| I swear she was scarier when she was alive then when she was a ghost. Probably more so than the Manga ghosts. Then again human interaction and unexpectedly inhuman appearances could be what makes the difference. "Yandere" Moms are something else entirely. |

| Ngl, Miko kind of pissed me off with how she is handling all of this. I mean, a lot of people are being put into danger and she isn't really doing much. I know she's scared and all but her hesitation is kind of getting old by now. I love her, she's gorgeous and cute and all but honestly, she hasn't changed much from episode 1. She did bravely take out Zen's psycho mom towards the end but honestly, the miko fox girls are the highlight of the show for me so far. They are just too freaking cool. |

| 臭い- |
| that scene on the roof after glasses guy left & the wind blowing miko's clothes and hair, plus miko telling zen to adopt the cat both lead me to think that glasses guy is the one killing the cats hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm just my theory though, idk how plausible that actually is honestly feels like zen's character has more depth than any of the 3 main girls - 11 episodes into this show |

| Zen's mother is a bitch. Good thing that shitty mother was eliminated! But no more protection since that was the last one. Miko needs to go drop another 5-yen at the shrine to refill! |

| Suspicious. I am still very suspicious. If the professor really is a good person, I'm happy. If not, even though Miko got this monster out of the professor's body, he is the biggest monster in the show so far. Well, now we have to wait for the last episode. |
| Immediately when I saw the mother everything made sense |
 |
| looks like i guess Miko-chan used-up all her chances huh...this gonna be real dangerous for her! damn! only 1 ep left!! i hope it doesn't go downhill... 4/5. |
 |
| Well I had the wrong idea about Zen till now but that was intentionally misleading before so not my fault. What a crazy bitch of a mother. That was admirable of Miko to use up her last divine intervention to help spare Hana from getting sick and to try to free Zen from the weight of his mother's spirit on him. But oh no only one ep left. |

| Had a hunch the show is trying to do misdirection with Zen's story, and it came real right in this episode. Good job fooling me up near the end. Last episode left as expected climax with the final boss. Good fun with this anime, hoping the last finalize it up well, gonna miss Miko. |
| Zen was misunderstood all this time. He was burdened by the guilt of his mother. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I'm impressed at the level of suspense this show has maintained. Looking forward to a satisfying ending |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| I can't wait to see what happens after the third time |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Episode after episode throwing a huge amount of not-so-subtle hints about the teacher being a cat killer just to reveal it was all a misunderstanding in the end? Yeah, not really sure what to think of that. Hard to call it "good/clever writing" when the show was practically forcing me to misjudge the guy. Anyways, leaving that aside... why can't Miko just return to the shrine and pray to "refill" her protection spells? Janethan23 said: I don't know if I should be satisfied or not about the fan service being absent for most of the episodes now. Huh... satisfied? I mean, this series was never meant to feature such amount of fanservice to begin with. |
| This series has genuinely been the pleasant surprise hidden gem of the season. It has been a long time since I have seen a horror anime that is truly unsettling without being overly edgy with gore or too over the top to the point of being cringe. And this is perhaps the only horror-comedy that does both parts well. Any other series that has tried to do this only adds in the comedy at the expense of the horror being embarrassingly stupid, so they poke fun at it since they know nobody will take it seriously. But Mieruko-chan's comedy comes from the gimmick of her not being allowed to "notice" the ghosts, which is a brilliant subversion on the horror genre. In fact it is shocking how well the chemistry between the horror elements and comedy elements are able to play on each other. Before the Zen-sensei arc, I had this series rated at a 6/10-- well worth the time investment, had a unique premise, but that's about it. It wasnt until this episode that I realized, wow, this show is actually really good and deserves at least a 7/10. |
~my list
| From when I found the manga chapter of Miko deciding not to give Zen the cat years ago, I've always thought that Zen is a bad guy lol TT that was so misleading and so well done. When Zen re-appeared the tone of the series became different in a very much good way Miko decided to use the last time to let the ghost following Zen be dealt with. The creepiness visual meter of the recent ghosts are very high. Be free, Zen! But I wonder what will happen with the shrine gods afterwards |
| haha what a misunderstanding, but damn why use up her last chance for protection, she should just let that big boobed bimbo suffer until they get their regular teacher back, eating a lot is good for more growth around da breasts anyways haha. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I take back everything that i said bad about the professor, damn what a bait this was! I mean, it all made me think like that, i guess it was hard for everyone to perceive him as a good person that takes care of cats lol But Zen's story was really good, a little hardcore but it is what it is, glad that this issue is solved. Now i wonder what happens when she uses her 3 protections... |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| As expected, Zen was not a bad person, quite the contrary, he is a good person. Also, what he had to go through when he was younger because of his mother is very sad. Miko redeemed himself for misjudging the Zen by using the third aid he had to get rid of the monsters that were chasing him. |

| This flipped the table on me for real, what a twist that I never expected. |
| NGL the twist was a bit predictable but I think was the best decision imo, and the last minutes were intense |
| Good girl Miko, wasting her last bit of protection to help the teacher she blamed in vain all this time. Hyper-custody is really a scary thing for a man, not the easiest kind of psychological terror especially if it continues after the death of its origin. I want to see a somewhat happy ending and at least some explanation of the fights between Light and Darkness that began immediately after the visit to the temple. |
 |
| That opening scene was a big "Asian parents be like..." moment with the whole "98%? Is that it?" |
| Love this episode. I adore anime that are willing to let their MC be wrong and fundamentally misunderstand a situation. Learning about cat-teacher's background was great and heart wrenching, and it was wonderful to see our MC grow and sacrifice on his behalf. Big fan. |
 |
| This series sure knows how to throw in some good twists, never expected Zen to not be the cat killer. I feel really bad for him now, terrorised by his mother even after she died. |
 |
| Ok the winner of the scariest design after all these episode is: the teacher's mom (human). Fr, the "ghost" mom isn't as scary as the human version. |
 |
| Aww Zen, sorry for judging a book by its cover and violently hating you the past few episodes lmfao |
 |
| Haha... so, it turned out to be just like a shoujo manga thing where sensei needed to be saved and wasn't actually evil. |
| I WAS FOOLED. Looks like the cats were stilled murdered and just hung onto the last person who found them who happens to be the teacher. And since this is the third time it's the last time she has the guardian protection. Wonder if she can just repray again at the shrine to refresh it lol |
| Wow did that take a turn, wasn’t expecting that at all. Since the cat spirits were all on him, I assumed he was bad. Never judge a book by its cover huh. Glad that Miko helped me out even though it meant that now she doesn’t have any backup but she not only saved Zen but Hana too, hopefully. Really good episode, now let’s see how this bring it all home. |
Vandelay Industries, this is George Can’t-Stand-Ya speaking, how may I assist you? |
| Damn, that's not good parenting. |
 |
| AHHHHHH, I made the mistake of judging a book by its cover again. Zen doesn't hate cats, his cat was killed by his monster, abusive mother whose husband betrayed her, and she directed that anger towards her kid. Poor Zen, he's not a bad guy but a victim of abuse. That big ghost is his dead mother. And Mie-chan used the third and final god attack, I wonder what would happen next. True friends protect and help each other. |
| Anime is fun. |
| Best episode so far! Not only sensei was innocent, that monster was his mother.. poor guy just wanted to hang out with friends and play with kitties but his mom was crazy |
| The final scene with his mother getting stopped could have had more power behind it, just felt a bit lacklustre. Honestly all the protection scenes have felt a bit lacking. |
 |
| Kind of what I expected didn’t think tho his past gonna be this sad. Hopefully his mother gonna suffer forever alone |
