| That song with the children's choir (the one they play in the previews) reminds me of Harry Potter in the best way. I want it. mayukachan said: I think they'll carry it through for me, since the show is short enough. I just hope that there aren't a bunch of boring, "comedy" centric episodes after this arc ends.hpulley said: ^Araby said: Agreed on all counts. Really don't care about the plot or characters at all. Great animation and music but... not sure that will be enough too carry it for me. Far from a favorite this season which is too bad, had high hopes for it.Terrible plot, dialogue, and characters. Great action and OST. skudoops said: Don't remind me, I'm trying to pretend that Coppelion never happened. The production values are pretty good but ugh that's about it, same like Coppelion, except that show is straight awful. While this has a chance to redeem itself still. |

| The new characters weapon looks really cool and I'm wondering if we'll get to see how powerful that youmu is. |
pakoko said: Kinda getting tired of the whole "you wouldn't understand my pain" theme... I feel like it's been played out too much with these kind of anime (that deal with like youmu). Next episode will probably have Kuriyama realize the pain that Kanbara went through as a half-youmu and half-human. And Kuriyama will definitely join the literary club, so it's kinda frustrating that they're playing that out too... "I'm not like you all," or "thank you for the offer, but I'll have to reject." Agreed. erika4dsl said: I'm mostly sticking around for the fight scenes and I'm going to start skipping "funny" scenes lol. Literally me, when I watched Chuunibyou. I skipped all the comedy fillers and went directly to the drama. Oh, KyoAni! |
| Mitsuki wearing glasses. Hot. ♥_♥ Looks like Akihito will be possessed by that Hollow Shadow. Good thing that he is immortal. So, he won't meet the same fate as Yui. I wonder who Sakura is. Probably a friend of both Mirai and Yui when Yui was still alive. Mirai is still my favourite girl in the anime. And the anime remains totally entertaining. :) |

| To summarize. Mirai: Go away you don't understand! Akihito: No, I really do! Mirai: You can't understand what I'm feeling, now go away! Akihito: No wait- Mirai: That's unpleasant. Akihito: ... Later, after cooking some eggs. Akihito: No, it's you who doesn't understand! I don't know anymore. |

I must also be the only person not really enjoying the action sequences. Because the show falls so short on the emotional content level they just feel like displays of animation to me and I feel more like I'm watching a set piece than something I'm immersed in. Basically it still fails to stand for it's action/dark fantasy moments even though it's technically well drawn and animated. |

| Mitsuki saving this series from having a total cast of forgettable or unlikable characters! The plot is okay, but my main issues are with the characters and their conflicts. Mirai is extremely annoying and seems like one of those characters who 'doesn't care about what happens to them because of some event in the past' again. Antagonist introduction was too sudden, she basically popped out of nowhere. MC is okay, but nothing special - just another MC who cares too much about others. |
| 06:33 dat Beeburr 07:22 i'd love to run in the hallway then, if dat teacher's around 11:04 it's obviously because of $$$ 13:19 so it's not because of money Meh. 6/10 for this ep. Dat ED <3 |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

In all seriousness though, that's just bad writing. The worst part is that next episode she's going to be all, *blush*, "s-s-sempai, you came for me," even though she JUST told him to leave her alone. |

| This episode was intense , right to the point at the start I am loving the fights |
 |
| ITT: People don't understand subtext and complain about the face value of conversations and actions. Ahaha. |
| omg love this series animation op ed all of it 5/5 and this is a new master piece best of da season for me rewatcing ed ad op for a 100 times now |
| It's always funny and mildly amusing seeing people continue watching a show they dislike or don't care for, just because. > characters r terrible liek so bad, writing iz bad im tellin u |
 |
| Didn't really enjoy this episode as much as I had with the previous two. I found it to be a bit boring and overall was a little disappointed. Groaned when they explained that Youmu as creations from human malice. It's not like I've heard that one a million different times or anything! The action scenes weren't as nice as the episode before and the flashback wasn't very interesting. No matter how much I wish I was... I'm jut not liking any of the characters. I was worried they'd all just be you're regular cast of overdone anime tropes. No one's horribly cliche I don't think, but they're all pretty bland. I'm just not feeling very attached to any of them. The plot doesn't seem like it'll be all that compelling either but I can live with that since I was never expecting a compelling plot at all. I feel like I might just be watching this or the BGM ED art and animation. |

| I like Mirai but she pissed me off this ep. "You wouldn't understand, you have friends, I'm a monster, no one even wanted to touch me, I'm a murderer...bla bla bla" I get what she is saying but the people who have treated her the complete opposite of what she expects she rejects! So backwards. |
Panaru said: ITT: People don't understand subtext and complain about the face value of conversations and actions. Ahaha. Enlighten me, intelligent one. Enlighten me by giving examples of the subtexts. |
skudoops said: tsudecimo said: It's always funny and mildly amusing seeing people continue watching a show they dislike or don't care for, just because. > characters r terrible liek so bad, writing iz bad im tellin u Well the show has an interesting premise and quite a bit of room to improve itself so I'm guessing people are just holding on to see if it gets better. Yes, this. ^ I don't necessarily dislike it YET, but it's certainly not at the top of my fall favourites so far. I want to stick around longer to see it unravel. |
Panaru said: It's not that we don't understand subtext, it's that we don't buy it.ITT: People don't understand subtext and complain about the face value of conversations and actions. Ahaha. Of course, she always really wanted him to help. That's what every vulnerable girl always wants. In order for that to be the case, she must not genuinely believe that she doesn't deserve happiness or that Akihito is unpleasant. She must actually enjoy when a glasses-fetish guy borderline stalks her and tells her that she doesn't understand herself or her own trauma (which would not go over well with a real traumatized person). When she keeps trying to kill Akihito (a part human who resembles a human), she's really just trying to get over her trauma from killing a fellow human. Wait. That doesn't make any sense. When she goes looking for sempai she wants him to notice her; when she avoids him she wants him to chase her. You can't explain everything away using subtext, because Mirai still won't make any sense. She's intentional written as a lifeless moe-blob and, personally, I think that's something worth complaining about. tsudecimo said: I can only speak for myself, but I explicitly stated things that I like about the show (the action and the OST). So, yeah..It's always funny and mildly amusing seeing people continue watching a show they dislike or don't care for, just because. |

| It's a bit confusing. I still don't know about the plot. Towards the end it got interesting |
 |
| I wish I liked this more... this episode was pretty "meh" imo. |
  |
| This series is nicely done. I really like the way that each character is designed, appearance, personality, and power-wise. The incredibly consistency of the quality in animation is nothing to scoff at either. On the other hand, I think they can do a better job of explaining things. There's a difference between being subtle and being unclear. They're being unclear right now as to what the heck is really going on in every characters' mind. |
| guys shes a tsundere - -'' so what she say does not really represent how she really feels... plssss |
| I am sad at so many hate on this series (or Mirai) :( for me, Mirai is very cool. Okay, those traumas are so mainstream and KyoAni has messed up her original character but all those actions are very good! I start to love Akihito too. The jokes are better in this episode too. Hope episode 4 will be better. |

Rinji- said: dat Nase milf. Looks like an adult Misaka with a mole. Anyway , great episode. I'm starting to take a liking of Mitsuki rather than Mirai. AND , I dislike the preview which they showed a huge massive point of the next episode , they should make it a lot more simpler previews to make the fans intrigued and at the same time making them to make the absolute choice of watching it next week. Ehh , I'm being a shit. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| great action, good episode.. probably one of the only anime this season that hasn't lost some steam after 3 weeks. |
 |
| I got a feeling that this is the kind of series that you have to rewatch to understand perfectly what is happening. The episode isn't bad, but it felt disjointed and confusing |
| Hahaha that cookie looks like a D! |
 |
| It's already 3rd ep. and i still don't have a fave character. The characters are not that likeable compared to the previous KyoAni anime. The story is quite confusing then more new characters are showing which confuses me even more. But i'll still continue watching this though i have no idea what's going on~ |

Takuan_Soho said: pakoko said: It's like she doesn't realize that she's not the only person who has ever suffered lol. The guy is half youmu half human I'm pretty sure that he's experienced shit too. Humm, I doubt that Akihito had his entire family killed, and then spent the next several years being told by everyone that he was destined to cause misery to the people he loved because of his ancestry, and then actually kill the one person who was trying to be his friend because he panicked out of fear, and then spent the next several years alone because he understood that they were right about his ancestry. I mean maybe he did, I just doubt it. Lol that "maybe" might actually be true, knowing KyoAni. |
| This show feels impossibly bland when it's competing with the other fantasy show that airs on the same day (Kyousougiga). Maybe if it aired in a weaker season I wouldn't mind it so much, but this feels like a chore. The writing is lacking any wit and is really boring, the characters are near universally unlikeable and even the action isn't all that impressive or inspired. |
 |
| Mitsuki should just keep wearing glasses. That's all. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| meh i'm starting to get irritated with this series because we never get any explanation on whats happening, it just happens and we'll have to accept it. Like who's this sakura girl? the battle scenes look awesome though, now that it gets serious the show might get better |
 |
SusuBitesYou said: Mirai is getting more and more annoying as the episodes go by. ^ I've always favoured siblings so I'm liking the Nase siblings, even though Mitsuki is not the type of character I'll usually like (admittedly I started out not really liking her). |

| Man this is my fave this season but I don't like cliff hangers damnit. Only 13 episodes :[ |
 |
| I get the feeling that Akihito probably has a similar past, because we already saw that he killed someone... unless he's about to be like "nope... I'm a real murderer!". I do wonder if there's more to him than meets the eye, for him to reach her that fast. And not entirely sure if Sakura is real or a delusion. But I really enjoyed this episode... wasn't a lot action, but it still had some good character development imo. -GiaN- said: Really?

| I'm enjoying it so far. This and Kill la Kill are the only fall shows I really anticipated, so I'm sticking with it. That, and every other fall show I tried made me say "nope" within minutes (Samurai Flamenco, Log Horizon, Coppelion...is there anything else worth watching?) |
| "straight cash, homie." |
| Was anyone else reminded of a Bleach OST track when Kuriyama Mirai was standing in the woods, getting ready for the fight? I swear it was the same build-up, but I cannot find which track. About the episode itself: I'm basically watching it for Nase Mitsuki and the animation at this point. 3/5. |
