Guess no one watched this RAW. Sad episode! Minei is dead! Her priest gets killed in a ambush by gangsters! Damn! Yeah life is unfair and so is anime to some viewers. Hey, U don't know about any of you guys but Minei was hot! She had the body of mature let's just say with big big


Rest in peace Minei!

R.I.P. Minei and her priest.


I still find it hard to swallow that they killed Minei. She was a good Shikabane even if her sin was bad. THey could have given her another priest as contractor!

She didn't want another priest, because that priest could only have been Ouri. Apparently, Shikabane Hime can/should only make contracts with people they have an emotional connection with. Ouri was the...only candidate who was qualified, and she wanted to keep him out of the shikabane hunting life.

Aaah~ She earns points even with her true death...Minai!

On another note, that was pretty surprising how Isagi ended up,

Definitely looking forward to that contracting plus I want to see how it's done. Her names is Minai cause the Japanese tend to speak quite fast sometimes to be honest. I will edit if her name is Minai.

Funimation has subbed episode 8. Busy now, so I'll watch it later.

It was pretty good. Although the Shikabane Hime can't seem to stand up to Ouri for some reason. Still, good thing the kid's learning how to deal with the undead.

And I have to congratulate Funimation for releasing subs week by week. Too bad there's a 3-4 week wait, but they still try.

i wonder whats gonna happen to ouri's brother, because we all know that he's gonna die or retire or something in order for him and makina to forge a contract. they kind of ruined the tension when they announced the 2nd season before the first even started lol

Ouri seems to be making good friends with all the Shikabane Hime. IMO, this episode pretty much killed that option. The second season can always be more of the first. They'll probably defeat the errant monk at the end of Aka, and have a new baddie in Kuro.

Cool, finally I can watch the Funmation videos. Never thought about going to their HP instead checking all their video channels where they are stream Shikabane Hime xD
The series gets more interesting with every episode. I had some doubts in the beginning but they are gone by now. Good entertainment by Gainax.

The animation and chara-design dropped dramatically in this episode but at least they know how to kill a character. It was a very good ending for Minai and a deserved one for her priest. Since the script is developping well and fast, and the atmosphere's still keeping up, I must say I'm tempted to raise my rating for this series to 9, but I won't do that for now, especially since the animation is not so consistent.

As kisami said, Oori becoming an anti-hero is a tempting and realistic theory (and the black cat he often sees tend to confirm this), but that would make the Kougon cult a good organization, which at this point, I'm pretty sure it isn't. Just because Oori will probably go against all the other characters of the show (except Makina) doesn't necessarily means he's an anti-hero, if all the cast is wrong ;)

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I though the animation was below par in this episode too. It was a good episode and I'm sad Minai died. Ouri will defenetily have a contract with Makina and I have a feeling his brother will die.

Good episode.
The second half was unexpected for me.

BTW: Calling Sumitori was a good idea of Oori. Seems like he isn't as useles as he was in the earlier episodes.

The nice thing about Ouri is that he started out useless, but unlike your common fare protagonist, he gradually wisens up. Specifically, Ouri appears to have a talent for 'taming' or at least calming Shikabane.

Ehh, this episode is ok, I guess I won't actually like an episode until we address alot of Oori's character flaws...or just put his character into perspective with this world, because it's really bothering me that, no matter how lax he is about these things, that he isn't asking any questions, but wants to help everyone.

I wanted Oori to contract Minai since she was pretty much the best character in this entire show. Makina bores me to tears with her speeches and bad voice acting.

I still don't get why and how this got licensed? Did Funimation get it for free or something?

Just common fan service on purpose of her I would think logically.

Aw man that stunk, I liked Minai and was kind of hoping she would make the pact with Ouri(plot twist) oh well, she shall be missed.

Ouri had a bad 24 hours, using a friend to stop a monster then avoiding him, then losing a friend because of some punks.

;;;___________________;;;

*sighs* I was hoping they would bring her back later on.. but they didn't.. *sniffles*

On a lighter note, Isaki getting maced was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. When he got dragged away, I thought they were just going to beat him up. But when I saw he was dead, I was like, "Hooo... shiznit.. Damn.. *gasp* What about Minai!?!?!?"

I'm glad they didn't do any crap like making Oori make a contract with minai. it would have been too perfectly convenient.

that said, I do feel sorry for her. she didn't rly deserve everything that happened to her.

**oh also, I'm glad to see that the plot may actually be going somewhere.

Out of all of the characters to kill off, why did it have to be one of the Shikabane Hime? And the most innocent and lovable one at that. As much as I wanted that jerk of a monk to die, it was not worth the price of Minai's life. She will be missed...

It seems that Keisei is doing much better now. His desire to lick the feet of a bishojo proves that!!
And OH DAMN!!! Minai...NOOOOOOO!!!! I was in tears. I really liked Minai...her time was all to brief. I'm glad her bastard contract monk was killed, but I REALLY dislike how she had to suffer and die because of it. Being the good hime that she was, she remained loyal to him until the very end.
And WTH did Isaku mean when he said he's not like the other monks? He's right, he wasn't like the other monks...he was 10x worse!!!

RIP Minai...I miss you already.

Kind of sad Minai got killed off, but it couldn't be helped.
Ouri should stop butting in though, they could've finished her off earlier, which would've caused her to suffer less.

Best episode until now. I still hate Ouri though. His actions just don't make sense.

Oh, and the battle between the loli with the hammer and Minai was pretty cool.

I agree, her seiyuu is terrible, just like Ouri's.
And I was wondering the same thing. I think they really did get it for free, hehe.

Im sure as hell if they changed the plot to Minai being his hime, they could've made an independent plot from the manga saving the anime from its dreadful second season and it wouldve been a hell of a lot better alternate than the fuck up at the end of the anime series. I'd rather watch Minai be the main hime in the anime adaptation
Feels like losing all five senses &

Wow, that was really sad. I can't believe she really is dead for good now. She became one of my favorite characters in ep. 7, and then next episode, she dies. That's messed up.

This series has ended up being better than I expected. I definitely didn't think i'll be this sad about a character dying in this series.
