| Lol @ Hiroomi's siscon Good episode . |
 |
| General quality of this show is about the same as quality of animation in this gif: http://i.minus.com/ibrqGezyDZcWga.gif From now on I'm only watching this for girls other than Kuriyama. Damn you KyoAni, go back to making good anime. |
| That animal biscuit looked a lil bit suspicious if you ask me. |
| That super powerful youmu approaching town... keeps reminding me of Walpurgisnacht, the super witch in Madoka that also approached the city where the heroine lived. And both youmu and witches are related to the dark side of human emotion and thinking... |
| 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 think all the fetish dialogue in this show is an attempt to imitate Monogatari. A very sad attempt. Nisio is leagues above whoever wrote KnK. |

We need to repost this on every page, to show how brilliantly written Kyoukai no Kanata is. Akanezora said: To summarize. Mirai: Go away you don't understand! Akihito: No, I really do! Mirai: You can't understand what I'm feeling, now go away! Akihito: No wait- Mirai: That's unpleasant. Akihito: ... Later, after cooking some eggs. Akihito: No, it's you who doesn't understand! I don't know anymore. |

| ahhhh mitsuki, you're mio i'm dreaming for a long time <3 |
 |
| My glasses fetish is starting to awaken deep inside of me! |
| It's starting to get annoying. If she doesn't want to kill the youmu, why go and fight them? She fought, but stopped right at the last moment? It's getting annoying man. The comedy is fine, I like the Hollow Shadow phenomena, pretty epic, and kinda reminded me of Nurarihyon no Mago where Rikuo leads his underlings/allies and invaded Kyoto to confront Hagoromo Kitsune ^^ |

Takuan_Soho said: While I agree most of the differences you mentioned, which is why I only said in my post about the super youmu "reminding" me of Walpurgisnacht instead of saying they are similar or even the same. However, given that all the fighters are warned not to tackle the super-youmu or risk death, I get the feeling that this super-youmu is still very powerful. It may not be a type 5 hurricane, but it could well be a type 3 that requires high alert and preparation. The difference is that Walpurgisnacht is a type 5 hurricane, whereas the Youmu is more like a tropical storm. Takuan_Soho said: Perhaps the place that they were did not have that many supernatural fighters to make the prediction? Perhaps back then that youmu had not growth as powerful as now? Perhaps because of the death of Yui, people now took it a lot more seriously? I don't really see it being too much of a plot hole here. There is, however, a serious major potential plot gap here. It is said that this is the same Youmu that attacked Yui, but in that it everyone seems to know about it coming a couple days in advance, the question is raised: how was it able to sneak up on Yui and Mirai? If this is not explained it would be a failing of the show, but I have confidence that there is more to this than has been explained yet, and this will be a major part of the story. Takuan_Soho said: From what little I read about the novel, she is not really a dark character, but someone else could be....Another interesting bit is that the teacher obviously meant to goad Mirai into attacking the creature (mentioning both the past and the profit in it), knowing full well that she probably wouldn't survive it. That is a touch of darkness that makes one want to see more, wondering how that will be developed. |

| I think I would've liked this show a lot more if Mirai isn't such an unlikable airhead. It's like... Watching Hirasawa Yui being emo... The sad thing is, I can picture Yui being completely emo in an episode of K-On! and the episode end up as a heartwarming piece of story... I think the reason I couldn't enjoy this show, is because I simply couldn't bring myself to like Mirai at all. Her clumsiness, the way she acted, even her supposedly sad backstory didn't manage to touch my emotional heart-string... And it doesn't take much to actually make me feel for a character. It's not all bad though, there are some highlights in the episode. Highlight for the episode... The siscon have big scars on his back, Mitsuki have a kamaitachi(?) as a familiar, the girl with the spear-gun, the "talk" between the Association guy and Nase Izumi. |

| I like This anime |
| Not sure what i think about this episode. The megane-girl is becoming so... contradictional? She's feeling so much guilt about killing a possessed girl, yet she had no mercy for MC in the first episode when she kept killing him numerous times. And when she was stalking him so much she apparently forgot that she's killed someone. Now that she suddenly remembered it she feels like she has no right to be around other people. I just don't get that reasoning of hers. She had no money yet she refused to take that stone with youmu even though it was her who almost finished it. Okay, let's say she has too much pride to accept help (but then why did she ask mc for help with yokai in her apartment?) She knows she stands no chance against that hollow youmu yet she's going to fight it. No, really, she has so much trouble defeating minor demons, how do you imagine her fight that boss-like thing? I wish she gets over this crap soon, cause all other characters and plot look interesting to me. |

| Megane Mitsuki <3 So many new characters o.o I find the conversation between Mirai and Akihito weird... Didn't knew Akihito was such a "slow" character. Intense action and godly animation as always! Dat Sakura.. Machine gun, balmung, chain saw combined @_@ |
| Really great ending song, but the anime itself is....mediocre at best. Meh, just keep watching for the visuals. |
| So far I have loved everything in this show except Mirai's role in it. I like Mirai herself, but I don't like how the show focuses on her because it no matter how hard I try I can't seem to care about her past and character development. I enjoyed the male lead's interactions with everyone, and I love the world they're building, mirai's cuteness is also nice to see... but when the show wants to be serious and show me her past I just can't take it seriously. Considering how much time the show spends tailing Mirai that could become a pretty big problem. It's like: I loved the world, I loved the character interaction, the character design, I loved the fanservice, I loved the animation and art style, the OST and VA... but I didn't like the story. And that's a shame because this particular episode had a very nice feeling to it, like watching an epic movie. |

| Thought it was funny how Mirai was doing the opposite of what she was saying.Like when she said "I can't take it" while she was holding the money. Hiroomi's siscon.Call me "Onii-chan!" Lol'd at "Love you?",no "Drop dead!" Mitsuki looks hot in glasses,and dem shots<3. Hiroomi looked different without his scarf.Not just a fashion accessory but a weapon too. Based on the flashback I'm guessing Mirai was told by her friend to kill her when the Hollow Shadow possessed her.And I'm guessing that next episode the same thing will happen with Akihito,expect this time Akihito won't die cause he's immortal. Sakura's chainsaw gun blade thing looked pretty cool. It was revealed that Mirai was tooken in by the Inami family when her clan was destroyed,thus explaining how Mirai and Sakura knew each other.Also guessing Sakura was that other girl's sister. |
| Man...I am so conflicted. I REALLLY want to like this show, because there are some things i genuinely like (OMFG THAT ED. *VOMITS IN EXCITEMENT*), but some things are really hit-and-miss. Mirai is cute and sometimes funny but she's really infuriating me. I'd like to see Akihito get mad more as well, not like comical mad, but like actual anger. Like if he grabbed Mirai to keep her from going after the Hollow Shadow. Mirai's backstory IS sad, but I mean I didn't really feel anything, they could have conveyed that better. I want to fucking punch Mirai in the face. Loving Hiromi so far. I'm guessing Sakura is Yui's sister, but WTF? they just brought her out of nowhere. Also, HOW THE FUCK did Akihito get to Mirai so fast?! Just so he could "save her" in time. ._. Jeez, I like and I really want to like this show because it has potential but it's kinda meh so far (didn't stop me from downloading all the music for it though). I really wish this show could get darker. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Don't know wether this anime is trying to be moe or action the two can work together but somehow things feel a bit out of place in this. I don't really like action but somehow i don't mind it here what bothered me more was the emphasis on the glasses, the obsession of the main with them is a bit to much. I also don't like those ugly 90s glasses but shamefully those are in lately, luckily it's just a trend and it will go over in time for the anime however by the time it's over this anime will already have stopped airing. For the main girl she just doesn't look appealing her hair looks terrible and as a mentioned earlier those ugly 90s glasses don't soothe her and then there is the pink jacket. It's like a total mismatch tho it does soothe the story style, and doesn't really soothe KyoAni style with the way they are trying to make her look cute. |

| Pretty good episode. The only thing that is ruining the anime so far is Mirai. She contradicts herself like what Saijuro said. |

| I wish they simply tone down the emo drama part... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I would say this is an okay episode, but my issue is about Mirai's decision on following the Hollow Shadow and her personality is kind of a bit irritating. I understand about her past being to unpleasant for her but she doesn't have to follow the Shadows. Well it was funny in the first half, and it became a serious atmosphere in the second half if it. Also we get to see Mirai past in this and I can see why Sakura is attacking her now. Oh yeah the fight looks pretty cool imo. Well I hope next episode is interesting. |

| the episode felt really quick but at least we found out why she killed a girl. it was also really cool seeing everyone use their powers! i thought hiroomi's especially great with the way he manipulated his scarf. the hollow shadow will probably be a big topic on the show? or it might just be a temp arc who knows. |

| OMG, what is that fluffy purple bluish creature at the beginning?? Can I eat it? |
| I didn't expect Hiroomi to be a siscon, I thought he was interested in Akihito or something xD This sure is getting interesting now. This show has one of the best opening and ending songs this season and esp. that ending song (Or maybe it's just me who always prefer ED songs over OP songs I mean almost 70 percent japanese songs in my playlist are ending songs xD)... Akihito needs some powers! |

| I thought the halberd fighter was the manifestation of Mirai's dead childhood friend but after a short check I discovered they have different names so she can't possibly be Yui. Which leaves the question: who is that girl? She's still associated with the Inami family which raised Mirai, but the latter never mentioned another daughter.

I think the way Kyoani animated that scene wasn't what actually happened that day, that was a dramatic representation of the incident. I mean, the Shadow didn't sneak up on them without anyone noticing, Kyoani decided to mesh together two different scenes that happened at different times to maintain the flow in narration. I know I'm grasping at straws here, but that's the only reasonable explanation. |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Can't believe how much the Ep3 preview just tells you whats going to happen next. |
| Intense episode. Mirai's past TwT Dat scarf Akihito : 0 I love the Op and ED song!!! |
| Hiroomi's sister fetish haha :D now we know more about Mirai :) |
 |
| An intense episode. I think i'm obsessed to megane girls now because of Mirai's cuteness =D That preview, is that Akihito?? can't wait next week. Progeusz said: millo said: She can't decide between trying to be cool or cute. So far she fails at both.WHAT'S THE POINT IN CUTTING THOSE TWO INNOCENT TREES?? WTF That made me laugh. |
| Better than the two previous episodes, but still nothing that great. |
| Once I saw that gun/chainsaw I thought Gears Of War |
| hahahahha yeah. ^ She should've succeeded in sawing Mirai's face off. |
| I NEVER SAAAAY GOOODBYEE, ITSUDATTE SOUU SAA~ |
 |
| This episode had the chance of progressing Mirai as a strong and independent character but so far it has failed. It may happen in episode 4 or perhaps a later episode but I doubt it. I dont see her going from moe to hardcore ever. |
| Don't watch the preview. Huge spoiled >< |
