Whoa, I wonder what happened to Naru, and I wonder if was caused by his fall into the manhole.
Also, now I'm almost certain that Ubusuna-sensei is the culprit =P

When they were in the manhole was quite cute. (:
But I wonder wuz going on with him. & yeah, Ubusuna, totally.

I do want to learn more about Mai though, her dreams and 'instincts'. Lin-san knows there's something different about her, ne?

Naru's pet coin sequence was adorable, and rather surprised me, really. I like scenes like that.

Fureal? 4th episode? Ma-a-an, and the culprit seems so obvious at this point.. Well, the show is actually interesting even that way, so I don't mind.

It's nice to watch this during night, lol ^^

That ghost in the end was creepy. The Mai and Naru moment was so sweet I almost got diabetes <3

LOL Lin is the real onmyouji, not Naru. I wonder if Naru really doesn't have any power? What was that about the coin?

Mai's pissing me off. She's so vulnerable. The fence literally says "Keep Out", yet she goes after hearing random voices. There's a fricking man hole and she thinks it's safe to go down there. There's a ladder right there, yet she doesn't think about why the "child" down there wouldn't climb it. I hate how she keeps on saying that the girl is innocent, when she doesn't have any proof to back it up. Also, she knows that the culprit needs a name to curse yet she blindly gives it to the teacher. (who right now I suspect 99% is the culprit) Baka baka baka. Oh she's also voiced by the person who voiced Heroine (Amnesia) and Nunally (C.G.) whom I also hate.

My least favourite arc so far. Woo. One more episode to go.

Pretty sure it's that teacher that is always with that girl that's being accused of these curses. Mai wasn't targeted until after the teacher asked her name. Also had a feeling when they first showed her since she looks suspicious as hell acting too nice lol.

Really liked the scene with Naru and Mai in the well.

I'm 100% sure the culprit is Ubusana. I'll be surprised if she isn't.

The culprit is probably already very obvious..
But the way they make the curses happen is quite exciting.
Naru having staring contests with evil spirits was nice.. and the little magic trick in the well was also refreshing
Suddenly the cool man broke down.. yeah can't wait for what happens next.

Pretty obvious who the culprit is, what's remaining is the reason. Wonder what made Naru collapse though.

That spirit with the scythe was really creepy. For a second I thought it was gonna change it's target from Naru to Mai! It's so odd though how Lin and John always either leave or enter the group together.

Lol, how he told Mai he was playing stares with ghost till dawn :D

The coin scene :3

But what I dislike in general is miraculous fallings in anime. Sure, you can survive a fall, but falling with your head down on a concrete pawement from 2-3 story height is f*cking dangerous :/

Well, they made it even more obvious who the culprit is. I guess I was right in my last guess. Such a coincidence that Mai is suddenly targetted... I just don't get what is the motivation behind it. Maybe the culprit have a grudge against Kasai, so she use all the people that went against her to isolate her more and more?

When Naru collapsed, they all just stared him lying on the floor and kind of freaking out lol. No one rushed to his side, I laughed so freaking hard. So far that is the best part of this boring series. Still laughing.

I loved Naru's coin trick. Maybe he's not as cold as he initially seems. He did a great job taking Mai's mind off the dangerous situation they were in.

I swear, if Ubusuma-sensei is the culprit, then this going to be a 1/10 arc. Extremely cliche on how the protag's instinct that the main suspect isn't the culprit are true, leading to the one and only possible culprit. Moreover it's been quite obvious since the last episode and this episode made it almost crystal clear. Pretty disappointing since Fuyumi Ono wrote 2 of my favorite anime, Shiki and 12 Kingdoms.

I'm sorry, but that Naru coin scene did nothing for me. Was that supposed to be romantic? 😕 Chile, I guess. 🙄 Personally, I don't care for romance here. Romance can definitely be in a horror show, or horror adjacent show, but it needs to be built up and there needs to be chemistry. Great examples are:
- Surreal Easter: first season with Luke and Susan.
- Evil: the first four seasons (before they were cancelled and the writers had to scramble) with Kristen and David.
- Deadboy Detectives: Charles and Crystal. Or even Charles and Edwin low-key (even if Charles x Crystal is the obvious endgame, Charles and Edwin do have some chemistry)...
- October Faction: Geoff and Philip.

Basically, it needs chemistry. Geoff and Philip started as enemies, but it was obvious that they were canon.

Like, inside shows like this, people tend to want the horror before romance. And it's especially frustrating for an unbelievable romance with two unlikable characters. You gotta pick a struggle. Because even if I personally didn't like Geoff or Philip from October Faction, their romance was believable and didn't get in the way of the plot.

Mai x Naru doesn't have that luxury. They're not particularly likable characters, and their romance isn't believable at this point. Even with that coin thing, Naru doesn't seem to have feelings for her. There's no chemistry. I legit felt nothing for that coin thing. I was waiting for it to end, which doesn't bode well for the romance. 😬
