| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I liked this episode. Pretty clever way to deepen the mystery of the underlying plot of the entire series. Especially the untold part of his fortune of what lies ahead with him and Himawari. |

| Thank God they did this ep early on, or it would of gotten confusing later on |
 92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% who still listens to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. |
| Absolutely loved this episode ^___^ But I'm quite surprised that Yuuko never gets drunk xD |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Real fortunetellers rock. |
 |
| Fun episode where we get a bit of backstory. Mokana continues to rock. |
| My anime list |
| i've actually heard of that fake fortunetelling, its called "cold reading"; anyways that fortune telling was pretty (the real one), and i didn't know that about the butterfly being a symbol like that |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Yuuko sure drinks a lot in this episode :P The fake fortuneteller is kinda smart, I wish I can read people like that.. |
| so the fake fortune teller uses her powers of deduction to foretell, heh thats sortof nice. though real fortune telling is way more awesome. |
| Yeh nothing matches real Fortune-Telling... Indeed you can make your own prediction of the persons you know... and Yuuko is quite right.... Fortune-telling ain't an easy thing... It has lots of implications... and well... Hard to tell... But life is difficult to predict... And again Yuuko is right.... You can know or get something if you don't pay back with the same amount... It always happens in every job and profession... Man these people are full of wisdom... I love Yuuko... that's actually she's my number one character! xD Himawari and Doumeki... Watanuki's fortune about them is true... Man I already wanna see the outcome of this story!! Signs, Green |

| wow...nice episode the show getting more and more interesting. That Fortune-Telling thing kind of scared me tho ;however, thats what makes this anime good. :D |
 Hmm.... |
| I enjoyed this episode, the psychic was interesting, I liked how Yuuko pointed out the flaws in the fake. Best episode so far, I think. They keep getting better. Although I'm still not a fan of the art, it's got a good story-line so I'm definitely not going to drop this anime. |
     |
| Yuuko is hot xD i liked this episode since we got more information about Watanuki's past :3 |
 |
| This just keeps getting better, this was a great episode |

| I can honestly say that everything in this episode could be broken down into a realistic portrayal of a real life situation. That meaning, everything in this episode could be relatively real. Some psychics ask questions to acquire statements that are logical no matter which way you look at it. Nothing beats a real psychic, though! Looking forward to the next! |
| I actually really disliked the art at the beginning of this episode... The weird style stood out like a sore thumb - which is weird considering how I didn't mind it before but all of a sudden it was more noticeable. ._.'' Aside from that minor point, I loved the episode. I wonder why the real fortune-teller moved from the spot that Yuuko initially stopped at? I'd be very hard-pressed to believe that the fake put the real psychic out of business. I also thought that Yuuko was pretty justified in her critique of the fake fortune teller, based on what she said about the "responsibilities" of those who can tell fortunes... Anyway, still really liking this series. And still curious to see where exactly it will go. :) |
| Really good so far. Can see this a possible future favourite ^_^ |
 |
| Decent episode, but the story development is taking its time! |
 |
| I really liked this episode |
| Good episode! |

| Loved it :) Yuuko was so sweet when she saw the old lady. :3 |
 |
| I was rolling my eyes over that fake fortuneteller's predictions XD! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Yuuko was looking good in that hairstyle. I enjoyed the episode. |
 |
| Did anyone else notice the Mokona's reflection in the spoon? It turned upside down on the convex side instead of the concave one, which is where a reflection should appear upside down. I suppose if it's because Mokona is a supernatural being. |
 |
| Awwh, the old lady was so sweet :') I hope they revisit what happened to his parents later on in the anime |
| she did reading for Watanuki but it draw Yuukos signature, u know what this means (it is a huge clue), he replaces Yuuko when she retires |

| Because the main character is so annoying it's hard to watch episodes consecutively. This could've been so much better. |
 |
| Quite a good episode on astrology. Some parts of the episode were quite fun. Wonder what Yuko meant when the fortune teller in the location changed. But I was able to tell that the first fortune teller was merely speculating like other fortune tellers. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| In this episode I felt more the presence of the supernatural and the atmosphere oozed with mystery, even the psychological component was very evident. I also see a background message: all professions need seriousness, especially those in which you have to give suggestions to people. So in theory you should be wary of fortune tellers and storytellers, especially those who want to make believe that everything we want is possible. The character of Yuuko comes out even more strengthened in his figure, while Watanuki is still prey to a limbo, in which his figure is still anonymous despite knowing a little better than his past. Fun and friendly storytelling at certain times, the vision of the episode is once again pleasant. |
 |
| I LOVED this episode! We finally have the character introductions out of the way and can finally deepen the relationships and interactions. I did really like the weirdness and monsters of the last episode but this one I have really loved how much yuko not only messes with the boy but also deeply cares for him and wants to make sure he learns the mystical arts despite him kicking and screaming. The real fortune teller was so sweet. Want to visit her! |
StardustReverie said: Yuuko with her hair like that is perfect. It got me thinking, is it possible to have your hair like that in real life? I doubt it, but it'd be kinda neat. I was thinking that myself! It WAS a weird 'do! I am captivated by her wardrobe. I want it. |

| What’s that prickling instrument they were using in the song? I like it. It played during the final scene and during the fortune teller scene |
   |
| I can definitely see this anime becoming my favorite in the future |
| Mokano's smirk was fucking priceless. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| great cautionary tale about fortune-tellers! right at the core demographic of this anime, too! |
| Better than the previous one, I guess? We were able to learn more about Watanuki and the old lady is really sweet and legit. Also love the background music in the scenes. |

| Fortune telling? What we can actually do with the information they gave to us? |
| This was really cool how they should the difference between a fraud and the genuine article. cute old lady. I wonder about the nature of this "metamorphosis" that he's going through. |
