This issue of the episode numbering hasn't been fixed yet? Dunno if I should update my list since it's already at 17 and this really is suppose to be episode 17.

Anyways, Kamiya Hiroshi!! This show's cast is really superb, be it main or supporting roles.
Episode was decent. Nothing special or bad. Next episode doesn't seem to be in the manga but Inugami started to move now so maybe it's some expounding again. He did get little screentime in the manga.

This was a really good ep!
I was SO scared for Natsumi! Glad she pulled through.
Lord Semba was just adorable.
Kurotabo is bad ass! I don't care if he IS a yokai...I'd date him in a heartbeat!!

Aah ah, I was hoping I wouldn't end up having an episode where I have conflicted opinions seeing how this happens to be my favourite 'sidequest' of the arc. On one hand, they way they handled the episode was really nice by showing Rikuo deploying his forces to look for Sodemogi. Again like previous episodes it really showed how the Nura clan operates in times of crisis with all the crows, Sanba-Garasu and even Neko-Ryouta's clan being used. But then comes my conflicted feelings for the other major part of the episode.

Overall I did like the episode though....

As VillettaIchihara said: "Kurotabo is bad ass" Good that some strong youkai are popping up since the final battle seems to be difficult. I really hope they continue this show with a second season or something, I think it has potential ^.^ Rikou <3

This episode is really nice,.kind of touching,.and Kamiya "the SHAFT guy" had made Lord Senba more saintly w/ his voice,.he fits perfectly.

As for next week,it looks like its Kubinashi's turn.I always wanted to see him fight. ^^

Totally agreed.

Disappointed; The ugly youkai died to easily. Wanted a prolonged fight between him and Katsura Kurotabo( his arm weapon(s) thing is so cool)

If this show shows character deaths in the upcoming episodes, I will definitely rate it higher.

They changed story a little what it was in manga, but still good episode. : ) I hope this anime getts 2nd seasons at least, becouse manga got like 2-3 more arcs after this one at the moment.

The problem is that Sodemogi is a weakling when battles are concerned (as proved by the former episode where he just started running away leaving the battling to his allies). He is good for cursing and such but for battles... he is too weak.

anyways, i really like the BGM used that started at 16:56 mark, it's very soothing and heart warming and as far as i can remember it is used in the summary episode in the Gyuuki x Rikuo scene after their fight.

Then it makes sense, though, Tamazuki seemed surprised by Sodemogi's defeat.

To me the preview seemed more like it was changing the location of the events, rather than a filler. I've been wondering how they would tie in the school setting for weeks now...

Wow they actually ran into a yokai for once!

It was sort of weird hearing Kamiya's voice as a deity and calling somebody else Natsume. I thought that the interaction with him was the enjoyable part of this episode.
However, Kuro is too bad ass because the battle sucked. 1 hit KO.

This episode was surprising in that it was extremely well-directed, atmospheric and developped a character which is usually not in the spotlight. Very nice episode overall.

I was hoping to see Rikuo in action though..... And Kuro's fight was too short and one-sided, but that hand thing is cool.

But i like this episode bcos of Lord Senba and Natsumi. It's really sweet..

I liked the manga version of this part better.
In the manga Natusmi's grandmother is the one that comes to pray for her granddaughter's recovery the same way Natsumi prayed so that her grandmother would recover when she fell ill.
The healing scene was better imo, using the paper crane as a symbol to heal Natsumi when in the anime version they just letted them hang on the shrine.

Sodemogi is a weakling but is kind of hard to catch, that's why Tamazuki was kind of 'surprised', he expected them to be weaker since Nurarihyon is not here anymore.

Also it isn't said yet but Kurotabo is one of the strongest youkai of the Nura clan, far stronger than current Night Rikuo.

He still used it to heal Natsumi. As far as I understand, people usually do leave offering on shrine's when praying to one of the Kami for something.

well imo, it is Natsumi herself that helped her recover, as Lord Senba have said, his power increases tremendously depending on the depth of faith a person has on him and with Natsumi still not forgetting him after all this years while others does (his shrine is damp, with almost no offerings and with him too small and in the brink of vanishing) surely have proved the depth of his faith to Lord Senba and the offerings of the rest of her friends just helped amplified what power Lord Senba that Natsumi had restored.

Fangirls even go crazy over disgusting yaoi parings.

The episode was good and i liked how we got a little more info on some of Rikuo's friends. Especially that girl was very neglected until now.
The guy with the hat and all those weapons in his sleeve really is powerful and cool.

So when are shit gonna hit the fan so we can see a full blown battle? I really want to see some of those demons using everything they have.

alright..umm/.dfjjfdhfudhfu
haha.

im a bit surprised that nobody mention any yaoi vibes or fanservice in this episode O_O.

on the other hand , this episode is quite decent considering kurotabo - swords- hand - (which is awesome!). still i dont know why but i gradually drop my score from 10 to 7(now) as im watching the episode further and further. i just can hope the haremness- would disappear in this amazing shounen anime :/

looking forward for the next episode.

A weak god that will disappear if no one believes in him, can miraculously heal anything with the power of paper cranes. Amazing, this one comes close to the tf2 medi gun.

Still within acceptable losses? I wonder what their backup plan is. They can no longer destroy shrines.
