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.

It's Lelouch! I knew I'd seen that pose before! o.O http://www.animeportal.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lelouch-lamperouge-01.jpg

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.

A step in the right direction. The first three episodes were extremely dull, it's good to see some story progression instead of the show just failing to be cryptic as id did in previous episodes. The mystery here is much better, and though there are still tired cliches being used, it is actually a decent episode.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.

"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!"

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.

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

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.

Haruka just became that annoying everyone is good trope that I hate.

His mom tried to KILL Yakumo. He was going to throw away the necklace and you stop him and all you can say is that she was him mom so don't throw it away.

I say again his mom tried to KILL Yakumo.

So they at least stopped with the bad one episode skeleton arcs.
This episode was better than the previous one at least but still not that good.
(And the end scene felt super forced with them meeting the right doctor who remembered it after 20 years and Haruka overhearing the conversation and all that when they wanted to go talk about a murder case).

I can't tell if I should be annoyed by the increasing amount of coincidences that keep piling up in this show. I mean, it just so happened to be the doctor who was there when Yakumo's mother gave birth, and that the event with Haruka happened so she would be there to hear about Yakumo's tragic past... okay then.

Aside from the above, I think I'd be frightened too. Children, especially babies, are scary. No wonder Yakumo's mother wanted to kill him. Joking aside, Whitey McGhee probably had a part to play in all of this. Or maybe Whitey McGhee is his father? That would be hilarious.

An okay episode, I guess, although that soundtrack at the end was really desperate. It wanted me to feel something, but nope, I gave it nothing.

Wow, compared to the last 2 episodes, this one was great. Now I know who that villain is and what he wants. The last few episodes should be amazing.

I'm kind of disappointed in Yakumo, lol. He said his mother was kind to him until that one day, so even if at birth she lost control, there should be an explanation why she did what she did. Honestly, I wanted Gotou to be the one talking to Yakumo at the end, not Haruka. She still feels like a forced character and that's also what makes her annoying.

Also I really liked the jokes between those 2 guys. It makes me laugh every time.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Haruka has to be the world's least careful person. She knows there's a serial killer targetting schoolgirls her age, knows that ghosts exist, knows said ghosts are capable of malevolent possession, and knows she has no way of dealing with them on her own — yet she decides to go alone to visit the scene of the crime and walk closer to a distressed ghost, to the point of actually falling into the river. She wasn't possessed when she fell into the river either, so I'm chalking it up to terrible spatial awareness. No wonder the two assholes think she'd be a fitting vessel for Kinoshita's daughter to possess, with how unguarded she is.
