/Mary making me a bit emotional. Kido's poses were great. Good episodes, better than the last 2, but I'm really excited for the next episode! Kagerou Days (Heat Haze Days) is one of my favorite songs of the entire series (and one of the most emotional) so it's going to be great.

To people not familiar with the series, if you're going to lookup Kagerou Days, know that this video PV is fanmade by Wannyanpuu so what you see in there isn't all that accurate. The official one is this made by SHIDU.

Fabulous episode. The first two were kind of confusing and even boring, but this episode really impressed me. Especially the events in the mall.

Marry is an instant dislike, but I like the rest of the group. That insert song was also very nice and set the action very nicely. Hopefully it will keep impressing me.

If I hadn't skimmed the manga I would have been so lost. I like this show a lot because of the characters, shaft, the action, the music, and so on but it's really all over the place and sort of hard to follow the plot. Also, many of the voices were not as I pictured, but maybe that's just me.
Okay episode, glad we're getting back to Kisaragi and Ene though

I havnt read the manga at all and I found this episode to be amazing. Shaft lives up to its name with the absract scenery. Also, this episode explained all the confusing moments from episode 1 and really did tie episode 1 and 2 together to make episode 3. But for those who didnt understand what happened, episode 2 happens before episode 1 in terms of timeline and then episode 1 ties into episode 3 with episode 2 with it. Cant wait for the next episode, heard good news about it.

I literally went "ohhhh shit yes" when I saw that Kagerou Days was the next episode. NOW the show can begin and I'm really looking forward to seeing SHAFT handles that mess. Though personally, as far-fetched as it is, I'm looking forward to Yuukei Yesterday, Moon-Viewing Recital, and Ayano's Theory of Happiness).

Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

I'm sure they'll adapt all 3 of the songs. Both Yuukei Yesterday and Ayano's Theory of Happiness very important to the story and they'll do Otsukimi Recital if they follow more of the manga's route too.

Yay new characters introduced, with their unique powers :D.

Felt like a continuation from the 1st episode, but out of pace for some reason. So far the characters are not bad so I'll get used to them. As typical for Shaft making their stuff really creative.

This episode was very cool... I'm falling in love with all the characters I didn't really care that much about when I originally listened to the songs/read the manga. It's so refreshing to see them animated, especially the action scene with Momo, Mary and Kido.

I am also loving what they do with Azami's story at the end of each episode. So cute, but so sad.

Episode 4 couldn't come any sooner... Kagerou Days!! I'm so anxious to watch the arc that started my addiction to this series.

THIS EPISODE IS AWESOME!!!! OMGOSHHH SUPERDUPER EXCITING! I WAS GASPING FOR AIR AT THE LAST SCENE, I love the direction and how the director choose to tell the story, and i'm sure the source material is also good. Well the art needs some improvement but knowing it's shaft i bet they will improve lots and lots of things for the BD

As someone who's not familiar with the source material, the introduction of every character with their own unique power is sooo interesting, and i love each one of the character's personality, so vibrant.
I tend to hate the icy cold character and i thought Kido will become one of those character, turns out she's pretty endearing, as far as i can see, her, Kano, and Kisaragi are my favorites.

Better than the last episode for sure.

I'm not familiar with the source material so I don't know how much SHAFT is sticking to it, but I get the feeling they're trying to get too creative with timeskips/ POV's. It works for some anime (Bacanno and Durarara come to mind) but I'm not sure that it's doing so for this one at this point in time. I hope i'm wrong and that the best is yet to come.

This episode is slightly better than the previous one, at least they didn't waste our time with the song and only put it as BGM. Besides that, there was more Mekakushi Dan interaction but apart from that, as far as I'm concerned, I still hate the art for everything but the characters and I hate how it constantly switches angles and constantly focuses on different things: it's super distracting.

I can only hope that Kagerou Days will be better...

Finally an episode that I can say it was interesting and worth the watch. Kano's one funny guy that's going to get smacked around a lot from the looks of it and Marry is cute, but too clumsy. Seto and Shintaro are my favorite characters at the moment.

A great episode, well above the bullshit that was the previous one, do not think a 20 minute presentation of Momo was necessary, but I liked the direction that, at least it seems that the script is not running well, I trust SHAFT and director, just do not know with 13 episodes in a cour will to really do a good advantage ...

It's about time they introduced the other characters/members of the Mekakushi Dan. The power of Momo is exactly the opposite of Kido. They are all extraordinary people after all.

So that's what happened with the hostage at the mall. Momo started first then Shintaro. Looks like it progressed starting with this episode. I wonder who's the girl in the train in the closing song.

I gotta say, they look cool with their hoods on.
