| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Kind of a quiet episode.. I guess again that's this show's style though. I don't really understand the relevance of the first half's 8 minute discussion on mind readers and frauds and whatnot though. BTW, the old man wasn't a witness to one of the cases, he just knew about the box maker they were discussing. Also the civilians in the beginning were claiming they saw the ghost of a boy it seems. At any rate, I am hoping some things start to tie together in the next few episodes though. |

Mind readers and fraud seems it might be ways the Mouryuu used to get his victims??? The ghost of boy..............maybe that ghost might provide supernatural clues! |

| More exposition, but still nothing to tie any of this together. Boring. |
| Wow, that's very risky of the creators to make an episode solely based on a single discussion between 3 characters, but that was so intense I can only praise them. A giant info dump, but still very entertaining, especially the end. Made me think of the legendary "Chat! Chat! Chat!" episode of GITS SAC ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I almost died from information overload, and not from boredom, which says something, I think. I mean, very few series can execute such storytelling the way this series did. Usually too much of complicated information has a very high chance of shutting down the viewer's mind, isn't it? This series is seriously good, and I can't wait to see how everything goes (even though I have watched up till episode 11 already. XD) |
| To much info, to much random story telling, so much zzZZzzzZZzz. |

But in any case, a decent episode. I hope they start tying things together soon, though I can kind of see where they're going with this. And it annoys me that nobody is subbing this aside from Aero... who're releasing it oh so slowly. |

I'm downloading 11 right now, can't find 12 or 13 even though they've already aired. |

| Oh wow, that was boring. Also, possessed by boxes? lolwut 2/5 |
 |

| My brain is gonna explode from this amount of information. I really had a hard time following the subtitles, though the conversation also pulled me in~ It was great~ |
 |
| So, the box maker is being worshiped as a "false prophet," but he is also the grandson of one of the clairvoyant women in the previous episode...? Hmm. It appears everything will have a significance, just have to wait patiently for it to be revealed. The lazy neko is my favorite character, I think. :3 |
 |
| I seriously think it's impossible to really grasp this story without drawing some sort of flowchart or character tree or timeline of events. -.-'' I may have to watch this series again when I finish it if I don't understand it - that is, if I deem it worthy of a rewatch. |
 |
| One of the most boring episodes i've ever seen. But need to complete this anime and only cool OP and ED help me with this quest ^_^ |
| Very dialogue heavy episode, but we get more exposition. The box-maker is also a cult leader (might have to do with the murders) and a grandson of one of the medium women who commited suicide some years ago. I wonder where it's all going. |

| Boring episode |
 |
| This was the most monotonous anime episode I've ever seen. |
| Pretty boring, but the way the story goes, i think its ok. I'm sure it'll get more interesting in the next ones. :) |

are-kusu said: Christ, I love this anime. I don't mind the dialogue either... I mean, if you went through Katanagatari you would probably be used to these long conversations. Katanagatari did a WAY better job of keeping people engaged in the story, keeping them entertained. Even though it was just 3 characters talking about their findings it was still interesting to find out about the box maker, what he went through etc. I really want some solid answers soon though, there's only so many episodes they can do with overloading the viewers with so much information. |
 |
| Watching this is so exhausting, cause you have to stay focussed for pretty much every second. But that's fun in it's own way. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This is exhausting to watch. |
| IIRC, Onbako-sama is the one who investigated the Mouryou in Yoriko's house back in episode three. This episode is connected to that scene set in the Meiji era about studying clairvoyant powers. A Mouryou was released from that box by Onbako-sama? I guess we'll soon find out how this is connected to the serial murder and dismemberment of girls and the abduction case. |
