It's sort of funny to me......this person summed up the episode as well as I could have written. 6/10

Feels like the MC was a little inconsistent this episode. For him to just immediately go begging for help and stating he's scared feels like a huge jump from previous episodes. I suppose it's justifiable with all the given past story, but it's a big leap nonetheless. I'm thinking they just had to brute force the relationship along.

In the actual fight they barely made the situation dire enough for Benio to be there. Yes they showed him getting swarmed, but 99% of the time that's when we see the hero buried under a mountain of baddies and then, BOOM!, they all go flying.

Still a fairly good show. Will keep watching. Head Exorcist still needs a few teeth knocked out for whole testing thing in ep2 though. Still kinda pisses me off.

I'm still in love with this series, glad to see Rokuro is starting to face his fears more now for the sake of protecting his friends/family.

As much as I had hoped that they would stick to the content with a few minor changes would be acceptable it seems its already the 4th episode and they're trying to cram what they can for character development by rushing the show.

They've adapted only 3.5 chapters so far mate. Nothing's being rushed here.

Yeah but if you read above this shimon guy next week doesn't get introduced until chapter 17 if only 4 chapters are adapted either they are re arranging the materials or trying to cram in two arcs or more story than they can handle next week can really make or break the show.

I guess if the director really is rearranging the series it's really ruining it for manga readers who have read ahead which is why I'm pausing the manga until the anime is over cus I don't want to ruin the anime cus so far I had read up to chapter 6 but the anime keeps leaving a bad taste in my mouth and I can see I'm not the only one although for a one cour it does seem to make sense to indroduce characters early or not at all other wise you get a major character showing up last episode and everyone's left curious or wanting more that's why long running anime work best even 2 cour could pull it off

Weakest episode by far. One thing I did like about this episode was Benio coming to understand Rokuro and revealed that she respects him if even the littlest. Then it was ruined with them going back to their usual routine. I absolute hate that this happened here, especially because this is not a comedy. I guess childish banter is a part of their relationship, eh.

Even if the story is not mainly a comedy, it's still supposed to be somewhat a romcom among other genres; not to mention that Sukeno's previous work was a comedy....he probably didn't want to let go of adding in humor in this story because of that.

SO far this anime has been an average Shounen for me. Compare to the other few episodes this one was lacking in story, I did enjoy the story about Ryougo but it wasn't that great. I am soo happy that stupid pet didn't show its face this episode, I just want to punch it.

He mentioned it before in an interview that he wants to introduce the 12 heavenly commanders sooner then the manga. So the battle with Kamui, Seigen and all that stuff will happen after Simon's introduction is done next episode.

Soooo...is he planning on introducing the other commanders that we're unfamiliar with too? Or just Shimon and Seigen?? o-o

I'm pretty sure it's just Shimon and Seigen. They haven't shown the designs of the other commanders.

Not really sure how they're going to integrate Shimon this early in the story though.

I was going to mention this in my previous post so here it is.

Beginning--middle--end.
Completely ignored by the director. You don't have to be a literary genious to write a script but a good script needs to at least understand the basics. I really enjoy the manga and I want to enjoy the anime just as much and when it's just only 4 episodes in and for some scenes that are being butchered because of director's interference I can only hope that his direction is good for what he have to work with.

Scriptwriting isn't the job of a director and I don't see how his interference has butchered some scenes. I'd say it's quite the opposite and has improved some aspects of the story here such as improving Mayura's character by introducing her sooner and show her bond with Rokuro, making the relationship between Ryogo and Rokuro more impactful through the addition of anime original content and the subtle development between Benio and Rokuro by cutting some overreactions and unnatural dialogue.

Yes some addition are annoying like the fox but I just pretend it doesn't exist.

At the end of the day the director must accept the script that was given to him. Do i see some improvements? I can't say because its only 4 episodes but my own opinion is that they've changed a couple things that didn't need changing. I get that for a time frame and trying to wrap things up for 12 episodes there needs to be some changes but like i said previously I can only hope that this adaptation works.

There should be no reason at all why we should pretend that something doesn't exists when it clearly does. I'm looking at you fox spirit. I can't believe they sat around a table and came up with that idea.(I'm speculating though its probably what happened anyways)

Components for a good episode:
- Adapting the source material while expanding upon it, instead of diminishing it.
- Less talking, more fighting.
- Good interactions between characters.
- AND NO GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING FOX.

Seeing as how this episode actually did some of those things, I'd say this was a pretty good episode.
And yes, I meant that.

Haven't watched the episode yet but skimmed through it to see what was the same from the manga. It seems they adapted the rescue Ryougo arc pretty well for the most part (With a few added scenes) but next week they're introducing Shimon before even Kamui or Seigen!? Wow.

Now I'm convinced for sure we're getting more than 12 episodes. We haven't even done the "Basara" battle yet and we're already almost halfway through the supposed cour. According to the opening theme this should go up to at least the Yuto battle, and with the current pacing there is no way we're getting to that fight within 12 episodes (Even with re-arranged scenes and added content, there hasn't even been a full 5 chapters adapted).

;What can I say...At first, I thought that this was a generic anime too, but, after I went to the manga, bro, I love it!

So, give a chance to Sousei..u can read the manga (its better).
"[...]I have to admit I'm not a big anime fan. Most anime that makes it over here seems to be either about schoolgirls with supernatural powers who battle evil, or adolescent boys who - for some convoluted reason - wind up having to pilot big giant robots...although, today, you just need to put some boobs or harem and fantasy and it'll be 10/10."

This episode was a bit boring and it seems like it was shorter than the others.
Only liked the moments between Benio and Rokuro but that's all. I don't know if they intended to make us feel emotional with that vassal story but it didn't work on me. Seriously, if the show keeps going like this, I might drop it.

Lol no, it's going to get much better. Actually wait for the villains to be introduced and for a main plotline...I can tell you it get much better, that is if the anime follows the manga.

Sorry I was a bit late but well, never mind that. :)
Anyway, yes from the beginning of the episode (Episode 1) until here just got more interesting. Finally, I'm glad that at the nearly end that Rokuro has opened up his heart a bit for Benio. Although, Benio doesn't give much response but she did replied to him nicely. The fights are still great but I'm really hoping for more while for the relationship of Ryougo and Rokuro has been explained though, but not that much. So, the story needs to develop more than the previous one.

If this rest of the series is this good, I’m surprised it doesn’t get more recognition that it does. I heard that it kind of declines in overall quality halfway through, but I really hope that was just someone’s rare opinion and that it is actually really great through and through. Fingers crossed

I'm amazed that since it was the beginning none of these four episodes has been boring / uninteresting so far. I don't know if it's because I sympathized with Rokuro at first, or the plot itself that is holding me back, but I'm really enjoying it!

The action scenes that look very few make the animation more explored in its plot and not only focus on the fights, but also remember the development of each character.

Generic as fuck, I'm done.

I even checked out the final episode to see if it got ANY better, and nope, exactly what I expected.

This series has nothing interesting to grasp onto, plot, concept, or even theme-wise, and the characters are barely anything. They have two sides, if that, but absolutely no nuance or layers to them beyond that.

Honestly, the only hope I got out of it was at the end of episode 2, not because it was good or clever, but because I thought it showed a bit of self-awareness and would maybe do more with that and be something unique... but nope; this is more standard shonen. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest.

Not worth my time, even if it was 13 episodes, to say nothing about 50.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.
