| Well, this was propably the best episode yet. Still feels rushed though. Also, i just noticed that Haruka is actually cute, isn't she? But i wonder why she looks so different from novel/manga version of her... |

Yami-chii said: ....and throw him on the ground at the same time for pushing Haruka. Though she is still a little irritating, pushing her hard enough to make her fall is just too much. And I want to hug Yakumo now. ;w; This episode was surprisingly good. Just hope it gets better on the suspense. The OST is amazing for sure. The doctor is most probably lying about Yakumo's past. He seems to be affiliated with the silver haired villain. KeiranShikari said: The only arc they didn't include is the one with Show still showing lots of potential which is good, also a few of the best chapters from the manga have still not been touched upon. |

| Poor Yakumo being almost killed by his mother. Be careful, Haruka! |
 |
| Tch I thought the doctor was familiar the minute I laid my eyes on him. Poor Haruka seems ill-fated. She's constantly attracting all sorts of trouble. |
| The second phase of Key sounds bad lol, it's like they were messing around with whatever auto-tune they may be using for Ono Daisuke's voice, or maybe that's his actual voice this time? Anyway the episode was alright, it's actually beginning to look kinda interesting tho I can't believe I didn't recognize the doctor till later. |
 |
| Another solid episode, oddly I didn't even realize twenty minutes had passed, the episode flew by even though a decent amount happened. Loved the last few minutes, it was a bit touching and horrific. I hope we find out in the series whether Yakumo's mother was possessed or truly wanted to kill him (not an invitation for spoilers.) Unlike previous episodes this doesn't wrap the case up in one episode (although it's not like a lot was devoted to it this ep, so that's not to say there was a ton of build up.) Still, it's got my interest. And I can't wait for the bad guy to make his move, he sounds like he's up to something fun. |
| LOL at Gotou and his sidekick... :D The ep was good.. Poor Yakumo.. Unwanted child :( |
| Yakumo x Haruka XD this episode's pacing was better [slower] that said I CANT WAIT 1 WEEK FOR THE NEXT EPISoDE!!!! XD |
 |
| Ah, they're finally allowing more time for plot development, i hope the next episode doesn't disappoint! The characters are becoming much more interesting as well. |
| Yakumo X Haruka XD |
| How old is Yakumo ? his mom disappeared 20 years ago and he looked 5-6 minimum when she was strangling him so he is 24-25 years old. what is his major ? :) Other than that nice episode |
| That was a pretty good episode. Nice pacing etc. I never thought Yakumo mother was trying to kill him when he was a kid. |
MidnightReverie said: I don't know if you were reading different subs than he and I were, but the ones I read also said "she has been missing for more than 20 years now." Yakumo doesn't seem much older than 20, so it would make more since if you're right and it's actually 10 years. I'm confused by the age thing now, too.nesfe said: How old is Yakumo ? his mom disappeared 20 years ago and he looked 5-6 minimum when she was strangling him so he is 24-25 years old. what is his major ? :) Other than that nice episode lol subs He's 21 (Haruka too). His mom disappeared more than 10 years ago. The doctor didn't adopt Yakumo, but he delivered Yakumo at his birth. Also, Gotou got transferred to a different division, not fired. :P Anyways, nice episode - definitely better than the last one. Even though everything that's happened thus far has been utterly predictable, I still like this show. The story is average, but the animation (or art, rather?) is a style that I like. The music is also fitting, and the voicing for all the characters just seems so perfect to me. Despite the average story, I'm enjoying Shinrei Tantei Yakumo a lot. It's really too bad that the show is only 13 episodes. I also imagine that's the reason for the pacing everyone's upset about. Edit: By the way, Midnight, your avatar is awesome! |

MidnightReverie said: lol subs IKR, the subs I watched were really poor =S At first I though Haruka was a bit annoying, now I'm starting to find her more adorable. Good it be....that I'm starting to like a HETERO COUPLE?!? Woah! What is the world coming to?! |

| Poor Yakumo...sad past is sad....still, the prick didn't have to push Haruka that hard And also, Haruka is starting to look cute Yakumo x Haruka go go! |
 |
| It was quite good. I was kinda distracted (painting my nails) lol so it seemed quite ok to me. Oh and as we can see, the story starts to take it's turn.. i bet in near future they will go through some hardships and other stuff, so maybe the show get's better in climax :) |
 |
| I think I got an eye for the new guy Ishii, but please Yakumo don't label the guy! He just admire him. So these two got a little close and the anime start getting better. |
| Better pacing--- better mystery--better all around. I am enjoying the development between Yakumo and Haruka.. :D I am enjoying this series. |
  |
| Yakumo thought my adorable Ishii is gay xDD Whatever, this was such a nice episode to see. I really like this series |
| I hope nothing bad happens to Haruka. |
| Who does Yakumo remind you of when he does this? XP |

| Great episode. Yakumo is finally showing some true character. at least compared to how he used to be. Hopefully next week’s episode will be just as good, if not better. |

XP But you know, I wanna Light Yagami had a pose like that as well. I just can't remember for sure since it's been a while since I watched Death Note. |
|
| "Hai guise, my name is Haruka! I'm probably the most useless and brainless character the history of anime has ever seen! You see, I've been treated like a piece of shit by this guy called Yakumo. But I want to help him overcome his emoness, and maybe he'll be nice to me in the end! Yay!" |
 |
| Ok episode, thought haruka was posed after what she saw and fell in sea.... But she didn't.. |
     |
| Holy God, Haruka is so annoying, I like her but sometimes... C'mon, she's in love with Yakumo, so fast? Don't believe you! But, this is getting better and better! Waiting for the next one~ |
| Heeeee YakumoxHaruka. Oh yess. |
 |
| Poor Yakumo... and now they're targeting Haruka as well... This show just keeps getting more and more interesting. |
| So they finally pick up the pace, i thought it's gonna be boring till the end Overall i'm disappointed with this adaptation |
 |
| awwwe yakumo unwanted such a tragity >.> |
 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. |
| Haruka ... you're annoying, GTFO please. Yakumo's right ... your PERSONALITY just BUGS ME D< *ahem* Apart from that, good episode ;O Poor Yakumo ... >_< Except ... I'm not a big fan of typical tragic pasts lols :P |
Jacut said: Too bad the production values are dropping fast because the story catch up in this episode and the direction was finally OK thanks to a better pacing and direction. The main characters (including Gotou) are very enjoyable too. Quite right this episode was a lot better than the first three but the production values do seem quite low. On the point, does that evil double red eye guy plans to use Haruka's body for soul experiments? Btw i have a thought. What are the possibilities of that guy being Yakumo's father? |
| Haruka is annoying, and what was all that talk about wanting to know his deeper feelings when earlier they were talking about how she only shows up if she needs something. The pacing is still horrible, I just felt annoyed. Yakumo's past seems really dark and interesting; the only thing that kept me from dropping this. |
 |
| I can't believe it. This episode was actually mediocre instead of absolutely terrible! |
|
| Haruka annoys me. She's behaving like most of girls in anime. I wonder who is that two-red-eyed guy to Yakumo. |
| Finally... a story about that necklace! I was wondering why he keeps staring at it in previous episodes The best part is when Haruka is being targetted! XD |
mingling with each other are the flames of red and blue |
| The music is so powerful. So much emotion in the music they play in this Anime, I just love it! :( |
 |
| Kinda boring. The only good thing was getting a glimpse into his past. |
| Some nice development and interesting backstory on Yakumo, I do wonder if they plan to develop the relation of both of them further in the series. Either way good start as it seems the case is still unsolved! Lets see what's next! The ending was rather sweet though although interesting what will happen next and who exactly those two are. |
 |
| So, we get to know a bit more about Yakumo. Anyone could guess it was something traumatic, though. Ishii is actually the first character I find a bit interesting and I hope to see more of in future episodes. Also, the emotional points in this series is terrible. I can't seem to get attached to the characters at all, and the scenes are poorly executed. |
 |
| why is the episodes rushing a lot where the cases are solved way to fast :/ but actually it doesn't matter as long as i'm interested between haruka and yakuma xD at least the girl is not annoying! |
| Nice music at the end,Yakumo's past is sad... |
| sad episode. his mother really tried to kill him wow. |
 |
| Hmmm...I'm liking this series so far, I hope it's good till the end :D |
| Still liking all the episodes so far and i rlly love yakumo, je is in my fav list now. Good development and a sad background.. Haruka is being a target now so i expect some events happening the next ep |
