Another anime-original episode that makes the arc better then its manga counterpart IMO.
Also, Yuki was in quite bad mood through the whole episode. Seems like they are building her up for something.

So was anyone else surprised to find Kappa was kick ass? Hmm...

Well i don't see how bringing his friends to the most dangerous spot in the city will help protect them, but i don't think they will learn his identity either so.. =/

Natto-Kozo is adorable!
Kappa is so cute, and such a bad ass! That was an awesome but brief fight with Gangi-Kozo.

If they are left alone, the Shikoku youkai may attack them just because they are Rikuo's friends.

Yay there was some Tsurara cuteness...
however, Rikuo is such a loser for not reacting to her overly-cute flag/fan trick.

If he's going to be the third heir, I think he should be able to manage a loving relationship in any crisis. Her eyes should always come first.

I thought something was off with this episode. Then I realized that this wasn't in the manga. I keep asking myself if I forgot this part in the manga since I remembered the part of Grandpa and Natto Kozo is in the chapter 30+. Seems they're gonna go for a big buildup for the final battle. Let's see how it will go, it's kinda interesting. But I think I'm gonna get annoyed really quick if they keep showing the higher-ups of the Nura clan complaining every minute and others calming them down. They need to do something else for a change. Tsurara getting jealous though I can never get tired off.

Why are there two topics for the same episode?
Anyway, the episode was pretty interesting(got the series back to 8, after the failed attempt of a recap). I am finding myself liking Tsurara more and more XD
It seems though, that the animators might not want to pull another season after this one as they are trying to give the best episodes right now, episodes which are very concentrated.
Oh, I think I forgot to say but I love the OP and ED XD

Mild developments there, nothing more. I don't understand why Nura is fooling around with his human friends when an all-out war is ongoing with a powerful ennemy. Seems really illogical (well, it's not like I expect any shonen title to be logical).

It would be weird (suspicious) to call them to your place and spend almost no time with them (and the reason he called them was so that they wouldn't be attacked by the enemy just because they are his friends).

well i can sense why tsurara is in bad mood, with a member of the clan being killed and suddenly rikuo prioritizing still the safety of his friends, it looks to her that rikuo is weighing the members of the clan based on their importance and wouldn't even give time for their fallen comrade. well that's just IMO i guess. XD

well, i think the opposite,Studio DEEN is giving their best for the series right now for it to be successful that might help them green lit a second season, and besides, kitsune will be animated for the jump tour w/ a seiyuu already,isn't that something to watch out for,season 2 may well be in grasp. ^^,

Idon't think it was even official confirmed that NnM will eb a two cour series. In an interview they even said that if the show is successful enough, it will be long-running... and Kitsune getting animated at that event and latest manga chapter sayign that TV series is successful might mean that the series might not end in December.

given Tsurara(<3)'s personality, i'd say she's just jealous, she didn't like the idea of inviting Kana home since she likes night rikuo

Tsurara <3 flag thing was just so cute

Kappa was awesome, but they're straying way too much from the manga >w< where's Mezu and Gozu's infiltration at Shikokou's HQ??

Kappa is a badass.
BTW wtf was Rikuo doing. I thought he would stop the bird from saving his friend when he pulled out his sword but in the end he did nothing. That annoyed me. Why the hell didn't they just get rid of that water evil guy and allowed him to be rescued?
They are too soft to be called demons. Especially after what they did to there own mansion Rikuo should have taken the chance and kill the bird guy, letting Kappa finish off the other guy.

Pretty nice filler fight, and I think the next will be as well, Im not too sure id have to backtrack in the manga as well.

Still entertaining, im assuming the studio wants to extend this so the arc ends at episode 24 exactly, get some nice rating and get the green light for season 2. I do enjoy the anime somewhat, so hopefully it does well now and return.

unusual episode... definitely an anime original. i still liked the manga original more though. seems like they'll go for the one-on-one showdown style like what they did with the kappa versus gangi-kozo scenes. i hope they don't overdo it. and i hope they don't replace important events in this arc with their own. and kappa's epicness was revealed a bit too early in my opinion. he shines in the hyakki war of this arc.

Kappa is so cool!!! And it's been quite a while since youkai rikuo appears! And as usual he is sooo hot!! Why cant he just finish off that birdlike youkai? And i hope to see youkai rikuo attending like one of the meetings with the higher-ups in the clan, that'd be so cool!

it's because he did not interrupt Inu Hou-Ou from saving Gangi-Kozo but from targetting Kappa, you can clearly see in his flight that his aiming to attack Kappa that's why Rikuo protected him. and Kappa is definitely going to finish the enemy in his last attack but the bird guy rescued him and with no means to chase a flying foe they just let them go. and Rikuo can't fight in the water either that's why he's just standing there and it takes a flying youkai to defeat another flying youkai.

as the flow of the fights you need to WATCH,.

Now I have a proof that Kappa does exist.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

@Kana going "I think I believe in demons after all", well no shit sherlock, and this is only what, the 4th time you've been in mortal danger because of them? Seriously?

@The onmyoji girl going "wait you're a fire user?!" after blowing out the initial fire that the demon spread.

Just because he is a kappa and has water bending powers, doesn't mean he can channel such a large amount of water from that pond.
