Yeah, I think Eiko should start reflecting about her hobby and interests, at least related to horror. Every time she gets associated with them, her life is put into danger.

Not too much different between this episode and some of the others though. Eiko's personality is still very much alive and her personality is vibrant.

More often than not, it's Eiko who gives me the creeps rather than the spirits.

In the old F Tunnel, though they captured a spirit, Keitaro was weakened. Eiko, trembling in fear, lost sight of herself. In that state, Eiko took Yayoi to the burial mound of Taira no Masakado. Yayoi felt a resonance with Eiko's true feelings as they talked there.

The vengeful spirits seriously messed up with their response to Yayoi's query. Anna, in particular, really crossed a line with her stunt. I can only imagine how much harsher things will be for her now that she's in Eiko's experimental clutches, compared to what Yayoi would have done. Speaking of which, seeing Eiko genuinely scared initially made me consider that she might not be as unhinged or perilous, but she swiftly proved me wrong not long after.

Let's ghost into our newly bought graduate house!

This means "illusion lucid river" btw

An episode focused on Eiko!
Taira no Masakado and Abe no Seimei are real people btw. They are figures in Japanese folklore too.
Eyyy here's our good ol' Eiko experimenting with Anna's spirit. Looking forward to see what'll happen to her.
Wtf that house gotta be one of the creepiest things so far

Guess we won't see Keitaro for some time. He really needs that rest.

Is redundant but, Yayoi herself have the early shounen anime quality, been doing crazy things(ghost hunting) for years, and the legal guardian didn't even know until recently.

Now, Taira no Masakado, got weaker because of time or not much to eat?

Ghost are now Z warrior detecting each other Ki.

A truel looks interesting.

Eiko giving idea for places with housing crisis.

I really like Eiko the most in here. Keitaro is a nice guy still, but Eiko is just interesting. I definitely felt her insecurity about just how much does she like scary stuff. but this episode was relatively calm. Glad to see the blonde girl back! she was lovely. I hope she will join the gang soon. The ending was promising. I am sure the next episode is gonna be really scary.
- yes I am average but how is that an excuse? -

Eiko got some issues, dude. Split personality? Like, at first she's cowering and scared, and then she's messing with spirits with a creepy personality. Definitely some kind of psychosis related to trauma.

This was probably my least favorite episode yet. I really dislike recap episodes, but at least that was only the first half of the episode. In the second half though, seeing Eiko doing her thing built some serious suspense.

It’s nice to get a more of a chill episode after the insanity of the arc that just ended lol, I liked the focus on Eiko here too. Up to this point she’s been into the scary stuff but for the first time she felt like she was truly in danger and wasn’t so into it anymore, and I really liked the moment where she decided to keep hanging with Yayoi and Keitaro on their ghost hunts, it wouldn’t be the same without Eiko after all. And damn, here I thought Eiko would be good to Anna but no, she went a bit yandere there with the staying friends forever thing, not sure why I expected otherwise lol.

And we also saw the return of Ai, nice to see her again since it’s been a while, but now the weird god has its eyes set on the super ghost that took Yayoi’s mom, and I’m thinking that’s not a good thing lol. And lastly, Eiko hatched the great idea to buy a cheap abandoned house to put the graduates in, Yayoi was all for it of course but the residence sounds pretty damn spooky based on the story the owner told, but of course that’s not gonna stop Yayoi lol, it actually enticed her most likely.

And this means the last episode of October that’s closest to the spookiest day of the year is gonna be a spooky one, really looking forward to it!

Eiko is the problem. I have a feeling she will die and be the deciding factor to help or destroy the team. She is way too careless and naive.

Just when I thought eiko was becoming your normal female mc she does a complete 180 back to her normal self. But that’s why I like her so much.

I swear eiko and yayoi’s catchphrase is so cringey but also kinda cute.

Eiko really had one of those "Watch out what you wish for moments". But hey, most people have those with their fetishes. You eventually realize that some of the stuff you think are great, might just be too much for you or maybe, that you did not understand what you actually liked about it in your fantasies.

An episode in which Eiko was (finally) given development, nice.

I still think Eiko is terrifying, I don't know why._.

It seems like they're going to have to fight several spirits in the next episode, I'm looking forward to it xd.
Likewise, the god they made the bet with is going to get together with the ghostly fetus or something? 0_o

Yeah there's no hope for Eiko, she's just batshit crazy, and I don't know if her "friend" Anna will have it worse than before or not with the experimenting.

We briefly saw Ai with her stalker god, and Keitaro getting some much needed rest. Hopefully Eiko and Yayoi will be ok checking out that creepy house but I do fear for them, Eiko in particular since the seller mentioned a previous female tenant getting pregnant and then dying after giving birth...

Welp, totally knew Eiko would "make full use" of Anna but HOT DAMN using her as an infinite regenerating proxy? What a sadistic befitting punishment.

Btw didn't expect the previous killer spirit to be Graduate-tier. I mean, it totally got its ass easily destroyed by the unkillable soldier lol

Well this is more of a breather episode compared to the last few we had and it definitely works to get some of our characters priorities in order especially Eiko’s

I figured she would regain her resolve again but it’s neat seeing her shocked at how dangerous things have gone and realising that she needs to start pulling her weight instead of being a designated driver for the two.

It’s great to see the characters having their convictions and learning that Yayoi enjoys it too (not suprised if I’m honest) but wow Eiko’s experiment sounds brutal, although a part of me is kind of happy that yandere Eiko is back even if it means putting her new friend through some trouble, but whatever helps the team I guess.

It's nice that they took a bit time off and looked back on things and gathered their thoughts together. Ofc Eiko won't just quit. As Yayoi mentioned it's in their blood lol. I wonder if they have a special lineage or something, would make sense why Yayoi's mother got kidnapped as well. Good to see young Eiko from high school, she looked cute with short hair too. Anyway time for another haunted spot which they wanna make their graduate house lmao. This one sounded really creepy with how a woman gave birth after going there.

Was kind of weird seeing Eiko actually act normal and somewhat convincingly PTSD like but then suddenly act back to her normal so quickly. Though with her personality I guess it makes some sense that she would try to move past things quickly to keep the connection of moments like that with Keitaro but i feel this could have been done better.

Never heard of property tax Yayoi and Eiko? You indeed can buy very cheap if not entirely free homes in Japan but they arent in actuality.

That actually is a clever idea Eiko had about using slime but id question if the box itself would become part of it because the slime cant hold form without it so it is inseporately linked. Also i didnt see her add any body part of her own or Yayoi or Keitaro into it just Anna.

I thought this was just going to be a filler episode, but it turned out to be quite a lot more than that.

The first half was spent with Eiko trying to figure out if all the scary stuff was something she wanted to be involved with, she doubled down on it...

Eiko suggests buying an abandoned house for the graduate dorm, they arrive and it's a pretty spooky place with a terrible history. Given the preview too, looks terrifying.

I do wonder if they will be able to cleanse the house, hopefully they will be able to.

According to manga readers the next episode is going to be the most disturbing one which considering the proxy Anna and the state she is in right now that doesn't surprise me too much.
When a pancake lover does something: "Outrageous vicious crime"

When a waffle lover does something: "That means it is not illegal"
