| never get bored of watching and rewatching op and ed what an intense start, LOVE it!!!!, 5/5 for me i think it is a candidate for best anime of this fall |
| KyoAni showing off their excellent animation with that fight. It's like they're saying "yeah 'cause we can" xD *cough* someone please make a gif of that *cough* 5/5 because Akkey's mom is awesome. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The voice of Akkey really bothers me, i feel like it doesn't fit to his personality at all. No offense to the seiyuu... |
| Dat mom "Isn't it wonderful to have a big-busted mother with a few screws loose?" Yes, for us viewers it is :p |
| This doesn't answer any question yet add many. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I think I am hooked with yet another KyoAni anime. They know what they are doing! The tray holding scene was so KyoAni like! Love how they do it, time and again, and I never get tired of them! Kuriyama was so cute there!<3 And the ED is so wonderful! I think it is the best ED song of all the anime that started this season! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Pretty good episode, Mostly in this is to strengthened Mirai character, and getting to join Akihito's club. That fight scene in the beginning was entertaining and most of the characters were enjoyable to watch. As for the OP and ED, they fit pretty well for the anime. |
| The fight at the start was... wow. Akkey's mum was so funny i couldn't help but felt embarrassed for him too :P Cant wait for the hollow-shadow youmu to appear!! |
| the fight scene really looked nice. the visuals are really great.. but i felt this episode had lots of unnecessary talking and lots of questions remain unanswered... |
 |
| Wow I fucking love this show man. I don't like when the ED starts playing though but this has to be one GOAT ED. Also why do they make all the endings so cliffhanger, this one and last week. Can't wait for next week. |
 |
| Solid episode, hopefully can only get better from here really enjoying this so far :D |
 |
| That fight was awesome! Loving all the girls so far, great cast <3 And Akihito's mom....dayum. Wait only 13 episodes?? D:<! |
| Oh no, not this crappy cliche again. 'I killed someone, I don't have the right to live among other people, I'm a monsteeeerrrr'. Don't they ever get tired of this? How about a character who would say 'yeah, I killed someone and I live on without whining like a little bitch' for a change? This show could be so much better without this blob in glasses. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Akihito's mom lol. New characters that I like so far, it continues to be enjoyable. Oh yes, the ending is lovely. |
 |
| I think people are being too hard on this show and that's coming from someone who is usually biased to Kyo ani. I expected a slice of life anime with fantasy elements that is not plot heavy and I got that. I wish it never becomes too dark that would be boring. Enjoyable episode 4/5. |
 |
| eh I thought the comedy was quite good in this episode. But yeah, the I killed someone card has been played many times before and it's not that surprising considering she stabbed a complete stranger even if she thought it was a youma. |
| So, after Coppelion this is confirmed to be another disappointment of this season. I mean, hands into armpits, neko-cliche mother really? Come on! It's not even funny, more like it's weird. Not to talk about this really bad setting. And maybe it's just me but some voices felt really off for their characters. |
| Well below the first episode, but still manages to be very good, especially in the first minutes KyoAni animating fights very well, but in the anime comedy owes much, bad jokes and clichés further level KyoAni. The story is not much left of the place and we were not knowing many things, except for the short flashbacks and unnecessary drama of Kiriyama. I hope that history will focus more on suspense than in Slice of Life and drama of the characters. |

I agree. The scene with the onigiri was so funny. xD I like this kind of stuff. ^^ And I like the way they unfold the story bit by bit. BAM „I killed someone … *sad“! No „Yo, and ya know? I killed someone, but thats okay. Its the stuff the audience wants to see anyway and it was obvious since this show startet“. And other stuff like the introduction of new characters within the fluent way things happen in the show. Its not like in other shows where they introduce the persons with „Hi camera, I'm Shin, I'm new to school here and I want to become the captain of the baseball team and this is my best friend Taku blablaandsoon“. I mean, I dont have the feeling, that the charas are introduced directly to me to show, whom I'm dealing with. No, the simply let the persons tell and do some stuff and you automaticly get to know some relationships as if you would stand beside those charas. You know, what I mean? I like this kind of storytelling. The ED is well done and truly fantastic, but I like the songs from the Log Horizon ED and the Uuchuu Kyoudai ED more. So: Best ED, but not best song. ^^ I like it when the producers fade in the ED song while the last scenes of the episode are still on screen. In ep1 this was so great. Cant wait for ep3! =) |
| A bit of a step up from the previous episode. I actually liked the jokes~ Not saying they're that funny though. Just enough to make me smile. |
| Liked this episode more than the first, to be honest. It made many things clearer for me. And Akihito's mum is the best. I laughed way too hard at the scene. Never expected that! |
| This episode was enjoyable. Loved the fight scene. And the mom. |
 |
| Having seen the Commercial of this one and Free! I didn't expect the second episode to be that great action wise The story is intriguing and there is a fine balance between lighthearted and seriousness Thank you Kyoani! |
| I ended up watching the part with the guy's mom FIVE times LOL |
| 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. |
| Still too moe for my tastes. Can they please just stick to one type of seriousness? I don't like the random "cutesy" moments ruining an action scene. The comedy is a hit-and-miss, but a miss for me. I fangirled really hard when Tatsun's character finally appeared. But I will keep watching. |
| Oh well this episode was better than the last one oO Also I love the mother lol |
| Enjoying the show so far, mostly just for the amazing animation. I just hope it doesn't turn into a predictable romance between Mirai and Akihito "Us against the world" type of thing. |
| i love the scene where Mitsuki said that Akihitio should die xD http://imgur.com/sdXk5PG |
 |
| I can't believe that people thought Obnoxious Busty Mom (TM) was funny. That scene was a horrible attempt at comedy, even by KyoAni's dangerously low standards. |

| Well i am somewhat interested in this anime, and it looked less like a Chuunibyou clone this episode. Main girl is still a bit strange tho and need some more explanation the others characters aren't well developed yet either, tho it's only the second episode so can't ask for to much. Currently even tho it looks interesting i still have question marks with this anime, it has a darker setting and more action then we usually see in a KyoAni anime. And i am glad to see them do something different for ones but still not sure about this anime itself. |

I don't know man, doesn't make much sense to me either as that was definitely the low point of the episode for me. They're really trying way to hard to make the comedic bits work but it just doesn't mesh with the vibe of the rest of the show and the whole spirit world mythos thing somehow. A lot of the gags just feel there for the sake of being there, it's a really hard to describe feeling. |
| Urgh I don't think I would be watching this anime if it wasn't for the gorgeous animation and fight scenes. This series is so slow and boring? All the attempts at humor are just girl jokes. Like was his mother really needed? That was just a horrible attempt at being funny and I guess was just...another thing they are known for. Moe ladies. It seems that is all they really are doing with this show. It makes me sad because I see no personality in the main character yet other than cliche heroine with glasses. (While she does fight great though) Just...everything about this series is pretty generic which is disappointing. Still, I will watch it in hopes it gets better. The plot itself does sound interesting. Maybe when they actually get to it the series will be worthwhile, because honestly I got nothing of plot other than that there are demons to fight and lots of beautiful women around. |
| The anime is getting more interesting now; espiecially with the first episode being a drag :3 That nice little cliffhanger at the end :3 |
| Finally a new show I don't have to force myself to watch. I enjoy it from start to finish. |
| I'm on my way.. from what i see, it seems that the episode is that good |
 |
| dat fight ! |
| awesome awesome :3 I love it :3 hmm I see there are so much youmi around :p btw I really like the OP XD |
| This episode was so much better than the first one, that's good. Still not enough to keep me interested though. Hope this gets more interesting as time goes on. |
 |
| This anime is pure crap, it is very boring. I only liked MC mother scene I think I drop it because there so many better shows this fall |
| who doesnt love a free spirit |
 |
| God, the OP is nice, but the ED is just GODLY. I like Akihito so far, but sometimes it seems kinda cliche with the whole everyone-hate-on-the-male-lead thing. Some jokes make me smile, but some fall flat. I like how they compare youmu to mammals, and how not all youmus are flat out monsters. A huge boobed mom that acts like a child? ._. How cliche is that? *coughToradora*cough* The action scene was AHMAZING. I've watched that a bunch of times. I already like Hiromi a lot haha. Hmm, still deciding whether Mirai is just a stereotypical moe blob (who also happens to be a badass). With the whole "I killed someone" thing, I REALLY hope they can make it work. I don't want some "I couldn't save her so therefore I killed her" bullshit. And I don't want Akihito to be totally cool with it either. I want Mirai to SUFFER (not cause I hate her, but just to make the anime darker). I really hope they can make this anime darker and less slice-of-life(but not totally take it away) because it has a lot of potential. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Great animation. Another anime with potential, hope it doesn't flop. His mom is purrfect nya. I don't really like any of the characters yet but Mirai killing someone is interesting, I hope they do something good with that. |

| great animation on the beginning fight scene! can't wait for nest weeks ep |

| They gotta tone down the in-combat comedy, but looking forward to future developments |
