| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Didn't see a topic for this ep yet, so I thought I'd start one. More Youkai action going on; this series is looking up. Love the way the cherry blossoms are animated. EDIT: Youkai Rikuo is a baddass :D |

| Tomokazu Sugita as Zen XD Is it me or does the background music at around 11:00 sound like harry potter? |

minzey said: Tomokazu Sugita as Zen XD I know! I was so happy to hear that. This show really doesn't feel like a Shounen Jump show at all. I mean, the shounen elements are there but it feels more serene like Rurouni Kenshin or something. I knew the snake-head was going to betray the guy just cause it was a snake and stuff. IHope we get more fighting like we did with Night Rikuo in the future. |
 |
| haha, this episode was also awesome btw, the ED theme is just win |
 |
| Rikuo's yokai hair strikes me as odd. Also this ep was pretty good. |
 |
| Didn't like how the episode ended introducing a new student and narrator pretty much telling that she has some sort of secret. The rest I enjoyed though. |
| So this ep has more action than the last ep? More Night Rikuo? Looks like it will be fun to watch. |

| Rikou=shota of the season |
| Yuki-Onna=Loli of the season :P |

BLeakXBuRSTX19 said: Yuki-Onna=Loli of the season :P putting in spoilers since its somewhat off topic I haven't read the manga that far but I do hope there are some serious fighting scenes and not some short hack and slash with him pretty much winning every battle. |
| Good episode. Seeing Night Rikuo was awesome. The ending was kind of weird though. Introducing a new character at the end like that seemed strange. |
 |
| Pretty decent episode, not as many changes as last ep either. Anyway, now my 2 least favourite chapters are animated, and it only gets better from here. Much better. Paul said: There is plenty. Expect maybe 1 more like todays, and that's about it. I haven't read the manga that far but I do hope there are some serious fighting scenes and not some short hack and slash with him pretty much winning every battle. garfield15 said: This show really doesn't feel like a Shounen Jump show at all.

The manga turns very shouneny later on, but still manages to keep it's feel. It will start to change in the later half of this season (if it is 24 eps), but will still show more shounen elements and some good battles before it. Sisato said: Indeed. But it was either that or drag out the first part... But anyway, that narrator can GTFO. The ending was kind of weird though. Introducing a new character at the end like that seemed strange. |

| Oh, Lord Zen!! And...how is that hot Night Master Rikuo got tucked away in the body of a 12 year old? It's just not right!! LOL! |
 |
| I'm enjoying this show more than I thought I would, tbh. Let's hope it stays at this level or gets better. Zen is kind of a babe. :3 |
| Everyone having high lights in the manga didn't really bother me but seeing as 2/3 of the cast has them in the anime it kinda got on my nerves.. Anyways yeah can't wait for next week..I'm happy, finally some real action without making the entire screen turning black or zooming in so far on a person you can't see anything else. Also had to reassure my sexuality when they showed night Rikou. :o |
 |
| I seriously can't fucking stand the main character. Such a stupid ans selfish brat... Also the fight scene was so pathetically animated... This episode was even worse than the first and as I haven't read the manga I have nothing to compare it to, so I am going to wait a few more episodes and see how it turns out. |
| Looking for subs, can't find em... :| |

FYI, Kenshin was published in Shounen JUMP just like NuraMago. So that doesn't say anything lol.... Stuffs like Yu-gi-oh, One Piece and HxH used to be found in the same issue as Kenshin. In fact the last chapter of Kenshin was in the same issue as the first chapter of Naruto. |

| Hmm Sake and some blood, so it wont be kiddie graded, thats nice. Im getting KHR flashes all over again just like Tsuna, and again Night Rikuo is amazing. When I heard Zen was Sugita was overjoyed. This is a nice shounen, its the same formula but I cant really describe that different vibe it gives. |
| Decent episode. Yuki Onna still makes this show for me, and a large part of that is because of Horie Yui. So far, this seems to be a better shonen than Kekkaishi(currently airing on Adult Swim), since that one is pretty much about making cakes. |
| Zen was an interesting character, so I enjoyed the part with him and Night Rikuo. The rest of the episode, however...still average. I really hope it gets more interesting as time goes on, because I don't want to drop this yet it's not really pulling me in. :x |
| I thought Zen was going to be a new Gokudera "Third!"... i didn't enjoy this episode as much, mostly because i expected this to be a carefree type of show. Bit off there but i guess learning more about the Yokai is good as well. Mormegil said: Decent episode. Yuki Onna still makes this show for me, and a large part of that is because of Horie Yui. So far, this seems to be a better shonen than Kekkaishi(currently airing on Adult Swim), since that one is pretty much about making cakes. Agreed. More Yuki please. The one thing Kekkaishi did well was the interaction between characters and the plot.... But yeah they had a few episodes about cake... Hopefully they can get the same level in that respect, but for characters i really like the cast so far. |

| Yui-Onna errm Yuki-Onna is my motivation watching this...<3 I miss "Mame Daifuku", i hope she has another cute words in this series though |
 |
| as under the radar that this series is, it's surprisingly very interesting. comedy is there, eye candy (not echi), action, and a overused but compelling storyline. i can only see it getting better ^ ^ 5/5 |
| Well....it's a vast improvement from episode one (Episode 1 left me completely lost, this ep not so much) but it still needs a little more work in some areas (a bit more character development maybe? or more dramatic action? --not too much though) *shrug* before it's totally awesomesauce. And do totally want to see more Youkai Rikuo. What's with the backflash thing in the beginning though? was that something that happened in the past or present day? That, I was confused --though I guess doesn't really matter in the big picture...but still... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Meh, I still hate the human form of the main character. The whole helpless but brave trait is annoying as hell. Mediocre anime imo, but Gin's voiceactor :OOOOOO! |
 |
u2blah said: Meh, I still hate the human form of the main character. The whole helpless but brave trait is annoying as hell. agreed. But at least night rikuo is amazing. i think it makes up for human rikuo...or does it tick me of even more that that hot thing is in that anoying kid =.='' zen and yuki-onna are seriously the best! >.< this seems to be going good :D i like this anime (n.n)b |
| Wow, Tomokazu Sugita... The cast of this show is so fabulous! The show itself has such Inuyasha pacing though... It's like watching a shounen from 10-15 years ago in terms of a lot of things, including quality. That Harry Potter soundtrack is getting to me... |
| I somehow started to like Inuyasha's new haircut. |
 |
| This is so bland and basic that I'm finding it incredibly boring, but the voicecast and moe make this awesome nonetheless. |

That's why I was comparing the two and said that it felt more serene like Kenshin, the other serene Jump manga that I didn't feel was like one at all. |

BLeakXBuRSTX19 said: Rikou=shota of the season You misspelled Alois. I love Zen-sama! Sugita fits the part perfectly. I totally melted at Fukuyama's voice when Rikuo was all youkai. =D I love how this is just another Yakuza anime but with youkai. Reminds me of KHR! in that respect, but of course, there is a different atmosphere (and less bishounen) New Girl has such a cute dialect! |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Anyone else feel like the pacing for this episode out of place? Anyways, Yorozuya Gin-san(oops I meant Zen-san) was as what I had expected from the manga to be so no complaints. Same with Yura. Tsurara FTW!!(although I feel sorry for her since I know Rikuo will most likely pick Kana) |
obliviouz said: Me, but the general gist of the story is there . It's not far from the pacing of the manga so I don't mind it too much.Anyone else feel like the pacing for this episode out of place? Sugita Tomokazu as Zen is definitely a good pick and did a good job here. The story should pick up now with Yura entering. Her voice is kinda different from what I pictured but oh well. People complaining about the narrator making Yura suspicious should realize that she had something going on with her from the OP and ED song in ep1. Not a bad start but it has to get better... obliviouz said: This. As for Rikuo's pick, it's hard to tell, even from the manga. A lot's been going on so the picking will have to wait. But let's see in the anime, I hear the director will place Kana more in the spotlight in the extension of the next arcs(as a matter of fact, she's present most of the time in the first 2 episodes :3)Tsurara FTW!!(although I feel sorry for her since I know Rikuo will most likely pick Kana) |
 |
| One of if not the best new show of the season! I'm glad we got to see Rikuo's other for again. He's so much cooler! I liked the new character Zen too, I hope he comes back. It was nice he got to see the yokai form of Rikuo. Next week looks like a yokai hunter girl comes. Based on the ending with her having the shikigami paper doll thing. |
 |
| Yuki-Onna is cool. Any objections? No? Thought so. ; D And.. "Tsurara". Reminds me of "Tsuruya". I completely approve. Also, something that I don't approve of, is Rikuo's hair when he's Night-Rikuo. It like.. Stands.. By itself. It's creepy xD. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |

Also, something that I don't approve of, is Rikuo's hair when he's Night-Rikuo. It like.. Stands.. By itself. It's creepy xD. Reminds you of his grandfather but with hair, doesn't he? And Yuki-oona (Tsurara) needs more scenes (-_-) |

SirensRequiem said: Rikuo's yokai hair strikes me as odd. Also this ep was pretty good. yeah, i wish his hair wasn't all weird pointy like that ? it looks like he got shocked by lightning.. |
| I want more youkai Rikuo~ Anyway, the episode was ok, I loved it when Rikuo was taken over by his youkai self and saved Zen~ |
