| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, Tora is such a funny guy trying to turn on Ushio during their time working together. I felt bad for the girls because they got involved in the supernatural horror stuff. Good episode though. Liked the comedy and drama in this. Ushio's selfless nature is quite something and I think Tora really saw a bit of that in him.  |
 |
| Maybe I am just too easy to please, but I really like the humor. I'm really loving the OP as well. |
| Seems Tora is starting to think of Ushio as a partner :) |
| Great second episode! Awesome story and we got to see some skinship, only a bit though :( Wondering if there're others like Ushio. |
 |
| - Ushio likes painting even though he sucks at it - Tora takes an earnest interest into history. These two goofballs are weird |
| Decent episode. So it's gonna be episodic for a while huh?Not that I'm complaining tho. The bits of action were cool. |
 |
| Really loved that episode too. |
 |
| Another really good episode :) |
| yup, i approve of this anime |
| :3 |
| This is why I like Shounen anime :) |
 |
| Very fun episode again. Really like the chemistry between the two MC's. I'm curious on how they pacing will go and how much they'll adapt from the manga. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| I think what will make this series shine will be the dynamic between the characters and seeing their chemistry with one another grow Ushio and Tora continues to make me fall in love with their personalities and if this series continues to showcase their everyday exploits like this, this series will truly be something great The art and animation were great and I loved the fight scenes too....Also I knew that the dark haired girl liked Ushio xD |
| For now it's perfection, I don't have other words to describe it. |
| Still love the opening and I hope we will someday see Ushio and Tora as real partners I love to just think about those 2 figthing together seriously! |
| Lucky to be alive. I wish they could put more budget on animation, still good nonetheless. Anyway, still not sure about Ushio's VA. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| fantastic tora going crazy over the tv was great |
| Absolutely loving this so far. Old-school feel, action-packed, good character chemistry and a kickass OP. Can't ask for more! |
 |
| Very good episode, the chemistry between Ushio and Tora is great. I start to really love this show, I was always a huge fan of Youkai. I also love the character design, there is nothing better than the 80s and 90s drawing style. |
 |
| everything for this episode is perfect sound,track,development animation overall a complete episode,though my hunger from kekkai sensen is still not quenched |
| Great episode and i really love the OP it fits this anime so good |
| Another really good episode. I feel like Ushio and Tora's relationship will be kind of like Shinichi and Migi from Parasyte, where they don't really get along at first, but then eventually care about each other. Anyway, can't wait for the next episode |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Hahaha, I cannot stop comparing this to Bleach. Either Bleach was cliche or had some influence from this series. (Tatsuki & Orihime, club helper, etc.) Anyways, it was funny how everyone caught him on camera. Liking the main duo. XD And the ED is better the 2nd episode around. :D |
| The way they draw his nose annoys me. It looks like a rock sculpture. |
 |
| Solid episode, literally. Tora is like a slightly more mean Madara from Natsume Yuujinchou, or vise versa. |
 |
| Awesome ep. Really loving Tora and Ushio’s interactions and both of them are great as individual characters too. Esp Tora. So lol |
 |
| My favorite anime of the season. Honestly, how both of them are becoming close and how they fight all the time kills me :D. I almost cried when he broke the TV and after that how they fought, and Ushio looked like he was doing exercises. I love it. Damn. I am glad there will be a second season. |
| This really feels like something i would eagerly watch on toonami as a kid, its so fun so far. Really love the dynamic between ushio and tora |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| It was an alright episode. It looks like Tora's character developed from the last episode, which is nice. Why didn't the policemen follow Ushio when he was clearly trespassing? Also, that spear acting on it's own was such an asspull. It looks like the show is going to follow the "monster of the week" formula, which I'm not particularly a fan of. Hopefully it will introduce a more linear plotline later on. Overall 3/5 |
| Haha this ep was excellent. The dynamic between Ushio and Tora is great and they're easily going to start working together more. Animation is cool, funny and serious is working well for the show. 7/10. |
| way better than the 1st episode 9/10 |
| Although the comedy stills feel offbeat (to me at least), the action is solid. Beast Ushio was pretty badass! Does the spear have a will of its own, or did it move because its current owner was in a pinch? Tora is the best tsundere of this season. I like how he took Ushio's side almost instinctively. They make a great pair together. Decent episode. I assume this'll take an episodic route for the first couple of episodes before diving into the main plot. |

Drake1000 said: Meh so far I'm really not seeing what's so legendary about this shonen, it's going a cliche monster of the week route which I really don't like. Agreed, i'm dropping it here because it's obviously not for me. Nothing against people who do like it it's just not my thing. Won't be adding to my dropped list or rating it low, seems unfair to do so this early on, don't want to skew the overall site rating of it. |
 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |
| lol^ |
 |
| Started to like this anime :D |
| This is good! A tsundere one with a legendary spear and a monster buddy! Can I ask more? I'm really loving this anime. |
 |
| I started reading the manga because of how the pilot impressed me. Not only has the manga entranced me, but it makes me really appreciate what Mappa is doing and how they're adapting it. It has all the positives of a 90's style shounen work without many of the pitfalls of the older artstyle. And honestly, while the voice acting is great as a whole, there's no doubt that Rikiya Koyama is fucking amazing here. Hearing him as Tora is extremely enjoyable. Unexpectedly, I'm really looking forward to this show more and more. |
| Okay, that was better than the first episode as well as the original OVA episode. Still don't like the humor, but the action was way more exciting to watch. Can't defend the monster-of-the-week format since I'm not a big fan of it myself (as well as in the director's other works), but Ushio and Tora go through enough development to make it watchable IMO. |

| Just as a quick thing about the format/pacing: from what I read, this 39 episode plan will adapt the whole manga, 333 chapters worth, which necessitates the doing away (mostly) of the MOTW format except when necessary for the main plot. We may have some here and there but I reckon it'll be more high octane as a whole. I also read that the mangaka also worked with Mappa to choose the chapters that will be adapted. |
| Can't skip the op *__* quite the refreshing episode |

Are they for sure adapting the whole manga? Cuz if so that's good and bad. |

Are they for sure adapting the whole manga? Cuz if so that's good and bad. Lemme rephrase it, the anime will show the conclusion. The mangaka wants the ending to be shown, so he helped cut stuff and fuse other things in order to get the main plot in. So it won't adapt all 333 chapters, but it will cover the necessary ground. I feel that this should work, seeing as (based on where I am now) there's a lot of stuff that can be cut out. It's not nearly as episodic as Conan and the cut stuff won't make it seem as bad as Yamada-kun was (to me) but we'll see. I have enough faith in the author and Mappa that this will work out. |
