Oh Tora in a nutshell~


Another intense episode.
I feel like this show has really picked up the pacing and both Ushio and Tora are fighting for others but their own survival as well. Ushio seems to have some trouble controlling his own powers though so I think that is a bit of a problem..

Still good episode, really loved the expression of story. Also, I think that was Hakumen no Mono's voice or at least sounded like it this episode? Interesting.

Glad that the pacing was back to normal this week and as usual, the intensity was real

But man the emotions in this episode was probably the strongest for me personally like everything from the feels moments to all of the happy ones was just really great

I loved everything in this episode and I really loved how menacing they made Hakumen and other stuff.....This was probably without a doubt my new favorite episode of the series

But damn that cliffhanger tho, holy fuck O_O

Hahahaha, next episode!!!!! But b4 that, this episode was one big trill ride. From beginning till end. Damn, those fights, bonds and wow, something to really look forward to. For a 1900s series (not saying anythings wrong with 1900s series) this is awesome. Why didn't this get the credit it deserved from back then?

A pretty good and intense episode this week.

But wow, next episode looks like it's going to even more thrilling with Ushio turning into a monster. I thought that wouldn't happen until much later, but I'm interested in seeing how they end up turning him back.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Izuna best character of 2015.

HOLY SHIT THEY NAILED THE BEAST TRANSFORMATION. If I hadn't read the manga I would have probably passed out from that nasty-ass cliffhanger.

Intense and excellent episode. Pacing was great, kept me in it, can really feel the emotions throughout that rescue mission. At times it felt as tho they were playing Samurai Warriors in his body lol.
And that end... seems like he's transforming into a monster.. cant wait for next week!

I thought the episode was pretty boring with everything going as convenient as usual but then Youkai Ushio happened, hopefully that leads into some interesting things.
I'm glad he didn't just get away with it without turning into a monster.

That's some cliffhanger. Let's hope Tora does his bit to get him back.

Why did not surprise me that precisely Nagare was the only one watching?

About the episode, my god that ending. Ushio's transformation looks creepy as hell, that cliffhanger.

Glad that they returned to the normal pace, the last episode was too rushed.

It wasn't until the last half of the OP that I realized it was a new one lol. The new OP/ED aren't bad.

That ending though! The transformation is kinda creepy. Let's wait and see how Tora gets Ushio out of this one.

This has got to be the best episode by far. Very intense and exciting and a lot better pacing than previous episodes. Tora pretending to be scared was hilarious. I love the specific OST that sounds heroic when they were in the eye. Izuna's a pretty cool fox spirit and Ushio didn't want him to die. That cliffhanger though; Ushio's transformation at the end was pretty crazy, he looks like a real demon now and those sound effects. xD

This was really close to the manga and really brought it to life. If we had anything cut, it was perhaps a little bit of Ushio's first encounter with Jun in the previous episode as I think they had a couple of chapters together before the brother showed up.
Please don't feed the trolls!

LMFAO I was like "what?!" When tora said "listen to me if you want to save your brother" guess he must of told her to strip butt naked and have water explode then end it with a onii-chan kiss of power but instead it was just a eye stare

It's actually not that random given that it's supposed to be ritual cleansing. Makes sense in context to be honest.

Removing the usual defects of which has been discussed many times in the past, the episode as a whole is interesting. Sometimes I also caught by surprise the narrative, I did not expect that the character of Jun was given powers like his brother. Drawings and animations beautiful, if only it were not so fast in the narrative rhythm. Oh well!
The finish is scary, scary!

It was a cleansing ritual. Washing yourself is a purifying ritual in Shinto.
