Nice episode.

I think the one who met Kyouko when she was a child was Harutora and not Natsume. I can't imagine if she knows that Natsume is actually a girl and she have fallen to a girl. lol.

Natsume does like Charlotte, a reverse trap, pretending to be a boy. and same voice actress too, Hana Kanazawa does likes these roles. she's awesome :D

Kurahashi does not even realize she is turning into a lesbian 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.

That was... seriously the end of the familiars fight? Sure, whatever.

I liked that yakou devotee guy, and I'm pretty disappointed with the way they defeat these enemies and solve these issues so quickly, just so they can get back to pretty horrifically mediocre relationship drama repeatedly.

Natsume's continuing to be annoying, especially with her dumb tsundere shit. The mistaken gender stuff's sorta funny, and it'd be a nice chance to see some canon yuri (because Kurahashi/Natsume would be a way better ship than all this Natsume/Harutora crud we're inevitably gonna get anyway) but it's obviously never gonna happen. Ugh, whatever.

I'm literally just... I thought this episode meant this anime was gonna get better, but then it started to let itself down again. At least the demon wasn't seriously shitty CGI for once, I guess.

They blatantly decided to skip a lot from the original material in this episode. No wonder you're displeased with it. Even the past episodes had some rather important and relevant plot material, but hey, why bother, let's skip those too.

There are so many story possibilities for this series' hentai doujinshi XD

Natsume's abusing her power to get close to Harutora, first by sending a shikigami, tricking him into becoming her shikigami, and now moving to his dorm.

LOL. What? It seems that you're missing a lot of anime shows then.

Kurahashi is very much interesting. I can't wait for the outcome when Natsume's real gender's revealed.

There are no Lesbians in the Anime...

The girl that likes Natsume thinks Natsume is a "Boy" Everyone in her class does besides Harutora and Touji.

And let me get this straight. Harutora was too dense to figure out who "Hokuto" really was, but not to figure out the less obvious fact that Kuruhashi was making up with him to try to get to Natsume.


.....

Logicz, Logicz, man.

^THIS.


Harutora is actually a pretty perspective person when he's dealing with stuff outside the areas of romance. Furthermore a lot if has to due with the fact he views Natsume and Hokuto completely differently.

It seems a pretty lame excuse to me, Kuboish-like.

Even Kon couldn't save this episode. This was terrible beyond the point. How can people be so dense and dumb? And then that investigator fanatic or whatever. Did they try to make him as retarded as possible? I really was hoping that after they moved to university, show would get a little bit better. I guess I was wrong. Might check out another episode, but I'm not sure about that... :/

That was an awesome episode.

Also, looks like Harutora is the one that has the promise with Kurahashi instead. Can't wait to see how this promise would be unfolded.

I thought it would be revealed that Natsume is actually a girl in this episode, at least to Kurahashi and Tenma but looks like it will be really saved for later.

I was excited about that fight and they gave us pretty much nothing :/

That fight seemed pretty random and the magical investigator guy was weird.

I knew Kurahashi liked Natsume ;D her reaction when she finds out that Natsume is a girl will be great.

Well so is Natsume secretly a girl, that everyone thinks is a boy who dresses and acts like a girl?

And a love triangle between cousins.

Wel this is certainly interesting.

The fight at the start I was hoping to see more from but oh well. I look forward to kurahashi finally discovering his true talent. As I assume this will lead to 'male lead starts out as useless but turns out to be op' ending.

Oh and I love kon <3.

Battle between Harutora/Kon vs Kyouko was pretty anticlamatic.It was so short.

Natsume got kidnapped and Harutora and everyone saved her.

The Yako guy's voices sounded familiar,pretty sure it was either Kaji or Miyano.

Dem misunderstandings.

Touji is such a mysterious character he needs more screentime.

Kyouko loves Natsume.Ha she's switching sides without even realizing it.Seems she's got the wrong person though.

Episode was Ok though the battle scenes were kind of dull imo. Though it was intense but it felt a bit cheesy on some scenes. Also that fight from the beginning is too short and I thought it will be longer than that. Nevertheless, episode was still enjoyable.

So Natusume and Kyoko knew each other since they were little. that's a little progress of being friends. Huh Natsumi was kidnapped by that Yukou devotee guy or whatever. Rescuing Natusume was a success and that Yukou guy retreated somewhere. Now with Natsume living close to Harutora, I wonder if Kyoku will know about her true gender...

Oh my, the whole episode I wasn't sure if the subs were wrong/trolling or if Natsume was actually a boy. When (s)he finally said "I'm a boy, too" in the dorms, I was like, "SHE'S A GUY?" lol my mind was blown. Well, then I corrected myself with a "he".
I also wasn't sure if the Yakou guy was bad, I thought he wanted to be Natsume's protector, but uh, I guess Natsume wanted her friends or something. Not that I care all that much, but it took a little for me to label him as a "bad guy" =P

Kon and the ED are pretty much the only things I really like about this series. I'm not saying I don't like the series, but it's nothing standing out. Kon seriously needs her own show I'm so glad she does the ending of each episode ^^

Its good though when an Anime doesn't "exactly" follow the manga. It gives people who read the manga something new to enjoy.

Meh episode. Too much random angst in the middle and the fight was boring. I don't really care about their school drama tbh. Hope it gets better. Also, was it just me or did I hear Suzuki Tatsuhisa voicing the random side character boy in the first half (the one that made a comment about Harutora and then everyone else started to become friends with him)

The drama is so silly at times, it takes a lot of effort not to facepalm.
Harutora has a special shounen mode, MLG!
I guess Natsume will remain a "boy" for a while, the cow blonde girl loves "him" and I guess that joke is gonna be used a lot.

I certainly don't feel this was anything close to horrible as some try to make out to be, but I do think it could have been adapted better. This arc really should have been 3 episodes minimum. That said, the staff did a good job moving things along and covering a lot ground in the timeframe. So it's solid showing.

Hopefully next episode allows for some more even pacing.

That's not the best episode, for sure. All those funny moments around "boy thing" actually were not funny at all. Action part was pretty mediocre.

I have no idea why some people have an issue with trap angle, it's hardly a new thing. If anything it makes the love triangle pretty amusing and adds interesting dynamic to cast and who Natsume interacts with as whole.

Well... that could have been adapted better. I have less qualms about it than an anime only viewer since I've read the raws but well that's just me. And yeah the reverse trap thing was expected. I also cringed a little when this happened in the novels but what can we do? The misunderstanding doesn't last too long (thankfully) but yeah.

And for those willing to stick w/ Tokyo Ravens for the long haul I give you a small disclaimer:
