Anyone else see the irony in the line "It's like she walked right out of a fairy tale!"?
Yuri is a pretty big theme this season it seems. :P

I can't stand Ranko. Why?

She's too pushy, nosy and can't take 'no' for an answer. Chihiro made it quite clear that he doesn't like her that way, yet she refuses to give up on him and will only end up getting hurt by it eventually, especially now that the whole secret concerning him and Rea is out. If she didn't take Chihiro's 'no' before, she's definitely not gonna sit back and watch Chihiro make out with a zombie girl. Chihiro friendzoned her long ago, and she doesn't even realize it.

Anyway, to the people complaining about the fanservice: most of it serves a purpose. Why was Rea licking Wanko? Not so much because she was horny, but because she smelled something on Wanko, probably hydrangea. It's also a HUGE clue that not all is right with Rea, further emphasized by her kissing him and nearly crushing him to death It's as if she was trying to suck the life out of him.

Oh well, Rea will come to her senses again next episode, so looks like we'll be back on track again then.

I think Deen needs to run more with the premise. So far, Rea just been relegated to kind of fetish-like fanservice and sexualized in every possible way. Plot hasn't really advanced. Also, Rea's parents, despite being scumbags, managed to elicit the emotional side of me. And so far, they have basically been left on the backburner, leaving kind of an emotional hole.

Deen has no choice - they're following the Manga.

Plot hasn't really advanced

what do you mean by plot haven't advance. They kissed(big development for love-comedy) in front of Wanko and the reveal of grandpa's secret is a big development. The overall(the early half of the episode) pace of this episode makes you felt its slow .

It's an ecchi anime. What do you expect?

Also, as someone said before, they're following the manga. They are literally doing 1 chapter per ep. If you want to blame anyone, blame the mangaka.

Well Rea licking Ranko was unexpected. :| Just... WHY? Rea's one weird zombie, yeah.

But that kiss made up for it. ♥ lol at Chihiro getting crushed by Rea's hug.

Awesome episode, maybe the best so far! I was afraid that this anime wouldn't be as good as the manga but so far I've been proved wrong ^^

Only thing I'm worried about at this point is that how long this anime will be airing. The manga's still on-going at a very interesting point so I think they'll have to end the anime somewhere earlier than where the manga is going at the moment :S I just hope they won't end it at the wrong moment ruining the ending of the anime =/

I've just watched this episode again. It was really good. It's even better than manga. The last scene with the "kiss" was marvelous. Rea's voice was so erotic, yet her grip was so deadly looking... I'm still not sure was I fascinated or scared.

Dat kiss <3333
No more words needed:)

BTW, is that only me, or most dislike Ranko? Personally I don't mind her and I can't see any reason to do.
Well, I think it's more like people prefer Rea over Ranko in the love triangle, hence the impression that people dislike Ranko ;)

The beginning was so promising and now they're doing ecchi stuff. T_T
I really hope next episode will be better, this was a huge disappointment.
Sure, it some good moments (not the ecchi ones), but I want some story development.

At first I thought that this episode would be surprisingly calm and uneventful but then it turned around during the last few minutes. Zombie Rea is pretty cool to say the least and that kiss! Talk about surprised audience. One would expect that she's about to attack Furuya and then it ends up being a pretty romantic and sweet scene; don't mind the "special" hug Rea's giving him. 5/5
Next week looks great as well.

people need to stop complaining about the fan service, it's anime, there is always some type of fan service somewhere. if you aren't used to it by now lol then this must be your first anime. like someone said before, fan service can serve a purpose at times, and also one of the genres for this show is ecchi. i liked this episode, thought it was really good!

She opened her mouth so big she looks like she was going to bite him =/. Rea did seem a little different then when she was a human . Which kind of make me a little nervous.

I seriously don't get the people that are complaining about the fan service, it's nothing new, the manga is ecchi, it's not overused and it never seemed out of place.

I know what's to come, and I still don't like her. Heck, her later actions in the manga made me dislike her even more. But, that leaves more for those who love her, I guess...

People will always need something to whine about. One side has an issue with the fanservice (which is entirely purposeful and hardly ever, if ever at all out of place), the other with pacing (many find it too slow-paced, even though the anime is pretty much identical to the manga in terms of story progression) and others just hate because it's done by Studio DEEN (even though they probably haven't watched a single episode).

This show became so average after Rea's death. Slow development and an overload of annoying fanservice. From the looks of the next episode's preview it seems to get better again but who knows...

Here is Chihiro with a really urgent matter to attend to, and his family unknowingly traps him with a day full of inescapable cleaning duties. Well, it's not like he has other options if he wanted to keep Rea a secret. Anyway, he's got some explaining to do now that there's a witness.

I guess they're really trying to stick to the one chapter, one episode approach, huh. They even fit in some anime-original scenes early in the episode to keep from moving into the next chapter. Well, not that it's a bad thing, because those scenes served to explain just how the student body at Rea's school perceives Rea.

Awesome episode! Chihiro's grandpa is hilarious, forgetting things all the time, like "Don't put fish paste in the miso soup!" "Dad, that's tofu." Eh? Eeeh??" :DD That person can make you laugh from the smallest things.

Now I get really annoyed by Wanko (or Ranko...don't know anymore). Why did she even have to go upstairs only to meet zombie Rea? I think she's there to get between Rea and Chihiro.

Babu is cute every time he says "Babu!" XD

Not a bad episode all fan service aside. I knew something bad was going to happen with Rea when Wanko was in the room.
Lol at the kiss at the end...Chihiro was getting crushed to death by her embrace haha xD Well it all work out anyways...guess he'll have to tell Wanko about what happened now though.

And his grandfather...looks like he was the potions creator...so may be we'll learn a few more things about it and it's power to bring back the dead eventually ;o
