| Some pleasant parts but overall a weak episode. I couldn't muster up much interest in the old man's situation and when the culprit was revealed like Alex I couldn't help thinking of Scooby Doo. I wouldn't say it's a bad episode but it is pretty much forgettable except the end which sounds quite promising. |
| Is it just me or does this seem sort of lifeless so far, I'm sure it'll pick up at some point but for now it has been lacking something essential and i can't quite figure out what that something is. |
   It won't give up it wants me dead god damn this noise inside my head |
| I found this episode a little boring, and, like the first, it seemed really rushed to me. I feel like the episodes really aren't giving me enough time to care or become curious about what's happening before they launch into explaining everything (or at least their watered-down version of 'everything'.) Plus, I didn't really understand how the granddaughter of the 'Spirit of the Week' ended up going to Yakumo for assistance..I think at the end Yakumo said something about her finding her grandmother's diary, going to the shrine & seeing a ghost. He also says that she tasked him with investigating, but how did she end up going to Yakumo specifically for assistance? I'm assuming his gift isn't well known, & he didn't say that he knew her or anything, so I'm just a little unsure how that came about... I did enjoy Yakumo's uncle, (though he didn't really look the way I thought he would.) I think the situation with the red-eyed mystery guy probably has me the most curious, but then he's only shown for a few moments each episode. I wish I knew more about him & what the heck his purpose/objective is in the story. Also as kind of a side note, I have to say I'm kinda disappointed Yakumo is always sleeping on his couch. I liked how he slept in a sleeping bag & was compared to a caterpillar in the manga. ;P I mean, I understand that the anime can't (and even arguably shouldn't) completely follow the manga, but I wish the show kept in more little details like this that I enjoyed--especially since I see no benefit in removing them...*sigh* Still, I'm cautiously looking forward to the next episode. I just hope it doesn't fall as flat as these last two episodes did for me. emerald_city said: Ono Daisuke <3 ^_^-♥ |

ShadowAlex said: a bit more on the Scooby-Doo style of mystery rather than the horror/mystery, I still suspect the plot will thicken. The episodes do not seem to build any suspense so far.... I really hope it improves. |
 |
| The mystery aspect of this episode seemed somewhat forced. It felt even more rushed than the first episode. However, i did enjoy meeting the family this early on, as well as the soundtrack. The next episode seems to be more exciting. Hopefully this series will begin to pick up :] |
| Oh god they have a retarded girl in this show...will continue to watch for the humor involving her. |
| Ok™ |
| Some decent parts but otherwise really dull. I hope they make things more interesting next episode. |
 |
| Good episode but the first one was much better.Also when I watch this I get the feeling I watch Ghost Hunt..They are quite similar.. |
 |
| I think (and I hope) it will get better. I'm curious about that thing with the other man who has a red eye too. |
| agree first episdoe was better andt the OST is really good. |
 |
| good ep, but episode 1 was much better anyways, this still is a series worth watching :D dem blood-red eyes! |
 |
| Nice episode. :D |
OnyxEyes3 said: This. I could (barely) live with the first episode being severely rushed as it was still interesting, but this episode was both rushed and boring... 2/5 for the episode.I found this episode a little boring, and, like the first, it seemed really rushed to me. I feel like the episodes really aren't giving me enough time to care or become curious about what's happening before they launch into explaining everything (or at least their watered-down version of 'everything'.) |
| eh, i was hoping more horror/bloodbath and less lovey-dovey. oh well, overall it's still nice just got the wrong expectations. |
 |
| As mentioned the first ep was by far more interesting. |
| it was ok 3/5... |
 |
| Better episode, at least there's a bit of backstory and some devellopment on Yakumo and his relative instead of a straightforward ownage like in the previous one. Still nothing spectacular though. |
iciclepop said: ono daisuke is the reason i'm still watching. haha. He is the only reason I've started watching it (^^,) |
 |
| Good. Nothing really happens but the only thing I know is that Haruka starts to like Yakumo in this ep :3 |
| This epsiode screams "FAST PACED" everywhere. Also, the little girl kind of creeped me with her "AM I KAWAII UGU~~~~" Key-like face. I was like "god damn just say this girl is possessed already!". Nevertheless, an OK episode. As someone said on another page, very Scooby-Doo like. |
| At first I was like ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ. But then I was like ┐(￣ー￣)┌. |
| This was less rushed than episode 1, thank God. I liked this episode, DaiDai is love and Yakumo is very lovable. |
 |
| Not a really good episode, it was boring and I can't seem to like the characters. I still wait though if the story moves a bit more later~ |
 |
| A decent episode. There's something about that little girl that gives me the feeling that she's possessed. |

| wtf, disappointed with this ep ._. |
| This ep is neither good nor bad.. The next ep seems interesting.. |
| This second episode was a bit rushed and not really well developped compared to the first one. We clearly saw its Bee Train ascent there, especially the scenes involving the mysterious enemy organization. It was a small letdown but I'll definitely watch the rest of the series anyway. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| So boring. Was like a filler. |

| this is lacking something.. ;S suddenly an old guy comes to the place where she works and cry cry .. bla bla .. woman .. cry cry .. reunited.. lala .. happy chalala.. >.> |
 |
| I get such a sense of deja-vu from this show. I've seen it all before, and certainly done better. |
| I also thought the first episode was better. |
 |
sayami said: Yup, same here. Usually, a tsundere hot guy would be enough for me to like a character, but this is just... blah.I can't seem to like the characters. |
| OLD MEN. but yeah, agreeing with everybody else -- this episode was dull. i actually found the pilot pretty interesting but it just went downhill after this episode. hopefully they'll show /legit/ plot soon. :[ |

Teufel said: Lmao, my brother said the same thing about this episode being like Scooby Doo! XDSome pleasant parts but overall a weak episode. I couldn't muster up much interest in the old man's situation and when the culprit was revealed like Alex I couldn't help thinking of Scooby Doo. I wouldn't say it's a bad episode but it is pretty much forgettable except the end which sounds quite promising. So far the show seems average, but it's a lot better than all the harem and ecchi options I've been given this fall. :( |

| Edit: Sorry about double post. I have no idea why it posted it twice... >:( |
|
| Maybe seeing spirits can alienate someone, but does Yakumo have to act like an asshole half the time! Annoying love drama. |
| Good episode... the first one was better & more intriguing though... I wanna know more about the side-story they keep showing... sound pretty intriguing. I like this show and it's overall tone. |
  |
| ... This episode felt waay too Scooby Doo-ish ... The OST is awesome <3. |
| The show feels really weak. I hope it gets better |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I still love how Yakumo looks so pimpy in every shot. |
 |
| What do we learn in this episode: chick likes dude, despite the fact that he has demonstrated no personality as of yet. Who saw that curve ball coming... This show is playing it so safe that there's really not a single standout feature that I can think of about it. Episode pacing still sucks and I hate the condescendingly obvious way in which the antagonists are presented("Look at meeeee I am eeeeeviiil!"). I'm not inclined to watch anymore of this. The concept has been done before and it doesn't seem that there is anything special about this particular iteration. On the other hand there isn't much that obviously bad about the show aside from the awful pacing and boring characters. It's just there, eliciting no particular emotional reaction. It's disappointing, really. I was hoping this would be one more beacon in an otherwise rubbish season. |

| I'm not bored, but not exactly on the edge of my seat either. This show needs to be a bit more risky and throw itself out there. It looks like it'll turn into something really generic. Should be able to judge from the next episode whether it'll pick up. No point waiting through like with Occult Acdemy which gave me the same sort of feeling. |
