| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Change the past?? More visiting the memory with mother soul. lol @ the confession by the mother. Nice talking over. Wow, the teacher as Goddess. Creepy way to get out of Sasami-san's body... Introducing new enemies... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| It's attack of the rock fiend. HNGGGG that kawaii face:  Lmao @ the memories of the mother's youth. Ya, one minute: >I love you! Next mintue: BOOM. Well, I'm still enjoying the series somewhat. That new girl named Jou seemed strange enough. Dat pigtails. What a strange girl and I'm damn curious on what sort of role she'll play later on in the series. |
 |
| Despite the inconsistent time traveling to convince tsurugi to take back her role as 'God', the silly experiences of Sasami's mother in the past was the highlight of the ep for me. |

I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I'm so lost about the plot or where the anime is trying to work towards >.< Besides that it was a nice episode but did Sasami lose the power for real this time? And just what is her brother/father? I really hope they'll explain things in the last few episodes because I'm dying to finally get some answers |
| that was some bad juJu |
| I really like the designs of the two new characters. |
 |
| aww i loved how she was hiding her happiness and taping back together the drawing her daughter made her. but it was still mean how she tore it in front of her. SHe could of folded it and put it away...idk. So i'm wondering, in the end, they did change the past?? Since her mother came out of her in the present. So she must be there, alive. Jou didn't feel any god power from sasami, and Sasami did say that her mother should hold on to the power until she is ready. So sasami's mother is there alive, with the god's power. Cool ep. And the new character is interesting. And her familiar or whatever was the spirit that tried to change the past in the first place. Mumble200 said: NEW CHARACTERS, didn't expect that. I really like Sasami's mother now, she's somewhat more hopeless than Sasami. Time for me to say it again, seriously underrated show that everyone dropped too soon. I know, even I almost dropped it because it was too damn random and weird and the brother is just ugh. Anyways I am glad I didn't. And I would like for all those that dropped it at ep 1 to check out 2 and 3, give it a second chance. And yes, the mother is actually very cute. |

Same here, also who's Sasami's father? isn't it the guy who was "tied up" and the one whom sasami's mother confessed to. Also her brother. :/ igh. In one of the earlier episodes, when they went to destroy the shrine, she said "papa" to that guy, so I guess that's him? lol. |

In one of the earlier episodes, when they went to destroy the shrine, she said "papa" to that guy, so I guess that's him? lol. Current information suggests that Sasami's father is Tuskiyomi Ruza, who was introduced in episode 4 trying to recapture Sasami. Although with the confusing family tree of the Tsukiyomi shrine, take that with a grain of salt. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but reading the credits, Tamamo-no-Mae is voiced by Hidaka Rina and Edogawa Jou is voiced by Numakura Manami. Isn't the guy that was tied up, Ruza? lol |

| Seriously. Why is it Ranked #3613 ? Because people don't understand it? |
| Love the new girl singing the ending song.. she's so off-key! Haha.. |
| FFFUUUU loli sasami. she gonna get taken home. so cute watching her mom be so hard on her but being so caring for her on the inside as seen this ep is so touching. loving this series more and more. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Dat animation <33333333333333 . I loved this ep . |

Sairyuu69 said: Seriously. Why is it Ranked #3613 ? Because people don't understand it? It appears to me that people don't understand the mythology, and as such, find it confusing and rate it low, which is a real shame. |
| "Our everyday lives may, in fact, be a series of miracles." - Nichijou |
| The mythology just pays to see the metaphores (are there really any? I hope it's not the same as 'christianity metaphores' like in NGE which Hideaki commented that have no real meaning). Gotta admit that EP9 was pretty symbolic. Also, those EDs - how to make something terrible on purpose, I love it. How come it's so underrated? Still cannot understand. |
| So Sasami and her mother made up and her mother will control the godly power for the time being till Sasami can handle it. Meanwhile the leader of the group that attacked Sasami shows up and tells something about her plot to take over Sasami's power. Should be nice. |
| Can't get enough of this show. Really liked the depth this episode gave Sasami's mother, Sasami herself, and also Tsurugi. Evil Student Council President and nine-tailed fox girl look like trouble... Final stretch of the show and I'm bummed. Would have loved this to be 26 eps. I'll keep saying this - this is currently the most underrated show I know on MAL by far (#2 is Gunslinger Girl, but even that is scored quite higher than this). It kinda makes me question MAL scores in general. What other shows out there rated 6.80 are actually phenomenal but get low ratings for whatever reason? |
 |
| MAL fags like fast, plot-holed stuff - look at SAO. Abstractions and ideas are often too hard to digest, still it interests me how kinda hard Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu gets 9 average - maybe them biased fags didn't give score? |
| I gotta say that ever since Sasami's mom appeared the show got kinda dull and I don't really care about as much anymore. I'd be pointless to drop it now though, I'm still curious to see what the conclusion would bring us. |

| Oh yes, I've gotta agree that we're kinda missing the wicked-sick mood of the first EPs. Oh well. |
RediceRyan said: I really like the designs of the two new characters. |
| I find the author is pretty smart - here it does not just solve the cause of Sasami getting obese and the switch of body in an alternative past of Sasami, but also develops further the theme of the mother-daughter relationship between Sasami and her mother and the theme of "regret" about the past. And yet it still has not lost sight of the "Ganbaranai" (not working hard enough) theme, first for Sasami, and then for Tsurugi, and on a meta-level, it hints at the contemporary youngsters who have locked themselves in and not bothering to see the world versus the older generation who believes in working themselves to death and put on the same expectation on the younger generation. Also it is good to see Sasami's mother came back from the netherworld to get things back together with Sasami and the Yagami sister. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I love reunions. |
| This episode was epic, the was everything unraveled was really clever. Definitely good writing right here. Jou doesn't seem too bad, I guess she's just so bored that she decided to troll around by taking over the world. x) I can't wait for more of this, the story is just so well done. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Her mother so easily swallow Sasami's Gambaranai ideology makes me feel 0_0" |
| The mom was cute in this episode ovo <3 |
 |
| That new girl is going to make things interesting |
| After these two episodes my opinion on Juju has changed completely. She's actually really nice and cute haha. And she's back now right? With her coming outta Sasami's body and Sasami supposedly losing her power (which she wanted her mom to hold on for a while longer). Loved how beautiful Tsurugi looked when she was in her divine form. |
 |
| So Sasami's mom is a huge freakin' tsundere even towards her daughter. Anyway, bondage dad in the beginning I can't omg |
| Correct me if I'm wrong but.. Didn't Sasami's dad (or Ruza) called her mom "nee-san" during the flash back/traveling back in time part? Does that mean Sasami is going to end up with her brother too..? |
 |

  |
| It was a nice episode for me, but I think that in this anime genres there should be "dementia" or some other mind blowing terms. And where is romance here??? Sasami and her brother relations - is this romance? o_0 Also like 2 new girls: ojou-sama and nine-tailed fox as servant! Hope they will be in show for the end. |
| wow Sasami brother saw threw Jou right away |
After I Crush Your Dreams...... Your Bones Will Follow...... |
| That was really a good episode, mostly explains why she was fat all the sudden :p The new character in the end was pretty cute and interesting! Lets see what they'll do in the next 3 episodes! |
 |
| Wierd girly-demon at the end but whole previous part of this ep in the past was great. |
| HILARIOUS... too damn funny !!! The touching and dramatic past with occasional jokes just made me burst out laughing. Samami's mum's confession hahahaha... also that ending song. My goodness the key is way off. XD |
| This Anime is full of ugly girls. |
 |
| Now I like Juju!! Thanks to this episode. Juju incest confession was hilarious and she has cute side when she fixed Sasami drawing. Sasami terrible weight was explained. New villain appears!! I like Fox girl design. When Jou sang the ED, she sang passionately that was beyond funny XD 3.4/5 |
 |
| I must say: man, I never expected Juju to be so endearing this episode. Nor did I expect Tsurugi to clean up nicely during the sky scene. |
