| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Interesting episode, but for some reason I didn't like it as much as the previous one. Also, one thing I noticed, is that this anime is quite similar to Rental Magica, mostly because each character, from both shows, is specialized (not sure if that's the correct word) in a diferent type of exorcism (?) technique =P |
| Through out this whole episode my head just kept saying: "Okay can anyone say 'The Ring'?". Just the whole mother/daughter and old covered well was very similar. All and all the episode was pretty good and the way they ended it was interesting. I still just wish the main ghost was a bit scarier looking. Maybe something like out of 'FATAL FRAME'. And finally Lin get some more action! The poor guy has been in the background for a while now. Hopefully we'll see more of him in the upcoming episodes. |
| Not as creepy without the doll but still good. |
     |
| its was a good episode but it could be better! |
| Oh the drama behind the ghost story is always touching |
 |
| Meh average chapter. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| okay the purification at the end was lame. |
| Downright creepy at the beginning, Ringu all over again. God, I remember how that film terrified the crap out of me x__X But then a very cheesy purification scene. Could've done that without pink sparkly bubbles xP |

| I wanted the well scene to be scarier >.< It kind of reminded me of The Ring (Ringu). Crazy stuff, man. |
 |
| This woman was really poor. I pity her. |
| At least in this arc they didn't play up any "mystery" so I can't really complain about it having a predictable culprit or anything, like with the first arc. Still, this was fairly predictable and cookie-cutter. It was actually more promising in the first two episodes, when the doll was like "Tell anyone about me and I'll kill you." There was nothing so sinister in this episode. Just a stock tortured spirit who wanted her baby. |

| lol at mi's shirt exotic emporium |
| this is so great before bedtime :D very entertaining... 5/5 |

| Pretty good ending of the arc. But the voice of the woman who was calling Tomiko was really horrendous. >_< |
| Sorry for my English ^^ |
| Yeah, that was a so-so arc. |

| Decent arc. Episode seemed like it was inspired by 'The Ring/Ringu' with the well and all that. Wasn't expecting the sparkly ending there lol |
| Naru is such a badass. No fear at all. Overall, I thought this chapter was much better than the first one, obviously. I didn't like the purification but whatever, maybe it will get better later on! xD |
 |
| So Tomiko was really kidnapped and killed by the old man? Eeew.. pervert. Looking forward to watch the next case! |
| At the beginning of this arc when they started talking about poltergeists and PK I thought they were just going to repeat the idea of the first episode, so I didn’t get into the story as quickly at first. At first believed it was the step Mother was behind this, or perhaps the little girl’s Mother was dead and communicating to her through the doll, that she was jealous that her daughter had a new Mother. But I was glad when the story turned out to have more substance to it and it was actually past spirits from the house. I didn’t mind the purification scene, it was sweet but I agree there was a huge dissimilarity to how the story started with the creepy doll. |
 |
| Naru this Naru that. Oh look, Naru is coming down the stairs. Naru! Oh that was Naru in my dream. *wakes up* Naru! Look it's Naru. Naru, where you going? Naru is back! Naru? Naru! Naru? Naru! |
| Man, that episode was good, and again we got so much information related to spirits and stuff ^^ I love that, because this was my only reason for starting this anime. I was so into the anime for some time, that I could barely stay in one place :0 But to be honest, this episode wore me out for real, no matter how this may sound. I felt like wanting to give up on the 2nd episode. I think I'm gonna take a break from this show(but this time it won't be because of how boring was the first arc's ending). This is a good thing about anime, btw. I'm gonna watch something relieving now o_o. |
  |
| A well under the house he looks almost like the ring! Good episode the ending was actually quite sweet! |
 |
| Another arc complete. Like the previous, not that mind blowing, but I had some fun watching it so 3.5+/5. I like stories with a team vs. opponent kind of thing so this isn't too bad. Zump said: Well, this is one less show I'll be watching. What started out as a painfully mediocre series with cookie-cutter plots* and stock characters** became downright offensive and intolerable by the sixth episode. You don't end a story on a deus ex machina and then explain said deus ex machina via a clunky explanation. That is NOT how you tell a story. It's my understanding that the author who wrote the original novels also wrote The Twelve Kingdoms. I trust that it is a much more satisfying and well-written work? *Possessed dolls? Nope! Never seen that plot before! **the annoying bubbly schoolgirl, the bland bishonen who knows more than anyone else, the cool guy ("Monk"), the snob who's not as good as she thinks she is, the Rei Ayanami-esque creepy girl who also has no personality, the foreigner who speaks with a funny accent and has blonde hair to remind viewers that he's foreign, etc. Good points, but I'll keep watching for now. |
| Somewhat corny way to end it but oh well. |
 |
| Naru acting like a boss again.. hahaha. |
| in a way Naru is like Naoki from Itazura na Kiss, & even he got a wife so i bet Mai will be like Kotoko who accepts him the way he is, its good series |
| I hoped tomiko wasn't killed but unfortunately she was. Made me so sad. :'( one of the sadest moment in anime history was when she was kidnapped. </3 I really pity her mother. 😢 and the ending of the episode was too simple. I hoped it to be better but luckily every spirit was set free. |

| Whenever Mai flips out like a crazy bitch, I cringe. John is slowly growing on me. His Australian voice in the dub is glorious. Could have been a better end to the arc after the strong previous episode but hey it was better than the first arc. 7.5/10 |

| started off very well, but ended kinda lame. though, this was still a very good arc. 8/10 for this case |
 |
| Not so creepy, the woman was ofc creepy, but the episode as a whole wasn't. Anyway, glad that everything turned out well in the end. |

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| Watching this at 1AM on a dark rainy night sure made it more creepy. The well really set the tone if you have The Ring, but I was expecting the Mother to be more aggressive. |

 |
| It looks like the kid drowned and the mother committed suicide because she thought her child was kidnapped due to her missing. The ball must've fallen in the water and she fell in the pond trying to get it. I highly doubt the mother would spot someone kidnapping her child and that person would not only be fast enough to run away with the kid, but also go back to throw her body in their pond for the hell of it. The vision Mai saw down in the well was most likely just the mother's eternal nightmare rather than the actual events that took place. |
|
| I'm glad they didn't pull a Scooby-Doo and reveal that all the mysterious goings-on were simply caused by human shenanigans. |

on 
| This arc was far greater than the last one. Glad I stuck through it. Way less cringe. |

| It looks like there's more to Naru than just being a professional ghost hunter. It's good that there's an option to let grieving ghosts rest in peace but it's a bit of an issue if that spirit killed that many children even if it was just looking for its child. I wonder if Mai's dreams will help her again later on. |
 |
| This second story was way better than the first. |
| This arc was better when she was a doll, though it was a nice send off overall. |
