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. |

Suprisingly - I liked the soundtrack ;) Ono Daisuke <3 ono daisuke is the reason i'm still watching. haha. you've got a point there! xD well it's not that bad... i think the atmosphere in the manga was better though. the music is GREAT and although this episode was a bit cheesy, overall it was nice and quite enjoyable! :) Btw if the tunel episode is the one i think it is from the manga, then they'd better do it right. It was my fav from what i recall. 4/5 |

| Episode 02 was a bit underwhelming. The case was a pretty weak one which could have been better if there was a little more buildup with some twists and turns, kinda what I would expect from a mystery. But it wasn’t all that bad, I liked how they introduced us to Yakumo’s life (living in a club room should be tough yet perky at the same time.) and relatives. The cute little girl and the incredibly suspicious uncle definitely picked my curiosity. Overall - 3.8/5 |
| I don't know why but it seems so... boring. No suspense, nothing really, actually. Again, it wasn't bad. But it wasn't good either. |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |
| Oh god, that was terrible. |
 |
| Don't let your hopes up.. as far as I can see they've put a battle or magic style here + the villain. So this will end up that way with a touch of mystery if you want to feel the suspense part I suggest to still I score this 3/10.. I've tried to watched this with lights off but geez.. wth.. compare to the manga reading it with lights on still gives me the creeps |

| This anime needs more horror and mystery and less of the personal drama stuff, where at the end someone reconciles with a spirit and we get a happy ending, etc. It also should speed the pace up a little bit and proceed with the interesting bits, right now it's pretty dull and boring. The characters are pretty nice though, Yakumo is badass. |
 |
| Still interesting. I see this episode as mainly background development. I'm looking forward to some cool stuff happening later. |
| Beautiful. Loving the pace. Yakumo is very adorable, too. I hope the people that don't like it hurry up and drop it =] |

| I think episode 1 was better, but I still like it and plan on continuing. That only thing that pisses me off is Haruku. She's completely useless and unnecessary after the 1st episode. I hate female characters that wedge themselves in and don't really do anything. Even if she has one or two purposes in the future, her uselessness here really annoys me. Is it just me that thinks that these little "romance" factors are stupid additions to some anime. |
astronomical said: Is it just me that thinks that these little "romance" factors are stupid additions to some anime. It was actually quiet well done in the manga, imho.. (note: i'm talking about the old version of the manga here.. i don't like the new one much..) But somehow the anime adaption is kinda a failure till now.. Haruka with brown hair is better, too.. :s This episode was just.. boring! It was just some kind of filler for me.. I really do hope it will only get better from now on.. but I doubt it.. |

I agree with you so much we could be the same person XD Anyways, interesting episode ... even though not much happened. Ending part got me interested for the next one though ... hurry up and introduce the side characters! :P |
| So far so good in my opinion... I want to know who the silver haired man is, I have he may be Yakumo's father... |

OnyxEyes3 said: 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'.) This describes my feelings perfectly. Before it even gives you a mystery the mystery ends. There is something rely wrong with the way they are doing it. I hope that the main plot with those evil guys will turn things around. |
| So Haruka is now going to spent more time with Yakumo. Oh noees. I love what he said to her when she came to him and he was sleeping: your face damaged my beautiful dream. |
| Seems like Yakumo has been talking about Haruka to his uncle, no? kittygoesmad said: So Haruka is now going to spent more time with Yakumo. Oh noees.

| I like graphic, seiyuu and soundtrack , but I'm still disapointed.. thought it will be more like manga ( I mean this completed one),so for now I won't continue it . I wonder if I won't read manga before , that I would enjoy this.. |
| Sorry for my English ^^' If you notice any mistakes, please tell me about it ^^ Thanks for corrections ^^ |
| Its alot like ghost hunter but despite this i like it alot |

| I just started watching this series yesterday. The first episode had me thinking that this was going to be a really interesting anime so I kept watching. After episode 2 though Im not too sure and I'm holding on too hope with episode 3. Given that Yakuma is suppose to be a genius I still think the mystery of this story was solved rather quickly. Of course we don't want it to go on for too long but this was just eh..And the one part where they figured out who it was at the construction site kind of reminded me of Scooby Doo..lol. Yakumo calls out what was going on and the culprit just stepped out and "it was me". I was actually waiting for..and I would have pulled it off if it wasn't for that meddling boy. All in all though I'm still rather enjoying it and have high hopes. I just hope my hopes aren't crushed as I think this anime has alot of potential. Love the music as well as others have mentioned. |
         |
| Yeah this Anime reminds me of Ghost Hunt but more likable characters in my opinion. The soundtracks are also badass! >:D |
 |
| Boring case but it's interesting to see that girl developing feelings for Yakumo. |
| Damn another epic episode they really bring great emotional factors up at the end! The story and pace of the episode's development is also very amazing, I really starting to love this anime! I do wonder what those endings are and what's up vessels for that mans daughters ghost? Well lets find out next! |
 |
| I'm still not feeling it. The main characters are very stereotypical and predictable, and there isn't anything unique, leading me to categorize it as amateur writing. It also seems like Haruka is already developing feelings for Yakumo? That's way to rushed and not classy at all. |
 |
| Another good episode... |
| nice op this anime got' btw this is scary to watch in night,especially when u hear those Scary Laugh ... |
 |
| Second episode and she already has feelings for him! Wow. And lol, what's up with the Indian music towards the end. Creepy. |

| Guess im one of the few who did enjoy it. Ok first ep was better but i still felt like continueing and wasnt bored. Cant wait for the next ep. Yakumo might be tsundere? Thatd be great |
 |
| This one was still good, not as tension filled but still solid. |
 |
| Nice episode, but not a very good follow up from the great episode 1 |
 |
| I have rarely seen a "mystery explained" rushed as much as there. You litteraly have the lamps exploding and the metal piece flying and then 10 seconds later, Yakumo appears and explains what actually happened. And then the one behind it instantly pop out of the building. This segment almost felt like a parody of a detective story. |
 |
| Yeah, Haruka, you go get him. Got the feeling this show isn't about the mystery and more about the spirits themselves, which truth be told, I don't mind. Tho, I do wonder why the horror tag applies to this show... As for the ep, it was just another quick and easy rushed mystery, if ya can call it that. |
 |
| Wasn't as interesting as the first episode, I hope there's a big plot behind all this instead of episodic stories. At least we got to know a bit about Yakumo's family and that he does have a family. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| The focus here around a relationship that just never seemed to get off the ground was neat, but I would've liked to see a scene of Yakumo actually scoping out the area so he could discover what the real source of the "paranormal phenomena" was. |
