Kana must be an airhead to come up with that kind of conclusion.


well, he looks totally different, he was wearing different clothing, and acts totally different.. I don't think coming to the conclusion that they are in fact the same person would make any sense at all from Kana's perspective at this point. If you think about it, her conclusion, as tough of a blow that it is to poor rikuo, makes total sense at this point.

They removed the slow-talking sponsor lady again D:
And... The fuck? They couldn't come up with a more ridiculous design for the "purple mirror"? (No, don't remember it's youkai name, and I don't feel like searching through the episode again to find it.)
Lastly, oblivious Kana is oblivious. Oh lawdy, stop that please. =3=
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Saying he just looks different is an understatement considering they are even physically different. Night Rikuo is nearly two heads taller than Day Rikuo, has smaller different coloured eyes, different coloured longer hair and a deeper voice. There is no way she would easily just come to the conclusion they are the same person. This is not some stupid Clark Kent disguise where all he needs are some bloody glasses. I may not think much of Kana, but this is a case of identity misunderstanding I can agree with since it actually has some solid reasoning behind it.

This show is great and all but...why does it have such a boring character like Kana? Her only function is to faint, do stupid things and be a useless damsel in distress. She adds nothing to the story. Even in this Kana-centric episode, all the other characters were twice as interesting as her. Even those that got 2 seconds screentime.

Nice episode, even in the manga that mirror felt a little more menacing, but eh. It felt like there were a few sexual innuendos in this episode, and of course Kana is clueless.

This is where the story picks up, which is nice and Nura develops even more.

She's the Youhime to Rikou's grandfather, Nurarihyon; she's the Wakana to Rikou's father, Rihan ..basically, she's the girl that can't do anything, except be Rikou's love interest XD

Manga spoiler:


If you read the manga, you'll notice some pretty interesting things regarding where Nurarihyon and Rikou took their "love interests" on their "first date."

Well, you'll see some kana, but she probably won't have any developement before the end of this act.

Between RikuoXKana suck, vote RikuoXYura now.

Anyway I finaly watched this episode and here what I think: MEH.
The mirror monster was not scary in the manga, but it didn't had such a stupid look, let's say he was a bit more menacing.
The art in the anime is so so when one of the thing that make this manga awesome is the art. They somehow made Kana less interesting (And I seriously wonder how they did it). They gave a tsundere an unfitting shy voice and the animation is so so as well.

Probably a lack of budget which is sad, Nurarihyon should have goten way more because it's awesome :(.

Simple: they removed some funny faces she made and removed many monologues from her. In other words, they removed all the stuff that made her interesting.

I've already read the manga and still is a fan of the art of the anime, of course the manga has it's own beauty, but the anime made it more splendid, it's different when colored and moving rather than static, and i like the changes they made.

As far as art goes, both anime and manga have good points IMO. Manga is a bit more cartoony and is inspired to some extent by ancient Japanese art while anime art is more colorful and more fitting for an anime (for just animated manga art would probably more often look weird then not).

then don't watch it dandere-chan, if it bothers you so much make an anime of it yourself cause some of us are enjoying what studio DEEN is giving it.

Not a bad episode. Mirror demon was pathetic. Rikuo just cut him down in a second.

Hmmm... Kana blushed but seemed ok with the idea of going into a room with night Rikuo and to the staff she thought he was gonna do. You little dirty girl you..

Nayrael said:
I'm not sure if Setsura is her mom though..
but it goes like this I think..
Tsurara = cute
Setsura = hot


We are talking about Snow-women here so Setsura is COLD -_-


Paradoxes, women are good at them. She's cold but she's hot at the same time.
Is something similar on how they can be cute and annoying at the same time also.


So we have new bad guys huh? Hope they prove more of a challenge than the mirror guy.

I hate Kana, she exactly the type of character I despise the most...
air-headed, clueless, too sweet and has tendency to cling on the hottest guy in the series. Only thing that she can do is being harassed by "big scary" demons and waiting with teary eyes for help, I hope in the future will be not scenes like this ... Really even Yura is far more better than her T_T...Well it's a famous cliché that almost in every shonen story is this type of annoying character -__-...

This episode somehow impressed me, since episode 1-9 I was totally WHAT THE...

I felt the goosebumps (during the mirror moments) even though it wasn't considered as a horror/thriller genre

This ones annoys me, Kana: no..since I'm with you, I'm not scared

and since the subs went wrong @17mins onwards (I have a reason to skip it lil' by lil')
