Lol, what's with the cat spirits and curses? And this one episode establishes more of Rinne's potentials although I have to say that he's not entirely so fit.

Not the best episode for this season but had some moments. Episode also kinda made me hungry

It seems like anime original (to introuduce Rinne's father) this ep.

Tsubasa is rushed as always. Two bakeneko in mischief caught two boys in captive from opening "Hokora" up, which the girl wanted to ask Rinne about it. Delicious Oodoro is the key to seal them again? Damashi Gami lady tricked everyone, so Rinne was caught when sealing two bakeneko. Tsubasa saved Rinne, and got oodoro sushi with his exorcist item to send them. Finally some introduction to Rinne's father.

Biker soul and Kakkii's character (Masato) next ep.

The anime added alot of anime original material (Which is more or less welcome) since Tsubasa wasn't supposed to appear. BUT! We see my favorite dirtbag at the end of the episode and a new character (Who is voiced by Tetsuya Kakkihara <3)

The BGM sounds terribly out of place in this episode. I can't tell if they are trying to liven up the fairly static action of this story with "action" music, or if they are trying to satirize action shows by playing the music.

I'm sorry, I accidentally laughed seeing it, but it's Yamaguchi Kappei or Kappei Yamaguchi, not the other way around.

Tsubasa became the one who exorcised the cats this episode. Money seems to be not the problem for him unlike Rinne.

This episode was very different from the chapters it was based on, mainly because Jumonji wasn't around in those chapters and the Damashigami woman is completely anime original. I guess they did that so they could introduce Sabato differently.
Good episode. Weakest so far (the chapters weren't that good either), but still enjoyable.

Hmm, I liked that episode, but so far I can't get grabbed by the story. I got to admit though, that this episode ended really well, and it made intrigued to find out about his father. Yamaguchi Kappei's voice is one I would never forget. That damashigami, really got on my nerves, it good that Jumonji got the protagonism in this episode.

Hmm, not very good episode, I found whole bakeneko story a bit crazy and not very interesting.

I dunno about those new characters either, they just seems like pain in the ass, nothing like lovely Shampoo or treacherous Cologne. Well, I just hope this gets better soon.

Also, what was the reason of those bandages? It almost felt like "we are on tight budget and don't want to animate lips" thing.

Sakura is so brave. Can she even get scared? She was like, "Children's hands? I don't give a damn."

Not really feeling this episode. It was okay, the tuna scene was nice tho. Seem like Tsubasa is started to get inspiration from Rokudou.

That was a bit boring. The cat monster idea was pretty lame and dumb, and the BGM did not fit the episode at all.

And does Sakura actually react to anything ever? Her seeming inability to care was funny at first but is just pretty annoying now.

Tsubasa saved the day and I'm really happy for the guy....He deserved to at least have this one win :)

It was a good episode however what really interested me was the appearance of some dude that looks like Rokudou =o They are without question related to each other somehow because this cannot be a coincidence

Sakura is way braver than any of us will ever be. If she was a Shinigami, there would be no evil spirits left in the world.

I believe it's the same in the manga as well. But I do have to say that it was unnecessary nonetheless.

Bakeneko story wasn't really interesting and they were dealt with in a very inept way. Oh well, at least the Damashigami was somewhat hot. Seems like Rokudou's dad is her boss.

Average episode. This show seems to be following "Monster of the Week" trope so far. Not that it's bad or anything, but it tends to get stale if the story revolving around the particular spirit/apparition turns out to be dull.

When I heard Yamaguchi at the end, I lost it. I understand the low rating, this show hasn't really wowed me yet but I have enough faith in Rumiko Takahasi to keep watching. I can see how the young'uns who aren't familiar with her work might be unimpressed. The kids love their transforming robots and ill-conceived card games.

So Rinne's father is hiring those damashigamis (or whatever they're called) to bring in humans for him or something....?

Anyway, looking forward to finding out more about him.

Does Rinne have an evil twin? x)

Well, Juumonji finally achieved something, even if he had to be humiliated first. Even with that, he can't get Sakura attention. Friendzoned forever.

Y'all I was laughing so much when during the night scene all the characters lighting/shading was off. Like the evil shinigami and rinne were painted brightly as though they were in day light but all the other characters had the blue tinge. Obviously some were animated after but still, the lack of attention to detail is really enterraininggg

Edit: just realised the awkward lighting was done on purpose to differentiate between humans and shinigamis/all other things invisible. I'm actually just very very dull.

Jumonji could learn a thing or two from Rinne. But the ending says he's not gonna try doing things in Rinne's way. Which sucks. He could be a good guy if he gets the development.

This was kind of an average episode. Bakenekos aren't interesting.

That voice in the end... I know who that is!
