Good episode! Glad Hiromi finally came in, I think he's going to be a favourite of mine. Akihito with blood on his hands at the beginning was interesting, looking forward to the explanation of that as well as the explanation of who Kurayama killed.

Out of many anime airing during summer and fall, this anime is one of the few that is to my liking.

I really enjoy the process of a character overcoming his/her trauma, it makes a better plot than just some mindless dude who got extremely powerful and suddenly hooks up with some cute girls (like Strike the Blood). The plot is quite your typical hero and melancholy princess, but I feel that the way it progresses is quite nice, not too predictable and still maintains my interest. But still, it is not really that awesome, but who knows, may be just because of the ear-candy ED that keeps me with this anime.

5/5

Episode that maintains the characteristics KyoAni . In many in my country complain that the said company does not show , or twists and intriguing plot more engaging, or maybe a different type of narrative and interaction between the different characters . It could also fit me this new vision of KyoAni , but this one is not bad. After all their works are performed well both as designs , while being always the same, that as animations. Add to this, also the scenarios ! XD
Returning to the theme , an episode that puts a bit of a fight with pepper a little wacky , with a well thought and action part of a comic it does not even hurt. The comedy plays on which the anime is not very innovative , but still creates that bit of hilarity that puts a smile on their face! Plot that moves forward slowly , showing us a beautiful but Wheeled new characters . But still did not say much about the context !
Drawings and animations lovely, the fighting was done as it should .
As was done for the episode , while not deviating much from other productions KyoAni , I feel compelled to give a rating of 5 /5!

Great cliffhanger.

That fighting animation *o* I'll shit myself if KyoAni makes an impressive Anime, story wise. I'm not saying that their other works and this one is bad, it's just that I think they can do more. I am really enjoying this show though; I don't demand that much. I just enjoy it as it is.
Mirai is so cute!!! I like her voice actress too. Taneda, Risa <3
Hiromi is one chill dude, kinda creepy too.
Akihito's mom is hotttt~ I'm starting to like Mitsuki too.
I am pretty curious about their past.
I am really liking the opening and ending song.

I wanted to start this series much sooner than I did but for some reason I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea. I was however, very very wrong. Loved the animation of the first two episodes, and the premise is interesting as well, not at all what I thought I was going to get. Also it seems as though there are darker underlying elements that may rise to the surface soon. Great comedy and I got some vibes that there could be romance later on, but either way it would just be a nice added bonus, not a deal breaker.

Overall solid series through 2 episodes and has everything I'm looking for thus far. Hopefully it keeps up, and reveals itself to be a gem I stupidly ignored for a little too long, even if it was a recent series.

This ep started off great! That fight was so well done, and unique too. Finally something with tentacle-like structures doesn't immediately restrain any and every cute girl in close proximity to it... The bandages actually worked like bandages would (shocked!). And her blood sword thingy liquefying and reforming below her hands to block was just great. I'm loving the action in this so much!

So the adorable yet badass Mirai has a traumatic past? Such cliché, such moeness... Also, The comedy is fine for me. It somehow felt... forced for me, though.

Hiromi's seiyuu is the same as Makoto's, eh?

I CAN CLEARLY HEAR TATSUHISA'S VOICE.

My friend got my into this show indirectly and I have no regrets. This show is turning out to be better than I thought it would. The character development is slow so far, but its only been the second episode, so I'm holding my breath and waiting for me to get attached to these character.

The animation quality during the fighting is pretty good - also there are some scenes that are drawn with much effort put into the detail. The story itself progresses with each episode instead of losing itself in unnecessary side developments if you don't consider romance relationships as a part of it.

So overall experience is okay thus far.

I'll say it again, the visuals are STUNNING. Very close to what Ufotable does, and that's a very good thing.

The ending is amazing, both in visuals as music. I personally like it more than the OP.

Oh god, Akihiko's mother is nuts! jaja I mean, no matter how young she may be, she's got to be too old for doing stuff like that! jaja Oh god, the cringe was real. Poor Akihiko jaja.

Ok, this episode helped me to understand some things better about what are the youmas (The scene of humans valuing humans was great jaja) and informing us that there's a bounty system to monetize killing wild/feral youmas.

It may be weird but I sense a Kara no Kyoukai vibe in this anime, not a bad thing anyway.


PD: I add that the character development seem to be slow in here.

Holy shit, this anime keeps delivering HARD.
Such beautiful art, such incredible plot, and such stunning action scenes, damn
Mirai is soo cuteee.
Loved the comedy with Akihito's mother, that was hillarious *.*

Also, love all the concept around youmu's and Ikaishi's, thats really interesting.
Wonder where stuff's gonna go from here.

I think Hiromi and Ayaka are the characters I like best so far... well, Akihito too. The aloof types like Mitsuki don't appeal, and that forced cuteness of Mirai... hm. We'll see.

Akihito's mom was hilarious.

I wonder if the person Mirai killed was her sister.

Also 9 dollars for the Yomu Mirai fought seems a bit on the low side but then again, I dont know what Yomu they get compared to, there may have been Yomu's 100 times as strong that multiple Spirit Warriors had to take down at one point.
Speaking of, the hollow Shadow might be exactly one of those.

I liked that ribs touching guy that Aki was talking to haha xD

Mirai said humans don't appraise humans, but isn't that what job interviews do? :P maybe not to appraise our worth, per say, but sort of in the way that it tests to see if we're worth hiring :3

Fantastic battles animation, once again by KyoAni. A fabulous interaction and balanced execution between serious and comedical site of situations among them. A nice time too revealing some back stories among the MC. Oh, well, the mother of Aki really funny. And well, the dark tone at the cliffhanger as expected....

I see now... Mirai believed that all the youmu are bad/enemy, hence why she immediately stabbed MC in episode 1. Though, we are yet to see evil human-like youmu to justify her attack.

Moving on, MC has a cringy mom. I can imagine myself dying from cringe with that type of letter...

It was a funny surprise that Mirai earned only 1000 Yen from her first *cough*youmu*cough* kill. Since it was so aggressive, wasn't it supposed to be more valuable? I say Mirai got scammed hard!

So, Mirai has a PTSD. She's a murderer! But then again this makes 0 sense. She had hard time stabbing a disgusting Youmu but showed no remorse in ep1 when stabbing a perfectly normal-looking human!!!
