Both of them got works, and Shino got to teach kids, but they don't trust him, except for a blind girl, who requested to read Blue Bird. About not memory about her parents because she got abandoned when birth.

Kaei/Curry man lol~ but the soul of the owner was the one Shino met?

And about the meanings of names. Interesting that learning that would deepening the relations among those kids.

What? Sousuke is cold and that shadow is warm?? Meeting that shadow again next ep.

Decent episode as always. It was nice to hear NiizumaMurasame. Also nice to see Flower of EvilMeg. I had kinda missed them. The other Sousuke showed up at the end. Curious to see next episode.

Nice episode overall. The buns look yummy. I'm craving for one atm.

LOL. Shino calling for a police for help but the next scene showed Genpachi whom Shino considered as pervert as well. Next episode looks interesting. Excited about Ao meeting Shino again.

I second that! Niizuma's bringing his Crow love to Hakkendden! :D

I thought the episode would turn out to be just for character development, and even though, Kaho is so adorable!!! She made me love this episode! Pretty sad that good Sousuke's hands are cold whereas bad Sousuke's hands are the warm ones O.O

It makes me wonder why is 'Ao' warm and Sousuke cold? Did he take something away from him? Plus I thought 'Ao' took away Sousuke's bead . . . or is it my memory playing tricks on me?

Hmmm at the end I laughed xD Shino calling for the police, Genpachi, go save your crush! Though I'd prefer it if Satomi saved him. I still want to know about the connection between those two. . .

Also I had a bad feeling that 'Ao' might hurt Kaho, but I'm kinda glad he didn't.

I was wondering why Sousuke could turn into a dog, could it be because that's not his real body? Shadow Sousuke might be the real one though, that would be something.

Wow, those eyes looks almost lifeless..


I think Kaho-chan is cute though.

The story was okay..although I wasn't into it much. Oh and did Shino just name his food? WTF lol. It's nice to know that Kaho's name has a meaning though. I mean, that's something to take notice of. Overall, I felt episode was calm and had a sense of innocence to it.

Kaho was adorable ^^ but in the end Shino didn't really teach much to the other children. It was fun to see Shino interact with other kids though. But the part with the boss of the steamed buns shop was quite touching ;_; Kaho probably sensed something was weird when the boss went to visit Shino. And lol at Shino's names for the steamed buns. He has such a great taste. Also, The Blue Bird story had a nice moral. Oh and hey there Ao.

Yeah I was about to start yelling at the screen because I thought he was going to do something to her.

Definite improvement all-around.
Then again this season one started at the beginning and beginnings take a little while to get going.


I can't remember what the other Sousuke's deal is, he's a shadow and half of the Sousuke right?
So it makes sense that one is cold and the other is not.
Hmmm I should rewatch those last few episodes to refresh my memory.

Man I'm with you guys, I was about to lose my shit when Ao asked her if she was blind and it showed a close up of her eyes..hopefully that isn't foreshadowing anything. I really like Kaho already, and I think Atsushi more than likes her lol.

Surely the "one thing Sou wishes for" has to do with Ao being the one with the warmth. The numbness to pain was also a pretty big hint. How much does Sousuke actually feel? And if Ao is the one that can feel, I sense some tragic developments coming up..

Oh just another episode that has made me hungry, nothing new there. But it did turn out to be a nice substory in there. :) And I'm a little glad Shino slapped that boy but they were able to turn things around and be nice as a group. I was a little afraid for Kaho but glad to see that was fine as well.

Like everyone, I also almost lost my shit when Ao appeared in front of Kaho together with that ost. But the ost became "happier".. so I guess Ao can also be nice and show a smile some times.

Shino seems to be lolicon mangnet.

Kawaii Kaho, man I wish Shino wooped those kids assess for walking out on him.

Dead steamed bun owner asking Shino for some steam bun advice, looks like if Shino wants to he can open up his own steam bun business.

Well he wouldn't exactly take her eyes because she is blind, that it would only inconvenience him, right? Though I did feel some tension so I kinda expected him to offer her a week of being able to see in exchange for something but I guess he didn't.

Nice episode, a bit slow paced but in a good way. Seems like Shino keeps attracting supernatural stuff to him like ghosts. Also I'm very interested in Sousuke's wish, is it "becoming one" again with the other half of his soul or staying besides Shino's side? Or something entirely different?
I'm also curious how much pain he can feel, when he was stabbed in the shoulder he clearly was in pain but he could touch the fire without much of a problem... And what does it mean his hands are cold while Ao's hands are warm?...

Adorable episode, Kaho is so cute and Shino is so kind to her.

When Ao showed up at the end of the episode in front of Kaho with that ominous music I was so scared that something bad might happen to her but thankfully nothing happened and he managed to actually look kind without an undertone of threat.

What interested me most about this episode was the fact that Sousuke is "cold" and Ao is "warm" and that makes me wonder which one is the true"Sousuke".

Kaho is so cute, she just gives off this feeling that makes me just want to protect her.

I really like the side story with the bun shop, the old man was looking out for his family even after death and wanted the business to be successful for their sake.

It was interesting when Kaho ran into Ao. Although he's probably up to no good, he doesn't seem bad or a villain. I also thought it was interesting when Kaho said that Sousuke's hand felt cold, yet Ao's felt warm.

It was hard for me to get into Hakkenden initially, but I'm starting to really appreciate and enjoy the slow and slice of life pace. At this rate I can easily see it being in my top 5 this summer.
