| Very cute couple. Awwww... can't help but having that fuzziness in my heart. |
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? |
| XO those two look cute together |
 |
| Awww... they make a cute couple, and they went leaps and bounds this episode. I like this series because it focuses on the emotions, fears, longings of the characters; all have an interesting back-story (those that have had an analysis). Also, I LOVE the use of colors in this show. great episode and I look forward to next week :D |

tsubasalover said: Ok, I will type Susukihotaru beginning next ep., not just "Hotaru" , but the character page should change to "Susukihotaru" as first name (it is acceptable as there's no last name). I thought her name was Hotaru by that MAL character page... ... End of rambling. I tried to change her name on the character page but I guess a mod or whatever hasn't approved it yet.... |
| I love how this show is giving episodes to help develop the supporting cast. I hate it when animes have superfluous characters lol . I am really looking forward to Zakuro's next episode though =) i want to see her with kei ASAP |
| This opening was boring, until when suzikihotaru swinged with the sword ... Mod edit: no +1/-1 quote chains please. |

helur said: I think my heart just about melted out of my chest, too. Now, where can you find a) the ability to read emotions and b) a tall, broad backed guy who's pleased with that fact?Riken and Susukihotaru are the most literally perfect pair ever. I loved the little chat about how he is a man of few words, and how he would like it if somebody could read his mind instead. I just went, "cha!" PrincessAruri said: Haha, though certainly more voluptuous than Clamp's xxxHolic art. I quite enjoyed her character. Hope to see more of her.I really liked their client, the shopkeeper... A sexy, pouty-lipped woman who employs spirits? A relative of Yuuko Ichihara's, perhaps? ;D MusashiRose said: I also really love their eyes.Also, I LOVE the use of colors in this show. |
| This was such a cute episode, I'm so glad there was some focus on Riken and Hotaru because they are my favorites right now. Hotaru is so shy and cute, then Riken is the tall, dark and handsome quiet type (which is so my favorite male type in anime XD) Can't to see more |
Demon_Acker said: Yes, MAL has her listed as her seiyuu but I'd have to listen again to make sure since it was a little exaggerated to make it sound more child-like.Smochi said: Ahhh, can someone tell me who Mugi's seiyuu was? I know I recognise her voice, but I can't put my finger on it >.<; It might be Ai Nonaka, she sounds a lot like Fuko (Clannad) to me, although I'm not sure. And this show really has a different mood than usual, animation included. Fits it so well. And as much as people hate Ganryuu, you have to admit it'd be kind of boring if all we had was the stoic and perfect soldier and the scaredy-cat and completely useless in a fight soldier. At the very least he provides more variety, though I think people just tend to hate smarty-pants who always try to show off. |

| Susukihotaru's name has been successfully changed! yw |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
wheresthehandle said: Susukihotaru's name has been successfully changed! She deserves at least this much love! The character descriptions for Susukihotaru, Bonbori, Hoozuki, Riken-sama, Ganryuu-sama and Agemaki added as well. This anime needs moar love. Thank you dear Mod-san for taking your time to change them upon request. :) |

| I can definitely said that this is the most boring show of this season, the only reason I keep watching is because of Zakuro and Agemaki, all the others characters are annoying. |

No they're not. While I completely agree with you, I think everyone has their way of enjoying something. i do know myself pretty much that i would be happier if the anime had less bonbori, hoozuki and ganryuu-sama in it. for more airtime for riken and susukihotaru (since they are my fav). not much worried about zakuro and agemaki, since those two will get a good chunk of airtime pretty much, since its obvious who are the main characters amongst the main characters. :P |

True, I think more can be done with the blonde twins whose names I can't remember though. |

garfield15 said: I always forget Hoozuki's name, mostly cause Bonbori just kinda sticks more to my memory, that said I'm pretty sure episode 5 is their solo-debut.Well, it's just that when someone posts in absolutes like "These characters are annoying" as if it's a fact, I see no reason to not post in absolutes in response. True, I think more can be done with the blonde twins whose names I can't remember though. BTW, I also had an urge to retort back to his comment, mostly because I really think people should add a little WHY they dislike it. I mean, I can see why some people might seem the series boring. The pace is slower, the characters act all cheery and polite to one another and generally the series has a slow pace and dull colors. I find it all adds to it's charm but it's obvious the series is not for everyone. That said, when people just simply go "it sucks" at things, it makes it seems like they're trying to pick a fight with others. |

I tried it as well. wheresthehandle said: Susukihotaru's name has been successfully changed! yw Nice, I saw it, too. |

People don't have to agree with me, but they could at least state their reasons otherwise why bother posting about it on a forum...it's not really adding to the discussion or anything. |

| Well, that happened really fast. They're pretty much a couple, now. I'm pissed that the Ministry of Spirit Affairs is stupid enough to not let the army know what powers the girls have, though. Wouldn't it be better that everybody gets told during the first meeting so then they can make the best use of the girls? Geez. This show continues to be average, with slightly better-than-average art. Am really only continuing to watch so I can say "I told you so" when Hanadate is revealed as the villain. (Annnnnnd to hear my bb Sakurai Takahiro.) |

It is obvious they were made for each other...by the creator." Looking forward to next week! Absolutely agree! Riken and Susukihotaru are my favorite pairing! :D They are perfect for eachother! Great episode! Favorite so far! (: |
| Really liked the devellopment between Suzukiotaru and Rikken here, and it's kind of clever to pair up a taciturn with someone with such power. I'm glad that this entire episode was dedicated on character devellopment. |
| Why are they (Riken/Susukihotaru) so cuttteee? :3 Love the twins. And Zakuro is such a tsundere, lol. "I wasn't looking or anything...." |

desolato said: Ahhh, I don't mind having to say this week after week, but I LOVE this show, although I'm still not sure what caused it. Is it the smooth & soft animation, the pleasant atmosphere, or just the characters? All together they definitely make a nice package. I feel the same. Certainly this show hasn't shown anything amazing or extremely thrilling until now but for some reason it's so lovely to watch. The art, the colors, the calmness, the characters, the warmth, all together make a very sweet lovely anime. |
| This was such a great episode!!!! Riken is a god among men! |

| HNNGGG Riken. I liked this episode much more than the other ones although the melodrama was a bit much at times. The whole Susukihotaru/Riken romance sends my heart aflutter ohohoh. Although it was a little cheesy when Riken was all "I'm a man of few words...read my mind instead" I still fell for it. Perfect shoujo moment. The little girl was super cute. And I'm hoping to see more of Orikata in future episodes. She's so fine. The lack of Zakuro was really refreshing. I'm already sick of her antics and we're not even at the half way point of the show. She comes off as a sue-ish tsundere to me and her interactions with Agemaki feel contrived. Overall, she's just a stale character imo. |
 |
a wonderful episode and the first 5/5 I've given this show so far. What an ideal couple, and it's orchestrated so well. The whole episode was well constructed and a pleasure to watch. ^__^ |
 |
| Great episode! Loved it the entire way through. Some really good character developement, some flashy and calm scenes. Everything i'd have to say for this episode was perfect for me. This show is really starting to build on me! Looking forward to the next! |
| My goodness, this is a romantic show. I cried profusely. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Romance that didn't annoy me? Well, that's a great show then. Susukihotaru's shyness is awesome. |
| D'aww. Can I say that this is the most adorbable episode ever? :] |
| Riken, you lucky gentleman. And, after Hanyuu, those are the cutest little horns there ^^ |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| Emotional episode and great to see Susukihotaru and Riken get along better. Also, lol'd @ ending ^_^ |
 |
| That was so sweet and Mugi is so adorable :D! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Wow, and episode without Yakuro and the quality shoots straight up. Loved it and I love these two that were featured in this episode. Such a nice pairing. |

Wouldn't it be better that everybody gets told during the first meeting so then they can make the best use of the girls? Geez. I agree with this gripe. I am loving the show, but the management at this Ministry is piss-poor. It should be imperative that the team members know each others' powers and weaknesses. Especially since Susukihotaru's power is clearly also a liability - she is highly sensitive and easily gets overwhelmed and stunned by the thoughts and feelings she absorbs. Getting unexpectedly stunned in the heat of battle is a quick way to get her and her partner killed. Yay for the sweetness in their relationship, though! |
